PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 7:15 AM  Road to Vostok is a seriously impressive-looking survival game. Borrowing from Stalker, Fallout, and the mainstays of cruel wasteland gameplay, it's the opus of a single developer, the pseudonymous 'Antti,' and mixes sharp visuals, heavy gun mechanics, and rugged environments for what looks like an essential upcoming FPS. Tense, brutal, and realistic, a new Road to Vostok demo is available to play right now - or at least there's a new and improved version of Road to Vostok's demo, and you can get it today.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 6:41 AM  Videogame voice actors are coming out in protest of SAG-AFTRA's new AI voice agreement that the union claims is "fair" and "ethical," months after the colossal 2023 actors strike ended that saw issues over AI as one of the primary concerns from across all forms of entertainment. Many high-profile videogame actors from games like Starfield and Red Dead Redemption 2 are saying they, nor anyone they know, was broached about the agreement despite SAG-AFTRA claims that it was "approved by affected members of the union's voiceover performer community."

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 6:41 AM  Up until now, Razer was the only brand with wireless 8KHz gaming mice on the market, enabled through a special Hyperspeed dongle and software update released late last year. At CES 2024, multiple brands are now releasing high polling rate mice, but should this factor into what mouse you buy? We reviewed the Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed just after its 8KHz polling rate was enabled, and found it to be one of the best gaming mouse choices on the market as a result. In reality, the polling rate played a very small part in my overall enjoyment of the Viper V3, and that's simply because polling rates are not the game-changers they're advertised to be, yet. MSI, Cherry, and Asus ROG are now all throwing their 8KHz mice into battle, which still makes for some difficult decisions ahead.

The developer of the anime game always keeps its fans in the loop with regular Twitter posts and live streams, so you can plan where you want to spend your hard-earned primogems.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 6:06 AM  While we don't yet have benchmarks for the MSI Claw A1M, on paper, it appears to offer double the power of the Legion Go, ROG Ally, and Steam Deck. Taking this into account, and the fact it's the first Intel Core Ultra handheld to hit the market, an original price point may have been up for discussion. Instead, the MSI Claw falls into the safety of $699.99, the same as the Go and Ally, but more expensive than the Steam Deck OLED. Time - and rigorous testing - will tell whether or not the MSI Claw A1M can compete as one of the best handheld gaming PCs, but it's off to a strong start. Despite not matching the screen quality of the Steam Deck OLED, it can beat it for power, if the specs perform as advertised.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 6:03 AM  Amnesia The Bunker is terrifying already. It's not just the hulking, snarling monstrosity pursuing you through the eponymous World War I dugout. It's the sounds overhead, the flickering lights, the constant, encroaching dread and claustrophobia. I don't think I've ever played a game that so effectively makes you feel totally, paralyzingly alone. 2023 was a bumper year for survival horror games, thanks to Resident Evil 4 Remake, Dead Space Remake, and Alan Wake 2. But Amnesia The Bunker was the most frightening of them all - and it's just got way, way scarier, thanks to a transformative new mod that even has the blessing of the game's creative director.

With over 20 characters to pick from, you have options to pick between aggressive, defensive, or offensive Legends to build the perfect team. Your ideal Apex Legends pick could depend on your strengths and weaknesses; experience, game sense, movement skills, and aim all factor in, as does your squad composition and whether you're playing with friends or a team of strangers.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 5:40 AM  Is Roblox shutting down? There always seems to be a rumor that Roblox is going to shut down. Let's get one thing clear early on: anyone who tells you that Roblox is shutting down is incorrect. Roblox Corporation has tweeted confirmation that the game isn't going anywhere, so you can relax and get back to playing your favorite games. However, if you are curious to know where this rumor originated and how it got so big, we've done a little digging to uncover one of the sources of the speculation. With Roblox achieving a lifetime revenue of over $1 billion and over $70 million in payouts to creators, it would seem utterly ludicrous for the game to shut down.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 10, 2024 5:28 AM  When is the Skate 4 release date? While we've seen plenty of early footage of Skate 4 already, EA's upcoming Skate revival is a rare case of a triple-A studio showing off very early in-development footage of a game. Though we've seen plenty of Skate 4, we can also clearly see it's not ready yet. It's already been over a decade since the last Skate game, so we can hold on a little longer. The first Skate was among the most innovative skateboard games around, from its analog control scheme and semi open-world game structure to its more realistic, less edgy representation of the skating scene. The development team behind Skate 3 was disbanded after its release in 2010, and the series' community has been consistently bombarding EA message boards with questions about the series and its potential return ever since. Now, the team is very open about the development process for Skate 4, so here's what we know so far.
