Kotaku Sunday, June 22, 2025 9:00 AM  CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 has made the leap to Switch 2 in a very impressive port. If you're just now playing it for the first time, you may find the sheer number of gigs and side jobs cluttering up your map downright overwhelming, but don't worry; we're here to help you find the cream of the crop.

PCGamesN Sunday, June 22, 2025 9:33 AM Whether Diablo 4, Path of Exile 2, Last Epoch, or another ARPG is your current favorite, there's no question that we've been spoiled for choice of late when it comes to smashing through hordes of angry monsters in search of legendary loot drops. We're even seeing some classic favorites return; Titan Quest 2 is set for launch in 2025, and 2016's mighty Grim Dawn is preparing to make a major comeback with new expansion Fangs of Asterkarn. In a fresh check-in, developer Crate Entertainment reveals just how big the next Grim Dawn DLC will be, and it's pretty astonishing.

PCGamesN Sunday, June 22, 2025 7:03 AM The shared-world experience of MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft, FF14, Runescape, and Guild Wars 2 is what makes them truly special. Even if you're someone who prefers to quest solo, seeing other players going about their daily business and living their lives around you brings a magical spark that can never be replicated by computer-controlled NPCs. Newcomer Bitcraft Online is taking things a step further. Pitched as a 'true single-world MMORPG,' developer Clockwork Laboratories has been playtesting Bitcraft Online since 2022, and has now launched it into early access on Steam even earlier than previously planned.

PCGamesN Sunday, June 22, 2025 6:14 AM June 22, 2025: Movement in the Steal a Brainrot codes channel in the game's Discord suggests new codes could arrive with the Rainbow Mutation event or one the following weekend. What are the latest Steal a Brainrot codes? Taking clear cues from Grow a Garden, this new Roblox experience dismisses the idea of patience, perseverance, and the rewards that follow, and instead, you steal the hard work of others. It's poetic in a way. So much so that we're not sure what to make of it. But freebies are freebies, and that's what Steal a Brainrot game codes are good for. But players are loving it. While it's far from meeting the lofty concurrent player goals of its inspiration, like Grow a Garden codes or Blox Fruits codes, it's putting Brainrot Evolution codes on high alert. Already certain it's not the one for you? Consider trying out Blue Lock Rivals codes instead. That's a Roblox game with an idea that copycats are struggling to replicate.

PCGamesN Sunday, June 22, 2025 5:59 AM The Borderlands 4 skill trees are so big they eclipse even the past two mainline entries put together. That's just one of several fresh reasons to look forward to the upcoming co-op FPS, as we get a look at the official Borderlands 4 story trailer. At the Borderlands 4 Fanfest event, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and chief creative officer Randy Varnell took to the stage to give us one more rundown of what we can expect for the long-awaited sequel in the approach to launch. The pair also give us some more details on the four classes, and yet another hint at what could be the game's rarest loot tier.

PCGamesN Sunday, June 22, 2025 5:54 AM June 22, 2025: A second Mugen code for release has been found. What are the new Mugen codes? The next in a long line of anime-inspired Roblox games is taking the player-made games platform by storm. Get a head start or catch up to your friends in a jiffy with this list of limited-time redeemables before they're replaced with fewer and fewer goodies as time goes on. Looking for other popular games to grind on the platform? Check out the latest Blox Fruits codes to jump into a mainstay, or Attack on Titan Revolution codes if you're after a slight change of pace. And if you want something massively different, try Grow a Garden codes instead. Continue reading Mugen codes June 2025 MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best Roblox games, Roblox promo codes, Roblox music codes |
PCGamesN Sunday, June 22, 2025 5:00 AM Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 feels, in many ways, like a flash point. It could reawaken the franchise, or it could be the final death for World of Darkness' virtual universes. While the TTRPG is still going strong, propped up by ever-popular live-action plays like LA and New York By Night and Alexander Ward's new spinoff, Project Ghostlight, more recent VTM videogames have struggled to make a real impact. While I will go to bat over Bloodhunt, Sharkmob's ill-fated battle royale, its struggle to contain cheaters nailed that coffin shut, and while Swansong's LA Noire detective vibes sounded great on paper, it was more irritating than enthralling in practice. Even Draw Distance's visual novels haven't quite managed to keep up the momentum, with the team's most recent endeavor, Reckoning of New York, earning muted praise. Kindred everywhere feel like they're shaking their fists, longing for the good ol' days of Troika's troubled but pioneering RPG, Bloodlines. A full, long-awaited sequel, then, it's safe to say that Bloodlines 2 has a lot riding on it.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 22, 2025 6:00 AM  Last week I mentioned that I was reading Tokyo These Days, a manga about the production of a manga magazine. I have paired this, somewhat accidentally, with Shirobako, an anime about the anime production process. I'm four episodes in and there's almost no drama to it that isn't drawn directly from the difficulties of that production, to the point where the main tension of episode three hinges upon an FTP server being down. Wonderful. Sunday will be for watching a bit more of that, then, and avoiding the heat. Ever wonder if the oversaturated trailer showcases of not-E3 and demos of Steam Next Fest actually produce a return for developers? Simon Carless's always interesting newsletter GameDiscoverCo dug into the numbers to discover the top announcements of not-E3 and who won Next Fest. These events clearly work for some - in particular those with huge marketing budgets announcing the ninth mainline entry in a beloved 30-year-old series - but standing out has never been more difficult. |

Among the Wholesome Direct 2025 shadowdrops was Vending Dokan: Kozy Kiosk, an idle simulation about managing vending machines. While there is a game here, it also is a bit like Spirit City: Lofi Sessions in its execution. Yes, we're running a series of vending machines in a city. However, we're also maintaining a scenic vista we can look at and listen to when we aren't actively "playing."
In Vending Dokan: Kozy Kiosk, we own a vending machine company. That means placing units in spots around the city, hiring staff who can handle things like maintenance, inventory, and repairs. Each one has their own salary, schedule, and you choose if they clean, handle inventory, or repair machines. When at a machine, we choose what it stocks, manage those items, and can clean it up. Our warehouses hold containers of the drinks and snacks we've acquired.
But a lot of it seems to be about the vibe. So much that the overall ratings for locations, which are generally based on cleanliness and the vibe, take priority. While there were times when I was stocking and making business decisions, the bulk of the time I would be watching. We aren't constantly needed in-game. We can step in to more directly decorate and influence things, but the staff seemed confident in the build I played and it does take time for machines to get dirty or need replenishing.
Which was, in general, fine. I played Vending Dokan: Kozy Kiosk on a Lenovo Legion Go handheld gaming PC. It had no problem running it. It generally worked well on there too. This also meant it was an ideal situation to set up a street and let the app run while I took part in other activities. When I would play Rune Factory: Guardians of Azumaahead of the review, I'd have it in the background when resource gathering or doing minor relationship building, and it ended up being a good companion for that. The general street scenes look fine, and are sort of like an urban screensaver.
I think what's important to know going in to it is to know that Vending Dokan: Kozy Kiosk is more of a casual vending machine management experience. You're supposed to do some light decorating and set up, then leave the business to its own devices. When I played, I found I could get more involved, but I didn't need to. Which is fine, as sometimes a more casual sim is exactly what we need.
Vending Dokan: Kozy Kiosk is in early access for the PC via Steam.
