[ad_1] The second big Geoff “Games” Keighley gaming show of the year is here. The Game Awards 2022 premiered late Thursday night and, yes, there sure were some awards given, but as always they were joined by a metric ton of world premiere trailers. You simply can’t do a gaming event without trailers, it seems.…

[ad_1] If you’re trying to figure out how to download Minecraft, don’t sweat it. Getting the correct version of the game and setting up your account isn’t nearly as confusing these days, a decade after its original release. Although there are two versions of Minecraft, they’re now sold as a package deal and are more…

[ad_1] Disney Dreamlight Valley has reached my least favourite stage of every hit life sim—any game with a building system, really. It’s the part where everyone’s had a month to fiddle with the particulars of their builds and now I’m inescapably envious of everyone else’s village. Just one day into Dreamlight Valley, I did what…

[ad_1] Debates over which new mob should be added to Minecraft have started earlier than usual this year, and will probably get just as bitter and bloody as ever. But after just a few hours this one is already starting to feel like a landslide because players (and I) have already fixated on the obvious…

[ad_1] Picking from the best Minecraft seeds is my first task when starting a new world. No matter whether you’re embarking on a new survival safari, or just a creative crafting endeavor, you’ll want to pick the right canvas. Whether you prefer a vibrant jungle hiding temple ruins, a lonely island village in the ocean,…

[ad_1] The life sims seeds have been sewn and now there are more games like Stardew Valley on PC than I can possibly play. Long gone are the days of 2016 when Stardew first revitalized the farm and town sim genre left largely fallow in the shadow of the console-bound Harvest Moon series Nowadays, official…

[ad_1] Disney Dreamlight Valley has a meta, and it’s pumpkins. More ominously, cunning players have found a way to trap and exploit Dreamlight Valley’s iconic citizens in order to score increased harvest margins on their cash crops. This kind of ruthless economic efficiency is inevitable in farm sims, but still feels slightly surprising in the…

[ad_1] Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories. Phasmophobia (Image credit: Kinetic Games) Developer: Kinetic GamesYear: 2020 Most groups of gaming friends have a casual hangout game, the equivalent of having a football game on the TV that nobody’s too invested in, or going window-shopping without intending…

[ad_1] Unconventional concepts require excellent execution, and Ravenbound’s open world roguelite mashup is indeed unusual. After a promising first look at Ravenbound back in August I’ve gotten to play it sooner than I expected… and probably sooner than developer Systemic Reaction should have allowed. As of right now, Ravenbound’s melee combat is not excellent. And…

[ad_1] There are several games you can play this autumn that are all named “potion”-something. They’re all about cauldrons and brewing magic elixirs to some extent, but they’re all slightly different simulation subgenres, too. There’s medieval witchery and modern witch entrepreneurship and even large-scale potion pipelines. I’ve been following a couple of these for years…
