Stellaris offers an amount of content to the players as big as the universe you can explore in the game. Of course, the game has evolved quite a bit since it was launched, mainly thanks to the release of several DLC. In most cases, those DLC are paid content, but the community usually welcomes the opportunity of funding the developers' efforts to make the game in good shape and permanent evolution. If anything, Paradox Interactive may be accused of adding...

Believe it or not, video games can be more than lots of action, spectacular visual effects, and thrilling combats. Some of them can even be used as educational tools. Ubisoft has achieved such a feat thanks to the historical accuracy of the games in the Assassin's Creed series, and the studio has developed the Discovery Tours, a new way of learning about history. We already had the opportunity of going through such an experience in Assassin's Creed Odyssey...

In Total War: Warhammer III, the conflict between Order and Chaos will move to quite a different scenario. The Old World will be left behind, and the Realm of Chaos will be where the ultimate battle against the four evil gods and their armies of demons will occur. The game will add two new human factions that will try to resist the corruption of the Ruinous Powers. We already had a chance of watching the armies of Kislev in action...

Let's face it; Darkest Dungeon is not a game that all players love. There are quite a few that can't cope with its stress mechanics, which drive most of the characters into madness one way or another. Exploring the depths of a haunted mansion while facing unspeakable terrors of all kinds is quite a challenge, but seeing how one hero after another is scrapped to progress through the game is not something all players can handle. Fortunately, it's not been...

The huge success of the recent Diablo 2: Resurrected open beta has demonstrated that there is a huge number of players that are interested in playing this new version of the classic ARPG.

Games in the Borderlands series offer us an unending cacophony of explosions and shootouts as we explore a vast universe searching for treasure and unraveling the secrets of the Vaults, especially Borderlands 3, which is the maximum exponent of all that mayhem. But the unmistakable style of the series is also the origin of very popular characters who are the base for other adventures. It first happened with Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, a Borderlands...

Ubisoft seems to be running out of ideas when it comes to enemies for its Rainbow Six games. Players have faced plenty of different threats over the years, but it seems that the studio is now looking for threats beyond the borders of our world, and Rainbow Six Extraction is the proof. The upcoming installment in the popular first-person shooter franchise does not take players to a new world, but it pits them against an enemy of alien...

A few days ago, we told you that Remedy confirmed the upcoming release of Alan Wake Remastered. This new version of the classic survival horror thriller will put you in the shoes of the famous novelist as he returns to Bright Falls.

We witnessed plenty of announcements during the last Gamescom, but yesterday's PlayStation Showcase 2021 brought us news about some of the most anticipated games. God of War Ragnarok was the star of the show, and we could finally watch the first footage of Kratos' new adventure in a video. Santa Monica Studio didn't disappoint us, and the God of War Ragnarok...

The films in the Alien series have been the inspiration to many games, but pitting a group of colonial marines against deadly xenomorphs can be considered a classic theme in action games. Rather than delving into the more survival-horror side of the popular franchise like Alien Isolation, Aliens: Fireteam Elite allows you to shoot down dozens of deadly alien creatures with the help of your friends, much in the way of the Aliens film directed by James Cameron...

The announcement of Deathloop left many of us wondering about its features and gameplay. It's not the first game where the main character is trapped in a temporal loop. Still, the perspective of being an assassin that has to eliminate several targets while being hunted by another killer adds a certain degree of novelty to the game. As Arkane Studios and Bethesda Softworks revealed more information about their upcoming adventure, it was quite clear that Deathloop would offer an amazing...

It's a good way of promoting Far Cry 6, which is scheduled for...

The upcoming launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard will bring plenty of novelties to the series, but the new game will also...

The possibility of a remake of the popular psychological horror adventure Alan Wake has been in the rumor mill for a long while. Remedy Entertainment launched the game back in 2012, and it became a hit thanks to its narrative and a different approach to survival horror that didn't quite fit into the premises of the genre. Alan Wake puts you in the shoes of the eponymous character, a best-selling crime novelist who is suffering from a bad...

Underestimating the power of the players can be a risky thing, even for big companies. Sony Interactive Entertainment has been immersed in a huge controversy that started a few days ago when they announced that players who own Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 would have to pay to upgrade the game to the PlayStation 5 version. Developer Guerrilla Games and Sony announced it last week, and the players' response regarding this matter has been so overwhelming that they have...

With a huge number of action games going free-to-play in the last few years, it's not surprising that one based on the World of Darkness appears.

The city of Prague serves as the scenario for a cruel war between vampires that has the Entity as an unwanted...

A wide variety of options to choose from regarding what version of a gamer to purchase is common nowadays, especially if the game is popular.
