I'm about halfway through the second season of The Witcher on Netflix, and for the most part I'm loving it. It feels a lot more Witchery than the first season did, and is moving at a refreshingly brisk pace. One thing that's really bugging me, though, is that series seems to have wildly overestimated how much we all…

In the modern gaming landscape it's pretty easy to get away with not paying for games. In part that's because the studios make free ones that are really, really good.

     Beaver city builder Timberborn adds human ruins and mud baths, but breaks old saves

Beaver city builder Timberborn has just gotten its first major content update in Early Access, which gives those adorable semiaquatic rodents a chance to wade deeper into the dregs of humanity's remains, and some more literal dregs in the form of mud baths. The update also breaks compatibility with old saves, so you'll want to be careful before bringing in your old saves.

"Once you update the game on the main branch, existing saves become largely incompatible, as indicated by a warning," the devs explain. "Please start a new game! If you want to continue building pre-patch settlements without the new content and changes, we have added a pre-patch branch called 'Old version 0.0'. You can access it the same way you enable the experimental branch, as explained here."

Underground ruins aren't the first remnant of human civilisation we've seen in Timberborn, but they'll provide an infinite source of scrap metal, as long as you're able to build mines to claim it. Then there are the mud baths, which will help your beavers enjoy a little R&R.

     The PCGamesN gaming gift guide

We've not exactly been spoilt for choice for things throughout 2021, as stock shortages dampen the holiday spirit, but that doesn't mean you have to pay scalper prices to fill stockings to the brim.

Whether you're looking for some Christmas gaming gifts for a loved one, someone that you can barely tolerate, or just need some seasonal motivation to treat yourself, we've assembled a roundup of the best gifts for PC gamers. Obviously, you'll find a little mix of everything, from pocket-sized computers and gorgeous art books, to new board games, hardware, and peripherals in case there's someone in your life whose setup needs some sprucing up.

     Final Fantasy Xiv Endwalker The Final Day guide featDo I even need to say it? This is the last Trial of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. This is one of the most spoiler-y guides I could possibly write. If you're not at the point where you've unlocked this Trial, you should not be reading this Endwalker — The Final Day guide. Spoilers within. I'm not going to say it again.   Okay. It's here. The battle against the Endsinger, where the fate of the universe will be decided. This is the very end of the plot arc that's been going since Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 launched 11 years ago, and while it's not the toughest fight, it's extremely "final boss." Here's how to deal with The Final Day. Endwalker — The Final Day guide: the short version This is a multi-phase fight, but unless your party panics, the first phase is really the only one to worry about. Phase two is a typical add phase, and phase three is pretty much a heal and DPS check where you only need to worry about the tracking...
