When you're against such fearsome foes, you'd be forgiven for taking any possible shortcut to gain an advantage. The Blood of Dawnwalker pits you against four of the worst enemies imaginable, and at one point in the story, you have the option to utilize poison to tip the balance in your favor - but at [...]

There are times in Coen's journey when he'll have to do bad things to achieve something good - getting his family back means going up against some fearsome foes, and the path to redemption, in this case, is stained with blood. You don't have to become your enemy to beat your enemy, though, and there [...]

Time is of the essence in The Blood of Dawnwalker - you only have 30 days to save your family, after all. But that doesn't mean that Coen can't develop some relationships along the way. And you can even get romantically involved with some of the allies you pick up on your journey to Brencis. [...]

Fighting in the daytime, you would be forgiven for thinking that Coen is a lot less dangerous; after all, he doesn't have claws, he can't teleport, and he can't drain his enemies in an instant. While you'll have to rely on your swordsmanship and witchcraft, you can still take on the toughest opponents as a [...]

There are more than a few advantages to fighting at night in The Blood of Dawnwalker: huge, razor-sharp claws, the ability to teleport, and, if you can unlock it, the Mandrake Ward perk. Being a vampire has its pluses, but to unlock the most powerful of them all, you'll have to jump through a few [...]

One of the first real dilemmas you face in The Blood of Dawnwalker occurs before you've ever left your village. One of the residents has been tasked with creating an unholy banner for your vampiric overlords, but it's gone missing. Unless you put your detective hat on and find it, the consequences could be dire [...]

Capcom has removed Denuvo, the oft-derided digital rights management software, from Dragon's Dogma 2 ahead of the upcoming Dark Arisen expansion. It's unclear at the moment if it will be replaced with another piece of software to protect against piracy, but with the anecdotes of Denuvo impacting performance being rife, players are taking this as [...]

According to a report by Game File's Stephen Totilo, "most" of Star Wars Zero Company's studio, Bit Reactor, has been without pay since before launch. A sizeable chunk of the staff were furloughed ahead of release, with a rep for Bit Reactor telling Totilo that it was "a difficult decision and one that had been [...]

It must be so tricky, taking on a project beloved by so many, but that's exactly what Jean-Félix Monin and the team over at Ubisoft are doing with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Remake. A cornerstone of turn-based tactics and PC gaming in general, the series still has a following and, therefore, an expectation [...]

PM Studios has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, from huge projects like Avatar Legends to smaller endeavors like Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. We sat down with the company CEO, Michael Yum, at Gamescom to find out just what it's like to work with established IPs v indies, and how he [...]

"The reason we have the animated trailers and everything, it comes from me sitting down one evening and being like, I want to make Valheim: The Anime." Robin Eyre, Valheim's Creative Lead, talks us through just why he went all-in on slick cinematics, what he hopes for the future, and how things didn't quite turn [...]

The food analogies are strong with the Total War: Warhammer 40k devs this year. We sat down for a chat with Joy Dey, Lead Designer, and Dave Petry, Battle Products Owner, to talk about the scale of 40k, how you build a good Warhammer sauce, and if we're going to see Necrons any time soon. [...]

Alien Isolation, like most of the films in the legendary series, is claustrophobic. That's the point; you're trapped somewhere with something otherworldly and terrifying - there is nowhere to go, nowhere to run. Hiding is often the best bet. With Alien Isolation 2 adding outdoor, open areas into the mix, we wondered how that affects [...]

There are a fair few themes floating around in the first Plague Tale and its sequel Requiem, perhaps none of which have stuck with us as much as the hordes of rats that were occasionally at our beck and call. A very real symbol of plague, and visually, a stunning bit of kit. Strange then, [...]

We haven't had a new K/DA song, or, in fact, heard anything from the elite League of Legends girl group for years - hopefully that's going to change, and soon. There is a new registration with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) by a band called K/DA for a track named 'Watch [...]
