Agree that it looks nice, combat isn't great though and the AI is pretty bad. Outside that though I am enjoying the fact that you are just out there investigating a mystery and there aren't really quests per say, just leads to follow.

Been a while since I posted one of these.

I've really been enjoying Avowed, helps that I have a soft spot for the Pillars lore as PoE 2 is one of my favourite cRPGs. I think the combat is a lot of fun, some of the best melee combat I've used in one of these types of games. I also like the smaller maps and more low key feel to the game. I've...

You never want to see people lose their jobs of course but all the senior team left years ago and took a lot of staff with them so it's just a name nowadays.

It's not rose tinted glasses for me, BF1942 was just pure fun. Yes it was janky but also I could kill a tank by standing on a grenade box and throwing grenades. The move to realism that the series followed after that was never really as interesting to me.

I've never followed these games that closely in terms of the developers, have they said why they think save potions are a good idea?

I cancelled my CIv VII pre-order after seeing the reviews, I knew it would come in hot but looks like it is rougher than I thought it would be. I might pick this up instead. Didn't play the first game but the stuff I have seen about how this is a major improvement and basically a medieval version of...

Lol read that this morning. Musk is so fucking odd, why is he trying to pass himself off as a 'l33t gam3r'? There's literally no need for it.

Because he is a terribly insecure person and wants people to like him.

A belated Happy Christmas to all, I hope you had a good one!

Intel's next generation of graphics cards have finally made their way to market and reviews have been very positive. Performance wise it beats out the 4060 and gets close to the 4060Ti in a lot of benchmarks. The real plus point is the price though with cards set to be around £250 and with plenty of...

Well this is a dash of cold water in the face for the upcoming Indy game: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/after-three-hours-with-indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-i-dont-think-its-the-grand-adventure-machinegames-is-pitching-its-just-a-fairly-basic-stealth-game/#comment-jump At least it's coming...

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Qce2bMpZ2xmXtvjXbw8mkf-970-80.jpg This is pretty much what I expected when it came out they were pulling press previews. Their stock price has been in free-fall the last few months so they really need this game to sell which also explains why it is coming to Steam ...

Probably this will be a bad idea, but the upcoming release of this has put me in the mood for a replay of Inquisition - something I've not done since 2019 apparently, looking at my EA account. I was playing DA2 recently but burned out a bit somewhere in the second act, but I really want to familiar...

It's a console that is antithetical to what is currently happening in the industry right now. We have developers shedding jobs or shutting down because their game failed to make back enough to cover the huge development costs, a general feeling that we can't keep on spending this much to make games,...
