One of my favourite soulslike shoot-’em-ups—Remnant 2—just quietly dropped on PC Game Pass, and it’s a really good time to subscribe anyway
Remnant 2 is an absolute banger. We gave it a solid 84 in our Remnant 2 review, and I’ve personally been an ambassador for this thing since day one. It’s a multiversal romp with some weird builds and creepy monsters to shoot, and it’s also received some really solid post-launch support. Now you can play…

Critical Role’s D&D dungeon master Matthew Mercer would love to make a videogame ‘should all those stars align’, though I think it’s a little more likely than that
Critical Role is pretty much the biggest livestreamed D&D campaign, by sheer popularity and volume alone. Starting halfway through the group’s home game in 2015, to call the game’s rise to popularity ‘meteoric’ is an understatement. It’s gone from an experiment by Geek & Sundry to its own enterprise with heaps of merch, a charity…

Thanks to the meta, one of the most busted cards in TCG Disney Lorcana is Hiram Flaversham—and if you have no idea who that is, you’re in good company
Disney Lorcana’s sure been interesting to follow. Aside from the big, dramatic lawsuit where the words “the legal equivalent of alchemy” were used in a courtroom, it’s also picked up some pretty good steam as a competitive card game. Which shouldn’t be a surprise, really: When you see an Elsa card going up on eBay…

Comedy TV show Taskmaster is getting its own VR game, and I can’t stop thinking about how Greg Davies looks like he should be a tank hero in Overwatch 2
I suppose it was only a matter of time before Taskmaster got its own VR game. The game show, in case you’re unfamiliar with it, is about giving celebrities and comedians increasingly absurd tasks to fulfil—with very few clues on how to get those tasks done. Similarly, a lot of great VR games offer an…

Silent Hill: Ascension’s terrible Jam Man (who likes to make jams) was not written by AI, says Genvid CEO: ‘every word in Ascension was written by real people’
Have you heard of the Jam Man of Silent Hill: Ascension? You’re about to. In the third episode of what started out as a potentially interesting experiment and has quickly snowballed into a complete disaster, Karl Johansen (a Norwegian farmer) runs into the Jam Man. I’m just going to let this clip shared by VoidBurger…

Self-hosted media app starts narcing on its own users’ anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it’s going terribly
There comes a time in every app, website, or even game’s life where it works about as well as it should. Unfortunately, due to the way society is, the question then asked is: ‘how do we make more money?’ We’ve all seen it. Weird bells and whistles added to perfectly functioning services that take away…

Baldur’s Gate 3’s next patch will fix the game thinking so hard about your crimes it breaks the fabric of existence
Baldur’s Gate 3‘s next major patch is on its way—scheduled to release this week, according to Larian Studios’ director of publishing, Michael Douse. Announced in a Twitter post yesterday, Douse reassures players: “we caught the nasty bug causing slowdowns and the good news is: it’s fixed in Patch 5!” For context, Patch 4 tackled a…

Silent Hill 2 remake devs try to calm down fans, saying (for the second time) that it’s on Konami to share anything: ‘we kindly ask for a bit more patience’
In October of last year, a remake of Silent Hill 2 was announced. It’s been over a year since, and news of how the project’s coming along has been as quiet and as foggy as the titular town of Silent Hill itself. These development draw-distance blues came to a head on Twitter last week when…

Remnant 2 player gets punished with eternal torment upon the spike after drawing with a DLC boss
Remnant 2’s latest DLC The Awakened King is a good time. I recently blasted through its six-hour long one-shot campaign as a glass cannon Gunslinger/Hunter build who folded in two the moment anything so much as breathed on me. One boss, however, doesn’t care much for your health or damage resistance. Bruin, Blade of the…

Modern Warfare 3’s latest exploit is wriggling around on the floor as a snake going mach one
What is it about the Modern Warfare games producing the most cursed-looking movement glitches, lately? There was the horrifying “G walk” in MW2, which looked like your character was breaking out an all fours to tear into someone’s jugular, and this ‘Superman’ glitch from the same year that made you look like a Hunter from…
