PCGamesN Wednesday, January 3, 2024 7:48 AM  Baldur's Gate 3 is, somehow, once again rising on Steam.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 3, 2024 7:47 AM  What are the best clicker and idle games? Some interesting connotations come along with clicker games. Also known as 'incremental' or 'idle' games, the name betrays certain expectations: click your mouse, get a tiny reward, and repeat until you can make the process more efficient and lucrative. In most cases, a snowball effect accompanies your progress that makes your clicks more productive, hence the "incremental" moniker. Many games operate automatically even when you're not playing, which justifies the "idle" nickname. Clicker games manage to distill high-complexity concepts into a series of single clicks and automation, and while they might not be among the best PC games for their depth or storylines, clicker games are certainly among the most relaxing games for a calming few hours... or more.

CD Projekt RED initially confirmed the existence of a new game in The Witcher series via a press release in March 2022 and a title update in October 2022.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 3, 2024 6:05 AM  Is League of Legends Steam Deck compatible? If you want to play LoL without needing a gaming PC or laptop, you will be better off sticking to Wild Rift on mobile rather than getting it to run on the Steam Deck. That's not to say it isn't possible, but the setup process is convoluted, and the control layout is a pain to adjust.

The outfits system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, following months of pleading from the community. These outfits give you the chance to dress your favourite characters in brand-new clothes.
