Being a pope is a stressful job. That's true today, but imagine heading up the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th century. Back then, the leader of the Catholic Church didn't have access to a bubble car or a social media team. The good news is, when Crusader Kings 3's next…

Warlock is a game that intrigues me, taking a different approach to telling a tale in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Instead of turn-based battles, or even top-down action RPG battling, this goes much closer to try and translate it into an open world action game. Kaatri is…

It's finally here! The preview for that extended look at a crime sim currently without a PC release date! GTA 6, or in the immortal words of Jack Nance, "Grand Theft Auto" [6]. After a long drought of anything actual concrete, we've now been flooded with details, like how it's…

Well, would you look at that, GTA 6 is a real video game! I'm sure by the time you're reading this you've either watched the Netflix preview, watched someone else watch the Netflix preview, or it's late enough that the full thing is available for the non-Netflix having…

I've watched it. The extended look at the game humanity's breath is currently held for. The one that doesn't have a PC release date right now, making it hard to know how to feel about covering it extensively if, say, your job revolves around writing about PC games. For today,…

The issue I have is, if you put a charming and slightly rotund biplane (or similar such vehicle) in a game, I'm just simply going to have to take a look at it at minimum. At minimum! Porco Rosso is my favourite of Hayao Miyazaki's outings, after all, in no small part thanks to…

We all know when GTA 6 is releasing because there are zero games releasing in November apart from it. Or, that would be true, if Devolver Digital weren't the miscreants they love to be. They've been saying for a while now that they'll be releasing a game come hell or highwater,…

Infamously simulation-heavy colony builder Dwarf Fortress is getting a Myth and Magic update that, at the possible risk of being maybe a touch hyperbolic, threatens to make all other fantasy game spellcraft look like a sleepy bout of Got Your Nose. It's summarised by Bay12…

After an entire decade without a proper new Silent Hill game, in the past three years we've had two completely new games (one of which was pretty damn good if you ask me), one remake, whatever Ascension was meant to be, and the laughably bad new film. A mixed bunch, to be sure,…

With The Expanse: Osiris Reborn proving lacklustre in the hands, I'd say Archetype's time-dilating space RPG Exodus is currently closest to the much-coveted status of unofficial Mass Effect 5. The developers have dropped a release date - 7th April 2027 – alongside a new…

What's that coming through the hiss and crackle of static? It's a transmission from the Gamescom zone, where a trio of RPS survivalists are fighting to stay alive amid all manner of hazards. You don't want to know the things they've told us about the loos. One of them, James,…

When I sat down to play Road Kings in April, the event organisers were very clear: when you're done driving around in the sandbox, let us know and we will load up the disaster movie scene. After fifty minutes of my hour with Saber's spin on American Truck Simulator, I'd…

As revealed earlier this week alongside a look at next year's Songs of the Past expansion, The Witcher 3 is getting a free remastered update next month. As with 2022's next-gen update, some of its tweaks and additions are the work of modders, with the creator of The Witcher 3's…

If you think the protagonists of Grand Theft Auto 6 look dull as piping hot ditchwater then rejoice, friend, for the game will let you transform these gung-ho sex magnets into weary and despairing zombies, tottering along the shore of Leonida with eyes like sandy latrines and…

This week we got our first proper look at Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, Wizard of the Coast's new RPG-tinted action game. In theory, it's the story of a grizzled weapon master who is searching a lawless pocket dimension for somebody precious to her, but I disapprove massively of…

Sophia is a fan favourite from A Plague Tale: Requiem, a key ally of Amicia and Hugo on their perilous journey. But before becoming the famous Sea Scorpion, Sophia had her own adventures that pulled her into a world of darkness. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes place 15…

For a series about light and dark, it's appropriate that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a spinoff that's trying to escape the main entries' shadow. Developer Asobo Studio have dropped much that is familiar to explore exactly what a Plague Tale story can be. Resonance doesn't…

Since the persistent rumours of a cheeky extra DLC for The Witcher 3 turned into confirmation from CD Projekt Red that such a thing is on the way prior to The Witcher 4, there's been a nagging voice in the back of my mind. On one hand, Songs of the Past is more of an RPG I love,…
