Brewing beer you can’t drink is a special form of simulator self-torture
[ad_1] It must be really hard to think up an original simulator. It seems that almost every job that involves some form of physical work is now painstakingly reconstructed on PC. From farming to driving trucks and beyond—I’ve even seen a Food Truck simulator about. But Brewmaster brings the simulation magic to beer brewing, and…

You can stop FIFA 23 from telling you you’re bad at FIFA 23
[ad_1] We’ve all had less than ideal matches in games. No matter what you play, from Rocket League to League of Legends, you’ll know there are games in which you could have performed better. Normally any scathing remarks come from your opponents or maybe even the people you’re playing with, and you can mute or…

These Skyrim and Fallout tarot decks are more novelty than magic
—
by
[ad_1] One thing I taught myself at university was how to read tarot cards. I can’t say I exactly believe that these pieces of paper can read my future, but it’s always a nice party trick when you do a reading for someone and it gives them real insights. Pointing out that they might be…

Valorant is inching closer to telling players they’re bad people
[ad_1] Valorant’s 5.06 patch notes are here and they’re calling out bad behaviour. Though the main focus of the patch is the large changes to the map Pearl, which I’ll go over in detail, what piqued my curiosity is the brand new Disruptive Gameplay-based Behaviour Indicator. Valorant is now going to point out the players…

Honey, I smooched a kaiju
[ad_1] I can’t say I’m enormously into dating simulators. I reckon they’d either make me sad because I’d realise how lonely I was without a partner or make me feel strange flirting with a PC considering I had an actual partner I could be talking to. But Kaichu was the exception. It’s the exception because…

Golfing for your life through purgatory is far more fun than you’d think
[ad_1] Not to brag, but the one time I played mini golf, I won. And I wasn’t a kid either, that was this year. So with this boundless confidence I decided to try out Cursed to Golf, a roguelike where you play to escape from purgatory back to the real world with your golfing prowess.…

I can’t wait for Assassin’s Creed to be Assassin’s Creed again
[ad_1] I credit the original Assassin’s Creed games as one of the series that really got me into gaming. I had dabbled in all sorts of titles previously but when I started taking gaming seriously, I turned to the preowned section of UK retailer GAME. It was here that I could buy quite a few…

Gizmo and Stripe are coming to Multiversus and are “two separate characters”
[ad_1] Multiversus isn’t done with its roster in the slightest, and keeps on expanding in unexpected ways. The surprisingly good fighting game from Warner Bros is adding in as many iconic characters as it can with weekly updates and the next friendly faces getting thrown into the battle are Gizmo and Stripe from the film…

Elden Ring’s horror is better because it’s not dark and gloomy
[ad_1] There were all sorts of questions on players’ minds before the release of Elden Ring about how a Dark Souls experience would translate to an open-world structure. How could Elden Ring capture that fear, the claustrophobia, that punishing atmosphere when players have all that room to escape? Well the answer is because Elden Ring…

Archery in games is bad: here’s how to make it better
[ad_1] Archery is among the most represented sports in games. Football and racing are up there, of course, but naming one action game without a bow and arrow somewhere in it is a difficult job. But for all the archery we see in gaming, very little of it hits the bullseye. Games don’t need to…
