Baldur’s Gate 3 is a very horny RPG, as well as being broadly brilliant, and Larian knows exactly what its players want: smooching. Patch 6, dropping next week, will give the horny romantics something to get excited about in the form of “improved smooches”, along with some other additions.  In a tease on Twitter, the…

I’ve been writing about games for too long to keep track of the number of times I’ve been promised a “living world”, but the prospect continues to hold so much appeal that I’ve yet to become jaded—uncharacteristically—despite the payoffs being few and far between.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League spends much of its first couple of hours introducing the Justice League and establishing just how out of their depth the squad is, and while all of these introductions are pretty neat, one in particular stands out: Batman’s. Naturally, there are spoilers beyond.  The criminal quartet has narrowly avoided…

You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s just adding new systems with reckless abandon, but somehow Dave the Diver all comes together to be the best designed game of 2023. For more awards, head to our Game of the Year 2023 page. Fraser Brown, Online Editor: There should be too much going on in Dave the…

Disappointments, delays and the purgatory of early access meant that it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Games like Jagged Alliance 3, Age of Wonders 4, Aliens: Dark Descent and Company of Heroes 3,…

If you were hoping that Baldur’s Gate 3’s arrival on Xbox would herald its inclusion on Game Pass for prospective console and PC players, it looks like you’re out of luck. Larian’s impressive RPG will continue to only be available if you’re willing to shell out—but I promise you it’s worth it. In my Baldur’s…
