Voice and motion capture actor Neil Newbon, known to fans of Baldur's Gate 3 as Astarion, is streaming a co-op let's play of Baldur's Gate 3 alongside friend and horror writer-director Tom de Ville. As they stream they laugh along to the game, and yeah, Newbon does The Astarion Voice a lot when he's in control of, you know, the...
One of the best of the many first-person puzzlers that followed in Portal's wake, The Talos Principle offered what felt like a complete experience. The possibility space of its puzzles—tools that you'd move around to overcome environmental obstacles—was thoroughly explored. And its story—a kind of meditation on the nature...
My hands-off demo starts with a short boot-up sequence that mimics the style, architecture and puzzles of the original game. It's after this that The Talos Principle 2 reveals the ace up its sleeve. You are born into the world—the 1,000th citizen of the city of New Jerusalem, and, according to the rules of their society, also...
Starfield players continue to push the game—and their computers–to the limit by spawning thousands of items in inappropriate places, like stuffing 20,000 potatoes in a spaceship. Watching potatoes roll out of an air lock is great, but what if you could watch 10,000 milk cartons descend onto a population zone like a lactic...
The mind behind all those weird RPG skits has a succulent take on Starfield....
Bethesda's latest can't help but feel shallow by comparison.
This certainly isn’t what I expected. The troubled Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which I’d just about given up on, is now set to release next fall, over four years after its initial intended launch. Paradox Interactive has tapped The Chinese Room, developer of Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, as...
Interestingly, the demo was apparently running ray traced visuals, and was utilising Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) in order to offer playable frame rates that will make enabling such fancy effects actually worthwhile.
Donald Mustard may not be the most well-known name in gaming, but he's definitely one of the most influential. For the past seven years he's been the chief creative officer at Epic Games and "Loremaster of Fortnite"—the big hand on the wheel of one of the biggest videogame phenomena of all time. But soon that era will come to...
You probably already know what I'm talking about here: that thing where you're in the middle of dialogue with an NPC, but the rest of the scene has chosen not to cooperate. It's a common feature of RPGs, but it shows up extra often in Bethesda games, and of course has returned in Starfield. I can't get enough of it....
The new Rust update makes life in the sky a lot more interesting....
There are some great 30 minute dungeon runs in your future if you've got tolerance for—or enjoy—old school tropes....
Star Trek: Infinite mashes Stellaris and Star Trek together into something more delicious than anything you can get out of a replicator....

Starfield unlocked on August 31 for Premium and Constellation Edition owners. The game is categorized as playable on Steam Deck, however, it is not yet Steam Deck Verified, the highest stamp of approval from Valve that designates games that play well on Deck "right out of the box."...
Hopefully Haunted Chocolatier content is also welcome here!
Eric Barone says he has lots more images from his new game to share, but right now he's focused on Stardew Valley 1.6....

Several years ago PCG reported on the early stages of a project by programmer James Lambert, who really loves the N64 and decided for the hell of it to make a version of Portal that runs on hardware first released in 1996....
Japanese gamers have continued to embrace the PC as a platform at staggering rates, jumping up 43% from 131.3 billion yen to 189.2 billion yen in 2022. That's a total size of about $1.3 billion US. The data comes from the latest report by Kadokawa ASCII Research Laboratories, an industry think tank which compiles yearly material...
