The studio is small – currently with fewer than 10 people – but boasts a highly skilled and dedicated team, and is designed to prioritize the needs of its developers for long-term success.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a graphically intensive game that pushes the limits of smaller handheld devices like the ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw. Initially, the game didn’t run well on these systems. However, we’ve spent time adjusting the game settings to improve performance. This guide details those optimized settings, allowing you to enjoy a smoother gaming experience on your ROG Ally, Legion Go, or MSI Claw.
Phantom Blade Zero, a challenging action RPG in the style of the ‘Souls’ games, is packed with intense weapons, powerful finishing moves, and tough enemies – all the ingredients for a thrilling, if punishing, experience. After playing for an hour, filled with battles and inevitable defeats, I was left wondering how quickly I could call … Read more
Dominick John, the developer behind Project Shadowglass at Starhelm Studios, wants to be clear: this game isn’t made with AI. He’s building it in the Godot engine, and the results are impressive. It’s taking the kinds of short, AI-created game scenes you might have seen online and turning them into something much bigger and more detailed. John has shared several clips of the game, which he describes as a stealth-based immersive sim set in a dark fantasy world.
The collaboration between Final Fantasy 14 and Monster Hunter Wilds is progressing nicely, bringing Omega Planetes – a version of the recurring Final Fantasy super boss – into Capcom’s monster-hunting game. That’s neat. However, it’s not enough to overshadow the issues with the game’s performance on PC. Cool. But not cool enough to distract from PC performance woes.
Among the Elder Scrolls games, you can now play The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard with PC Game Pass Premium or PC Game Pass Ultimate. Originally released for MS-DOS in 1998, this game stands out in the RPG series because it’s the only one where you play as a specific character and experience the story from a fixed, third-person perspective. Despite the title, the game doesn’t take place in Hammerfell – the region many expect to be the setting of The Elder Scrolls 6. Instead, the story unfolds on Stros M’Kai, an island near the Redguard homeland.
Today I’m taking a look at two games: Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Firefighting Sim: Ignite. I didn’t initially expect to be playing a challenging, Souls-like game and a realistic firefighting simulator, but that’s what happened! Both games have been surprisingly good so far, based on my experience, even though these genres aren’t usually what I play.
The unexpected release of a remaster of Oblivion earlier this year felt like a good chance to address a missing piece in my gaming experience. I think I went into it more as a study than anything else. It wasn’t a feeling of wanting to revisit the past or a genuine desire to play – it felt more like a task. I felt I *should* play Oblivion because it’s a significant game I ought to experience, which is a bit circular in its reasoning. It might help me better analyze other RPGs, or perhaps I could finally understand a game I’d been aware of, but intentionally avoided, since it first came out almost twenty years ago; I wasn’t completely certain.
Although the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance is well-loved by RPG players, its sequel is a significant improvement. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been highly praised by both gamers and critics, and is now a leading candidate for Game of the Year. Players have commended Warhorse Studios for enhancing the combat, building a bigger and more detailed open world, and maintaining a remarkable level of realism. However, the sequel faces stiff competition from other strong contenders like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Blue Prince, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and several other deserving titles.
This basically means they will stop supporting those games on Windows 10 from now on.
