As fans come to terms with the GTA 6 delay – from creating countdowns “that are cheaper than therapy” to pleas to “calm ourselves” – at least one person is delighted by the news: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 actor, Luke Dale.

Don’t worry, PowerWash Simulator 2 is bringing back the ludicrous, brilliant lore

AuthorMay 2, 20250

As anyone who’s played PowerWash Simulator will tell you (your mileage may vary), it’s got some of the best lore since FromSoftware went all enigmatic about a king/dragon/wizard with a big hat on the back of a spell scroll. Amid all that squirting, it brought us mysteriously missing cats, dodgy politicians, golden age Hollywood […]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is selling more than twice as fast as other JRPGs on PC, analyst says – here’s why

AuthorMay 2, 20250

Sandfall Interactive’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has captivated fans of Japanese RPGs. While the French studio was clearly inspired by genre greats like Final Fantasy 10 and Lost Odyssey with its debut, it arguably gets closer to the feel of those games than publisher and genre specialist Square Enix itself has managed in recent years.
