The Ellie problem has been temporarily resolved but a new issue crops up: Otto, another colonist, has gone from stress burping to stress vomiting. As you may have gathered from the title, not only do the colonists need food, warmth, and comfort, but also enough clean air to breathe. I can see that gases like oxygen and hydrogen float upwards, while others, such as carbon dioxide, settle downwards. There are certainly challenges in solving the issues of toxic gases mingling with breathable oxygen

Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t been announced for the PC yet, but I’m enough of an optimist that I still believe it’ll arrive sometime down the tracks—and so I’m a little disappointed by the word from Rockstar today that the game has been delayed into the spring of 2018. Because that likely means any eventual PC release is even further off. The announcement also specified that the new launch date is for the PS4 and Xbox One, and naturally made no mention of the PC. I’ve emailed Rockstar (again) to

Kerbal Space Program has been around in one form or another since 2011, and went into full release in 2015. The news came by way of a Game Dev Unchained interview with former Valve developer Roger Lundeen, now with Turtle Rock, whose credits include CS:GO and Portal 2. There’s the group of… the modders who made—is it Kerbal Space Station? I don’t know how many have gone up to Valve, but I just heard that the crew that made Kerbal Space Station [got hired],” he added. It’s not known how many me

Just last week we took a look at the most obscure Steam achievements available, but I fear that list is now woefully out of date. Yesterday, a game called Running Through Russia launched on Steam Early Access for $1, and it has over 4,000 achievements to unlock. One of the top Steam reviews says “I got 50 achievements for bumping into a bear (each time),” so it doesn’t sound like they’re too hard to get. You can take a look at the full list of 4096 achievements here. Still, for those dedicated f

The Civilization series’ endless modability is one of the reasons many of us are still playing it today. It has custom graphics and text all throughout, and even has a synopsis and history at least five paragraphs long in the civilopedia. The other half is because how on earth has Kanye West ended up as a civ mod? John Madden’s Moonbase Alpha is a custom civ built around the incredible videos spurred by free-to-play game Moonbase Alpha’s text-to-speech feature—for those out of the loop, this is

Last year, I caved and assaulted my tattered savings account by splurging on a GTX 1080… then two 1080s. Recently I decided to sell my second GTX 1080, and in doing so, I’ve finally rediscovered my love for just playing games on my PC. That’s right: I stopped playing one of the best PC games of the last decade because my crippling fps anxiety couldn’t tolerate the occasional six measly dropped frames. Hell, the old me would have bought a GTX 1080 TI trying to claw back those extra six frames in

Ubisoft has rolled out a brief teaser for the recently-revealed FPS Far Cry 5, confirming that the game is headed to the remote, rugged environs of Montana. The teaser is simply a clip of a young man out for a job through grassy, wind-kissed field and a , and the very homey “Welcome to Hope County, Montana” logo laid overtop. The full Far Cry 5 worldwide reveal is set for May 26, which is this Friday. Update: The post originally referenced a video of a slightly-polluted Montana river, which unfo

Twin Peaks returned to television screens this weekend after a 26-year absence. Twin Peaks didn’t change the form of games in the way it did with television, but it’s left artistic and thematic influences all over the place. I disagree with Andy’s assertion in that piece that the influence of Twin Peaks is mostly superficial or cosmetic in games other than Life Is Strange, however. Twin Peaks has re-entered a medium that it’s shaped on many levels, and yet it stands entirely apart thanks to Lync

AMD cards have seemingly had the worst of it—players have reported white screen crashes, stuttering frame rates and resolution issues when playing in fullscreen mode—however a new driver update looks to remedy the problem. Speaking on AMD’s corner of Reddit a representative for the company said:”We’ve got a driver update coming very soon with (finally) a fix for the game, and a few other notable items too. A subsequent edit underscores the fact this particular fix is designed to prevent the “whi

As you may have spied Andy reporting a couple of week’s back, Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake was removed from Steam on May 15 as a result of “expiring music licenses.” As Andy notes here, the inclusion of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Roy Orbison, David Bowie, Depeche Mode and similar top-flight bands/musicians forced the Finnish developer to remove the game from online stores—an unfortunate occasion it celebrated with a so-called Sunset Sale, whereby the action adventure ’em up was discounted by

In the more than two decades since, almost everything about PC gaming has changed, but a couple of things haven’t. The launch of the PC Gamer Club is the next step in that relationship. We also want to take this opportunity to explain why now feels like the right time for the PC Gamer Club. PC Gamer is a round-the-clock operation with reporters on three continents, dedicated to bringing you the most exciting things happening on the platform we love. Supporting us by becoming a Club member massiv

The game which Samuel described as “an okay platformer but a deeply imaginative horror game” that’s “worth playing for its array of disturbing imagery,” Little Nightmares has now released an ‘accolades’ trailer that showcases its plaudits from various publications. Not the most exciting news, however the short does appear to tease a new character—which I’m assuming hints at future DLC. “Be patient and watch it till the very end to get a clue about the future of Little Nightmares… Who’s that boy?

While enjoying one of the best reputations in the industry, Platinum Games tends to do the bidding of publishers rather than carve their own game series’. Bayonetta and Vanquish belongs to Sega, Nier: Automata belongs to Square Enix, and Metal Gear: Revengeance belongs to Konami. But now the Japanese studio is working on something of its very own. Still, its existence means that the studio most likely won’t be able to pump out a game a year like it has done for a while. Still, it’ll be interesti

I noticed my new opponent was named ‘Waffle Facts,’ but I didn’t think much of it. Feeling particularly proud of myself, I expected Waffle Facts to retort with something equally as shitty, but I got something else. “Thank you for subscribing to waffle facts. “Everyone around the studio got a real kick out of Waffle Facts after it surfaced on Twitter,” he said. And just the other day, someone said, ‘I saw you on Twitter, this is Waffle Facts, you’re the guy!’

The fun, colourful trailer for Bandai Namco’s *deep breath* One Piece: Unlimited World Red – Deluxe Edition appears to finish halfway through, before offering up another couple of minutes’ worth of boisterous anime action. It’s an enhanced version of the game based on piratical anime One Piece, with a newly 60fps framerate, and “over 40 pieces” of downloadable content included. Unlimited World: Red – Deluxe Edition will hit PC, and Steam, on August 25, and here’s what it looks like—i.e. enjoyabl

Episode 4 of A New Frontier—The Walking Dead’s third season—arrived on April 25, and in an unusual move for Telltale, it’s been announced that the next chapter will follow after it in a timely manner. Episode 5, AKA ‘From the Gallows’, AKA the finale, will release on Tuesday May 30. We’ll have to wait until next week for the trailer, of course, but Telltale promises that From the Gallows will be the developer’s “most tailored episode to date”. That key art, above, certainly promises excitement:

“We started popping up in streams on Twitch months ago and it ignored from there,” Jim Kelly, the owner of the State of Emergency GTA 5 RP server, tells me. Unlike my journey into Ark: Survival Evolved’s most prominent RP server, GTA 5 players make a (feeble) effort to lead normal, everyday lives. But where GTA RP differs is that there’s some semblance of order to the usual chaos found in your average session of GTA Online. If you’re keen on participating, Evol PC Gaming has public roleplaying s

If you happen to be subscribed to Amazon/Twitch Prime, then you can grab the ultra-difficult Titan Souls right now for free. The challenging, boss fight-filled game can be claimed here, but you’ll need the Twitch desktop app to download and play it. In PC Gamer’s review, Andi Hamilton scored it an 87/100 and wrote that playing through Titan Souls your first time “is fantastic fun,” adding that it’s a shame there aren’t a few more bosses in its dangerous world. Previously, the narrative-driven ho

Say it with me: Tekken 7 is almost out on PC. The game comes out on June 2, and with it comes a bunch of the series’ best fighters. Some of them are highlighted in a recently released trailer (above) that shows off their new looks, while new character Lucky Chloe gets her own chance in the spotlight. King has a cape, Steve Fox is in full boxing attire, and King has a cape. Tekken 7’s two very nice bears, however, are “obviously stronger than a human being.”
