As you may or may not be aware, I’m a big fan of the Adeptus Mechanicus. I usually like playing as the remnants of humanity in my science-fiction games, but the Space Marines are more dull than Roboute Guilliman’s secret diary and the Astra Militarum feel like they’re made for gamers who would rather be playing an historical wargame. In the case ofWarhammer 40K, that leaves just theAdeptus Mechanicus. They’re the masters of technology in the 41st millennium, resurrecting archaic blueprints and investigating xenos tech in order to push humanity’s crusade through the stars ever further....

Quick Links Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrailbrings the Warrior of Light to the vibrant world of Tural, a continent across the sea to the west of Eorzea. While theMain Scenario will take dozens of hours to beat, and that’s without getting side-tracked, the end of this story marks the beginning of much more to do in the game. If you’ve beaten Dawntrail’s Main Scenario Quests and hit level 100, you may be overwhelmed with options for what to do next, or maybe you have no idea where to start....

Quick Links HoYoverse games are known for having various difficult collectibles around the world, andZenless Zone Zerois no different.

Earlier this week, I wrote about fumbling a baddie, i.e.mishandling a crucial conversation with Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3 so badly that he left my party. In that piece, I talked about how the negative feelings a work of art can give us are a gift. Sticking with the decisions that made Astarion angry enough to ditch me was worth it, because it meant that I was experiencing the breadth of what the game had to offer, not just save-scumming until I got the best outcomes....

Summary Zombiegames have the potential to be emotionally impactful as humanity faces the ultimate test of survival. However, not every apocalypse has to be a gritty downer. Sometimes, the dead rising can be the perfect opportunity to break free from the mundane patterns of living and truly start enjoying life. These zombie apocalypses are full of nonsensical scenarios with zany characters and cartoonish powers. So, which zombie games offer the funniest experiences, and which ones manage to find the silver lining in a world where the dead have come back to life?...

Summary Tycoon games allow you to build a commercial (or literal) empire and take it to heights you could only dream about. The joys of running your own business, achieving victory over your competitors, and having it all come crashing down due to your own hubris are all within your reach in any flavor you want. While most tycoon games offer a robust single-player experience,the multiplayer optionsyou’re left with are usually pretty bare-bones....

Thefirst trailer for Captain America: Brave New World dropped last week, and it looks like theMCU’s first big release of 2025 is going to crib from ’90s thrillers as much as The Winter Soldier cribbed from ’70s thrillers. By that I mostly mean that it’s a political thriller prominently featuring Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford Was The King Of ’90s Thrillers Ford made a lot of movies in that mode in the ’90s....

Are you as hyped as we are for the latestAstro Botgame?

Celebrating the release, Sony and Good Smile Company have rereleased the classic chibi figure for fans to gush over. This figure is almost too cute to bear, with three different face plates you can swap out, one with his regular circular eyes, one with the super adorable arrow eyes, and then a last one with his happy crescent-shaped eyes....

He’s an ideal fit for any DPS role, but can also tank a lot of damage, making him a more versatile option.
