Elden Ring’s bosses are hard enough for me no matter how prepared I am to fight them, so it’s extraordinary (and hilariously frustrating) watching someone beat them without doing a damn thing.

Apart from the game’s crappy, minimalistic logo, some of the most consistent chatter surrounding the recent Street Fighter 6 reveal has to do with series protagonist Ryu. He’s wide, folks, sporting sandals and that much-beloved “Hot Ryu” facial hair, but what seems to have folks most intrigued...

22.2.2022
When the main story of Genshin Impact’s Inazuma region concluded last September, a lot of fans (including yours truly) felt a little bit let down.

How do you fill up a giant open world so that it doesn’t feel dead and empty? You can litter the map with points of interest, unleash a swarm of prehistoric robots to roam its peaks and valleys, and make sure every other vista is exploding with lens flair. Or, in Horizon Forbidden West’s case,...

Dying Light 2 has a large and cool Doom Easter egg in it. It’s very nice, complete with a special new shotgun and a visual filter that makes the game look more retro. However, the folks at Techland decided that wasn’t enough and stuck a separate and also cool Star Wars Easter egg in this already...
