OpenMW 0.51.0 Release Announcement – YouTube Watch On Morrowind, the gloomiest and mushroomiest of all the Elder Scrolls games, is getting on in years—and it was never the most polished game in town, even upon its release a whopping 24 years ago.

I Am Looking For My Father In Blue Prince’s Spiral Of Stars

This piece contains spoilers for the entirety of Blue Prince. Blue Prince does not have a clear, clean-cut ending. It has a number of stopping places where one can choose to walk away, such as when the player finds Room 46 or when they discover the secret will of Baroness Auravei. But no single one…

New Valorant map Summit breaks some core FPS rules, forcing you to “adapt on the fly”

We’ve all been avidly watching Valorant‘s social media account over the past few days, lapping up Sage-related easter eggs in an attempt to piece together what the shooter’s new map will look like.

My Beloved PSP Era Lost Gem Tactics Game Finally Returns

Every original PSP owner has ‘that game.’ Not the one that got away. The one that’s still trapped in a tower high. Year after year, more PSP exclusives are ported or remastered.

Every Monday morning I scroll through the previous week’s new games on Steam. I’ve always enjoyed doing this. It can surface niche gems I might otherwise not have found, and it’s also useful for detecting new trends in their infancy. But if I’m perfectly honest, the reason I’ve always loved to browse through Steam’s raw…

Order Of The Sinking Star’s Biggest Villain Is Its Own Creator

The first thing you will see in the Next Fest demo for Order of the Sinking Star is a menu prompt. The current build uses computer-generated voice overs as placeholders, likely AI judging by the demo’s Steam page disclosure. You are given two options, one to leave them on or one for “No Clankers!” It’ll…
