Like it or loathe it, you can't argue with the success of Crimson Desert. Per a new report, Pearl Abyss' latest action-RPG has sold so well that the developer and publisher has reportedly given every employee a bonus that equates to about $3,400. Read more Read more ›

Marathon's arrival in March hasn't made much of an impact on Arc Raiders' player numbers, but the player sentiment, at least on Steam, isn't exactly where it was a few months ago. That hasn't substantially altered Embark Studios' early 2026 roadmap, however, which culminates with today's Riven Tides update. Read more Read more ›

Back in 1994, Luc Besson released a movie that not only introduced us to Natalie Portman in her feature film debut, but also - it turns out - inspired the name for one of gaming's most iconic characters: Leon Kennedy. That film was Léon: The Professional, and saw actor Jean Reno in the titular role of a milk-loving hitman who takes 12 year old Mathilda (played by Portman) under his... Read more ›

While the ongoing RAM crisis is preventing the Steam Machine and Frame's arrival, the new Steam Controller is launching next week, and we think it's pretty sweet, albeit a bit niche still. What about a potential Steam Deck 2 though? Is Valve working on that already? Read more Read more ›

Look, let's be honest, Square Enix is a hard company to get behind right now. Between layoffs, peculiar restructuring plans, and a penchant for chasing the hottest controversial flavour of the month, there are many reasons to be sceptical of one of Japan's biggest publishers in 2026. But, for all the dubious business moves and articles about NFTs, there exists a publisher that looks like the Square Enix we remember... Read more ›

Six months after Valve tantalisingly unveiled its future hardware plans, one of them has successfully escaped the vortex caused by the mounting RAM crisis. Valve has announced its new Steam Controller - the successor to its long-discontinued 2015 effort - goes on sale 4th May. Read more Read more ›

Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give Valve's new Steam Controller is that in the week or so I've been using it, I haven't really thought about it much at all. With its heavily Steam-Deck-inspired design, it improves on the original Steam Controller in almost every way - and it's certainly vastly more convincing as an everyday controller - but the things it does best are specific enough that, even...

It's been over nine years since Mass Effect: Andromeda tried to kickstart a new era of BioWare's original sci-fi RPG universe, an experiment that ended with pretty poor results. Now, we're eagerly awaiting news on the mainline follow-up revealed in late 2020 and Amazon's TV show. Read more Read more ›

There is one death in particular in The Last of Us Part 2 that many are still struggling to come to terms with five years on from the game's release. And, it turns out that this death was not only controversial for those of us in The Last of Us' gaming community. Even many developers internally at Naughty Dog - the studio that made the game - questioned this decision.... Read more ›

Supermassive's "party horror" games, as I like to call them, have become a guilty pleasure of mine. This series famously began with Until Dawn in 2015 and peaked with House of Ashes in 2021, if you ask me. (Although I enjoyed the schlocky Quarry in 2022 as well.) It's a series pitched like an interactive horror movie, where you try to shepherd a group of ill-fated characters through a slasher... Read more ›
