PCGamesN Wednesday, May 28, 2025 5:51 AM Escape From Tarkov, The Forest, and DayZ are renowned as the toughest, most brutal survival games on PC, but frankly, their respective hardships pale in comparison to Roadcraft. Yesterday, I spent two real hours constructing approximately 200 feet of improvised asphalt trail, just so I could comfortably extract a delivery of steel beams from my quarry. Now, that's videogaming. However, Saber's realistic driving and hauling sim has so far been beset by a couple of experience-ruining issues. Every Roadcraft player dreads using the paving machine. Likewise, we've all run afoul of the…questionable convoy AI. The new Roadcraft update targets these issues directly. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Roadcraft review, Best sandbox games, Best simulation games |

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 28, 2025 5:40 AM With scarce supply since launch, it's been hard to buy an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 even at its already-expensive MSRP, but stock is now settling down in Europe, enabling you to get hold of the fastest GPU in the world for an even lower price than you would expect. In fact, if you live in the UK, you can currently pick one up for less than the launch price. Although this monster Nvidia GPU is firmly targeted at gamers with deep pockets, it's also undoubtedly the best graphics card you can buy right now if performance is your top priority. In my Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 review, it put every other GPU to shame, thanks to its huge 32GB frame buffer and massive GPU packed with 21,760 CUDA cores.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 28, 2025 5:13 AM What are the best skateboard games?

Bright 'n' cheery skateboarding game OlliOlli World and dystopian rollerskate shooter Rollerdrome both vanished in a cloud of toxic corporate smoke in February this year, some time after the closure of the games' developers Roll7.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 28, 2025 4:46 AM  Reader, I'm getting some serious de ja vu from the the poster for Liberation Escape Rooms 'Castle Of Conundrums' experience, but I'm having trouble placing it. I don't think I've been to this escape room before, never having visited the town of Southaven, Mississippi. Perhaps I should go? The reviews are positively glowing. "Very exciting and unique escape rooms," writes Anna R. Five stars! "Today's game in the Castle just blew us away," enthuses Tracey S. Five stars again! An unmissable experience by all accounts. And yet, I'd feel woefully unequiped to take on the Castle Of Conundrums if I cannot solve the much more pressing conundrum at hand. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 28, 2025 4:14 AM  "The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne," wrote Chaucer. But you'd trained hard with that crossbow, and let any man in bolting distance try to claim you hadn't mastered it. You never wanted to go to war, but the crops were failing, you'd just lost your seventeenth child to medium-pox, and dark portents swirled on the horizon like curdled goat's milk. Also, the actual goat's milk was curdling. In that tent, you'd communed with angels, and the righteous fury of all the heavens coursed through every fibre of your being. You'd likely die today, you knew. But you'd die knowing you did all you could to put this fair kingdom to rights. You step outside, breathe deep the morning air, and immediately eat a point blank pump-action shotgun to the torso. Then you lose both your legs to the tank shell. Then someone runs over your corpse with a dirtbike. Bloody typical. |

Somehow, someway, people are getting retail versions of the Nintendo Switch 2 a week ahead of launch, but upon turning on the system, they have found out that they are unable to play any games on it due to the system needing a day one patch to work, including using physical games.
This has led to an uproar among fans on social media about Nintendo locking the console's basic features behind a day one update, though, equally, it means Nintendo has stopped games like Mario Kart World from leaking at all until day one by using this method.
Most of the arguments stem from the console being locked entirely until you update it and if you don't have an internet connection, your buying a brick at launch, though, I feel the argument is being taken further then it should be, especially with the PS5 won't let you use the disk drive until you update it online, and the Series X having similiar download gate keeping at launch.
After the initial day one update, you'll be free to use the Switch 2 as intended. It's about getting over that initial hurdle. Approximately 93% of the US population has internet access, and most major cities and towns have some form of public internet, even if it's slow. So surely there are a lot of options?
I'm aware that outside of the US and other countries, there are places you can buy the console reasonably, but internet speed and connection aren't as great as in other parts of the world, but I feel like there has to be some workaround, surely?
I also feel like if you can afford to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 and its games, then surely you can source some form of internet, either at an internet cafe, coffee shop, friends, family, etc. It feels baffling to me that this remains an issue. But perhaps I'm more disillusioned than I care to admit. But I made this story to try and gauge if it's just a me thing, feeling this way, or if others share the same sentiment, or can give me a different viewpoint on where this outrage is coming from.
Let me know in the comments down below.
