Beyond Good & Evil 2’s troubled development was due to “passionate managers” not getting along, the series’ creator Michel Ancel has said.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have hit out at “AI slop” they believe has been used within the game and its promotional materials.

Katsuhiro Harada surprises me with a question of his own. I’ve spent the last half hour challenging the Tekken development chief to remember the first game’s launch on the original PlayStation over the course of 1995, first in Japan, then in Europe and North America. I’m not used to my interviewees turning the tables on […]
As much as Path of Exile 1 was lauded for its seemingly bottomless character customisation and its ability to keep voracious action role-playing game players fed, mentally, for months on end, there was no denying it could be a pain to get into. Playing it could feel like giving someone made entirely of elbows a […]
Gwent, the card game from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is finally getting a physical release.

The cult classic mobile RPG finally gets its due, for lovers of mechanics over story who can rise to the demands of its extreme challenge. It’s a bit surreal playing Fantasian with randomised Final Fantasy battle music. But it’s not unfitting. At one point I was in a fraught battle against a giant fiery salamander […]
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was in a bit of a state when it launched earlier this month, as developer GSC Game World was all too aware.

Planet Coaster 2’s flexible creation tools are as compulsive as ever, but the fun butts up against an exhausting UI, uninspired management gameplay, and conspicuous content gaps that feel like cynical spaces for DLC. I bloody love a theme park: the sights, the smells, the gleeful screams, the sense of utter transportation. But most of […]
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to overhaul stealth mechanics for both its dual protagonists, but will also include an option to allow insta-kill assassinations on all enemies.

What is an Xbox? It’s a pretty straightforward question, right? I’d define it as a custom piece of gaming technology, generally box-shaped, that typically sits in the lounge or bedroom.
