PCIe 4.0 drives are coming down in price fast, and nowhere is this more evident than with Ebuyer’s recent sale on the WD Black SN770 2TB drive. It normally costs £190, but this has dropped to £170 today. That’s an awesome deal on a high speed PCIe 4.0 drive that works on both PC and

When I was a kid, I had a Luke Skywalker action figure with a lightsaber that slid out of his wrist. It was one of my prized possessions, even though the details were lacking. This version of Luke looked more like an elf from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer claymation film than actor Mark Hamill.

A bit later than planned, but we’re back once again for another edition of The RPS Time Capsule, in which the RPS Treehouse undergoes a collective mind-melting experiment to pick their favourite, bestest best games from a specific year to be preserved and saved until the end of time. This month, we’ve shifted our game

While fads come and go, mech games continue to simmer pleasantly away without ever taking over or going away. The latest one I’ve finally made some time for is Ignited Steel Colon Mech Tactics, a turn-based tactical game with a light sprinkling of FTL. Despite appearances, it’s quite mildly roguelike, and those of you who

AMD’s FSR 2.0 upscaler is out now – in only one game, Deathloop, but still. This is a big moment for the heavily upgraded FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), as it’s basically attempting to fight Nvidia’s rival DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) with some of its own tactics. There’s none of Nvidia’s machine learning enhancements, but

Epic Games has announced that the next artist in its Soundwave Series, which sees artists from around the world perform on creative islands, is rapper Emicida.  Emicida is one of the biggest rappers in Brazil, and his performance will begin Friday, April 29, at 6 p.m. EST. It will repeat non-stop for 72 hours until

The RTX 3070 Ti is a great mid-range to high-end GPU, with excellent performance in rasterised games plus DLSS and RT support, but it’s been hard to find at a good price if you haven’t lucked out with a Founders Edition restock. Prices for third-party cards are slowly falling, and now have reached within £100

Techland has announced that Update 1.3.0 will hit Dying Light 2 Stay Human this week, and it brings with it a fan-requested feature, New Game Plus.  More specifically, this update will hit the zombie parkour title this Wednesday, April 27. It will not only bring New Game Plus to Dying Light 2, but address numerous

PAX East 2022 has officially closed its doors for another year. We’ve had a great time over the last four days, but alas, it’s time for us to head back home to the RPS Treehouse, find a nice cosy corner, and sleep for 100 years. Before we do that, though, here’s our final daly round-up

The first McPixel was one of those point and click adventures that was just so wholesomely silly that it won you over with its mix of daft humour and bonkers, quickfire ‘save the day’ scenarios. Now, everyone’s favourite bomb disposal expert is back in McPixel 3 (solo developer Sos Sosowski prefers we never mention the

Recently, we asked what’s the deal with all the wacky golf games coming out this year? Well, we thought we better answer that question by going straight to the source. While we were out at PAX East 2022, we tracked down the director of upcoming roguelike Cursed To Golf, Liam Edwards. As well as asking

Another week has flown by, another busy handful of weekdays have disappeared in no time. Blizzard had a big week, announcing the new World of Warcraft expansion Dragonflight (we have previews of it here and here) as well as detailing the character reworks coming in the Overwatch 2 beta. A Ghostbusters VR game was announced from Sony Pictures

Chants of Sennaar is an eye-catching narrative adventure game that debuted at PAX East whose story is steeped in the legend of Babel. As a robed figure, you must unite a population shunned by the gods by restoring their primary connection: language. The core of the experience involved decoding ancient languages to communicate with the Tower

A former Sony IT security analyst named Emma Majo filed a lawsuit against Sony PlayStation in 2021, alleging that “Sony discriminated against female employees, including those who are female and those who identify as female, in compensation and promotion and subjects them to a work culture predominated by men.”  Major sought court approval in 2021

Hullo chaps! Yes, it’s another US processor deal, as there have been quite a few good ones recently. The 12700K is my personal pick of the new Intel 12th-gen family, as it offers the same number of performance cores and therefore much the same performance as the flagship 12900K – all while producing far less

Paradox Interactive has revealed that the Shadowrun Trilogy is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch this summer.  More specifically, the newly-remastered trilogy will hit these consoles on June 21. This will be the first time these cyberpunk-fantasy RPGs have ever been released on console, having been previously exclusive to

Sega has unveiled the first trailer for Sonic Origins, the remastered collection of Sonic’s best Genesis-era titles first teased last May.  Origins remasters Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3/Knuckles, and Sonic CD with the sharper resolution, new and improved animations, and fun tweaks such as the ability to play as Sonic’s two sidekicks across any

With your help, I’m on a mission to answer the biggest question: what’s the best things in video games? With a wholly sensical face-off between two things each week, we’ll surely soon discover the absolute best thing. I am tremendously sorry to report that last time (which I imagine was only a week or two

This Lenovo Legion laptop with an RTX 3060 graphics card was selling for £950 at the start of the year, but now you can pick up for £800 after a sizeable discount at Amazon. That’s a fair price for a laptop with good mid-level specs, including an 11th-gen Core i5 11400H processor (6C/12T), 8GB of

Nintendo has pushed the release date for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 up by a couple of months.  When Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was announced earlier this year, Nintendo said it would hit Switch sometime this September. However, in a new three-minute trailer released by Nintendo today, the company reveals that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will now be released

Playdate reviewA joyous and magical little handheld that will appeal to anyone who has a deep love of games and new experiences. Its added PC functionality is also a surprising bonus. Developer: Panic, Teenage Engineering From: Playdate Price: $179 On paper, Panic’s Playdate doesn’t have a lot to do with PC. It’s a standalone handheld

Marvel Studios has released an official teaser trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder.  This trailer comes just months before this sequel, which is directed by Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi, hits theaters. With the release of this trailer, Thor: Love and Thunder now holds the record for the shortest amount of time between a Marvel

Waffle is a free, browser-based word game with a single puzzle each day and plentiful green and yellow squares. Beyond that, it has some pretty major differences from Wordle. It doesn’t require you to type the letters, for one. Instead, Waffle presents you with a grid of five intersecting words with all of the letters

Earlier this week, the PlayStation Studios website was updated so that the banner image included an picture of Sam Bridges from Death Stranding. Yesterday, Death Stranding designer and Kojima Productions founder Hideo Kojima tweeted a picture said banner. People then got excited, thinking this wordless tweet meant that Sony had acquired Kojima Productions. It caused

Congratulations, you made it halfway through the month of April in the year 2022 AD, and there’s still plenty of year to go around. This week on Game Informer was an exciting one, as we announced our grooviest issue so far featuring Evil Dead: The Game on the cover, we exclusively previewed a new Magic card, ranked the

Travis Touchdown’s most recent adventure from the minds of Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture, No More Heroes 3 has been a Switch exclusive since it was released. But as of today, that all changes because Xseed has announced it’s bringing NMH3 to more platforms this fall. No More Heroes 3 will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4,

It’s strange now to think that, until May 2020, there were no Dread X games. Indie publishers DreadXP have become so synonymous with tightly curated, intriguing horror experiences that it’s hard to believe the original demo anthology that kickstarted that reputation is only approaching its second anniversary. Regular RPS readers may already be aware that

Cyberpunk 2077’s first expansion will arrive in 2023, according to the game’s Twitter account. The tweet offers a little more detail after today’s CD Projekt Red investor call, in which it was confirmed that development work on the expansion was on the docket for 2022.

CD Projekt Red has released its 2021 Fiscal Year earnings, revealing new sales numbers for both its Witcher franchise and its latest game, Cyberpunk 2077.  To probably nobody’s surprise, both The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077 have sold really well for CDPR. In fact, as of today, The Witcher series has sold more than 65

Road 96 touts a procedurally-generated narrative about several teens crossing the border of the nation of Petria. Of course, we’ve seen our fair share of procedurally-generated levels in roguelikes. Still, the promise of a shifting, randomized story made Road 96 an ambitious experiment to watch when it dropped for Switch last year. And even though
