Baldur’s Gate 3 Is Still Great On PS5, Just A Little Rougher Around The Edges
2.9.2023
Baldur’s Gate 3 is an excellent game. The PC version of Larian Studios’ D&D epic will easily be a frontrunner in game of the year discussions come December, and the PlayStation 5 version is a comparable experience, at least if you don’t have a beefy enough PC to run the game well. That said,...
17 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Playing Starfield
1.9.2023
Starfield is finally here and it is big, complex, and often overwhelming. There are tons of menus to navigate, cities to get acquainted with, and skill trees to invest in, not to mention resource mining, base building, and ship customization. Before you get into any of that, however, let’s go over...

What’s Included (And What’s Not) In Cyberpunk 2077’s Free 2.0 Update
1.9.2023
Cyberpunk 2077 has certainly had a long, strange journey from being totally busted at launch to reasonably playable today. Debates rage on as to whether it can ever deliver on all the pre-launch hype CD Projekt Red generated, but soon the game will get another chance to impress with the one-two...

Starfield’s Local Planet Map Is Horrible
1.9.2023
You’ve probably heard this before, but Starfield, Bethesda’s latest open-world RPG, is very, very big. The new game, out now in “early access” on Xbox and PC, spans multiple solar systems and hundreds of planets. And when exploring that vast digital galaxy, the in-game maps are fine. But once...

Wow, Starfield's Lockpicking Minigame Is Really Fun
1.9.2023
For as long as RPGs have had locked doors, video game designers have developed ways to let players unlock these doors without a key. Some of these unlocking minigames are fine, but many are annoying or boring, and some are downright bad. Starfield might be one of my favorite lockpicking minigames...
Where To Sell All The Stuff You Grabbed In Starfield
1.9.2023
Starfield is finally here after years of waiting. (Assuming you spent the extra money to play the game early, that is.) So you excitedly booted it up, started playing, and did what so many people do in Bethesda RPGs: grabbed everything. But now, where do you sell all this shit? The game doesn’t...
Starfield Players Are Already Filling Up Their Ships With Random Junk
1.9.2023
I did not expect Starfield to have so many useless items lying about that I could pick up and do absolutely nothing with. A few hours into the sprawling sci-fi blockbuster and my first ship is already full of junk I’m just dumping on the floor, unsure where to place it, and apparently I’m...

Miyamoto Was Like ‘That’s Not How Elephants Work’
1.9.2023
The next mainline 2D Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, looks fantastic, shaking up the franchise’s formula with new powers, worlds, and enemies.

Nier Automata's Latest Video Game Crossover Is Its Horniest One Yet
31.8.2023
Nier: Automata, a fatalistic video game about attractive androids fighting to save a doomed humanity, is a franchise that’ll never say no to making a guest appearance in another video game regardless of how nonsensical the crossover might be. In the six years since its release, the sci-fi...

31.8.2023
Larian Studios recently announced it would be altering some aspects of Baldur’s Gate 3’s ending in order to flesh out parts that some fans (rightfully) argued felt a bit undercooked compared to everything that preceded them. The first of these updates came out today, August 31, as part of...
