Nioh 3’s first DLC hits in August, brings new weapons, a trip to the (sort of) future, and there’s a mega-hard difficulty mode for the sickos

I will be truthful: if you grabbed me by the lapels and demanded I tell you when Nioh 3 came out, I would answer something along the lines of ‘the late 1980s’. The fact that the third Nioh—a rather good game, per our 90% Nioh 3 review—only released in February of this year feels like

Arc Raiders is changing its matchmaking again to fully soothe your self-defence fears

Over the past few months, Embark has been pulling some levers behind the scenes to improve Arc Raiders’ matchmaking. Despite the devs previously saying matchmaking wasn’t “binary,” it didn’t feel like that in practice. My solo lobbies were peaceful walks in the park, while trio lobbies were much more violent. From these experiments, “one change

Rockstar Games and GTA co-founder chimes in on the raging physical games debate: “If people want that, companies should provide it”

This topic has been raging ever since Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto 6 would not ship with a disc.

Stalker 2’s engine upgrade and first story expansion are due out in August

The week I spent in Chornobyl in Stalker 2’s pre-release review period is a demented blur in my memory at this point. I remember: gunfire randomly muting itself, multiple main quests that failed to progress until I ran about two kilometres away from them, bloodsuckers that required approximately 46,000 rounds to kill, and enemy corpses

During the panel, one fan asked whether future remake games are on the

Modder restores missing PS2-era visual effects to Metal Gear Solid 2, including ‘a ton of things that were literally left marked as BLUEPOINT TO-DO still in the source code’

I’ve said it before and, in all likelihood, will say it again several more times: one of the best things about PC gaming is that modders can come in long after a game has been set aside by its developers, and proceed to clean up all the nagging bugs and imperfections that continue to linger.
