The Witcher 3’s Modding Toolkit is Being Playtested

A lot of games have in recent years adopted an in-game solution to modding or similar ways of adding to the gameplay. We’ve seen it with the Creation Club for Skyrim and Fallout 4, Ready or Not has an in-game library of mods, and the questionable Cities: Skylines…

Broken Roads (PC) Review

Set in Western Australia, Drop Bear Bytes’ Broken Roads is a classic-inspired RPG that I’ve had my eye on for a while. Aiming to focus on a philosophical basis, you and the rag-tag group of cardboard cutouts explore the wasteland of OZ after…

Ghostrunner is Free on Epic

Monday, Gigantic: Rampage sees the return of the indie MOBA, and Mega Man is heading to Exoprimal. Tuesday, Sheba: A New Dawn is out now. Wednesday, Ermac is like Santa, coming to Mortal Kombat 1, and SEGA has dubbed it the Year of Shadow. There aren’t enough anti-depressants to save me…

Star Trek: Picard “The Impossible Box” – Review

If his name isn’t Narek by his own admission, it must be Evil Spock. After last week’s piece of terrible Star Trek, which I’m still reserved to even call it that, “The Impossible Box” has editor Nick Zayas helming the story that…

SEGA Declares it Year of Shadow

Oh sweet baby Jesus, do we really need to go back to 2005 and listen to My Chemical Romance? Despite Nintendo declaring it to be the year of Luigi, Sega is firing up the old rivalry by declaring that it is the Year…

Children of the Sun (PC) Review

René Rother’s Children of the Sun is what would happen if the 2015 title Hatred had an actual point beyond listening to too much My Chemical Romance. Being a Devolver Digital published title, you don’t have to look at the Steam page to know that…

Prime Gaming – April 2024

Tuesday, SolForge Fusion is coming to Steam later this month, Hauma is coming to the Switch this summer, and details on Smiling Friends season two have been revealed. Wednesday, Saviorless is now out, making it the first Cuban…

Star Trek: Picard “Stardust City Rag” – Review

Yippie, garish costume design by drugs fired out of a shotgun. The first episode not to be written by Chabon, “Stardust City Rag” is written by Kirsten Beyer, and she’s only ever written for Star Trek, though sadly that also means she’s a…

1.0 Release Announced for Instruments of Destruction

It was only at the last Winter sales that I bothered to pick up the Re-Mars-tered edition of Red Faction: Guerrilla. I haven’t played it yet, as I had reviews and Baldur’s Gate 3-based smooching to be getting on with, but my PS3 edition of Red Faction:…
