[ad_1] Eight-and-a-half years on from Grand Theft Auto 5’s release at the twilight of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, the world has changed. Games have changed, humour has changed, the public has changed, the developers have changed – not just those who worked in GTA5 but, more than likely, the makeup of developer…

[ad_1] A slightly on-the-nose take on games-as-art still does its job. There’s a virtual exhibition for Norco, the extremely moody, murky point-and-click mystery coming at the end of this month, that you can play here on Steam for free. I’ve had a little poke around and, alright, it’s a room with some game art in it.…

[ad_1] I don’t have the greatest of relationships with Twitter. It’s wormed its way into the cracks of my life now, weeding out and up into the in-between moments, the time when the human brain is supposed to be empty, supposed to be just taking a sec to recover. Queues, coffee breaks, compulsive tab-switches between…

[ad_1] Writing anything good about Cyberpunk 2077 can feel a little like defending the indefensible. This game launched as a disaster on last-gen consoles, got pulled from sale, missed some features that were advertised during pre-launch rounds of marketing (do not get me started on this game’s appalling marketing), frequently swerved across the road from…

[ad_1] Hello! Pokémon Legends: Arceus is upon us at last, so we’ve put together a quick episode of our totally-not-sporadic Eurogamer Reviewscast, a series where we sit down with the author of one of our latest reviews and pick their brains about their time with game. Joining me this time was two more of our…

[ad_1] It’s a strange kind of punishment, being a long-term player of Game Freak’s collective Pokémon works. To have played all these games as they came out is to be forever tormented by the series high of Pokémon’s early gems. For many these are all-time video game highs: deep, vast, iconic giants, games that launched…

[ad_1] Six, plus two! The Number of the Beast! Surprise! Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting one more faction at launch, the Daemons of Chaos, led by none other than the Daemon Prince himself. This is the eighth and “final” race to be available in Warhammer 3 at launch, joining the two human races of Kislev…

[ad_1] Barely an hour into a good six-hour preview of Total War: Warhammer 3’s campaign, and I have been royally gazumped. I’m playing as Grand Cathay, one of the eight new factions playable in the game – and yes, there are eight; Creative Assembly announced a final surprise faction, Chaos Daemons, during our previous session,…

[ad_1] What is Pokémon Legends Arceus? Good question. With just a little over two weeks until its full release, this is by far the most secretive the Pokémon Company has been about one of its core series games, at least in our memory. Pokémon Legends Arceus preview Publisher: Nintendo, The Pokémon Company Developer: Game Freak…
