Starfield fans already have some very convincing theories on how its main quest begins
[ad_1] What is Starfield’s main quest about, and how does the space RPG begin? Over the years Bethesda games have had some pretty iconic openings. Most notably—it became a meme—is Skyrim’s “Hey you, you’re finally awake” intro, where you begin the game as a prisoner on a wagon carrying you to your execution. Fallout 3’s…

I’m loving this chill city builder with storybook looks and fairytale charm
[ad_1] The great thing about Steam Next Fest (opens in new tab) is there are literally hundreds of free demos to play. The downside comes when you find one that you want to keep on playing long after the bite-sized demo is done. That’s where I’m at with Fabledom (opens in new tab), a charming…

This indie colony sim’s secret weapon: one-on-one interviews with players about what they like

Starfield release date speculation has eclipsed everything else about the RPG
[ad_1] What is Starfield (opens in new tab)‘s release date? We still don’t know.

This hilarious game is made of 56 frantic minigames that you only need a single button to play
[ad_1] The Atari 2600 controller was about the simplest game controller you could imagine. No triggers, no D-Pad, no shoulder buttons, no haptic feedback or rumble pak.

Why do games get removed from Steam? Here are 16 weird reasons
[ad_1] Did you buy Prey on Steam? Not the 2017 version from Arkane and Bethedsa: I’m talking about the 2006 version from Human Head Studios and 2K Games. If you didn’t and want to now, you can’t—the original Prey was quietly removed from Steam a few years ago. If you own it, you should still…

[ad_1] Imagine waking up on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. Your first impulse might be to escape, maybe by grabbing some wood, crafting a boat, and sailing away.
