It’s a phenomenal character action game, as deep and rewarding to master as it is flat-out ridiculous. The point is, if Devil May Cry 5 was the only Japanese action game that came out this month, it’d still be the best month for the genre in years. December 2003, Japan: This month an incredibly rare three character action games came out at once, but only in Japan. Kratos’s blades made for lengthy and brutal combos and the setpieces were epic in a way action games hadn’t been before. Unfortunatel

The Borderlands “Mask of Mayhem” teaser was filled with references, Easter eggs, and other half-hidden bits of information. Would we expect any less from the full Borderlands 3 reveal trailer? Watch the trailer closely and you’ll see, at 1:40, a number of tall, neon-lit skyscrapers, one of which bears the number “01.” And, maybe most convincing, the first Borderlands released in October 2009, and releasing Borderlands 3 on the tenth anniversary of the original would be a nice touch.

If you have a PC in your living room, or you just need a compact keyboard and mouse combo, Logitech’s K400 series has always been a great option. For the rest of today, or whenever stock runs out, the K400 Plus is just $17.98 from Amazon. The K400 Plus is a small wireless keyboard, with a 3.5-inch touchpad on the right side. It has a wireless range of roughly 10 meters (33 feet), and it uses Logitech’s Unifying USB receiver. The major downsides to the K400 Plus are the lack of backlighting and t

Those are all words that you can’t use to describe the PC Gamer UK Podcast, because it is back and strong like a man who is very good at competitively pulling trucks a short distance. We’ve forgotten how to podcast, and we’ve forgotten how to write podcast descriptions. Discussed: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Anthem, The Division 2, Destiny 2, Google Stadia, The Epic Store.

It’s a simple way of doing things, and now NZXT is taking a similar approach to streaming with specialized packages. Like building a PC, for someone who is inexperienced, picking out the right streaming gear might seem daunting. The Premium bundle costs considerably more at $1,099.99 for the streaming gear alone, or $3,597.91 with a PC. As for the PC in both bundles (if opting for the full package), you can purchase it without the streaming gear for $2,498.91. Offering streaming bundles seems li

The best gaming laptops have one thing in common—a discrete GPU. Typically that’s not something you find in the budget space, though Acer is selling a its Nitro 5 laptop with a Radeon RX 560X tucked inside for only $429.99 today. This is a recertified machine, but it’s coming direct from Acer (through Ebay) rather than a third-party seller. This is a 1080p machine with a Ryzen 5 2500U processor, 8GB of RAM, RX 560X GPU, and 1TB hard drive, with Windows 10 Home. It’s not going to set any benchmar

The next Divinity game, though it features a lot of returning Original Sin 2 characters, isn’t a freewheeling, sandboxy RPG. Divinity: Fallen Heroes is a tactics game, but it retains a lot of RPG sensibilities, including being driven by a story with plenty of choices and consequences. It’s going to be just as important here as it was in Original Sin 2. “And from this, Fallen Heroes was born.” If you don’t know anything about the Original Sin series or Divinity and just want to play a new tactics

“So now they’re much more convinced that they were right the whole time and you’re all evil,” Przybylski said. “There is going to be a lot of really dumb regulations coming down the pipe. Depending on the patchwork of markets and regulations, in some places more aggressive regulators are going to fragment the market. He believes that the best long-term approach for the industry is to work proactively on being “a responsible citizen and designers of playgrounds for children.” “I think you need to

When Paradox Interactive acquired White Wolf, hope of a Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines sequel surged again, including at Hardsuit Labs. ‘,”Andy Kipling, CEO of Hardsuit Labs, tells us. A meeting was arranged, but Paradox wasn’t expecting this to be the start of a new game. “I went into that first Skype meeting with them expecting to watch a burial,” says Florian Schwarzer, product manager at Paradox Interactive. “This was very much Hardsuit Labs taking a tremendous risk and getting us to the

Wargaming is promising that World of Tanks will be bullshit-free on April 1, though it’s still got plans. Players will optionally get to take a trip back to the game as it was in 2011 with World of Tanks Classic. World of Tanks has had countless updates and a massive overhaul since 2011, so expect things to be pretty different. If you play, you’ll also earn a unique style with an inscription and emblem. You can download World of Tanks Classic now and play until April 3.

Ultrawide monitors have their place among the best gaming monitors pantheon in PC gaming. This new offering from Asus is a beast, claiming to include loads of gaming monitor benefits that are seamlessly integrated into its 49-inch, 32:9 display. Then, in terms of the speediness gaming monitors require, the XG49VQ offers FreeSync 2, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a response time of 4ms. It also has speakers, but no-one really buys gaming monitors for the speakers. However, again, I had to compromise o

My time in Outward, Nine Dot Studios’ sandbox RPG, has been full of entertaining disasters. Outward has local split-screen and online co-op, but for a lot of players, attempts to play online ended in frustration and failure. Last night I spent the entire time troubleshooting our inability to play together, but every attempt to find a game came up empty. The issue was exacerbated by the online co-op system being as barebones as it gets. It took them a few tries, but eventually they were able to p

Ubisoft has confirmed it’ll be returning to E3 in 2019, with its conference beginning on June 10th at 1PM PT. I predict Watch Dogs 3 will be announced, which is rumoured to be set in London (and, I imagine if that’s true, minus any Brexit commentary whatsoever). I also think we’ll see a completely new game, probably intended for next-gen consoles and PC, that’ll be miles off but get everyone talking in the vein of the original Watch Dogs reveal. With Sony skipping E3 this year after the triumpha

Whispers of a Machine is Nordic noir sci-fi adventure set in a post-AI world with cybernetically enhanced cops, including protagonist and special agent Vera. Being a cyber cop, Vera’s got a few sci-fi tricks up her sleeve thanks to some fancy nano juice called Blue. Though it seems more overtly gloomy than Technobabylon’s dystopia-masquerading as-a-utopia, I was still immediately reminded of Wadjet Eye’s sci-fi thriller. It turns out that Wadjet Eye’s Dave Gilbert is involved, too, directing the

Divinity: Fallen Heroes is a tactical game with more than a few RPG trappings, set after the events of our 2017 GOTY Divinity: Original Sin 2. Divinity: Original Sin 2 was great overall—take a look at my review—but the tactical combat really stole the show. The greater focus on tactics in Divinity: Fallen Heroes doesn’t mean there won’t still be a story full of choice, consequences and other elements drawn from the RPGs. It’s a “tactical game with all the depth of an RPG,” says Larian, which is

Enter the Gungeon launched three years ago on April 5, and to mark the occasion, it’s getting one last update so it can go out with a bang. A Farewell to Arms will arrive on the anniversary, introducing two new characters, another floor, a new boss and more. The Paradox is a randomised Gungeoneer, while the Gunslinger begins the game with a wild starting item. They’ll be accompanied by dozens of new guns and items, along with a new secret floor and, at the end, a new boss waiting to be filled wi

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is inviting everyone to mow down fascists with a friend this summer. The co-op spin-off from Machine Games and Arkane Studios will be tearing through the Reich on July 26 on PC. They can download the game and play with you, and also choose to upgrade so they can play alone or with other friends. There’s always that risk when you buy a new co-op game that your buddies won’t follow you, so it’s a great idea that I wish was standard with co-op games. If you’re not up to spee

Gearbox has released a teaser trailer for a new Borderlands game today, which it is noticeably not calling Borderlands 3, even though we can probably speculate that’s what it is. There’s a lot of familiar faces, however, trapped in the titular Mask of Mayhem. Now, I’m not saying Borderlands 3, or whatever this is, will be full of pirates and nautical adventures, but I certainly wouldn’t complain. Gearbox teased the date earlier this month, so we’ve been expecting a Borderlands 3 announcement. Th

Square Enix released an unexpected patch for Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster earlier this month, announcing that some minor bugs had been fixed. Players reported they couldn’t play offline, and some speculated that always-online DRM had been slipped into the years-old game. But there was no mention of the change from Square Enix, nor did it seem to make much sense, adding something like this three years after the game launched. “We are aware of an issue which affected the ability to play Final F
