League of Legends is a lot. First, you have to choose a role to main. Then, you need to learn that role's item combinations. Then, you have to learn how that role positions and utilizes the map. Then you have to find an ideal team comp to play with - the list goes on, and on, and on. But what if the reliance on objectives was removed, and gameplay was streamlined down to a simple base race? That's what brand new mode Brawl hopes to do, and it's a welcome departure from the MOBA's traditional far...

Dead by Daylight thrives on its variety. From classic horror icons to internal, homebrewed heroes, every nightmare becomes a reality in Behaviour's asymmetric multiplayer game. But we're often too focused on the big names: Five Nights at Freddy's, Saw, Alien. Now, as part of the Steady Pulse update, developer Behaviour Interactive is announcing a much more low-key character, but they could end up being one of the best, and there's a huge update to The Archives, too.

How ye doing, Ken? Capcom's first fighting game collection, cleverly entitled Capcom Fighting Collection, saw a splendid assemblage of arcade classics put together by the Japanese giant, covering some of its very best coin-op releases of the 1990s and early noughties.

XCOM’s greatest trick is how it manages to make menus and numbers feel like life and death. The explosive gun battles of Cyberpunk 2077? The blow-out heists in GTA 5? No. The tensest experience in PC gaming is when your XCOM 2 Ranger has a 61% chance to hit an attacking Muton, which in turn is about to inflict six points of damage on your Sharpshooter. Blending the statistical tension of Firaxis’ finest with the scrounging, crafting, and apocalyptic aesthetic of survival games, if you’re hungry ...

Welp, it's finally happened. After many months of mainly murder related updates, Larian's stonker of an RPG has at last received its final major content update. Patch 8 - which you can read in full here - brings Photo Mode, full cross play, and 12 new subclasses to Baldur's Gate 3. That's one for each playable class, and likely at least six more than I'll ever reasonably experience. Still, a swarmkeeper ranger sounds very tempting. Yes the bees, is what I always say.
