The highs found in the dungeons and raids of World of Warcraft and FF14 are some of the most satisfying moments in gaming, bringing together what you've learned and putting your teamwork to the test. But everything else that surrounds that, the flesh on the bones of the best MMORPGs, makes them a time-consuming proposition. Enter Fellowship, which has just launched into early access on Steam. Chief Rebel's creation takes those magical moments and frames them into an approachable but endlessly scaling co-op experience that keeps all the best parts and strips out the fluff.

Of all the games to release this year, Dying Light The Beast has probably surprised me the most. It's not that I thought it would be a bad game, I just thought that releasing amid the likes of Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, and Battlefield 6 would leave it flying under the radar a little. I thought it might be a game we'd grow to love, to look back on in a couple of years' time and say, 'that was an underappreciated gem,' or suchlike. But no. It hit the ground running, immediately finding a place in our best zombie games list, and it isn't showing any signs of losing steam. Techland has now announced an 11-week roadmap of post-launch content, including community challenges, a higher difficulty setting, and New Game Plus. Read the rest of the story...

RAM and SSD prices are set to rocket, and it's all because of AI, according to the chairman of PC memory and SSD manufacturer Adata. Simon Chen raised the alarm over "severe shortages" affecting the supply of all the major forms of memory and storage for gaming PCs, with AI companies and data centers fighting for as much stock as possible. This is constraining supply that would otherwise end up in consumer-facing RAM, SSD, and traditional hard drives, with memory prices already increasing as a result. For gamers, the end result is a more expensive bill when you come to buy or upgrade your next PC. The models in our best gaming RAM guide, for instance, will no doubt see price rises if PC hardware manufacturers such as Adata can't keep costs down, or keep stock flowing to retailers. If you're thinking about an upgrade, you might be inclined to jump in sooner rather than later. Read the rest of the story...

Hollow Knight: Silksong has mostly been met with overwhelming acclaim, and the newest patch should help to clean up the biggest remaining area of criticism. While some skeptics will never be on board with its punishing difficulty, most of its negative reviews at launch dealt with its Simplified ******** translation. An overemphasis on flowery language lost the focus and impact of the original script, leading to significantly worse scores in China than in other regions. View the full article

Borderlands 4 Vex players rejoice, because Gearbox just delayed the inevitable infinite bleed nerf that was originally expected to drop today. Gearbox never outright confirmed that the infamous build would be nerfed in the next update, but a statement made in the Borderlands 4 patch notes for October 9 suggested as much. Just ahead of the change list in the last patch, Gearbox stated, "We will also address unintended interactions in certain Vault Hunter skills, and make adjustments to overperforming gear," which many fans took as a sign that Vex's infamous reign would be coming to an end.

Amnesia: The Bunker is one of the most memorable and impactful World War I stories in a long time. It's an experience we ranked among the very best of its launch year across all genres, and now you can grab a copy completely for free. It takes the Lovecraftian-horror framework established by developer Frictional Games in its previous installments and winds it lovingly, terrifyingly, around one of humanity's grimmest historical settings, creating a haunting tale packed with allegory and tension. Believe me, Amnesia: The Bunker will stick with you long after the final credits roll. Read the rest of the story...

Despite their temptingly low prices, PC gamers appear to be rejecting 8GB graphics cards, with the prices of these cards dropping substantially compared to their 16GB equivalents. Right now, several AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB graphics cards are going for just $269.99, undercutting the MSRP by $30, and there are identical reductions available on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB cards. As I found in my recent AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT review, the 16GB version of this card is now the best GPU if you're on a tight budget, while the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is the one to buy if you have a bit more money to spend. It's telling that neither AMD nor Nvidia sent me samples of the 8GB versions of these cards, and it's obvious why - 8GB simply isn't enough VRAM to run some of the latest games at high settings now, let alone in two years.

If you've even idly checked in on the robust world of Doom fan development in recent years, you've probably encountered one of the hundreds of gameplay mods, WAD files, or entire commercial games based on GZDoom. The open source Doom port—which can trace its lineage back to the original launch of ZDoom back in 1998—adds modern graphics rendering, quality-of-life additions, and incredibly deep modding features to the original Doom source code that John Carmack released in 1997. Now, though, the community behind GZDoom is publicly fracturing, with a large contingent of developers uniting behind a new fork called UZDoom. The move is in apparent protest of the leadership of GZDoom creator and maintainer Cristoph Oelckers (aka Graf Zahl), who recently admitted to inserting untested AI-generated code into the GZDoom codebase. "Due to some disagreements—some recent; some tolerated for close to 2 decades—with how collaboration should work, we've decided that the best course of action was to fork the project," developer Nash Muhandes wrote on the DoomWorld forums Wednesday. "I don't want to see the GZDoom legacy die, as do most all of us, hence why I think the best thing to do is to continue development through a fork, while introducing a different development model that highly favors transparent collaboration between multiple people."
