Key Preview Takeaways: You don’t build with individual bricks; instead, you assemble your city with pre-fabricated buildings however you see fit. It’s cozy and chill, but not entirely so, as your citizens will still present you problems that need solving. There are plenty of deeper gameplay...

As you'd expect from a space opera RPG that shares many similarties with Mass Effect, the upcoming Exodus from developer Archetype Entertainment has character relationships that you can build through dialogue choices, interactions, and decisions they make. This includes romance options; while...

Nintendo has announced a pair of Nintendo Direct broadcasts for next week, including a dedicated Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary showcase. The Zelda Direct will air on Tuesday, September 8 at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK time, and last 30 minutes. Expect updates on the Zelda franchise...

Making a live service game these days feels like trying to shoot an arrow at a flea while blindfolded. Striking gold with a hot new shooter or other team-based multiplayer game with a quirky twist seems like an exercise in futility, but that isn't stopping developers and publishers from trying...

Last week, in the wake of a rash of developer hardware thefts at this year's Gamescom, the event's organizers provoked a wave of outcry by publishing a statement that many perceived as callously placing the blame on exhibitors who hadn't adequately insured their equipment. Today, Gamescom...

As I'm making my way through the beginning of two-player co-op adventure Age Twisters alongside the founders of developer Piccolo Studios, I'm told the goal was to create a game that evokes the same feelings as watching a Pixar movie with your child. Now I am admittedly sprogless, but it wasn't...

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine looks set to follow Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool in co-owning an English football team. Jackman has long been a fan of Norwich City F.C., a second-tier squad from the east of England nicknamed the Canaries, which has spent the last few decades continually on the bubble of...

As a big fan of Mass Effect and its various romanceable companions, I wanted to put the record straight on the ins and outs of Exodus’ sex scenes. After all, Exodus looks and feels a lot like Mass Effect. It’s even developed by some of the brains behind BioWare’s much-loved sci-fi RPG franchise...

Key Preview Takeaways: Exodus’s space-opera vibes immediately reminded me of Mass Effect, and that seems to be on purpose. Its Paladin/Immortal morality system reflects the Paragon/Renegade system, but it's going for something deeper than just good/evil and is centered around preserving...

Your first impression of Exodus was probably, "Oh, this looks like Mass Effect." And narrative director Drew Karpyshyn, who was a narrative lead on BioWare's legendary space opera RPG series, told me, "It's a perfectly fine way to wrap your head around it." He'd love for Exodus to be regarded in...

What are you doing across Monday 7th to Tuesday 8th September? If your answer isn't "weaving sick rhymes for PlayStation's former indie gaming boss Shuhei Yoshida and original TIGsource founder Jordan Magnuson", then begone, for we are no longer friends. Read more Continue reading...

If you happen to pick up a copy of NBA 2K27, in your eagerness to try out the first official implementation of Nvidia's DLSS 5 AI image tech, you won't find it labelled as such in the settings menu. Instead, it appears as a simple on/off toggle under the label "DLSS Neural Rendering." And while...

RTX 5060 Ti | 16 GB: $569.99 While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the RTX 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the RTX 5060 Ti a surprisingly big boost. It's probably not worth paying significantly over the MSRP to bag one, though, especially when the RX 9070...

As pretty as Cities: Skylines is, getting a read on your city's problems can take some digging. While traffic jams are immediately visible, prompting you to start reorganising the layout of your streets and bypasses, other issues only make themselves known when you switch on overlays or bring up...

If there's one thing you should never underestimate, it's a gamer's love for completing little tasks. Whether it's battle passes, meaningless fetch quests, or in Arc Raiders' case, its expeditions. There's just the right amount of dopamine involved for a neuron activation, so you best bet that...

This controller is comfy, responsive, and all its various buttons, sticks, and triggers feel very high-quality. There's little to dislike about the Valor Pro unless you really don't want to keep that cable. This is a great price for a Scuf controller, too. Key Specs: Wired USB Type-C | Xbox...

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the latest victim of the dreaded AAA videogame disease: Padded Runtime Via Unsatisfying Upgrade Materials. It could be a lot worse: thankfully there's no level gating in Onimusha that requires you to accrue an arbitrary set of stats before you can tackle a...

Coen, the half-man and half-vampire protagonist of The Blood of Dawnwalker, doesn’t like chomping down on rats. I know this because he’s told me multiple times, after I’ve made him slurpily drain a rodent like it’s a furry Frube (other brands of tubed yoghurt are available). Sometimes he...

PUBG — the battle royale that popularized the genre — already has a number of spinoffs. But none is as love it or hate it as DED.NET. Like PUBG, DED.NET is a multiplayer first-person shooter that revolves around outlasting your enemies, but there are a number of key differences. Chief among...
