If you told me a year ago that a character from a Baldur’s Gate game would have an officially-sanctioned crossover with a major wrestling event, I’d have given you the blankest of stares. But, here we are—Karlach from Baldur’s Gate 3, everyone’s favourite mammoth tiefling lady, has made an appearance in the Ring of Honour.…

Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale, D&D’s crossover with Lego, is now available. As I mentioned back when further details were announced, however, the full set’s a smidge pricey at $360.  In fairness you’re getting 3,745 bits of Lego for your buck—but still, it’s a dragon’s ransom unless you’re a hobbyist. Fortunately, you don’t actually…

If you’ve been playing Helldivers 2, chances are you’ve probably been booted to your desktop after extracting—I sure have. Typically, this bug causes a premature return to civilian life at the end of a mission, which is extra frustrating since they tend to take over half an hour to complete. At least, if you’re as…

Dragon’s Dogma 2, like its predecessor, handles parties in a cool and novel way—through its “pawns” system. Basically, there are soulless people-shaped adventurers you can summon from beyond the rift, often created by other players. You get a main pawn that you get to customise, while your remaining two party slots are filled out by…

It’s not a surprise that I’ve enjoyed what I’ve played of Beat Slayer so far. I like roguelikes, I like action games—and while I’m not much of a rhythm fiend, I adored Hi-Fi Rush. After taking Beat Slayer’s demo for a whirl, I’m already impressed, even if it doesn’t quite fire on all cylinders. You…

WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery has been a chaotic, but overall impressive experiment, all told. While it’s had its speed bumps when it comes to grappling with older server tech and designing its world PvP, it’s also got that harebrained vibe usually reserved for private servers and the like. Tanking rogues, healing mages—spaghetti is meeting…

The war against the bots has been going shockingly well in Helldivers 2, despite the best efforts of the Automaton scourge. Gunships and giant walkers have barely stopped the march of liberty from rolling over the machine worlds—there was a minor speedbump via the major order to free Tibit, but things have been going great…

Palworld’s had its first big update in the oven for a while now, promising brick numero uno in its endgame structure via a raid boss, Bellanoir. Well, she’s here now, and she has not one but two flavours of dunking on your squad. As the patch notes themselves read, Bellanoir can be called forth by…

Lilith Walther, the genius behind that excellent Bloodborne PS1 demake, has been hard at work making Bloodborne—sorry, Nightmare Kart, changing the name after a letter from Sony.  The whole fiasco, which forced Walther to remake the game’s shockingly large cast of Bloodborne characters, delayed the whole thing considerably since it was meant to arrive in…
