PCGamesN Sunday, August 31, 2025 9:12 AM Amazon Games MMORPG Throne and Liberty has a lot going for it if you're into grand-scale combat and intense PvP, but its next update aims to dramatically widen its appeal. Solisium's Awakening introduces more 'lifestyle content' to the free-to-play MMO, including a player housing system that could pose some serious competition to heavy hitters like FF14 and World of Warcraft. It's also adding a unique new support weapon, a highly requested multiplayer mode, improved PvE dungeon rewards, and a feature to help newcomers catch up to the crowd more easily.

PCGamesN Sunday, August 31, 2025 7:00 AM Gamescom 2025 was quite the experience. It was the year that we finally got concrete release dates for the long-awaited Hollow Knight Silksong and Bloodlines 2, and the year that World of Warcraft added player housing. In many ways, it felt like the show in which myriad gaming 'loose ends' were at last tied up, presumably to dodge the specter of GTA 6, but who cares? We won as a result. While you all watched Opening Night Live from the comfort of your homes - likely judging Geoff Keighley's thoroughly mid shoes - myself and Jamie, two of PCGN's intrepid newshounds, were running around previewing games and taking names (literally, there were a lot of interviews).

Tamriel Rebuilt polishes and expands the original, while Skywind moves the whole thing over to the Skyrim engine. But what about a totally different approach?

OFF is a formative game for many people, particularly folks who ended up heavily into the RPG Maker scene and enjoy independent works. It's for people who enjoy surreal titles that might involve multiple interpretations. Who don't shy away from dark and perhaps even off-putting situations and characters. For select groups, it is even a must-play game. While the remaster is valuable in that it helps with preservation and outreach, there are times when I felt like the original resonated more with me.
We are ourselves. We are a Controller. We accompany a being known as the Batter. His goal is to purify the world. This involves visiting various Zones in what appears to be a dark and depressing world. After meeting a cat named the Judge, we get the ability to traverse the nothingness to get to different territories and defeat the specters within them.
The execution of OFF and the way its story is told is what made the original game so beloved, and the nature of it means it is still relatively timeless. Any twists still work well these over 17 years later. The themes ring true, and the oppressive situations absolutely make someone feel things. Some of it can read a little awkwardly, and it might be off-putting to folks who don't enjoy surrealist, dark works. But for those who do, it's all quite poignant.
The OFF remaster largely preserves the game's original art and design, so everything remains as stark, unusual, and off-putting. There are additions like actual climbing animations for the Batter when going up ladders and new sound effects. On the whole, it definitely emphasizes the vibes. I'm even glad that it still leaves some character designs a little debatable! So you aren't exactly what someone is made of, for example. However, I also think the design direction won't be for everyone. It's great at establishing an aesthetic, but I recommend looking up screenshots and footage ahead of playing. I would say that the sidebar art, especially the dynamic ones, actually works against the original atmosphere. They don't feel as raw or gritty. It's like they're more cartoonish interpretations that detract from the seriousness of the story.
The downside is, while the appearance remains the same, this OFF remaster added a new translation and soundtrack to the game. The former is okay for the most part, as this script takes a different approach but does largely tell the story in an interesting way. The latter just doesn't pack the same punch. The Alias Conrad Coldwood original compositions felt much stronger. They're more haunting and better suit situations. These more recent adaptations and versions don't feel the same. It's like you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with with Jif or Skippy, but then some off-brand jelly you grabbed from a dollar store. It'll get the job done and captures the PB&J spirit, but doesn't feel right.
As for the OFF combat system, it is generally fine and I do find it a bit more user-friendly than the original. However, I'm not a big fan. The purest form has everyone constant moving and acting, and you can include an auto-mode. It is possible to swap to an option that lets you take some time to make decisions. The Batter can acquire Add-Ons to act as party members to assist in fights as allies. What I will say is that I appreciated how fast these can be, so even though I didn't really enjoy them after a while, it felt like my time was being respected so I could continue with the adventure that did interest me.
I'm also a little disappointed in the new content. I appreciate that it is there! The idea that there are new foes to face is fascinating. I found myself wishing they added more narrative value to OFF, as I ended up feeling like they didn't offer much else to the game other than new secrets to find and purify.
OFF is an experience worth having if you value the creativity of independent works and RPG Maker games, and it aged relatively well. I do think that, in the years since its release, we've seen other games with similar sorts of messages that do what it does better. Especially when it comes to the battle system. But when you factor in its influence, I feel it possesses educational value for those who may ever consider developing their own games or appreciate what independent developers can accomplish.
OFF is available on the Switch and PC.

NBA 2K26 offers various ways to upgrade your MyTeam lineups, and evolutions allow you to improve a lower-rated card's stats and base rating.
Unlike other cards, evolution items have the unique feature to improve over time. Typically, all evolution cards can improve by two tiers. To do so, you'll need to hit the upgrade conditions. This guide will help you master the basics and get your first evolutions rolling in MyTeam.
Table of contents
How to complete evolutions in NBA 2K26 MyTeam?
To begin the process, you'll need to get evolution cards in NBA 2K26. I have explained the first steps in the following section.
Once done, go back to the card to complete the evolution, which will change the rarity of your item. If it has a second unlockable evolution, rinse and repeat the steps mentioned here.
How to get free evolution cards in NBA 2K26 MyTeam?
Once you begin your MyTeam journey, you'll notice that no cards are eligible for evolutions in your collection. Yet, you'll come across missions that reward you with a free Evolution Starter Option pack. To get this pack, you'll need an event card.
To obtain this card, go to the Tutorial section from the MyTeam homepage. You'll need to clear eight tutorial quests that lend you some decent starter cards. The 9th objective rewards you with the event card, which you can exchange for your starter evolution card. I went with Ben Wallace (as showcased in the screenshot above), but you can pick someone else based on the strengths and weaknesses of your squad.

Alley Oops is perhaps one of the funkiest ways of scoring baskets in NBA 2K26, and when executed right, they can land you additional points by bypassing your opponents.
Thanks to the gameplay changes made this year, there are a few differences in how we can perform an Alley Oop. Moreover, the control scheme differs for performing an Alley Oop with your teammate or going solo.
Table of contents
How to perform an Alley Oop in NBA 2K26?
Double-tap your controller's Triangle/Y button to throw an Alley Oop pass. This will automatically trigger your applicable player (near the rim) to run towards the rim while attempting to catch the ball. Once you have made the pass, an input will appear on your screen. This input will vary between your three other primary control buttons.
Last year, we had to press the Triangle/Y button again to finish the move. This year, it's purely random, so notice the input on the screen. You can also remove the randomness of the player making the run by selecting your PF/C first.
How to perform Alley Oop by yourself in NBA 2K26?
Typically, the Alley Oop is best performed with a teammate in NBA 2K26. However, you can do it all by yourself with the correct controls.
In my experience, the self-alley Oop has a lot of scope for mistakes, so practice this well. Whenever you're relying on another ally, always call them first and set them as a pick. This is better done with your PFs and Cs; their bigger height will make it easier for them to grab and dunk with the ball in the air.
