[embedded content] If you play Apex Legends, then you know Pathfinder. He’s a high-mobility character with incredibly cheery voice lines. Even when he obliterates entire teams, it’s hard to get mad at the lovable oaf. Despite being one of the game’s most popular personalities, Respawn has never released an official backstory description for him. Based

We’ve told you what we think are the best PC games of 2020 (well, as many as we could fit), but what about cold, hard business? For folks who want metrics and money, Valve have revealed the best-selling games on Steam of 2020. They’re a bit vague about it, mind. Valve avoid giving numbers or

Yakuza is a longstanding franchise that has always featured Kazuma Kiryu front and center, but Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio decided to take an entirely different approach to the future of the franchise with a new hero.

Cyberpunk 2077‘s creators evidently had high hopes for their sprawling Keanu-toting RPG. But with the game lander rougher (read: buggier) than expected, CD Projekt executives have reportedly chosen to rethink their bonus structure, promising to pay developers their full share of their bonuses regardless of how well Cyberpunk reviews – even if, y’know, gating employee

Earlier this week, I opened up about how one of the more dangerous aspects in the game – the braindance sequences – was incidentally designed in a way that medical professionals use to trigger seizures for diagnostic purposes. That design caused me a grand mal seizure, which inspired me to write a small guide about

What fresh hell is this? Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. There’s a bit in The Evil Within 2 where you walk into a large residential area with lots of houses, garages and shops to explore. Up until this point the game

The Game Awards kick off next week and with it comes the celebration of our favorite titles of the year as well as a few surprises for fans to enjoy.

Have you played The Witcher? Not the massively popular third one, mind, but CD Projekt’s 2008 series-starter. It’s a little uglier, a little jankier, and Geralt’s face doesn’t look quite so dashing.
