After a busy launch, Sea of Thieves has continued to steady its ship with patches, bug fixes and the promise of private crews to stop ne’er-do-wells locking randos in the brig. Its latest update, number 1.0.3, targets aim down sights sensitivity, mouse binds and weapon balancing. To ensure parity between console and PC players, the game’s default mouse sensitivity has been upped following feedback. Moreover, an ADS slider is planned down the line—and ‘mouse scroll up and down’ has been added to

At one-quarter the size of Miramar and Erangel, PUBG’s Savage map is its smallest battleground yet. Evan, Chris and Jody reckon this is a good thing—but you can decide for yourself when it returns to test servers next week. As outlined in this Steam Community post, Codename: Savage enters its Closed Experimental Server on Monday 16 at 6pm PST/Tuesday 17 at 2am BST, and is live till the same time on Wednesday 18. Developer PUBG Corp will reopen its signup website this weekend, but those who claim

Videogames Twitter is awash with God of War PS4 reviews today, and I hear it’s pretty good . In addition, I understand that series protagonist Kratos likes to unwind in Los Santos, when he’s not off battling Titans and rewriting Norse and Greek mythology. Look, see:The mod’s creator recommends Meth0d’s AddonPeds when adding Kratos to GTA 5, however full details, including installation instructions, can be found in this direction . DarwinVS’ Zeus God of War mod is a little older, but, as the name

Jerseys based on the one worn by disgraced Boston Uprising player Jonathan “DreamKazper” Sanchez can reportedly be exchanged, shipping prices included, by at least one vendor. Reddit user grindtime23 applied for an exchange for his purchase through vendor Into The AM, and it was happily granted. “We completely understand and would be more than happy to exchange this jersey for you,” Into The AM reportedly replied, when asked about the exchange. DreamKazper was kicked from the Boston Uprising tea

The avid build-a-beast fans among you—and hey, who isn’t?—will be aware that the arrival of Hearthstone’s The Witchwood expansion on 12 April (that’s tomorrow) will also see Deathstalker Rexxar finally fixed. For those who haven’t been following the saga , Deathstalker Rexxar is the Hunter hero card that lets you stitch two Beasts together to make a new Zombeast. Players had assumed the selection of Beasts Deathstalker Rexxar can pick from would always mirror those that were available as part of

The second expansion to Destiny 2 has been officially unveiled as Warmind, and it’s scheduled to go live with new places, new heroes, and new enemies on May 8. There’s no trailer yet, but Destiny 2 community manager David “Deej” Dague said that it’s on the way. All Crucible maps being developed for the Warmind expansion will be made available to all players, as will all of the Curse of Osiris maps.

Sexy Hiking, by JazzuoSexy Hiking was the original game about having to climb obstacles with a hammer controlled by a mouse. Sexy Hiking does beat Getting Over It in one particular category, however, and that’s the title. Other than Sexy Hiking, the best ones are Sexy Hand and GM Golf. I recommend his other ‘Sexy’ game, Sexy Hand II, which is a golf game with a similarly unusual control scheme, and GM Golf which is like a fusion of Sexy Hiking and Sexy Hand.

I don’t know that those cards are necessarily good in the decks that are already powerful for Warlock right now. The Brode Backstory Read about the rise and rise of Ben Brode in our recent feature profile. I do think that’s a concern. If it was easy, if you could tell how good a card is by looking at it, then we wouldn’t need a balance team. Blackhowl Gunspire Arguably the biggest meme card in The Witchwood set, but a lot of fun and the art is lovely.

The Warcraft 3 update that hit the PTR in February (and yes, there’s a Warcraft 3 PTR) is now fully live. The patch brings widescreen support to the 16-year-old game, with “bookends” added to the interface and black pillars in menus, plus expanded game lobbies and more team colors, and an impressive selection of bug fixes and balace changes. Ladder standings have also been reset, and Blizzard said that automated tournaments will be brought back next week. There’s also some advice in there for pe

Things got heated when the PC Gamer staff debated whether the boss fight is good design or an antiquated videogame trope, so we decided to present our strongest evidence for each case. Artorias of the Abyss, Dark SoulsAustin: Artorias of the Abyss reads like a Dark Souls boss. That’s classic Dark Souls. But at the same time, he doesn’t feel like a Dark Souls boss, and that’s what makes him so great. You can’t fight it anymore—you haven’t been able to fight it for over four years—but I still thin

Port-a-Forties and the Replay system revealed last month are now live in Epic’s mega-hit battle royale Fortnite, courtesy of the recently-rolled-out 3.5 update. Port-a-Fort grenades are flashy (and have the best name) but the Replay system is the big addition in this update. It will also be at the center of what sounds like an upcoming cinéma sorta vérité contest. “With a suite of cinematic settings you can now capture your most memorable moments, highlights and cinematics,” Epic said in the pat

The setup for Unforeseen Incidents contains the most capital-A Adventure Game line I’ve ever heard: “Before he knows it, he finds himself in a fight for the future of humankind armed only with his trusty multi-tool.” Inadvertently saving the world using a bunch of random doodads: bam, every adventure game ever. Unforeseen Incidents is billed as a “classical” mystery adventure game, but its art distinguishes it from its point-and-click ancestors. The characters look more like caricatures, for one

The Bully Hunters are a vigilante hit squad of elite female gamers who have banded together to end sexual harassment and abuse in the popular game CS:GO.” “The Bully Hunters are prepared for the possibility of retaliation and are putting measures in place to combat that. Dunking on online jerks is great, but the real point of the exercise is drawing attention to the problem of sexism and abuse online. “[The Bully Hunters] hope that through more conversation, fewer online gamers will tolerate thi

You can grab a reasonably well-equipped XPS Tower for $1,000 after using promo code 100OFF999 (be sure to use all caps). For this particularly setup, you get a 6-core Intel 8th generation Core i5-8400 processor, 8GB of DDR4-2666 RAM, 1TB hard drive (7,200 RPM), and a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card. It costs $50 more to bump up to a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, or $150 to outfit this desktop with a GeForce GTX 1080. It’s not entirely clear if Dell is using a silver or black chassis for these setups. T

So, in February 2016, they decided to make their own breeding-centric monster game: Monster Crown. “In Monster Crown, the offspring are true mixes of both parents, in every way. There are roughly 200 collectible monsters in Monster Crown, but you’ll have to create the “countless” others yourself by combining whatever suits your fancy. Judging from its Kickstarter delivery dates, Monster Crown will release in early 2019. In the meantime, why not have a gander at Re:Legend, another upcoming monste

Inked, an upcoming puzzle game from developer Somnium Games, has two protagonists. The obvious one is the Nameless Hero, a rogue samurai on a quest for his love Aiko. The other is Adam, the comic book artist who drew the Nameless Hero. We see papercraft visuals fairly often, but Inked has a very particular style. It’s a clean, cool art style which really pushes the limits of the trusty line tool.

Today, however, it’s rolling out a Pavilion Gaming category that is intended to attract mainstream gamers, which HP says accounts for 62 percent of a market that is growing. To kick things off, HP this month will be rolling out its Pavilion Gaming 690 and 790 desktops. The Pavilion Gaming 790 is a larger, more powerful desktop. Buyers will be able to configure a purchase a Pavilion Gaming 690 starting April 15, and a Pavilion Gaming 790 starting April 30 on its websites. They include a pair of 1

Citing an unnamed source, Windows Central says Microsoft discovered a “blocking bug” right at the last minute. In this case, the Spring Creators Update had undergone significant testing internally at Microsoft and by users participating in the Windows Insider program. The Spring Creators Update (not an official name, by the way) is the
