"That DLC is available as a separate purchase". Amid all the Switch 2 excitement, there has been some confusion over the exact nature of the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Reports now suggest that all the game and upgrade data comes on the cart, although with customer service and store reps offering conflicting information, we're still waiting to hear directly from Nintendo for 100% confirmation. It seems that the folks over at IGN (thanks, ...

After 32 years, you might think that Doom, the greatest FPS game in history (fact), could no longer present a challenge. One of the most comprehensively excavated PC games of all time, we know how the enemies work, the damage values of all the weapons, even where the linedef triggers are placed on every level - both Doom and Doom 2 have been picked clean. And yet, the fires of Hell rage on. Sigil 2, created by John Romero himself, is one of the most punishing Doom map packs ever built. If you’re...

I only really became familiar with the term 'Wuxia' ahead of playing Phantom Blade Zero at Summer Game Fest last year. Since then, however, it's one of those descriptors that sparks a little hit of dopamine. The genre's characteristic flashy, martial arts-inspired combat and over-the-top, hero-centric drama has lured me in, and I'm very much here to stay. Taking that Wuxia feel and combining it with the open-world action of Ghost of Tsushima, Where Winds Meet is one of 2025's most highly anticip...

For the first few months after it was released, galactic co-op shooter Helldivers 2 could do wrong - and then came the PSN account linking. Sony mandated that players would have to connect their Steam accounts to a Playstation account, and though the publisher eventually u-turned, by that time, a sustained campaign of review bombing had already significantly crushed down Helldivers 2’s all-important user score. It seems that Bungie wants to avoid any similar controversy. Despite being owned by S...

You won't need a PlayStation account to play Marathon on PC, promise Bungie as their shooter's marketing blitz picks up speed. Previous games under Sony's umbrella, such as Helldivers 2, caused frustration and backlash when PC players were forced to register for a PlayStation account just to play online. But it looks like Sony's recent backpedalling on this requirement will save the upcoming extraction shooter from pissing off PC folks.

Snakists is a game by Pippin Barr, author of many small and wonderful ludic experiments. The most pertinent of which, in this case, is Snakisms.

'Pessimism', for example, forces you to contend with a prized gobblin' dot placed permanently outside the confines of your snakely entrapment box, 'Asceticism' kills you as soon as you eat a...
