Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)

Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.

Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...
 

After Us Review (PS5)

After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.

A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...
 

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...
 

Latest Steam Beta Makes Major Overhaul to the In-game Overlay

Watch YouTube, take notes, chat, and more.

Valve just released a new beta update for Steam that includes a wealth of new features, updated old features, and some under the hood changes. While we don't typically write about updates released for the Steam Client Beta, this particular update had enough cool new features that it was worth a mention.

Right now, you can opt into the new beta for the Steam client that makes some drastic changes to the In-Game Overlay. Now, you...
 

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

    Hidden Deep is Now Available

    Just how many different phobias do you have?

    The one-man development studio that makes up Cogwheel Software just released a new sci-fi thriller, Hidden Deep. Today's release is a Steam Early Access release, but it seems to be quite polished from what I've seen so far. Still, the game will continue to receive new content updates and patches as the Early Access rolls on.

    The core idea of the game is that you are controlling a recon team sent into a claustrophobic underground...

    PvP for All Dark Souls Games Now Disabled on PC

    This comes a day after reports of a severe exploit that could allow full access to victim's PCs were shared online.

    Just a day ago, a severe remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the PC multiplayer component for Dark Souls 3 was shared online. The person that discovered the exploit used it against a few different streamers, including The__Grim__Sleeper, in order to raise awareness to the issue. The person that discovered the vulnerability supposedly informed developer FromSoftware...

    Steam Deck Now Supports Easy Anti-Cheat

    Valve has been working with Epic to get Easy Anti-Cheat working on Steam Deck.

    Valve continues to address some outstanding concerns concerning the Steam Deck. One of those issues is the fact that some of the most popular anti-cheat services didn't exactly play nice with Proton or the Steam Deck. However, thanks to efforts by Valve and other major players in the industry, the two most popular anti-cheat services are now capable of playing nice with Proton and the Steam Deck.

    Modders Get Final Fantasy 7 Running at 60FPS After 25 Years

    A major breakthrough on the mod scene just took place to offer silky smooth gameplay.

    Roughly a quarter of a century ago (good God), Final Fantasy VII was released on the PC platform. However, the PC port of the game ran at just 15 frames per second.

    While a lot of the action and animation in Final Fantasy VII for the original PlayStation release was also at a sub-optimal framerate, there is one thing the OG had going for it that the PC version lacked: The menus all ran...

    DICE Disables Official XP Farm in Battlefield 2042

    How it was ever approved in the first place is beyond me.

    Alongside yesterday's update for Battlefield 2042 came the usual new rotation of official Battlefield Portal experiences. One of those officially created and promoted modes was called Zombie Survival. In this mode, you were facing off against hordes of A.I. controlled "zombies" that were equipped only with knives. Your goal was to survive for as long as possible.

    There was just one problem: This mode made...

    Best RPG Slot Games


    For decades, the element of pure randomness has characterised slot machines. It has been a case of hitting the spin and waiting for the lucky turn! However, young gamers are progressively demanding a more complex gaming experience. Software developers have equally responded by creating stimulating games with immersive storylines and compelling level-up approaches. The story-based and progression orientation to games creation has led to the rising popularity of role-playing slot games or...

    The First Batch of Games to be Steam Deck Verified are Here

    The first batch of many, many more to come.

    With the Steam Deck set to begin shipping by the end of February, we sort of expected that we would soon see the first games to be Steam Deck Verified. Lo and behold, those first games have started to crop up.

    While these games may not show their Verified status on their Store pages (though there is a workaround, which we talk about below), the SteamDB website is able to track these verifications as they happen. Right now, the...

    Microsoft Has a Desire to Continue Releasing Call of Duty on PlayStation

    Well, at least for now.

    After news broke about Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard, Call of Duty fans on PlayStation started to get a little antsy. What would happen to their favorite FPS franchise on the Sony platform? Would they have to make the leap to Xbox to continue playing?

    After all, after Microsoft acquired Bethesda Softworks last year, it was revealed that Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 would be Xbox console exclusives. Call of Duty fans had that as a...

    EA Considering Free-to-Play Option for Battlefield 2042

    EA is apparently disappointed with how poor Battlefield 2042 is performing.

    According to leaker Tom Henderson, EA is pretty disappointed with how Battlefield 2042 is performing. Henderson says that the publisher is now "looking at all the options" when it comes to the game. This includes the possibility that the game will go the route of a free-to-play title, at least in some capacity.

    Henderson failed to elaborate on these remarks and says he'll have "more...

    Halo Infinite Big Team Battle Fix Doesn't Work

    Today's update may have actually made things worse for other game types.

    Last week, 343 Industries said that they hoped to release an update this week that they hoped would address the ongoing matchmaking issues with the Big Team Battle mode. Well, that update was released today and it did not help. In fact, today's update seems to have made matchmaking issues crop up in the other game modes that weren't there previously.

    Early in 2021, Terraria owners on non-Switch platforms received the massive Journey's End update. This update seems to have added over 1,000 new items to find and craft, new bosses, and final passes for balance, graphical quality, and mechanics. It was at that point that the developers considered the game to be called "complete."

    There is no end in sight.

    TSMC is about to raise their prices for the chips they manufacturer and send to all sorts of tech companies. This means that CPU and GPU prices are going up.

  • What June 2023 Games Releases Will You Buy?
    by Shawn Zipay
    It's a fairly stacked month.

    May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.

    There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....
