Marvel Tōkon beta start time and everything you’ll be able to play

I’m not usually a fighting game person, but Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is my jam. Partly because it’s superheroes, partly because it looks absolutely beautiful. And with the Marvel Tōkon beta dates coming up, our chance to finally play it is almost here—the previous playtest was exclusive to PS5, the greedy buggers. Below, I’ll go […]

The Elder Scrolls Online is already feeling the impact of Xbox’s layoffs, ironically hurting the cash shop

Earlier this month, Microsoft gutted The Elder Scrolls Online, with 379 staff across ZeniMax gone. And this is the second time it’s happened in two years. As Harvey and I put it a few weeks ago, ESO’s developers deserved better. The developer, now claiming to be the same size it was 10 years ago (similar

Arc Raiders’ matchmaking optimisation is live as Embark warns players they may experience longer queues than usual ‘since it’s now working harder’

The biggest thing to happen in Arc Raiders recently (if you don’t count the Expedition near miss) was Embark’s decision to rework the matchmaking to be more attuned to players’ actions in solo, duo, and trio queues. The only problem with having better matchmaking is having to wait a bit longer in queue for the

Blizzard’s calling time on Overwatch’s hero customising Stadium mode, and I may well be the only person that’s sad about that

Stadium isn’t a MOBA – don’t be fooled by that. There are no lanes or PvE enemies or anything of the kind. The MOBA link relates to abilities and equipment you buy for your character between rounds in order to power them up. That’s especially notable because you don’t do this anywhere else in Overwatch;

ZeroSpace is an impressively ambitious RTS-RPG featuring a Helldivers 2-inspired Galactic War, but the streamer pandering is a real bummer

It’s dangerous to get too excited about a new RTS. Just look at what happened to Stormgate. So I’ve been cautious with ZeroSpace. It’s an RTS built in the classic mould—think StarCraft 2—featuring proper basebuilding and potent hero units. So far, pretty familiar. But there’s more. ZeroSpace also boasts an RPG campaign with dialogue trees

I’m very into this Papers, Please-esque puzzle game about identifying traitors to the socialist motherland

Citizens! We live in times of unprecedented danger! We are beset on all sides by traitors and saboteurs. Reactionaries whisper treason in dimly lit rooms. Their mouths spew poison and lies that eat away at the foundations of the worker-peasant revolution, at the root of the world revolution itself. And, worst of all, no one

Splatoon Raiders review

One of the micro-trends I’ve been happiest to spot in the last few years is Nintendo’s embracing of what you could term apocalyptic simplicity. And by micro-trends, I mean this: I’ve spotted it in just two games. The first of these was Donkey Kong Bananza, a wonderfully propulsive beat-’em-up in which the ’em you were
