Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't look or play like a game that should hit PCs this hard in 2025.

The Dungeons & Dragons faithful have another option for times when a physical tabletop isn't feasible. Wizards of the Coast's Sigil is a 3D virtual tabletop (VTT) experience that borrows some elements from video games without straying too far from the joy of sitting around a table with like-minded cohorts. It launched publicly this week and is now available for anyone to try. If you have no clue what a 3D VTT is, imagine a graphical recreation of all the hallmarks of tabletop D&D: virtual versio...

Character creator codes allow you to load pre-made designs for your hunter in Monster Hunter Wilds during the character creator, formally called the “character editor.” It’s perfect for people like me — who can’t design a character to save my life — or for those who want to load a different kind of template character...

Minecraft's live-action movie adaptation is almost upon us, and with its 4th April release date looming, Warner Bros. has shared a "final" trailer - giving us a quick glimpse of Jack Black's Nether region, as well as Jennifer Coolidge in a still-mysterious role.

Diablo 4's much-anticipated Season 8: Season of Witchcraft has been pushed back by two weeks, to add a little polish. The good news, if you're a long-time Diablo player, is that Blizzard is teasing the return of an 'old friend'.

Anyone looking for an alternative to Instagram might have a suitable candidate in Flashes, a recently launched app built on Bluesky that seems to get all the important basics right. Flashes technically launched on the App Store on February 24, but a series of updates released in the days after launch have made the app much easier to recommend. If you remember an Instagram before Meta turned it into its Facebook replacement, you have the basic gist of what Flashes is. It's an app for sharing phot...

RPS's corporate daddy has announced that IGN Live is returning this June. The in-person event aims to fill the void left by E3, with playable demos in LA and livestreams of game reveals and panels for those who can't attend.

This review of The Ugly Stepsister comes from its screenings at the Berlin International Film Festival. It will be updated for the movie’s American release.

Developer Necrosoft Games has assembled another huge bundle of games on Itch.io to support a good cause. It includes more than 400 games that can be yours if you pony up at least $10 to support wildfire relief efforts in Southern California. Tunic, one of our favorite games of 2022, is arguably the highest-profile game in the California Fire Relief Bundle. Buying this beautiful, Zelda-esque adventure on Steam right now would cost you $30. That alone makes the bundle great value, though it includ...

Have you seen this boy?

Want to craft your own little domain without the pressure of scrambling for resources? Then you’ll be happy to hear that Islanders, one of the most chilled-out city builders of all time, is getting a sequel in the shape of Islanders: New Shores. Imagine Cities Skylines 2 or Manor Lords, but without the stress, the traffic, and feudal struggling.

Warframe 1999 is, for me, the coolest thing to come out of the game in years. Set in the Germanic-style world of Höllvania, the update added everything from a dating simulator to an infested boy band, and is the sole reason I chose to pick up my katana and dive on into the Origin System. But Arthur and the Hex's story isn't over yet, as Techrot Encore is bringing a lot of new 1999-themed content, continuing the saga and expanding out the game's already impressive roster. With the release date fi...

Coatsink have announced a sequel to Islanders, their pastelcore seaside town-arranger, which was the last game Alec Meer ever reviewed for RPS. Until he reviewed Kentucky Route Zero: Act V, a year or so later. If I didn't know better, I'd say Alec had planned that deliberately to screw me up. But I'll forgive him because the KRZ review is very good and thoughtful, and also because the first trailer for Islanders: New Shores is extremely calming. Here you go.

Sharp fangs are some of the earliest crafting materials you’ll need in Monster Hunter Wilds, but they don’t come from any of the larger monsters in the game. Instead, you’ll need to hunt some smaller wildlife if you want to build the Talioth Vambraces or pieces of the Chatacabra set. In this Monster Hunter Wilds...

Frostpunk 2, sequel to the original post-apocalyptic city-builder, pitches you into a frozen world where your decisions can mean life or death for hundreds if not thousands of people. However, this follow-up hasn’t been as well received as its predecessor, and developer 11 bit studios has revealed how it plans to build on this icy foundation.

The comedic gecko is back with three classic platformers!

For a limited time, the Red Rising board game, and adaptation of the novel by Pierce Brown, is just $10.99 (was $24) at Amazon. That’s a significant discount on a game that should hold over fans who are waiting ever so patiently for the book’s sequel, Red God, which still doesn’t have a release date....

More than 110 former Metro series developers have come together as a new studio, known as Reburn, and its first project - La Quimera - is sci-fi shooter set in Latin America that's being co-written by Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn.

Square Enix just announced a new sub-brand called Dragon Quest Golf, which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a team dedicated to making golf merchandise and accessories based on the long-standing JRPG franchise. As expected, one of the brand’s initial offerings is a golf ball based on the iconic blue Slime. This is typically the first enemy players encounter in a DQ game. The company will showcase more merch at the 59th Japan Golf Fair on March 7, though Square Enix hasn’t yet revealed any ot...

Growing up in the suburbs outside of Toronto, I quickly learned how serious a matter like an overgrown lawn or late night tunes can become. There’s nothing more terrifying than the shadow of an active homeowners association. An upcoming multiplayer game takes that threat a step further, pitting two crews of suburbanites against each other...

Intel announced that it's further delaying plans to open two chip fabrication facilities in Ohio, pushing their completion out to 2030. The company originally announced its plans for Ohio in 2022, with an ambitious opening set for 2025. Intel says it completed the "basement" level of its Ohio One project last quarter, which allows above-ground construction to get underway now. The $20 billion dollar project is technically split across two different chip fabs, dubbed Mod 1 and Mod 2, which won't ...

You probably shouldn't write in Gamey McGameface but you can if you want to.

We’ve become used to the slow addition of Nintendo classics to the Nintendo Switch Online service since it launched in 2018, but some subscribers will apparently lose access to an old-school game on March 28.

Fubo TV is bringing in more subscribers and revenue but still losing loads of money. Ahead of its proposed Hulu + Live TV merger, the broadcast streaming service increased its subscriber count by about four percent in Q4 2024 and its quarterly revenue by eight percent from a year earlier. And hey, it only lost about $41 million in the quarter, so things aren't too shabby! The streaming service ended Q4 with 1.676 million paid subscribers. That's up from 1.61 million in Q3 and 1.45 million in Q2,...
