Despite all that, GSC persevered and Stalker 2 is here, even […]
Arkane founder and Dishonored co-creative directorRaphaël Colantonio says the Metacritic scoring ecosystem encourages devs to make “safe, boring games,” while launches like Stalker 2 suffer in overall scoring at launch due to bugs and technical problems. Colantonio calls lower launch scores impacted by bugs “misleading” because these technical issues can be fixed further down the line, […]

Gaming has a fascination with the apocalypse, and it’s easy to see why. The wasteland offers a fresh start, a wiping clean of the slate, while also letting you comb through the remnants of the world that’s gone before.

Just as we hit one of the busiest times of year for games, a massive influx of free game promotions has also begun. MSI is back at it again, this time offering free copies of Stalker 2 to anyone who buys a product from its new limited edition game-branded product line. This includes all sorts […]
I can’t quite believe it, but Fallout New Vegas is 14 years old. It’s by far the best game in the series, with some truly sublime world building and decision making. After all this time it’s safe to assume that, if you’re reading this, you’ve seen all the RPG has to offer. Every rock, casino […]
