We got our first look at Where Winds Meet when it was revealed at Gamescom in 2022, shortly after which executive editor Tyler Wilde said he was particularly looking forward to getting a real job in its “wuxia-style Assassin’s Creed” open world. (Hey, to each their own.) Later this month he’ll have his first shot…

I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect going into a closed door, hands-off demo for MechWarrior 5: Clans at GDC, but then Piranha Games CEO Russ Bullock pulled out from a standard, third-person view of his mech to an RTS-style overview of the map, queueing up commands for his squad…

In 2020, former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw joined with Ubisoft veterans Jeff Skalski, Frédéric St-Laurent B, and Thomas Giroux to launch a new studio called Yellow Brick Games. Today, three and a half years later, they’ve finally revealed what they’re getting up to: A new action-adventure called Eternal Strands. Eternal Strands follows the…

If you’ve ever thought to yourself that what you’d really like is a turn-based tactics take on Left 4 Dead, the upcoming Dead Season might be just the thing.

Following today’s triumphant victory at Malevelon Creek, Helldivers players are making alarming discoveries on Automaton planets.

It’s a way of rewarding outlaw behavior, with Crime specifically defined as using your spells or abilities to directly target an opponent, anything they control, or even their discards. When you do so, that’s called…

As We Descend, a pretty stylish-looking upcoming deckbuilder from new studio Box Dragon, will be published by Coffee Stain, the same folks publishing hits like Valheim and Deep Rock Galactic. Describing itself as a “roguelike deckbuilder with the soul of a strategy game,” As We Descend has a nice aesthetic that seems to blend magic…

A naked man with a face covering its torso. A snail with a human head. And one that’s half-nun and half…I don’t know what. In my office I have a wall hanging of the carta marina: a big map of the Nordic countries drawn in the 16th century. I love it because you can peer…

I wasn’t expecting much from the new Elgato Facecam MK.2. It’s apparently not really a sequel, and will just go on to replace the existing Facecam we loved so well. It’s also a bit cheaper than the original cam launched at: The new one is starting at $150 while the MK.1 came out at $200.…

It took an entire hour for Visions of Mana to click with me. I’ve poured a lot of time into Square Enix action RPGs lately. Between Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and even 2020’s Trials of Mana, I expected Visions of Mana to play similarly when I demoed it this month. Yet what…
