The developer’s first PC outing offers a pretty seismic shift in tone towards a “uniquely crafted thriller with glimpses into psychotic, alternate dimensions”. That’s called The Lighthouse and it’s now peeked its head over its $10,000 Kickstarter ask with 21 days left before its campaign expires. I’m on a bit of a survival horror kick at the moment, having recently returned to The Evil Within. Here’s The Lighthouse’s latest cinematic:And here’s the skinny as per its Kickstarter page:”The Lightho

If you’re looking for a boost in speed and bandwidth, then you might want to try the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6. It’s just received a big price drop on Amazon, and you can find it for £115. It’s a tri-band AC3200 router, delivering plenty of speed to plenty of devices on your network with its six antennas. The Nighthawk X6 also has beamforming, which focuses the signal towards the client rather than transmitting in all directions. If you’re looking for some alternatives, take a peek at our guide

In early 2016, Techland announced plans to support its flagship horror game Dying Light into the new year. Dying Light’s batch of freebies includes new in-game events, new enemies, new mysteries to solve and “much, much more”, so says Smektala. In his 2015 review, Chris liked but didn’t love Dying Light’s base game—however was far more enamoured by its The Following expansion. It’s really, really awful in there. The first portion of Dying Light’s host of new stuff is “coming soon”.

Despite Warhammer games being released at the same rate as bolter rounds, it’s surprisingly difficult to find real stinkers on Steam. Warhammer 40,000: Kill TeamSteam reception: OVERALL—Mixed (533 reviews)“I love my Warhammer 40k games. Talisman: The Horus HeresySteam reception: OVERALL—Mixed (136 reviews)“Honestly I am going to be frank with this review, I love Warhammer 40,000.

Ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds playerbase continues to grow so too does its instances of weird and wonderful kills. The Grand Theft Auto 5 stunting community is one which has interested me for quite some time, and it’s cool to see PUBG players mixing death defying tricks with brutal battle royale prowess. In a video posted yesterday by Aaron Hansen, two motorbike-riding players literally take their tactics to another level as they enter an enemy-occu

You may have read Joe’s extensive interview with PC gaming fanatic (and Hollywood actor) Terry Crews last week, in which the White Chicks star spoke of his excitement at being a playable character in upcoming open world superhero game Crackdown 3. Well, over the weekend developers Sumo Digital finally fully unveiled Crews’s character, called Commander Jaxon. The video, via Gamespot, is a short one: just a quick toe-to-head spin showing the character’s armour, face and voice. The video arrived a

Given its meteoric and seemingly unstoppable success at this point, it’s hard to believe PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been around for just four months. Perhaps harder to comprehend still—it’s now sold over five million copies. That’s pretty good going given it’s still in Early Access, which is where it’ll reside till some stage during “Q4 2017”. In less business-y terms, that means, all going well, it’ll land between October 1—December 31. Before then, expect two new maps, vaulting and jump

Fresh out the San Diego Comic-Con oven, there’s some new footage of Monster Hunter: World. Capcom confirmed that a total of 14 videos of all of the game’s weapons in action would be arriving “in the coming days”, the user claimed. Here’s the footage:The video also shows some of the more acrobatic combat moves, including the player running up the side of the tree and jumping backwards to mount the monster. If you want some more footage of the game in action, Capcom shared a whole 25 minutes of it

From the looks of all the footage I’ve seen of upcoming side-scrolling sword combat game Nidhogg 2, the mechanics will be very similar to the original. That’s a good thing, because Nidhogg was one of the best games of 2014. “What many people didn’t realize was that Nidhogg’s style actually grew out of practicality more than some daring vision,” he said. It seemed silly to use all this potential on pixelated stick figures. Animated faces, sweet outfits and hairstyles, bustling environments – the

One of the most infuriating absences on PC is Demon’s Souls – From Software’s direct predecessor to the Dark Souls series, which released exclusively for PS3 in 2009. But the creators of the RPCS3 PS3 emulator have been steadily chipping away at the stubborn exclusive, and now they consider it “playable” on PC. The footage below is running on an i7-6700k and still suffers from performance issues, but at least the build can be enjoyed. “Since we last looked at Demon’s Souls there have been major

This page on Steam is looking increasingly healthy, as JRPG-focused developer Nihon Falcom gradually ports many of its old (and less old) games to PC, and to Steam. Speaking to TechRaptor, in an answer translated by NIS America, Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo had this to say—in response to a query about whether the company was actively pursuing PC releases for more recent Nihon Falcom games:”We have no hesitation about releasing games on Steam. When we first started releasing games on St

If you’ve got the urge to spend a few hours running around Chernarus today, you don’t need to boot up Arma 2 or DayZ. Now you can do it in Minecraft, thanks to map-maker Criand who has recreated the entire map in beautiful—and incredibly accurate—blocky glory. In a Reddit post, Criand says the project began in 2014 and took an estimated 1800 hours to complete. There’s even an interactive zoomable version of the map. The Chernarus map isn’t currently available to download, though Criand says it w

Slime Rancher is a game about hoovering up slimes, exploring, and farming on an alien planet, and it’s proved rather popular in the year-and-a-half the sandbox title has been in Steam Early Access. Slime waits for no man, however, and so Monomi Park’s open adventure finally has an actual release date, and it’s very, very soon. Slime Rancher 1.0.0 will release on August 1st, as this news post on Steam explains. That Casual mode is basically Adventure Mode but with no tarr, while the new Iron Ranc

The one piece of the puzzle that will be most familiar is the CPU block. Intel and AMD have different mounting brackets and the hardware used varies depending on the socket for your CPU. Because of this, it’s important to take note of the required hardware and to ensure that your chosen water block or CPU cooler provides support for your processor. If you must turn the block once it has made contact, you will disturb the thermal paste and potentially introduce performance issues. While there are

So, it’s with some trepidation that I’m suggesting another mod—this time, one that turns The Witcher 3 into a survival game by requiring Geralt to eat, drink, and manage fatigue. Hopefully, Geralt getting hungry and chowing down isn’t counter to Witcher lore. The Primal Needs mod comes with a small color coded display on your HUD to show you the status of your hunger, thirst, and fatigue, and there’s a bit of depth to it besides simply eating and drinking every so often. The thirst meter deplete

Maybe that’s because the Overwatch team regularly offers granular analyses of balance changes, whereas the Hearthstone team can be less precise and transparent. “However, I personally would love to see balance changes as frequently as possible because of the static nature of the game.” Victor ‘ VLPS ‘ Lopez felt the same and says balance changes have been more frequent, but not frequent enough. Why was Quest Rogue left untouched for so long, and why are balance changes so scarce? Those are our o

The team behind Middle-earth: Shadow of War have re-imagined the ginormous spider Shelob as an attractive woman with a posh English accent, in a new trailer for the Shadow of Mordor sequel, which you can watch below. The trailer later shows Sexy Shelob turning back into a big arachnid, so there is some continuity with the books and films. When she’s not wrapping Elijah Wood up in silk, or getting stabbed up by one of the Goonies, Shelob likes nothing better than turning semi-undead rangers again

At the start of the year we brought you the news that Dreamfall Chapters’ “Final Cut” update would arrive this March—’March’ being a word that here means, apparently, ‘July’. OK so it’s a bit late, but you can now play Red Thread Games’ five-part episodic adventure with enhanced art and sound effects, improved performance, and a few other pleasant additions, and that’s not bad at all for a free update, now is it? The Final Cut update is detailed here on Steam, but it’s also available on GOG, and
