Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: PC performance and the best settings to use

Load the dice Remember,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsisnot a Borderlands game. In fact, it’s so much not a Borderlands game that it has almost identical visuals, PC system requirements and graphics options to Borderlands 3. The odds, right?

What do you think of the new PlayStation Plus, and is it better than Xbox Game Pass?

No Day One releases, but woof that retro library… It’s not yet clear how that library of games will differ from the current PlayStation Now library, but one thing is certain: this is a move that definitely benefits people with a PlayStation and a PC more than it does standalone PC peeps. And yet, even as someone who falls into the former camp of PlayStation and PC owners, I’m still not sure this new PS+ is something I actually want....

All of Elden Ring's horrible dogs, rated

Hounded to death FromSoftware’s games are filled with formidable foes, from notorious bosses like the Four Kings and Genichiro Ashina, to infamous regular enemies like Dark Souls' basilisks, or those sodding kite ninjas from Sekiro. Yet despite the presence of all these terrifying enemies, nothing sets me on edge in a FromSoft game like encountering a dog. The hideous hounds ofDark SoulsandBloodbornewere bad enough, butElden Ringtakes canine combat to a whole other level....

Patrick's Parabox review: a super smart puzzler of infinite depth

To infinity and beyond The four-sided heroes ofPatrick’s ParaboxandWilmot’s Warehousewould be great friends, I think. They both specialise in the placement and movement of boxes, and they both share the same cheery disposition. Sure, Patrick may not have the same pointy nose or cheeky smile of his mate Wilmot, but the way his eyes rove from side to side as he wiggles to the beat of Priscilla Snow’s meditative and upbeat electronic soundtrack is surely a sign of someone who is truly in love with what they do....

Vampire Survivors should end endgame framedeath with new engine

The devs have laid out revised early access plans There comes a point in aVampire Survivorsrun when I know my build is good enough to go the distance, because the violence is so intense and colourful that my framerate grinds down into single digits. I like that point. To me, that’s the real win; any minutes remaining before the actual end are a victory lap. Alas, this will change. The devs have laid out revised early access plans and, alongside loads of extra wizards and things, they’re moving to a new engine with potentially a tenfold increase in performance....

Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong's branching storylines are looking bloody impressive

No mistakes, only happy accidents I’m going to jerk back the curtain a little bit here, and I hope the devs will forgive me - it’ll turn out okay, I promise! You see, since the pandemic happened everyone has discovered you can do hands-on game previews using remote streaming, provided all parties have a decent enough internet connection.
