The first big Mewgenics update is great news for Mages, with a wealth of balance changes

It’s been a long time in the oven, but Mewgenics update 1.1 is finally live. The cat-collecting strategy game has followed beautifully in the steps of its older sibling, The Binding of Isaac. It managed to win my heart despite me not particularly caring for its gross-out tendencies, offering a tightly designed blend of positional…

Talos Principle 3 will definitely be the last one in the series, because ‘so many videogames just don’t end, and then you have an endless kind of cliffhanger’

The Talos Principle 3 is coming, and I’m very excited: What initially attracted my attention as a sideshow curiosity from the Serious Sam guys quickly proved itself a clever puzzle game powered by an unexpectedly compelling and thoughtful narrative. I like it a lot! And so it’s kind of a bummer that Croteam insists, with…

Arkane’s Dishonored always felt like a secret Thief sequel, and that’s because it started life as one

Dishonored remains my personal favorite of Arkane Austin’s lineup. I appreciated the studio’s take on Prey, and even have a playthrough of Redfall under my belt (I’ll maintain it had the foundations of something great, though it never stuck the landing). It’s the 2012 sneak-em-up that won my heart, however. Atmospheric and stylish, it manages…

One Move Away is a great cosy packing game, even if it had me rage-flinging boxes into the back of a truck

Like many others that have come before it, One Move Away derives its satisfaction from handing a bunch of stuff to players and asking them to neatly solve it. And in the same way that Unpacking uses this as a storytelling medium, One Move Away utilises each of its scenarios to tell the story of…

Jason is finally coming to Dead by Daylight, and he goes invisible and tosses hooks at you

“It’s so awesome and surreal to finally see this actually happening in the game,” Behaviour’s Head of Partnerships Mathieu Cote says during a press preview. “We’ve made no secret of the fact that we’ve wanted Jason in the game since day one; he’s always had a standing invitation. He’s now finally ready to join.” The…

“We’re not competing with Dawn of War 1, we’re competing with people’s memory” says DoW 4 lead creative

When Dawn of War 4 launches this September, it’s going to be judged against the original Dawn of War. “That’s a terrifying benchmark!” cries Jan Theysen, Creative Director at KING Art Games, the studio developing the latest entry in the venerable RTS series. I interviewed Theysen ahead of the announcement for the game’s release date…

All Paralives money cheats | PC Gamer

Just like its life sim cousins, Paralives has quite a few money cheats you can use to get rich quick, but maybe they’re tucked away in an even longer, more complex list of Paralives cheats you don’t want to dig through. I get that, not everyone wants to know about item IDs or time hacks….

“I’m very rusty:” Counter-Strike creator ‘Gooseman’ doesn’t play CS2 much these days, but he did check out Cache

As one of the creators of the original Counter-Strike, Minh Le – known best online as ‘Gooseman’ – naturally still keeps his eyes on the game he helped to foster from a Half-Life mod into the all-conquering beast that has now become what CS2 is today. Valve’s multiplayer game remains largely untouchable at the top…

Paralives launch time and release date

It’s finally happening: we’re getting a third life sim on the block when the Paralives launch arrives later today. The Sims series is about to have yet another new neighbor and this girl next door is looking like a real diamond in the rough. Paralives is not coming in flawless at its early access launch,…

New Diablo 4 patch notes stamp out ‘infinite goblin’ War Plans exploit

Blizzard has released its next Diablo 4 patch notes, which solve a range of gripes blocking quest progression and incorrectly restricting rewards across the action RPG. The new update also takes aim at a few cheeky tricks with War Plans that could be used to spawn effectively infinite loot goblins at a time, or continuously…
