Fans of damp tunnels and chatty skeletons may have enjoyed Lunacid, a first-person dungeon crawler which left early access in October 2023. Sin called it “lo-fi first-person dungeon skulking done right” and suggested that it “could well earn a place in some best of the year lists”. (It didn’t appear on ours, but in fairness, that was the year Baldur's Gate 3 devoured everybody’s brain.) Lunacid takes copious inspiration from Dark Souls developer FromSoftware’s old Shadow Tower and King’s Field g...

A new day dawns. Atelier has always been one of the more niche JRPG franchises out there, but it started to gain much more widespread appeal with the significant success of the Ryza trilogy over the past few years. Now that Gust has closed the book on Ryza’s adventures (for now, anyway…), it’s come time to see if they can maintain that momentum and successfully pass the baton to a new leading lady to act as the face of the franchise. We’d say that it’s been largely successful in that endeavour. ...

The company behind Roomba robovacs told investors earlier this week that revenue was substantially down and it’s struggling to pay its debts.

That, however, isn’t enough to tackle the $200 million loan iRobot took out to survive long enough for Amazon to come to the rescu...

I've always had a soft spot for Valorant. While Overwatch was my first real experience of FPS games, Riot's flagship shooter always felt like a bit of a step up. The gunplay was more reminiscent of Counter-Strike, rewarding tactical planning and pure skill, and the abilities - while useful - felt secondary to the overall gameplay. But as the roster has expanded and utility has gotten wackier and, oftentimes, more OP, it feels like once-clutch firefights can be won with a single good ability vers...

Konami have given us our first proper look at Silent Hill f, a new incarnation of the survival horror series from Hong Kong-based Neobards Entertainment, which takes place in 1960s Japan. You are Shimizu Hinako, a schoolgirl equipped with the trademark Silent Hill combo of a broken-off pipe and a cartload of psychological baggage, whose hometown Ebisugaoka is engulfed by a monstrous fog. The choice of a non-US setting has ruffled the plumage of players who cherish Silent Hill's association with ...
