Sombra’s New Overwatch 2 Rework Is Here, And I Hate It
4.10.2023
Sombra, Overwatch 2’s hacking, harassing, stealthy damage hero, has been one of my favorite characters on the hero shooter’s roster since I started playing in 2019. Her cloaking and hack-based kit is distinct, and even after her rework leading into Overwatch 2, I’ve still had a lot of fun with...

New Doom Mod Is Basically A Badass Indiana Jones Game
29.9.2023
Doom is still a very good first-person shooter, even if it’s nearly 30 years old. But that first, world-changing chapter did lack something that its predecessor, Wolfenstein 3D, had plenty of—Nazi killin’. Thankfully a new total conversion mod for Doom, called Venturous, has fixed this and in...
Overwatch 2’s Anniversary Event Doesn’t Feel Like A Celebration
27.9.2023
Overwatch 2 needs to be studied in a lab. Or, hell, maybe I need to be studied in a lab for how much I still love Blizzard’s hero shooter despite the company continuing to fumble the bag. The sequel’s first Anniversary event, which is running from now until October 9, is the latest example...

Payday 3’s Busted ‘Always Online’ Launch Is a Mess, CEO Apologizes
22.9.2023
By many accounts, Payday 3 appears to be a disappointing half-step forward for the longrunning co-op bank robbery series. Unlike its predecessor, it also requires players to always be online, a seemingly grave misjudgement given Payday 3’s first-week launch woes. The problems with crashes, slow...
