How custom and adaptive controllers serve players with disabilities – and how steep costs and bad attitudes threaten the good they can do Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is a menace. Even amongElden Ring’s cast of bastard-hard bosses, the Goddess of Rot distinguishes herself as an ender of lives, a relentless steel tempest that has shredded the most prepared and dextrous of adventurers. She’s also been beaten, rather soundly, by a man using only his mouth....
Needs to be able to match performance with battery life That’s per Steam Deck dev Pierre-Loup Griffais, who toldThe Vergethat the portable PC would likely remain fixed to its current spec for at least a couple more years. The given reason is to help developers work towards a consistent bar for performance on the machine, rather than making incremental upgrades that risk fragmenting what devs are coding for and confusing players....
A good price for a blazing-fast gaming CPU. Want to get a powerful Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor for $50 off with a free copy ofStarfieldPremium Edition? B&H Photo in the US have you covered with their latest discount on AMD’s fastest gaming CPU*, which sees the processor drop to $389 after debuting earlier this year at $439. That’s still a hefty chunk of change, but it’s worth it for a gaming CPU that outfights the Core i9 13900K and trades blows with the much more expensive Ryzen 9 7950X3D, coming well ahead in some games and a tiny bit behind in others....
“It’s a big one” Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 3, which was so massive Larian held it back a day to test it properly, will release today, and it’ll add anRPGfeature many of us have been requesting since we stepped clear of the Nautiloid - the ability to change a character’s appearance. Alas, it comes too late for the Wood Elf Druid I rolled during my first try at the 1.0 version....

Putting the new SSD requirement to the test The polished-up2.0 updateforCyberpunk 2077is out now, ahead of itsPhantom Libertyexpansion on September 26th. I’ve been trying out both, partly to see if the 2.0newly raised hardware requirementofSSDstorage is a warning worth heeding. Hard lines against hard drive installations are new to PC games, but it was only a couple of weeks ago whenStarfieldshowed thedangers of crossing them. Broken audio, regular freeze-ups, load times so long you could measure them with a calendar… an SSD really is the only way to play Starfield, and it sounded likeCyberpunk 2077would follow suit....
A new main character, overhauled combat and the new planet of Mars to explore Honkai Impact 3rd, the hack-and-slash action game that shares its universe and characters with HoYoverse’s more recent and better-knownHonkai: Star Rail, is due to receive a massive update that will take the game to Mars - and seemingly leave one of its heroes behind. It seems that Part 2 might well leave Kiana behind as it takes Honkai Impact 3rd from its Moon-based origins to the new planetary setting of Mars to focus on a brand new main character from the Red Planet....
No honour amongst thieves with this matchmaking It’s been a clear decade since the last entry in thisco-opcrimeathonFPSseries, so I was interested to playPayday 3. Payday is exactly the sort of online multiplayer I can get behind: PvE with clear but theoretically malleable goals (theft!). But althoughcompared to Crime Boss: Rockay Cityit’s a crushing 60st monster truck tyre, Payday 3 isn’t really reinventing thePayday 2wheel. In some respects you might think it’s rolling backwards, and while dedicated Payday 2 players may well switch over to the current gen iteration, you get the sense they’ll be complaining about things the whole time....
Come for the sexy big mouth, stay for the deckbuilding If you enjoy tower defence, video games presented as fake PC desktop environments, and big sexy mouths in Hell, cast your innumerable unblinking eyes overHeretic’s Fork. The deck-building tower defence game casts you as an employee of Hell tasked with punishing sinners by building towers and deploying troops using a demonic computer system. I’ve played a few hours since Heretic’s Fork launched yesterday and while it hasn’t quite enraptured my hellbound heart, I am enjoying figuring it out—and seeing what my paperclip helper will do next....
Rolling out over the next three months Sea of Thievesis lining things up for the launch of its 10th season next month, with a multi-month rollout of new features including guilds, a new world event type and a way to play without being attacked by other players. First for the game will be new player guilds, which can be formed from groups of up to 24 players and are said to be a more meaningful way to party up than temporary ship crews....
