The Entire Dark Souls Trilogy Is Discounted On PC
27.9.2024
I think the first Dark Souls game quite literally saved me. Despite having tried my hand at it in the past, namely when the original iteration of it came out on consoles back in 2011, I’d never stuck around to see it through to the end, or even get past a few early bosses. However, in the middle...
This New FPS Is Really Weird, But Really Awesome, Too
26.9.2024
Trying to describe Echo Point Nova, a newly released PC shooter, is a tricky thing. I could describe it as a game that mixes Titanfall’s movement, modern Doom’s gunplay, Minecraft’s destructibility, Skyward Sword’s floating islands, and wicked rad hoverboarding into one oddball package—though that...

2024’s Most Absurd Platformer Is On Sale Right Now
24.9.2024
I’ve written off most of the humor in games. Maybe tons of it is funny to the millions of players outside of myself, but most of it misses the mark for me. Instead, I often find humor in the random conversations me and my friends have when we play games together, or the shenanigans we sometimes...

Players Can't Believe $40 Karate Kid Brawler Has Such Bad-Looking Cutscenes
24.9.2024
The Karate Kid: Street Rumble looks like your average modern 2D beat ’em up: button mashing combos, neat retro pixel art, and little stylish touches that bring out the nostalgia for people in love with the source material. But something went terribly, terribly wrong during the $40 game’s brief...

God of War Ragnarok recently arrived on PC after getting rave reviews on PS4 and PS5 back in 2022.

One perk of PC gaming is that the big two console manufacturers keep releasing their best games on Steam, so we don’t have to pick between one or the other. A little over a week ago, PlayStation had its own big sale that slashed prices on games like God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Now it’s...

Of all the games I’ve played this year, Children of the Sun is far and away the most hostile. This trippy shooter follows The Girl, a survivor of The Cult’s abuses, as she takes her revenge on them and The Leader. Yes, those terms are all capitalized properly, Children of the Sun sees fit to give...
God Of War Ragnarök’s PC Port Is A Worse Version Of An Excellent Game
23.9.2024
I’ve only put a few hours into God of War: Ragnarök’s PC port. I was hoping this would be a chance for me to reassess a game I probably played under the wrong circumstances (rushing to the end because I had to know what happened). Unfortunately, after playing a bit of the PlayStation powerhouse...

God Of War Ragnarök Is The Latest Steam Review Victim Of Sony's PC Login Requirement
20.9.2024
God Of War Ragnarök was one of 2022's hit games on PS5 and PS4, and by all accounts it looks great and plays well on PC, where it arrived via Valve’s storefront earlier this week. The Steam user review score is less than stellar, however, as players use the metric to once again boycott Sony’s...
