It’s been a bumpy old ride for THQ Nordic’s Saints Row reboot, but, now, after several months focused on bug fixes and improvements, developer Volition has confirmed the game’s first bit of paid story DLC, The Heist and The Hazardous, will arrive next Tuesday, 9th May. The Heist and The Hazardous, which was unveiled as part of Saints Row’s updated roadmap back in March, is the first of three promised content drops for the open-world crime caper’s paid Expansion Pass, bringing new story missions, events, cosmetics, and more. THQ Nordic still hasn’t shared much in the way…
Nintendo Switch blockbuster The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been ripped and uploaded to the internet, with pirated copies now passed around, and extensive sections of footage streamed and uploaded. Yesterday, Twitch and Discord streams showing footage of the game were available to view, two weeks ahead of the game’s official launch date, before eventually being pulled offline. It’s unclar where the leak originated, or how many copies have been made available. But while a small number of physical copies appearing in the wild may be a headache for Nintendo, the fact the game…
I hope you don’t mind if I get a little frank with you here. I’ve struggled to write this piece on Shadows of Doubt for several days. Not because I don’t know what to say – I know what I did and didn’t like during my time exploring several different generated cities – but because I’m not sure how to string together my thoughts on this game. And I think the reason why I’ve found it so hard is because I’m not sure Shadows of Doubt itself knows entirely what it wants to be. Shadows of Doubt Publisher:…
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players have encountered another irritating bug – and this one steals your XP. Many of you may have already come across the enemy Mogu, a big space troll thing that packs a punch. Trouble is, it turns out that the troll hits so hard, in some cases it smashes your XP clean off – or into – the map so that you can’t recover it. Let’s Play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor! In a reddit post entitled “don’t die to this troll, he eats your XP”, u/slaymaker1907 reports that there “seems to be a bug where…
Capcom has warned that players who “access” Street Fighter 6 “outside of the [beta] designated period” may be banned from competitive play.

As Star Wars Jedi: Survivor continues to rack up negative reviews on Steam for its PC performance issues, EA has released a statement to purchasers saying it’s “aware [the game] isn’t performing to our standards” and insisting it’s “committed to fixing these issues”. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor recieved a favourable critical reception earlier this week – Eurogamer called it “really fun” despite a “lack of focus” – but reports of serious PC performance problems soon emerged following today’s launch. Currently, the game has a “mostly negative” rating on Steam, with users highlighting poor frame rates, crashes, and more. …
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is readying to reach even further into the series’ past with the announcement of its Return of Rome DLC, a “new form” of the original Age of Empires’ Rise of Rome expansion that’s coming to PC and consoles on 16th May. There’s quite a lot going on in Rise of Rome – which purchasers will need to switch to from the main screen in order to access its new stuff – but the most notable addition for series fans is arguably the return of all 16 civilisations from the original Age of…
I am all thumbs, so I’m pretty sure it’s my fault that I found Dungeon Drafters a bit fiddly at first. I had trouble selecting things and unselecting things and I made a lot of moves when I thought I was just exploring the UI. Anyway, I stuck with it because the game is so beautiful, with such a lovely pastel colour scheme for its pixelly doll’s house landscapes. I’m glad I did. A few hours in, I’m finding it much less fiddly, and I’m also pretty much hooked. Dungeon Drafters Publisher: Dangen Entertainment Developer: Manalith Studio, Dangen Entertainment…
The setting sun dyes the sky a soft orange as Link glides through the air. Far beneath his dangling feet, Hyrule lies almost forgotten as my focus is fully set on the collection of islands scattered across the horizon. One in particular catches my eye – a small island adorned with a tower, which seems to hail from a lost civilization, and, lying at its feet, a pool of water. Carefully I manoeuvre Link above this pool and, when the time is right, send him diving down to the floating isle. Somehow, even high in the heavens, fish swim in…
