DragonSword: Awakening has one of the strangest comeback stories we have seen from an anime action RPG in quite some time. What started as a Korean free-to-play live service was rebuilt into a premium PC game, stripped of its gacha systems and released on Steam after surviving a legal attempt to stop its launch. Against the odds, the gamble has paid off. Developed by Hound13, DragonSword: Awakening now offers its colourful open world, large roster of heroes and fast tag-team combat...

Crime simulators are having a serious moment, and Dirty Business has arrived ready to build an entire underground empire. Developed by Plan Dirty Games, this first-person management game launched in Early Access with solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Instead of limiting players to a single illegal operation, it throws drugs, weapons, counterfeit money, employees and large-scale deliveries into one increasingly chaotic criminal business. The obvious comparison is Schedule I, the hugely popular crime simulator that...

In this narrative adventure, players step into the shoes of an ordinary postman caught in the middle of a sudden catastrophic apocalypse. However, the disaster grants him an extraordinary ability: direct control over the flow of time itself.

IO Interactive has deployed the game's first major post-launch update, giving aspiring secret agents a fresh batch of high-risk assignments, new hardware to unlock, a sharp new outfit, and a sweeping round of fixes that smooth out the experience from start to finish.

Sometimes the biggest enemy in an online game is everyone trying to log in at the same time. That's exactly what PlayStation players experienced shortly after the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls open beta went live, as the PlayStation Network (PSN) was hit by widespread connectivity issues that left countless fans staring at error messages instead of superhero showdowns. The massive anticipation for the beta has been underestimated The problems surfaced only hours after the beta launched on PlayStation 5 and PC, with...

Palworld’s massive 1.0 launch is starting to look like much more than a quick nostalgia-fuelled comeback. Instead of reaching its highest player count during launch weekend and immediately sliding down the Steam charts, Pocketpair’s survival hit attracted even more players during its second weekend—and reportedly sold another 1.8 million copies in the process. That is a seriously impressive result for a game that originally exploded onto the scene in Early Access back in January 2024. Many players had already spent dozens,...

ARC Raiders has rolled out Store Update 1.38.0 across every platform, and while it is smaller than a full content drop, it could make a noticeable difference to everyday raids. The headline change is a new round of matchmaking optimization, with Embark Studios testing adjustments designed to create fairer and more enjoyable encounters. The update also marks the latest Expedition Departure and adds two fresh color options for an existing outfit. Matchmaking is easily the most interesting part of the...

If Dragon Ball has taught fans anything over the years, it's that there's always another transformation waiting around the corner. Just when Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO seemed to have exhausted its supply of power-ups, Bandai Namco has announced Super Limit-Breaking NEO, a huge new DLC arriving on July 30 that expands the game's roster, introduces a brand-new single-player experience, and shakes up battles with fresh mechanics. Many new fighters and more! Rather than simply dropping a handful of new fighters into the...

When Star Wars Zero Company was first revealed, plenty of strategy fans immediately drew comparisons to XCOM. That's hardly surprising, considering the game is being developed by Bit Reactor, a studio packed with former Firaxis veterans. But as more details emerge, it's becoming increasingly clear that this isn't trying to be XCOM 3 with lightsabers. Instead, Star Wars Zero Company is carving out for itself an identity that's far more focused on telling a single, carefully crafted Star Wars story. Linear...

If you are tired of saving the world in every action title and want to unleash absolute chaos instead, then Aberrant Labs and publisher Slug Disco have just dropped the perfect game for you. Pathogenic is an intense 2D twin-stick roguelike shooter where you play as a ruthless parasite fighting to completely overtake a human host. Forget fighting dragons or alien fleets (like in Nova Drift, for example). In Pathogenic, your enemies are aggressive white blood cells, lethal T-cells, giant...
