This new gaming laptop design hopes to replace your PC using a desktop RTX 5090

An interesting new gaming laptop concept is hoping to raise funds on Kickstarter, bringing together a laptop-style form factor using top-spec desktop components. The unique project claims to be the world’s first fully built-in water-cooled gaming laptop design, while also claiming support for Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 gaming GPUs and brand-new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D gaming CPUs, although the bulky and untested design means it might be an unappealing option for most gamers. We’ve seen DIY gaming lapto...

Star Fox Veteran's New Game Is Channelling Serious Lylat Energy

Every McCloud has a silver lining. With the Star Fox series skipping the Switch generation, we've seen more than a few imitators step up to fill its space. But none have appeared quite as Star Fox-y as Wild Blue, an upcoming "modern take of the beloved on-rails adventures of the 90s" from Giles Goddard's indie game studio, Chuhai Labs (Cursed to Golf, Halloween Forever). The reveal at today's Humble Games Showcase 2025 didn't showcase all that much gameplay, but reading the description and check...

Avowed game director says romance is more romantic when it isn't a system

Avowed's game director Carrie Patel has been on the blower to Eurogamer about why Avowed doesn't have any romance in it, which is to say it does, actually, if you're paying attention, and also, affairs of the heart aren't supposed to feel like min-maxing your Wizard, Kevin. To put that another way, she has gently suggested that relationships are more relatable when they aren't some kind of mechanic or system.

Monster Hunter Wilds already has a Rathalos-sized discount

I love the series, so it’s no surprise that Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds has already secured a spot as one of my favorite games of this year. Whether I’m planning to craft an armor set to survive battles against a Rathian, or purge the ugliest monster from the earth (Rompopolo, I'm looking at you), Monster Hunter Wilds ends up making me feel genuinely awesome during every session. If you’ve not yet played this excellent RPG, guess what? You can already get it at a discount.

Want to know how seasons work in Assassin's Creed Shadows? The latest AC game includes a new dynamic weather and seasonal system, and though it adds to the overall immersion and feel of the game, it also affects gameplay, too. Each AC Shadows season lasts around two hours of gameplay in the RPG, with different states within the season, so the transition into each season isn't as jarring. You can view which season and how far you are into it by going to the AC Shadows map screen and looking at th...

Compulsion “made the game it wanted” with South of Midnight

It's hard to believe that it's been seven years since We Happy Few. Easily one of my favorite games, I've missed Compulsion's "handcrafted, hallucinatory adventures," silently hoping that its Deep South-set adventure game South of Midnight will live up to expectations. With launch just around the corner, I sat down with game director Jasmin Roy and narrative director Zaire Lanier to ask if they're feeling the pressure - especially given the divisive nature of their earlier games.

If you’re a fan of genre classics like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, this is one you don’t want to miss. As developer NPC Studio continues the early access journey, Fields of Mistria’s second major update is here,  and it massively overhauls the game.
