I figured this wasn’t what was supposed to happen, took it to another rig and had the same problem. After … Read more

I’ve been boppin’ along to Final Fantasy 14’s disco raid theme for months without realizing it’s an anthem for existential burnout

You know that part in Barbie The Movie where the beloved bubbly doll played by Margot Robbie totally kills the dancefloor fun by asking, “Do you guys ever think about dying?” like it’s the most normal question to ask mid-bop? That’s what Final Fantasy 14 has done to me with Dancing Green’s theme song, Ride … Read more

More than a year after its last update, this forgotten RTS from the makers of Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is being removed from Steam

We described Crossfire: Legion as “a promising, if somewhat sparse tactical RPG” when it appeared in the 2022 PC Gaming Show, shortly after its early access launch in May of that year.

Ya’ll ever see a videogame skin so bad you’re forced to immediately go to sleep? My eyes rolled all the way back in my head perusing the day one store offerings of Off The Grid, an NFT-powered battle royale that launched yesterday on Steam after a stint in early access on the Epic Games Store. … Read more

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake will launch ‘very soon,’ Ubisoft exec says, but he also namedropped Splinter Cell for no apparent reason so maybe he’s still just messing with us

It’s been five years since the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake first leaked out of the Russian Uplay store, and while plenty has happened since then, one thing that definitely has not happened is the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. It’s basically Skull and Bones redux: Repeated delays, a … Read more

I’ve been obsessed with a single dialogue choice in an underappreciated Obsidian game for 10 years, so I tracked down the guy who wrote it to learn everything about my favorite joke in RPG history

For ten years, I’ve been obsessed with a single dialogue choice (really a collection of choices) at the beginning of Pillars of Eternity’s first expansion, The White March: Part One. Once you’ve finished beating back an ogre attack on the town of Stalwart, you’re free to poke around, meet the residents, accept side quests, all … Read more

The brainbox behind Valve’s Steam Labs says the number of Steam releases featuring GenAI in 2025 is 1 in 5, with 7% of all games on there now incorporating it: ‘We’ve octupled last year’s figure’

Ichiro Lambe is a games industry veteran with one hell of a CV: he co-founded Worlds Apart (which became Sony Online Denver), founded Dejobaan Games (probably best-known for the excellently named skydiving game AaaaaAAaaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!), and consulted at Valve for a spell, during which he was one of the key movers behind the creation of Steam … Read more
