The co-op adventure Split Fiction from Hazelight Studios (It Takes Two) and EA releases March 6th, and the good news is that it will be easy to play on Linux / Steam Deck.

Nintendo Switch Online's retro game collection is losing its first game - in Japan at least.

The list of weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds run the gamut from oversized sword to oversized hammer all the way to oversized axe. There are 14 weapon types to choose from, each with their own distinctive play style, benefits, and drawbacks. The weapon you choose to wield in Monster Hunter Wilds determines the range of...

Working out the best weapon for beginners to start with in Monster Hunter Wilds can be daunting when there are 14 weapon types to choose from. While the game asks you a couple of questions early on to recommend weapons based on your preferred playstyle, these do not factor in their ease of use —...

We have a brilliant gaming monitor deal from Corsair that will get you a 4K, 144Hz, 32-inch gaming monitor for free, if you buy a Vengeance i8300 gaming PC.

Watch along with me as we get our first proper look at AMD's next-generation RDNA 4 GPUs.

These guys get it.

For reasons totally unrelated to the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, Palworld developer Pocketpair has given its team a "special holiday" today, 28th February.

Years ago I wrote a piece about what I presumptuously defined as the "emerging" subgenre of city games that respond to the climate crisis, with its attendant catastrophes of unchecked capitalism and resurgent fascism. Today, it feels dangerously like that subgenre is "sub" no longer. We are engulfed in strategy sims where society is the rind between the formless terrors without and the only-human abusers within. The geography is clogged by Last Cities and Final Bastions Of Humanity, all of them ...

Strong sails. Yesterday's Pokémon chatter meant that we had to put Famitsu's Japanese charts on the backburner for a minute, but fear not, here they are! It has been a big one for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, with SEGA's latest wacky RPG claiming the top two spots in its debut week as PS5 and PS4 sales (or should that be 'sails'?) combined for a little over 105,000 units.

Monster Hunter Wilds looks set to be a smash hit for Capcom, with the game hitting nearly a million concurrent players on Steam overnight, but the response to the game so far from those played is not all positive, according to Steam user reviews.

Want to tweak your new hunter? Here's how.

Someone stop that dang bird from wandering off already.

Apple is expected to embrace a new camera system design for some models in its upcoming iPhone 17 series, and the latest purported CAD images don't deviate from what we have been hearing lately about Apple's new lineup. If you do not like the sound of an iPhone with a camera bar, look away now. Seasoned leaker Sonny Dickson shared the following images in a post on X (Twitter), commenting: "Everyone seems to be sharing the same ‌iPhone 17‌ CAD, so I thought I'd share the ones I've seen." The firs...

The Elden Ring Nightreign network test proved a surprise success, giving a handful of lucky players an early taster of this multiplayer spin-off on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X/S ahead of the 30th May release. Nightreign's central hook is a compelling, too: a blend of Souls combat and Fortnite-inspired PvE multiplayer with plenty of strategic depth, though the game marks the return of some familiar technical limitations from Elden Ring - including performance issues in both quality and frame-r...

Monster Hunter’s combination of fearsome beasts and giant weapons is back. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players explore a new land — previously thought to be uninhabited — in the hopes of solving the mystery behind a new giant beast. Wilds has everything we expect from Monster Hunter games: challenging fights across lush landscapes, and the...

Monster Hunter Wilds has already climbed to a colossal Steam player count within its first few hours. The long-awaited successor to Monster Hunter World and Rise, Capcom’s two best-selling games ever, Wilds is already shaping up to contend for that title based on its early response. It’s not all good news, however - as expected based on the beta test and review reports, optimization concerns have left many unhappy. Currently, the initial review score for the new RPG sits at ‘mixed,’ with frame r...

Monster Hunter Wilds allows you to deploy your Palico and have it join you on quests to aid you in battle. Palicos are the adorable, bipedal cat companions of the Monster Hunter series. In Monster Hunter Wilds, you get to design a Palico that accompanies your hunter throughout their journeys (which you can change appearance...

Back in July 2024, Dungeonborne was thriving. At its peak, it attracted close to 40,000 simultaneous players on Steam, a higher total than even mainstream launches like Frostpunk, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Hell Let Loose. For a game that seemed to come out of nowhere, it was a huge success. Now, as I write this less than 12 months later, there are six people playing Dungeonborne - the most concurrent users it’s had in the last 30 days is 36. A one-time rival to cult favorite extraction RPG Dark and ...

Lala Barina is one of the new creatures lurking in Monster Hunter Wilds. The twitchy spider moves erratically, and to make matters worse, its thorax can open to resemble a blooming rose. It’s a beautiful spectacle, except for the spores that can paralyze you and a deadly tail attack awaiting within the petals. Despite being...

Bikes. Pelt them down a hill faster than the speed of sound, brake late, then skid the back wheel round to take a corner and narrowly avoid a poodle out doing its morning ablutions. Weave in and out of the wheelie bins round the back of the garages because you thought it looked cool on Ski Sunday. This is what I hoped for in Wheel World, Messhof's new open-world bike riding adventure/racing game that also happens to be about a ghost bike (Ghost Bike being its original, and probably better, name)...

Gibson has partnered with CRKD to create two "exclusive" Guitar Hero / Rock Band controllers, which will also work with Fortnite's much more recent musical mode.

Double whammy bar. Crikey, is it 2007 again? Yes, accessory manufacturer CRKD – known primarily for the Nitro Deck – has teamed up with renowned guitar maker Gibson to unleash two new controllers for use on Switch and other devices. Available for pre-order now and expected to ship in June 2025, the two products are known as the LP Black Tribal Encore Edition and the LP Blueberry Burst Pro Edition, the latter of which comes with mechanical fret buttons and a hall effect whammy bar for an extra te...

As of writing, Apple's online stores in the United States and Canada haven't yet been updated to show pickup availability, but shortages aren't expected and there is ...

Brevity soul'd or no, wit can also be the enemy of honesty; a fundamentally performative pin brooch with an artificial sheen. When I go back over my notes after playing a game, at least two-thirds of them will routinely be useless and powerfully crap jokes I've written in lieu of practical points because - even in a document no-one but me will ever read - I cannot bear to cease reminding myself that I'm an implausibly clever sausage. Occasionally I do remember to just jot down an unadorned facto...

Monster Hunter Wilds is living up to its name, with some truly wild player numbers following its debut.

"The Chapter of Marisa". Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes was one of the many RPGs to arrive on the Switch in 2024 and developer Rabbit & Bear Studios has now started its rollout of the story expansion DLC. As previously revealed, this all kicks off with "The Chapter of Marisa" which arrives on the eShop this week. It will set you back $7.99 / £5.99 (or your regional equivalent). Of course, you'll need the main game to access this new prequel story content.
