Among Us' murderous beans are about to see themselves faced with a whole new map, and it is full of secrets, deceit and mushrooms (the most evil of pizza toppings, in my opinion). That's right, Among Us is about to become among fungus. The Fungal, as it is known, will be available across all platforms as part of a free update. It promises players the chance to immerse their Impostors... Read more ›

Don't call me Ishmael. Today, you can call me the whole rabbling cast of the Pequod. This is the beautiful, improbable conceit at the heart of Saltsea Chronicles, because it's a game in which you put to sea not as a sailor but as a crew. And it's a crew that's already hurting, anxious and uncertain of things. A crewmate has disappeared without warning. Where did they go? Who took... Read more ›

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a rare thing in modern gaming: a PC-centric release, based on unique game engine technology.

However, it also arrived with a variety of performance issues, from network stability problems to frame-time hitching, even for those with higher-end kit. The... Read more ›

Lilith Moira, Diablo's demonic Queen of the Succubi, is now in Overwatch 2, but this has been even less of a heavenly debut than perhaps developer Blizzard was expecting.

You see, it turns out this Lilith skin is... Read more ›
