Final Fantasy 15 released to PC last week, and if you’re looking for a performance bump from your Radeon hardware, AMD promises to oblige with its latest Adrenalin 18.3.2 driver release. According to AMD’s internal benchmarking, the new GPU driver package delivers up to 4 percent better performance in Final Fantasy 15 when using a Radeon RX Vega 64 and playing at 1920×1080. If you’re running a Radeon RX 580 graphics card at the same resolution, AMD says you can expect up to 7 percent faster perf

Pathway is a turn-based RPG about raiding temples and tombs in an alternate pre-WWII era where, on top of breaking the Treaty of Versailles, Germany is spending 1936 investing in occult mysticism. Apparently they’re onto something ghastly, so your friend Morten tries to put a stop to their plans but winds up captured. Something of a follow-up to developer Robotality’s previous game, the sci-fi Halfway, Pathway focuses on finding unique stories in procedurally generated adventures. Stardew Valley

Writer and director of A Way Out, Josef Fares, controls Vincent, while I control Leo. A Way Out is an experimental co-op game that tells the story of two convicts on the run from the law. ‘Cinematic’ is an overused term in games, but it’s impossible to ignore Josef Fares’ history as a film director. Alternatively you can play a game of Connect-Four together, or compete to hold wheelie positions in some spare wheelchairs. It’s a co-op game that isn’t primarily about combat; it shifts between genr

Jeff Goldblum will reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in Frontier’s incoming theme park management sim Jurassic World Evolution. Goldblum features in the following video short to tell prospective players he’ll play Malcolm in Jurassic Evolution World, and that he’ll be with them “the whole game”. Cue a typically Jeff Goldblum appearance from Jeff Goldblum:”I’m gonna be with you the whole game as Dr. Ian Malcolm, that’s the character I play in those Jurassic Park movies,” says Goldblum above. Ju

When it’s not adding Hunting Rifles and Miniguns into its last-person-standing stramash, Fortnite Battle Royale is lining up loot llamas and remote explosives. And while we already know bountiful camelids are en route this week, the fact sticky bombs are “coming soon” suggests they might be too. Remote explosives coming soon to Fortnite Battle Royale. pic.twitter.com/4lfd5QJYoxMarch 12, 2018When they land, it’s expected remote explosives will replace smoke grenades—given Epic has already said th

Soul Reaver was everything a 12-year-old boy could want, and I must have played the demo dozens of times. Soul Reaver is such a singular achievement that it’s easy to forget it’s a sequel. Wraith lifeTaking place 1,500 years later, Soul Reaver introduces a new protagonist. But there are other tricks and effects that Soul Reaver employs which remain impressive. At the time, however, Soul Reaver was regarded as Tomb Raider’s main rival, although both series were published by Eidos.

As promised in last week’s roadmap post, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds now has emotes, Steam achievements and an in-game friends list. Rolled out today, PUBG’s PC Update #7 is live. Log in and check out the new features: – Emotes – PUBG Friends List – 37 Steam Achievements – Bug fixes, updates, and morePatch notes: https://t.co/GQF9JjlFyG pic.twitter.com/QOjznuvkQjMarch 13, 2018For now, 12 emotes are on offer with more to be “added in the future”. Independent of Steam friends lists, the PUBG fri

I went back for a second run, this time deliberately passing on lies about one of the characters I’d been asked to investigate. I also like the way that the text around the important information chunks builds a strong sense of place. Some pages have no information chunks and are there purely to color in the setting. I also ran into problems with the game’s inflexible system for uploading information chunks. Despite these flaws, I still feel Orwell: Ignorance is Strength is a game worth playing.

Chan-Hyung “Fissure” Baek transferred from the London Spitfire to the L.A. Gladiators after stage one. On Saturday, March 10, The London Spitfire played against the Los Angeles Gladiators in an important Overwatch League match. Map one – Volskaya IndustriesThe disrespect coming from the London Spitfire could be seen early on Volskaya Industries, the first map of the afternoon. By leaping onto the opposition, Fissure and the Gladiators went on to take the first map of the set. Even though the Spi

VIDEO: 25 minutes of Ni No Kuni 2, also available on YouTube. We finally got a chance to put some hours into the PC version of Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom, and it’s every bit as beautiful as we expected. It’s also far more diverse than we expected, between fun army-style skirmish battles, third-person fights which are much faster and more fluid than the original game’s combat system, and a robust kingdom building sim which we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of. We’ll have more details in

But now Coffee Stain Studios has a mysterious new project in the works called Satisfactory, and it said that this time it’s actually trying really hard to make a decent game. The teaser doesn’t actually reveal anything about the game (sorry), nor does the threadbare press release that brought it my way. Coffee Stain CEO Anton Westbergh said. Goat Simulator jokes aside, this will hopefully be—and could be—a good game, or at least a proper one: Goat Sim was a goat rodeo but before that Coffee Stai

No Truce With the Furies is an isometric RPG styled after a hardboiled cop show, set in the corrupt, beautifully dilapidated city of Revachol West. That confusion may be why the game has been graced with a new title, Disco Elysium, although it all still sounds suitably weird. As a title, Disco Elysium perhaps conjures a slightly more precise mental image than No Truce With the Furies, but I think it comes up shorter in the raw coolness department (disco is dead, man), and I’m honestly not sure w

The first thing that hits me when I boot up Light Fall is the music, a lovely medley of strings and bells. In my defense, I had a good reason to think that: Light Fall is a 2D platformer where you create most of the platforms by deploying a cube directly beneath you. Every new challenge lets you balance using the existing level and using your cube, but even when you go full cube, nothing feels accidental or broken. You really can do most anything you can think of, but Light Fall is still a tough

It’s weird—refreshingly weird—to be playing a racing game and thinking about strategy moment-to-moment. I didn’t think the first would be a racing game, but after half an hour of playing Trailblazers, I feel pretty confident in saying the idea works brilliantly. It’s weird—refreshingly weird—to be playing a racing game and thinking about strategy moment-to-moment, and changing that strategy a few times every race. None of this would ultimately matter if Trailblazers didn’t feel good, but it has

Valve has unveiled a new subscription-based Dota 2 service called Dota Plus, “an evolution of the Battle Pass” that will replace the Majors Battle Passes with an ongoing service that will be regularly updated with new features and content. Dota Plus will be similar, with hundreds of new challenges including hero-specific challenges, but as an ongoing service rather than a scheduled, seasonal one. Dota Plus subscribers will also have access to a “Death Summary” screen providing “a second-by-secon

Over the weekend, Microsoft announced during it’s Xbox Season Premiere event that it will be adding FreeSync 2 support to the Xbox One S and Xbox One X. More recently, AMD created an enhanced version called FreeSync 2, which is backwards compatible with the original FreeSync spec, so the Xbox One S/X will support both FreeSync 2 and FreeSync displays. The initial FreeSync support will roll out next week to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Ring (basically the more frequent ‘beta’ updates to test new fe

Earlier today, we wrote about PNY’s new and aggressively priced 960GB CS900 series solid state drive. It’s on sale for $230, making it one of the least expensive 1TB-class SSDs around. While in search of interesting hardware deals, we noticed that PNY’s other CS900 series drives are on sale well. It uses MLC NAND and is on sale at Newegg for $120 (save $65). According to Patriot, it’s capable of delivering sequential reads of up to 560MB/s and sequential writes of up to 545MB/s, along with 4K ra

A trio of Hearthstone developers went into the forest to discover the secrets of The Witchwood, the new expansion for Hearthstone. Set in the Worgen-cursed city of Gilneas, the Witchwood expansion will feature 135 new cards, a few of them found conveniently hanging in a tree by Hearthstone head guy Ben Brode. The expansion will also add a new Monster Hunt mode to the action, similar to Kobolds & Catacombs’ Dungeon Run, that challenges players with a series of eight increasingly difficult encount

It’s essentially a mining PC inside a fanless anodized aluminum radiator with a wood grain finish on top. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen processor and two Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 graphics cards that together have a hash rate of 60 MH/s, according to Qarnot, the French company that produces it. According to TechCrunch, Qarnot doesn’t take a cut of whatever is mined. If sticking with Ethereum, Qarnot estimates users can mine around $120 worth of currency per month, which doesn’t factor in the

Philips is outfitting its super-wide Brilliance 492P8 monitor with an upgraded QHD panel for its US debut later this year, the company announced. When the Brilliance 492P8 was first announced at IFA earlier this year, it had a 3840×1080 resolution, the same as Samsung’s massively wide monitor. Samsung’s double-wide display offers certain gaming amenities that the Philips display seems to lack, notably HDR and FreeSync 2 support. You also get a 144Hz refresh rate with Samsung’s monitor, whereas P
