Crimson Desert’s 2.0 update’s most surprising change is an effort to make Kliff a fully realised character with thoughts and opinions

Metro 2039 takes us back to Moscow, but it’s still got some delicious bits of Exodus in there

Isn’t it always the way? You spend so long yearning to leave home, to strike out and make a go of it all by yourself, but the second you step foot out the door you start missing it. All of it. The camaraderie and the rows, the shared meals and the constant, privacy-smothering proximity, and—of

Synths, impossible physics, and an “erotic experience with a PS5 controller” – the side projects of game devs are a reminder creativity is undimmable
