With the bold changes of Civilization 7 splitting opinion, you might be on the hunt for your next favorite 4X game. Stellaris Biogenesis impresses with some creative origins, but my eyes are now on Endless Legend 2. Set to hit early access this summer, and more than a decade after the original won my heart with its unique and distinctive factions, Amplitude Studios and Hooded Horse continue their reveals with the much-anticipated return of the first game's most defining conquerors, the Necrophage.

Is Elden Ring Nightreign down? It isn't often that you have to check the server status of a FromSoft game, but Nightreign is a different beast completely. While you have the option of taking on the game's many bosses alone, it's a much better experience with friends - but for that to happen, the servers need to be online.

Thankfully, if the Elden Ring Nightreign servers are down, you can still jump in solo. As we mentioned in our Elden Ring Nightreign review, the solo experience can feel punishing for those who aren't already experienced with the roguelike game. Here is the Elden Ring Nightreign server status so you can plan your adventure accordingly.

What's the best F1 25 Saudi Arabia setup? While the race weekend has only been part of the calendar for a few years, it's one of the biggest fan-favorites of the first half of the season. Not only is it a good spectacle, but it's also one of the most challenging in the game.

Therefore, your setup for Saudi Arabia in F1 25 needs to be altered from what you used for the likes of Japan and China. This year's racing game introduced some new mechanics you need to get used to, and also means that the setups that'll give you the best chance of scoring points are different to last year's game.

May 29, 2025 We have added links to more setups below, including Saudi Arabia.

What are the best F1 25 setups? If you stick to the same settings for your car across every event in a formula one season, you'll struggle a lot. You need to approach the high speed tracks and the tight street circuits differently.

To help you figure out the best settings to use and ensure you have a good chance of reaching the top step of the podium in F1 25, we have put together the best setups for various events in the formula one season. The racing game is complex, so you'll need to check for the fastest setup each time you jump into a new location.

World of Warcraft Season of Discovery is being brought to a close as Blizzard's WoW Classic team moves onto building something new. The creative twist on the MMORPG takes players back to the early days, offering the potential to unlock new abilities outside of your standard skill set that can entirely transform the way classes are played. Following the launch of the Scarlet Enclave raid in April, however, the developer confirms that it's now planning to "slow down" work on SoD, although it reassures players that realms will remain open for the foreseeable future.

Age of Empires 2 has a new expansion, Tempest Rising is the effective return of classic Command and Conquer, and we've recently gotten Commandos Origins. I don't mean to get overexcited, but it's starting to feel like old-school RTS games are back. What's next? A sequel to Total Annihilation? A remake of War Wind? Z 3? One can dream. But in the meantime, another iconic medieval strategy series is making a bold return. Originally released in 2002, the AoE-style Stronghold Crusader is getting a top-to-bottom remaster, complete with overhauled visuals and new campaigns. The full game isn't here for a couple of months, but you can still play it right now.

A voice actor who featured in Persona 4 has let slip that a remake of the school days JRPG is in the works, mostly because he's frustrated the developers don't want him back to perform as his original character. Yuri Lowenthal, who played clumsy bicycle crasher Yosuke in the original 2008 game, expressed some revealing annoyance with developers Atlus in a post on social media that has since been deleted.

Put me in the camp of point and click aficionados who fiercely believe that 1993's Gabriel Knight: Sins Of The Fathers is one of the best adventure games to ever touch a PC. First in a trilogy of thriller mysteries, it featured writing that was a cut above Sierra On-Line's usual fare, puzzles that veered on the side of sensible investigations rather than moon logic, and a glorious bastard of a Cajun protagonist.

The Kathy Rain series owes much to Gabriel Knight. Swap the '90s-era New Orleans author for a '90s-era biker chick/journalism student, replace the voodoo killings with a conspiracy involving the death of a grandparent, and you have the first Kathy Rain, which was released in 2016 and boasted the generic-but-still-memorable tagline: "A Detective is Born". But despite receiving fair praise from John back in the day, Kathy's first outing had a murky plot about cults, trauma, small town disappearances, and Elder Gods that was only made understandable via a spruced up Director's Cut in 2021. Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer, I'm happy to report, needs no such re-release, though anyone who hasn't completed the first game is bound to still be a little confused.

Cyberpunk 2077's sequel has shed its Project Orion codename and will now be known as... Cyberpunk 2. CD Projekt revealed the name change in their latest earnings results, according to which the new Cyberpunk RPG has just entered pre-production - roughly defined, the point in a game's gestation when designers, artists, programmers and so forth meet to flesh out the concept, but before they've actually started making anything that's supposed to form part of the finished game. There are now 96 people working on the thing, versus 422 for The Witcher 4, 49 on multiplayer Witcher spin-off Project Sirius, and 19 for an unannounced original game, Project Hadar.

The grousing, dilettante reader will object that this is scant material for a news post, especially given that CD Projekt are offering no guarantees that "Cyberpunk 2" will be the project's final name - as they commented to the Verge, Cyberpunk 2 "just means it's another game in the Cyberpunk universe." But the dextrous maven of online news-mongering will notice that "Cyberpunk 2" is, in fact, an extremely compact and subtle piece of worldbuilding.

I've never been so happy to see a spike trap as I was in Debugging Hero. At the start of each combat encounter, the demo for this roguelite hack n' slash hands you several numeric cards and lets you pause the game to view both your and your enemies' stats: health, damage, and durability. You then drag the cards on to the relevant stat to modify it, then unpause to continue real-time combat.

It's a cute gimmick, letting you knock down high health enemies to a manageable number, or kill weak ones outright, or heal yourself. But it felt a tad shallow to carry a whole game, even one with dodges and parries in its real-time combat. Then, I entered a room with a trap tile that thrust sharpened spikes upwards at timed intervals, and realised I could manipulate the timer. I tuned it right down, and raucously chortled like a portly racoon at the bakery bins as it pneumatically skewered my idiot attackers.

In 2023 EA opened a new studio named Cliffhanger Games, led by former Monolith head Kevin Stephens, and announced a new third-person, singleplayer game starring Marvel's Black Panther. They've now cancelled that game and shut down that studio, IGN report.

According to EA Entertainment president Laura Miele, via an email sent to employees, this has been done to "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities."

annoying dog undertale

It's not every day you get to talk to someone as well-known and liked in the indie scene like Toby Fox, but thanks to some wizardry and a sprinkle of luck, we managed to ask Toby a couple of questions recently ahead of the release of Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 on June 5.

Toby was to the point with his answers, especially in one area where we were keen to find out more information on, with that, of course, being Indie games. More importantly, some of his favorite indie games that were recently released or are coming out soon, and he did not disappoint.

But instead of keeping some of those suggestions to ourselves, we thought we would share with you his shout-outs and decisions, so you can go out there and try them for yourselves to see if they match your tastes!

So, without further ado, let us begin.

ENA: Dream BBQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLurAhsqXWc&ab_channel=JoelG

ENA: Dream BBQ was the first game Toby bought up, and it was one I hadn't heard of until then. It's an episodic adventure game that follows a humanoid exploring various environments while interacting with other characters to complete tasks and solve mazes, all to reach this mysterious Boss character that centres around the narrative.

Balatro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUyP21iQ_-g&ab_channel=IGN

Balatro was the next one, which was no surprise considering how popular the rogue-like card game has become over the past year. It's a game that needs to be played to be understood, so give it a go if you haven't already. It's also on Xbox Game Pass!

UFO50

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfW0K4rRLnw

The third big shoutout surprised us when Toby mentioned UFO50, a collection of 50 single and multiplayer games that span a variety of genres. There is something for everyone on it, for sure, and is great for on-the-go micro games when you want to pick up and play something for a small amount of time.

Soul of Soverignity

And lastly, Toby felt like he had to mention the visual novel Soul of Sovereignity, made by one of his friends. He was a bit coy, though, only mentioning that he "can't wait to see how the story will continue..." before ominously slipping back into the shadows. What aren't you telling us, Toby!?

The game is currently in development and is a linear (no choices) adventure that is intended for a mature audience with stunning visuals. One to check out!

Thanks, Toby, for your time and recommendations! And we look forward to seeing the next Deltarune chapters in June!
