Imperator: Rome is getting proper story campaigns – and elephant husbandry logistics
When Imperator: Rome was released in April this year, I really enjoyed it. My colleague Ghoastus absolutely loved it. To be honest, both of us were happy with it as it was. Nevertheless, in response to a good deal of player roaring on launch, Paradox have been working hell for leather to rebuild whole sections of the game, and after two big free patches, we're…
Feature: Yeah, science!
Having weapons is cool and all, but The Outer Worlds also has some hidden science weapons that are worth seeking out. They're the most unique weapons in the game, capable of shrinking foes, or making them fight each other.
Feature: Country roads will now be gravel, unless you have the tarmac upgrade for £1.99/month
Fallout 76 players have a decidedly mixed response to the Fallout 1st subscription
At the heart of Fallout 76, there’s always been friction between what people wanted it to be, and what it actually is. To begin with, this manifested as an apprehension over whether an online Fallout game was the right move for the series. Over time, it grew into other concerns about the game’s business model and Bethesda’s perceived mismanagement of the Atomic Shop. Now, Bethesda…
Feature: Let us play
Castle Shotgun has been ringing with the sound of spells, explosions, and squelching purple monsters thank to the chaotic mountain-delving nightmare that is Noita It is, of course, a game that we Can't Stop Playing this month. It's also a roguelike. You get one save, and once you're dead, that's it and you start again from the beginning with a new level. Well, you do.…
Feature: Oh god my hands
I am truly a masochist for deciding to write about Defend Your Castle. I mean, who on earth would willingly subject themselves to the task of typing an article, when their fingers and wrists have been mangled beyond repair in just five minutes spent reacclimating to this diabolical browser-based Flash game? This harbinger of repetitive strain injuries? This annihilator of tendons and ligaments and souls?…
Feature: More powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is a game so nice, they used its name twice. Not to be confused with the DICE-developed (and still growing) Battlefield-esque shooter, the Pandemic-developed original incarnation is still considered the pinnacle of pick-up-and-play Star Wars fun by many. A messy team laser-fight with a slew of game modes for both solo or online play. But with Pandemic's demise sinking fan's hopes…
Feature: Find all five ID cartridges here!
The Outer Worlds Holographic disguises – ID cartridge locations
Sometimes stealth is the answer for completing a quest in The Outer Worlds, but how do you get around without being seen? Sneaking behind boxes can only go so far and in space, cardboard boxes and cheaply made disguises won't cut it. You'll need the highly experimental holographic shroud.
Feature: You won't feel a thing
The Schwarzschild radius of the Steam Charts continues to shrink as the effects of the Universal Collapse take greater impact on our daily lives. Read on if you want to know how to protect your family from complete atomic devastation.
Feature: Too many popes
Although we won’t be able to play Crusader Kings 3 until next year, last weekend I got to try the next best thing - a massive game of Crusader Kings 2 without a single PC involved. As part of the celebrations at PDXcon, Paradox turned the interior of the Nalepastrasse radio station (formerly the broadcast hub for communist East Germany) into a vast map of…
Feature: Single precision
Put down your fidget spinners, all you people who use fidget spinners. If you want something to do while you're doing something else, there's very little better than Floating Point - a simple free-to-play game on Steam about grappling and swinging around constellations of floating blocks. It's by Tom Francis, the creator of other excellent games such as Gunpoint, Heat Signature, and Morphblade - but…

Sundays are for (indoor) seaside board games. Brighton, you are good. Here's the best writing about videogames from the past week. For Gamasutra, Wilmot's Warehouse co-creator Richard Hogg wrote up an insightful and introspective analysis of his game. It's a deep and wide-ranging look at both how it came to be and why people like it so much, and him quoting Nate's review is just…

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne – PC release date confirmed, free update monsters
We now know when Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will be coming to PC and I'll be honest, it's a little earlier than I was expecting it to be. A post-holiday treat if you will, to tie us over until more big releases grace our screens. Here's everything you need to know about Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on PC.
Feature: Scare away with Priceless Play
I know that Southern California is straight out of a horror movie because right now, this sliver of The Golden State is on fire. It's not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. I've seen ash rain from the sky, I've seen the sky turn ruddy browns in the middle of the day, and sometimes I think the very air is squeezing…
Feature: Out of this world
The Outer Worlds PC requirements and how to get the best performance
The time to take a trip to The Outer Worlds has finally arrived. Not to be confused with the Outer Wilds, you understand. Oh no, that's a different space shuttle bus altogether. The Outer Worlds is Obsidian's new intergalactic RPG, the folks wot made Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity, and I've been taking a look at how well it runs on PC. The…
Feature: Celebrate an extremely ordinary week
There's a coat in a window on my way home and I want it. Or possibly a blazer, I was in a hurry. It is purple and the shop had put a sign saying "VAMPIRE" over it, but I don't need to use the cover of the worst holiday as an excuse. Which reminds me: when did we agree that Halloween was an entire bloody…
Feature: Beginner's tips and advanced tactics galore!
The Outer Worlds, while not the largest RPG we've ever seen, has a great deal of stuff to explore and experiment with at pretty much every stage of the game. From the first moments (or in my case, half-hour) of character creation to the many different quests, enemy types, combat mechanics, stories, and interconnected systems you'll encounter throughout your travels, there's an awful lot more…
Feature: Get the jump on your enemies with TTD!
The Outer Worlds TTD debuffs – how to use Tactical Time Dilation
The Outer Worlds is not as large as a certain game of similar ilk, but inside the small package is a great deal of things to discover. One thing you should get the hang of very quickly is how to use the Tactical Time Dilation, or TTD for short. But how do you use it and what are the debuffs?
Feature: Existence precedes disco
How Disco Elysium’s opening sets the stage for existential revolt
Existentialism. A word with baggage, and about it. Philosophers have deployed it to cover many different things, but they're all concerned with the baggage of being alive. The urgent dilemma of existence, as beings without apparent purpose. The concept fascinates me. It's what I get up for in the morning. Based on the opening minutes of detective RPG Disco Elysium, so does ZA/UM. It's clear…
Feature: Cheap games, games, games and more games
It's all about the spoooOOooOooOOooky gaming deals this week, you deals fiends, because this is the last weekend before we commence that most respected and hallowed of evening festivities where we stuff ourselves silly with sweets until our tummies burst in a spectacle of horror and gore. At least I think that's what Halloween is about, anyway. Your deals herald is too much of a…
Feature:
The latest patch for Teamfight Tactics didn't change a lot, but there is a bit of a resurgence of the Yordles Shapeshifters comp. So to that end, we thought we'd start again with the TFT best comps list for the current patch - 9.21.
