  • The nearly 25-year-old Doom 2 has taken to draining the youth from newer games to fuel its apparent immortality. What you’re getting here is a single short, sweet but highly explorable level that apes the style of Eidos’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution. For those smitten by the look of Diablous Ex, Arvell also kindly provides Diablous Ex’s texture file for public use on the map’s Doomworld release thread. A real treat if you know your way around a Doom level editor. To play Diabolus Ex, you’ll need t

  • After six years in Early Access and a split into three games, Carbon Games’s transforming robot action-RTS AirMech now boasts a (mostly) complete solo and co-op campaign, now known as AirMech Wastelands. While technically still considered a beta, it officially left Early Access this week. Originally hitting Early Access in 2012, indie developer Carbon Games’s ambitions for AirMech necessitated a recent split, with the more balanced and competitive PvP side of the game becoming the free-to-play A

  • Studio Trigger’s infamously over-the-top anime series Kill la Kill is finally getting a fighting game adaptation, and it will be landing on PC sometime in 2019. Kill La Kill the Game: IF (to give its full triple-barrelled title) is a one-on-one 3D arena fighting game, not entirely dissimilar to Bandai Namco’s Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series. Kill la Kill was a raunchy and anarchic action/comedy anime series that started in late 2013, following the adventures of rowdy teenage swordswoman Ryuk

  • Warframe has some of the most fluid and fun movement out of any shooter I’ve ever played. I said as much in my review, but Digital Extremes is taking things in a decidedly more radical direction with the addition of ‘Bondi K-Drive’ hoverboards. But who am I kidding, the real draw is that you can do tricks on these bad boys. Now, Warframe veterans will know that the Archwing jetpack is the defacto method for travelling Warframe’s open worlds. You can also watch the full presentation from Tennocon

  • Called Codename: Railjack, it’s an entirely new game mode where players explore and fight in space from the comfort of their own battlecruiser. Similar to FTL, players can also divert energy to different systems like powering up thrusters to increase speed and maneuverability. During an interview, Sinclair did confirm that these ships would feature a progression system similar to most everything else in Warframe. This update “takes Warframe down a totally uncharted path,” reads a press release I

  • Last year Plains of Eidolon ditched all of that, taking Warframe’s kinetic sword and shotgun combat into wide open spaces. Orb Vallis is a stunning alien landscape covered in a light sprinkling of snow, giant mushrooms, sea-like flora, and towering robot bugs that clamber over its mountains (yes, they will attack you). It’s five times as big as Plains of Eidolon (which was about 5 square kilometers) and already feels much livelier. Orb Vallis is the central addition to Warframe’s Fortuna expansi

  • Most of us know security is important, but still choose the lazy option when it comes to password security. There’s been a host of research on password security, made much easier by the huge number of database breaches in recent years. The name LastPass comes from the fact that your LastPass account password will be the last password you need to remember; it’ll take care of all the rest. Or if you forget the password, LastPass can’t restore your master password, as it is never sent it in the fir

  • The Witcher 4 should move its focus away from Geralt and concentrate on Ciri, says Geralt’s voice actor. He was then asked if he thought Geralt’s cameo in SoulCalibur VI would be the last time the actor would reprise Geralt, particularly as CD Projekt RED has been clear that Geralt’s arc was unlikely to stretch beyond the trilogy. If I was CD Projekt Red, I would make The Witcher 4, but I would be focusing on Ciri.” “In The Witcher 3 she hints at visiting other worlds, and I think a game around

  • Bungie is staggering the roll-out of Destiny 2 ‘s prestige lairs to give clans an equal chance to race through each one and claim the “World’s First” accolade. In Bungie’s latest This Week at Bungie update, the team “took some time to set expectations” regarding the new raid lairs. “Based on player feedback—and to ensure each World’s First race has a clean start—we’re changing the release times of each activity. Spire of Stars has been delayed 24 hours to offset the activity releases.” This mean

  • While Valve was quick to fix a hole in its API that allowed access to data about the games sold on its the digital platform, Steam, it wasn’t quite quick enough to stop Steam Spy creator Sergey Galyonkin extracting enough data to formulate a list of Steam’s 1000 most-played games. Unlike the list Steam revealed a few days ago which confirmed the best selling games of 2018 so far, Galyonkin was able to gather information on the most played games before access to achievement tracking was shuttered

All the tweaks and improvements for the latest patch—snappily entitled patch 102943/18618—have been detailed on Steam by community manager, Natascha. “The game is TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE”, says one commenter. all what u did is bring us more bugs and make this game unplayable!” We gave Conan Exiles a 65 in our review, stating it is: “Broad in shoulder, wide in scope, rough around the edges.

  • A long time ago, this was one of several random events concocted as a way to deal with the multitude of bots that set up shop in Old School RuneScape, back when it was just plain RuneScape. Old School RuneScape was originally created to be a copy of the game as it was in 2007—an exact replica designed to entice nostalgic adventurers. That’s one of the main differences between Old School and RuneScape 3. None of this is to say that Jagex will never add an area told Old School unless it’s already

  • It can feel a little bit like having a job, even when it’s a game you otherwise love playing. Has a game ever felt like it’s become a job to you? So, after catching myself spending a whole evening crafting low-level items to get my synthweaving skill up, I realised I was basically doing a job. Almost every time I do a marathon performance analysis article, I feel like I ruin the game in question. This may end up being the first weekend question that’s actually talked me out of playing a game.

  • Andy Kelly: Lucky dipSometimes the sheer wealth of games available to play on PC is overwhelming. Trying to keep on top of them all, even for someone who writes about PC games for a living, is basically an impossible task. Friday Fortnite is a weekly tournament featuring professional Fortnite players and streamers. But without 100 participants available each week, the competition leverages the unique talent of most popular Fortnite players: obliterating average Joes/Janes for a hungry audience.

  • Galaxy in Turmoil was originally intended as a revival of the canceled Free Radical shooter Star Wars: Battlefront 3. But it bounced back a few months later by ditching all the Star Wars trappings and proceeding as a Battlefront-like, but not Battlefront-actual, game. The demo promised for the fall of 2017 by developer Frontwire Studios did not materialize, but work has continued and today the developers shared a very short clip of pre-alpha gameplay on Reddit. But the in-space flight and the th

  • Stonehearth , Radiant Entertainment’s ant farm-esque city builder, was successfully Kickstarted in May 2013. Radiant Entertainment announced today that development on Stonehearth will end this month, and that several stretch goal features will not be added. That being said, many features from Stonehearth’s Kickstarter stretch goals have been cut from Stonehearth entirely.
