Rather than overhaul gear and crafting systems, Darktide should rip them out

Planned changes sound better, but still tedious and uninteresting The makers ofWarhammer 40,000: Darktidehave laid out their plans to improve the co-op shooter’s shopping and crafting systems. The gear system changes, due to arrive in the next patch, do sound like improvements to the current state of things. These plans do not sound better than entirely ending the tedious grinds of random rolls and making numbers bigger. Why improve when it would be better to remove?...

Returning to The Sims 1 in 2023 is a weird challenge I fully recommend

Looking back at the first-ever Sims game for its historic 23rd anniversary Social simulation wasn’t an entirely new genre, and indeed Wright drew inspiration from 1985’s Little Computer People (alternatively known as House-On-A-Disk). This Activision title was reasonably well-received in its day, but largely dismissed as a low-challenge educational game suitable only for young children. LCP also doesn’t seem to have met sales expectations, judging by the fact that a series of planned add-on expansions never ended up getting made....

V Rising is overhauling the magic system in May's free expansion

Also a new “territory” feature Vampiric survival gameV Risingcontinues its early access with a free expansion coming in May. It’s meaty, overhauling a few areas of the game including magic progression, spellcasting, and lair building in preparation for the endgame. But it’s also “giving you more of what you already love” with new weapons and spells, boss battles, areas, and factions. Quite a lot to sink your teeth into, then....

Atomic Heart system requirements won't give you a heart attack

It’ll run on low-end machines Atomic Heartlooks like an exceptionally shiny first-person shooter in the vein (geddit?) of Metro, which suggested that its system requirements might be the sort to bleed (geddit) your machine or your wallet dry. Not so, it turns out. The target specs have been released today and they’re relatively modest at both the low and high end. To hit 60fps at 1080p, which is the likely minimum most folks would want, you’ll need an i5-6500 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8GB of RAM, anda GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580....
