Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K Universe Inches Closer To Reality


In the grim dark future of the 41st millennium, there is only... contract negotiations? A year ago Games Workshop announced that it was working with Amazon Studios to bring the universe of its legendary sci-fi miniatures game Warhammer 40,000 to film and TV. Today it did so again, but now it’s even...

Should You Play Cyberpunk 2077 Now Or Wait For Phantom Liberty?


If you’ve been on the internet between December of 2020 to right now, you’ve probably heard something about the supposed Cyberpunk 2077 renaissance. That redemption arc seems to be finally coming to fruition with the upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion, which promises a complete overhaul of...

Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Sizable Patch Right Before Phantom Liberty Expansion


Developer CD Projekt Red is still tinkering with Cyberpunk 2077 ahead of DLC Phantom Liberty’s September release. Case in point: The studio dropped a new patch for the open-world sci-fi RPG on June 20, detailing fixes for a number of bugs, including a few that seem to have been around since...

The Cyberpunk Genre Is Broken, And The Creator Of Citizen Sleeper Agrees


Cyberpunk. When you think of the word, you likely conjure up images of a futuristic cityscape awash in neon lights, amalgams of Western-Japanese architecture, and a cybernetic hero equipped with a samurai sword—or a “AAA” game still trying to get its bearings. But what often gets lost in the glitz...

Cyberpunk 2077 Totally Misunderstands Subways, According To A Transit Expert


When it comes to offering plausible visions of the future, the cyberpunk genre tends to fall just short of perfection. Eidos Montreal’s trench coat runway show, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, portrayed a convincing version of near-future Prague but royally screwed up how vents work. DICE’s parkour...

A Stunning Southern Dystopia Is One Of The Best-Written Games Of The Year


The unnerving tone of Geography Of Robot’s Southern Gothic point-n-click adventure Norco fascinates me. Its conflation of a recognisable 21st-century Louisiana, and dystopian science fiction, creates an oppressive darkness that weighs on my mind as I click through the game’s “mind-map” menu, where...

Cyberpunk 2077's Best Improvement Is Secretly Its Overhauled Map


Earlier this week, developer CD Projekt Red rolled out a massive patch for its Blade Runner homage, Cyberpunk 2077.

What The Matrix Resurrections Really Says About Video Games Isn't Obvious


Video games are both important and unimportant in The Matrix Resurrections. They’re mentioned a lot–they play a significant role in the life of Keanu Reeves’ character, Thomas Anderson–but at the same time, the film isn’t particularly interested in games as games. Rather, games serve as a metaphor...

Keanu Reeves Is Super Excited You All Tried To Mod Cyberpunk 2077 To Bone Him


Last year, when Cyberpunk 2077 came out—between all the bugs and problems players encountered—a group of modders decided to try and tinker with the game to let you fuck one of its main stars, Keanu Reeves. The famous actor plays Cyberpunk’s digital rebel cyberghost Johnny Silverhand, and while...

Resurgence Of Facism Forces Warhammer To Remind Fans Imperium Are Villains


Some Warhammer 40,000 players think the game’s fascist Imperium of Man faction is awesome, and actually has a few good ideas. It does not. To clarify this point—which more than one Warhammer 40K fan appears to have missed—maker Games Workshop put out a statement saying that you do not, under...

Friendship Ended With Cyberpunk, Now ANNO: Mutationem Is New Best Friend


During the Steam Next Fest, a week-long event featuring demos and previews for upcoming games, one game called out to me from the crowd: the cyberpunk role-playing game ANNO: Mutationem. The trailer alone felt specifically designed to lure me in, with its rhythmic soundtrack, its neon-drenched...

Cyberpunk Western Looks Endearingly Absurd


After a month of teasing on social media, the small team behind ExeKiller released a full reveal trailer for their upcoming action-adventure game earlier today, and believe me when I say it’s a lot.Read more

For Cyberpunk 2077 Fans, Dunking Has Become A Sport


The Cyberpunk 2077 saga has been a long one but it’s still far from over. The latest development? Fans co-opting the game’s social media marketing campaign to dunk on things missing from the sci-fi RPG’s open world.Read more

Single-Player Games Are Finally Making A Comeback, Sort Of


Once upon a time, Shigeru Miyamoto famously said, “A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.” It’s a statement that felt like it would never fall out of fashion, until it did. Modern games are never finished. Bad games become good. Good games become bad. Games of all stripes...
