PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 7:53 AM  4X games can be daunting, and the genre's high barrier for entry is normally enough to deter many from even getting started. Ara: History Untold doesn't subscribe to that notion, despite its gargantuan scope suggesting otherwise. I played Oxide's latest at Gamescom and quickly settled into its rhythms.

PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 7:36 AM  Even though I'm still a Sprout 400 hours in, I know Final Fantasy 14 would benefit from more quality-of-life features. Dawntrail brought improved graphics and the two-dye system, but the MMO's avenues for communication could use work. I'm always staring at the chat box, be that milling around Limsa or in the midst of a tough trial, and Square Enix just showed off multiple ways it's looking to improve how we talk in-game.

PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 7:25 AM  What's the best story in gaming? The Witcher, Metal Gear Solid, Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption - the list goes on, and you'll find different answers at every turn. But for me, it's tough to top the Yakuza games. The series has adopted the Japanese 'Like a Dragon' moniker since Yakuza 7, but prior to that we got a full seven-game series (including the masterful Yakuza 0) covering the extensive career of Kazuma Kiryu, one of the most eminently lovable protagonists in anything. If you've yet to experience his tale, now is the perfect time, as you can grab the full thing at a huge discount if you're fast.

PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 6:39 AM  Of all the many new PC games I saw at Gamescom 2024, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is among those that surprised me most. Following on from developer Aesir Interactive's Police Simulator, the upcoming simulation game shifts across to another essential emergency service - the rapid response life of an ambulance paramedic. You're in charge of answering calls, diagnosing the situation, providing initial treatment, and making sure to get the patient back to hospital in time to give them the best chance of survival, and it's a remarkably compelling experience, especially as the stakes rack up.

PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 6:24 AM  In a genre as saturated as FPS games, it can be hard to stand out from the pack. TiMi and Team Jade's hugely anticipated Delta Force bears more than a passing resemblance to EA's Battlefield 2042, but I still came away from my hands-on Gamescom preview both willing it to - and hopeful that it can - step out from behind the shadow of the genre's titans.

PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 5:51 AM  After a long wait, Baldur's Gate 3 patch 7 is finally almost here. Between constant updates from Larian and the steady stream of mods from the community, BG3 hasn't just been a testament to a studio that understands its players, but also a game that can easily go the distance. With that said, Larian finally reveals when we can expect the last major patch, modding toolkit and all, and we don't have long to wait. Continue reading Larian finally confirms that Baldur's Gate 3 patch 7 is imminent MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Baldur's Gate 3 builds, BG3 mods, Baldur's Gate 3 classes |

PCGamesN Sunday, September 1, 2024 6:26 AM  I've been enamored with Avowed ever since developer Obsidian released its first piece of key art. Adorned in swatches of color that wouldn't be out of place on my favorite tattoo artist's Instagram page, The Outer Worlds studio's take on medieval tales ditches the distilled gray and steel tones of Skyrim for something altogether different. Sitting down to play the game at Gamescom, I'm hoping it'll evoke the feeling of awe its art evokes.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, September 1, 2024 6:00 AM  Sundays are for more cat. She's reached the "follow me into the bathroom when I go downstairs at night for a wee" stage, but still won't come upstairs - which means I have to leave her alone for long periods while I work, which makes me feel bad. Before I unsuccessfully arrange yet more treats on the stairs, let's read this week's best writing about games (and game related things!) |
