The immortal agent quickly became a popular pick that is often instalocked, but other players have grown frustrated, saying, “Clove being added to VALORANT has done irreparable damage to the quality of ranked games.” View the full article

As someone with over 300 hours in Final Fantasy 14 in the last year thanks to the free trial, I can attest to how the right MMO can dig its claws in you. If you're new to the genre like I was with FF14, you need a lot of time to understand the systems and mechanics these massive games are known for, and the dedication of a monthly subscription isn't good for that. Elder Scrolls Online already doesn't require a sub, but if you're still hesitant to put down the asking price, a new QuakeCon event gives you some time to try the game for free.

Fallout: London has been a big hit with fans, and it sounds like the team that made it wants to stick together to make their own games. It was a long time coming, but the highly anticipated mod Fallout: London finally came out last month, and it's been incredibly well received so far, including by our own Mark who reviewed the DLC-sized mod and gave it four out of five stars. Of course, despite still having to deal with various bugs, and promising more content further down the line, the Fallout: London team has plans beyond its massive mod. The mod's project lead Dean Carter recently spoke with the BBC about the aftermath of the project, discussing the team's feelings on having released it, and what's next for them (thanks, PCGamesN). Quite notably, Carter shared that they will "hopefully" go on to make their own indie studio so they can pay the bills. Carter explained that "as much as I love the fact that this is a free project - that we can offer this thing for free for all the community - free doesn't pay our bills." He went on to say, "What has been great for us is that a lot of people who have really enjoyed [Fallout: London] have donated to us, and we're channelling that into Team Folon, which is what we're going to be moving into. We should hopefully launch our own indie games company which will allow us to come up with our own ideas, create our own games, and work… without having to speak to anyone above us, such as Bethesda, or anything like that.

PlayStation appears to be testing user-written reviews on the PS Store, meaning you'll be able to do more than just rate your games with stars. Xbox has allowed its users to leave written reviews for quite a while now, but on PlayStation the only thing you can currently do is give a game a star rating from one to five. Well, as shared by one user on the PlayStation subreddit earlier this week, it appears that the console maker is currently testing written user reviews. The user in question asked the community "when did PlayStation start allowing written reviews? Seems to only be allowed for [a] few games on their store pages for now." They also shared a screenshot of the page that lets you write reviews, with Helldivers 2 being the game in question. It's a simple enough page, just prompting you to put your star rating in and whatever your thoughts about the game are, asking you to tag spoilers and agree to the terms and conditions. Nothing fancy, but it would obviously be a big change for how players can offer their opinions on PlayStation games, currently relegated to writing some lengthy comment on a social media post about a completely different topic in the hopes that someone will respond but knowing no one ever will.

Years after the troubled launch and eventual redemption of Cyberpunk 2077, the game is just about finished with its post-launch patch cycle, and developer CD Projekt RED has a sequel, codenamed Project Orion, in the works. But although I'm excited to see where a sequel could take Cyberpunk as a franchise, I'm also worried that the eventual release of Project Orion might end up overreaching, expanding the game in ways that don't play to what I felt were the strong points of the original.

As a bonus, many simulators are rather relaxing, making them a perfect way to unwind after a long day. View the full article
The Vision Pro got its first Virtual Boy emulator in an app called VirtualFriend, finally giving me, a person with an irrational love for Nintendo’s most short-lived console, a chance to play it in immersive 3D once more.

Despite having one of the most distressing backstories of Baldur's Gate 3's Origin characters, Karlach has survived the hells and made it out with her fundamental kindness and humanity intact. The infernal engine that's replaced her heart can be an obstacle to a close relationship, but helping her overcome that challenge is one of the most rewarding accomplishments in the game.
