https://youtu.be/kkRsXN34Yk0 Time to go goblin mode. Earlier this week, Orc Chop Games announced a new turn-based RPG roguelike, Goblin Stone. Having spent a not-insignificant portion of my life battling the little blighters, I’m happy to say that instead of farming them for XP or taking their treasure, this time around we’ll be playing as the goblins. It's …

https://youtu.be/4ndc3lXlsd8 The final beta for the 5v5 shooter Veiled Experts kicks off at midnight tonight.

At least the HBO show has zero shaders to compile. The Last of Us Part 1 isn't immune to the shader plague that causes many PC games to stutter and crash. Sony's latest PC port chugs on all sorts of hardware, regardless of the game's modest system requirements. Players report stuttering, frame rate inconsistency, and frequent crashes. …

Valve advises CS:GO players not to idle on matchmaking servers hoping for a golden ticket. The thought crossed my mind, too: I didn't get into the Counter-Strike 2 limited test, but what if I jump into CS:GO for a few nights, boost my playtime, and see if Valve's light shines bright on me? As Valve detailed last …
https://youtu.be/ZOcY7k1plS8 Operation Sapphire Jackal, Company of Heroes 3's first "major" update, is out today. Relic has outlined what you can expect from the patch, including the ability to earn Merits that will allow you to unlock a variety of cosmetics from the in-game store, gussying up your troops. The highlight of the update is the …
I'd buy that for a dollar, but Phil Spencer won't let me. Bad news, everyone: We'll no longer be able to live high on the hog of Microsoft's largesse. The Verge reports that the company is terminating its long-lived—and very persuasive—$1 Game Pass Ultimate trial, which gave you a month's access to the 100+ games in the …

My Steam Deck loads my Epic Games library faster than my powerful PC, and it's thanks to the Heroic Games Launcher. The Epic Games Launcher isn't great at dealing with large game libraries. Images take a while to pop in, the library only loads when you scroll past a certain point, and it's difficult to …
I'm not proud of falling for the copycat, but this is where the lack of Bloodborne on PC has led me. There are soulslikes that copy the difficulty of Dark Souls, or the corpse runs or the forlorn fantasy worlds. A lot of them copy all of the above. But the fonts? That's a level of shameless …

Multiversus is going offline in June and won't be back until sometime in early 2024, and the reason is very strange: Warner Bros. Games says the game was never actually released but only in open beta. The Smash Bros.-style fighting game features characters from the DC Universe like Batman and Wonder Woman, from Cartoon Network shows …
Get a head start on a big download. The Last of Us Part 1 finally comes to PC tomorrow, and if you've pre-purchased the game and want to jump at the moment the light goes green, you can start preloading it on Steam right now. It's probably not a bad idea to get an early start …
