Like a lot of survival games, Stalker 2 had a long journey from janky larva to playable, easily recommended butterfly. It's tempting to say that these games ought to just stay under wraps until they're done and relatively bug-free—but at Gamescom 2026, GSC Game World CEO and head of game...

Resident Evil director Zach Cregger has said he feels like he’s been on an “apology tour” while navigating skepticism from some fans about his movie adaptation of Capcom’s horror franchise. Cregger, director of hugely popular horror movies Barbarian and Weapons, has faced scrutiny from Resident...

Listen, I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little biased towards parry-based action games. Sekiro will forever be my favourite FromSoftware game because of just how excellently it captured the back-and-forth feeling of swordplay, not only with its timed deflection mechanic, but its mandate to...

Any time you look at or talk about Exodus, the upcoming space opera RPG from Archetype Entertainment, the Mass Effect comparisons start flying at light speed. I mean, Exodus narrative director Drew Karpyshyn played a major role as a writer and lead at BioWare to shape the stories of its biggest...

Warning: This review contains full spoilers for Lanterns Season 1, Episode 4! Lanterns sure left us hanging these past couple of weeks, ending Episode 2 with the debut of Ulrich Thomsen’s Sinestro and then pivoting away to tell a flashback storyline in Episode 3 (a great flashback storyline...

I stand knee deep in a pool of blood. My coworkers, comrades, and friends reduced to food for soulless seagulls. Give a man a fish and he may throw it into the mouth of a weary fisherman, teach a man to fish and he shall bring forth the wrath of a spider crab who knows how to stab you with your...

Immersive sims like Deus Ex and Dishonored are among the hardest kinds of games to make, so I always try to be supportive when an indie developer takes on the absurd challenge of creating one. Yet while there have been some good examples in recent years like Skin Deep and New Blood's early...

League of Legends developer Riot Games is still bashing away on its MMO, which co-founder Mark Merrill recently described as the studio’s “grail quest.” Riot announced its MMO five years ago, in August 2021. Since then it’s seen a number of changes and various high-profile developers exit the...

A custom pre-built gaming PC like the Skytech Gaming Blaze 5 is going to save you a lot of work if you’re not technically savvy or simply don’t have the patience to put together a modern-day puzzle. With its Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card and AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, you’re getting solid...

I was largely nonplussed by Gamescom's Opening Night Live, particularly its relentless barrage of identikit fantasy action games that I struggled to tell apart. But one game stood out like a rat-powered computer in an elven glade, and that was Ontos, Frictional Games' latest horror...

Despite more than a year of updates and at least one massive overhaul, Civilization 7 remains as stubbornly divisive as ever. May's enormous Test of Time update brought significant mechanical reworks and a fresh influx of players to Firaxis' latest entry in the 4X series. But with Steam reviews...

Sundays are for luxuriating in the chill of the September air and hoping for more of the drenching rain that's ended the summer heat. Though, it's a luxuriating that's quickly pierced by the worry that we've seen the last warm weather of the year. Winter isn't far off and all the gaps around the...

Welcome back to Make My MMO, MOP’s long-running column where we keep track of crowdfunded MMOs, both brand-new titles just starting their campaigns and older games long past their fundraising! Raph Koster sandbox Stars Reach officially launched into early access a few weeks back, and it’s been…...

Someone over at NCsoft walked over to Lineage II, tapped it solidly on its hood, and exclaimed that this baby can hold so many server types. That’s right, in addition to Live, Classic, Aden, Wolf, and Samurai, the MMORPG is going to open another new server on Tuesday, September 15th. This...

Star Wars Galaxies was actually one of the first MMORPGs to offer randomized, repeatable content through its mission system, so you might be surprised to hear that the current dev team behind the Star Wars Galaxies Legends rogue server is currently working on repeatable content that goes way...

Having finished terraforming her first planet, Massively OP’s MJ is ready to move on to her next challenge in Planet Crafter. Instead of trusting herself to those who condemned her to the desolate planet or pay so-called pirates, she intends to travel to a new place on her own terms via her own...

After the huge effort that was Mines of Moria, Lord of the Rings Online’s second expansion felt like a serious downgrade in scope, features, and content. Actually, that wasn’t some sort of subjective feeling — it objectively was a much smaller expansion. That didn’t sit right with a lot of...

If you’ve been hankerin’ for more Ultima Online: New Legacy, aka the alternative ruleset server, you were probably eagerly waiting to learn when its Season 2 would start in the fall. Well, now we have a hard calendar date: Thursday, October 15th. Information on just what this next season is...

The Wolf has been here before your species descended from the trees and it will be here long after you are dust. The Wolf will eat your sheep. The Wolf is tough, but fair. The Wolf is most active when you are not watching. The Wolf will eat your cattle. The Wolf can hear you (…) Image source...

At first, I almost dismissed this question as completely rhetorical. After all, doesn’t everyone have more free time during the weekends and would therefore game more then? But upon further reflection, I didn’t think this to be the default case for everyone. Maybe some of us set aside weekends...
