The massive rush of Bots in the North-West sector has players scrambling to form some kind of defense to prevent the unrelenting ****** from advancing any closer to Super Earth. View the full article

Between Helldivers 2, Balatro, Dragon's Dogma 2, Last Epoch, and more, there are plenty of new games so far this year to keep you busy. It's a wilderness out there. Every day on Steam there are dozens of fresh releases, while your old favorites and ongoing games get big updates and new DLC. Life is busy, time is short. But it means some fantastic games go overlooked and underplayed. Just launched on Steam, one of the most unique and distinctive new shooters in years delivers bags of style, intricate challenge, and a subversive take on the entire genre. Nevertheless, as of this writing, it has fewer than 80 players - 95% of all the user reviews are positive, but this one isn't getting the attention it deserves. Read the rest of the story...

The positional combat system of Darkest Dungeon is perhaps one of my favorite among all turn-based strategy games, so I was very intrigued by newcomer Anomaly Collapse, which infuses that concept with a more intricate positional design that takes cues from the likes of XCOM and even Baldur's Gate 3, along with a little splash of fellow roguelike games Into the Breach and Slay the Spire, all wrapped in a sci-fi wrapper with an adorable cast of warriors reminiscent of the likes of Star Fox. About to launch on Steam, we at PCGamesN can now bring you the game's official launch trailer, and you can try it now thanks to a free demo. Read the rest of the story... View the full article
One of the purest joys of older Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion is the ability to create your own spells. Removed in later entries like Skyrim, spellcrafting is now making a return - of sorts - in the form of Scribing, a brand new feature coming to The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road. Bethesda has lifted the lid on how it's going to work in a new video, showing just what it'll mean for ESO adventurers. Read the rest of the story...

It might sound counterintuitive, but there are a lot of gamers who like to use their Meta Quest 3 while lying down. Until recently, the headset effectively acted no differently whether you were lying down or standing up, but Meta Quest Update v64 changes this situation. The Meta Quest 3 is one of our picks for the best VR headset that money can buy, but its older sibling, the Quest 2, still sometimes gets new features first. The lying down feature is one example that hit older headsets first, arriving in update v63, but Meta has quickly turned the situation around, so this feature is now also available on its latest headsets.

The first details about World of Warcraft Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7 were unveiled over the last few days, giving players a glimpse at the upcoming additions. One of them is a new mount that looks like it was designed by the Spider-Man villain, Green Goblin. WoW content creator MrGM shared details about WoW‘s 10.2.7 Patch on X (formerly Twitter) on April 10, including the new Pearlescent Goblin Wave Shredder. The mount will be likely obtainable as a reward from the Trading Post, according to MrGM. We think it’ll be a favorite mount for Spider-Man fans, since it looks very similar to the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)’s Glider. View the full article

Hola Helldivers 2 people. Arrowhead's just dropped some nice new ship module upgrades for you to contemplate purchasing and ultimately chicken out because you're too stingy. Seriously, these are aimed at hardened vets looking to take their craft to the next level, so you'll have to fork over a lot in order to...erm...make your crew expert box packers. If you're out of the loop, today's the day that the Democratic Detonation Warbond actually arrives in-game to help you continue to battle the automaton invasion force, provided you can avoid accidentally blowing yourself up with the new crossbow. Alongside that, these ship upgrades have arrived, and they're just like taking a trip to space IKEA (other furniture shops are available). As announced by community manager Baskinator on game's official Discord server, these modules are a part of the Super Destroyer Fleet Upgrade that's just been deployed, which lets you grab some level four revamps for the different sections of your ship. As you might expect given they're level four, they do slightly more than just add some of those throws and blankets that your mum likes to the sofas and cost a fair amount.

On April 10, Blizzard Entertainment announced that World of Warcraft Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7 will introduce a new game mode—Remix Mists of Pandaria. If Plunderstorm ******** available, there will be six different versions of WoW you can play, and the odds of you seeing another content drought are slim. Warlords of Draenor and Shadowlands weren’t terrible expansions like many WoW players make them out to be. In fact, I’d say they were decent, but when you spend months and months waiting for another piece of content, you’ll probably quit the game. View the full article

Between Frostpunk 2, Fallout, and Stalker 2, it's looking like a good year for the fantasy apocalypse. GSC's survival shooter imagines a twisted, radiated wasteland where every expedition - no matter how short or functional - must be meticulously planned, lest you fall victim to monsters and bandits. Frostpunk 2 meanwhile is a high-pressure, minutely detailed city builder, where people, resources, and politics must be carefully managed, and your primary enemies are a hazardous environment and boiling social tensions. The much-anticipated sequel to one of Steam's underground hits, a new strategy game combines city management with survivalistic exploration and quests, and it's coming soon.

Blumhouse Productions is rather busy at the moment and looking at the future with big bets such as a new Blair Witch movie and Todd McFarlane's long-in-the-works Spawn reboot. Now, it's got another surefire winner on its hands: Five Nights at Freddy's 2. In year full so far of surprising horror movie news, this is perhaps the least shocking, as the first Five Nights at Freddy's massively overperformed late last year, earning almost $300 million worldwide (a number that, for reference, the latest theatrical Marvel Studios production didn't even begin to sniff at) on a small $20 million budget. That's the power of Blumhouse's magic, combined with an extremely faithful fanbase. The announcement (via Variety) of FNAF 2 arriving in late 2025 was one of the biggest reveals that happened during Universal Pictures' CinemaCon 2024 event, where no further release date, plot, or cast details were shared. However, writer-director Emma Tammi has been expected to return for a while, should she accept the mission. "I’m dying to get back on set. Emma Tammi, our director, was fantastic, and it was such a fun world to play in. I’m excited to see what they are doing next," star Josh Hutcherson said earlier this year.

Disney Speedstorm players have grown upset at developer Gameloft after it announced the premium track of its battle pass can only be purchased with real money going forward. Players could previously spend tokens earned through gameplay on the battle pass, called the Golden Pass in the Mario Kart-esque racer, but as Gameloft announced in a community update, this would no longer be the case as of Season 7, which is expected to begin sometime in April 2024. Disney Speedstorm is a free-to-play game, but players looking to earn the premium battle pass rewards must now spend $9.99 of real money to do so. Akin to most battle passes available today, a free track which requires no additional spending is also available. Much frustration comes from players who've been around since the beginning of Disney Speedstorm and bought Founder's Packs to gain early access to the game alongside various other benefits like a hoard of tokens. IGN has asked Gameloft for comment. "I bought two Founder's Packs, one on Steam and the other on the Microsoft Store," said BellMellor on Reddit. "My idea was to have enough tokens to buy season passes for at least one year and a half. Now they've breach what they promised, saying we would be able to buy season pass with those tokens, and since they are breaking their agreement, shouldn't we be able to ask for a refund? I mean, what I bought is not what they sold me anymore." Gameloft did make clear across several instances of its own content, like its support page and its early access FAQ, that tokens could be used to purchase the battle pass premium track and even the more expensive tier, which lets players skip several levels. This information is still live on both Gameloft's website and the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store where tokens can be purchased. "Tokens are an in-game currency that can be earned for free by achieving goals in the game or by being purchased using real-world money," the description across multiple sites reads. "They are not season-based and can be accumulated. They can also be used to obtain items in the shop, buy the Golden Pass, skip Golden Pass tiers, and much more." It's worth noting this information is still correct until Season 7 arrives later in April, though none of the mentioned sources indicate any change is coming. "I've been a player since the free to play launch," wrote ArfenZard on Reddit. "I've hung on for dear life through all the bad decisions since then because at its core this game is great. The latest news though... Unless something gives at some point before or during the next season I think it will be my last." They continued: "I'm never gonna fork out actual cash for something that has been directly taken away from me and anyone who does is actively paying to help the demise of the game." Myriad similar complaints have appeared all over the internet, and Disney Speedstorm's Steam reviews have taken a hit too. "The gameplay isn't too bad, not perfect but a solid 7/10," wrote one user. "Everything else is **** awful. I have never known of a game to be so predatory with it's micro-transactions." Another added: "Incredibly greedy company. Monetization gets worse and worse. They have no respect for their players and don't care about making a great game or experience. As someone who has always been a big Disney fan, this game makes me less likely to purchase Disney products going forward." Monetization has been long considered an issue in Disney Speedstorm, even appearing as a major factor in IGN's 5/10 early access review of the game in April 2023. "Disney Speedstorm is a fundamentally good kart racer currently ******* beneath so much gacha garbage and so many currencies that it almost seems like a parody of the entire free-to-play genre," we said.
