Pragmata review
The human brain is divided into two hemispheres; the left brain and the right brain. To put it unscientifically and very simply, the left hemisphere manages language and logic, and the right hemisphere specialises in spatial awareness and intuition. I have long been an advocate of video games for activating both sides of the brain: engaging creatively with problem-solving and applying logic whilst also using your hands to dexterously and precisely engage with a platform has been proven to encour

"You think we're stupid?" - Players react to Pokémon and Palworld lookalike Pickmon being renamed to "better align with our brand identity and lore"

This week in PC games: sci-fi shooter Pragmata, 2.5D platformer Replaced, and the most wishlisted game on Steam compete with illuminated manuscripts
As you may well know, Edwin has been devoured by The Maw more than once in his time as news editor. Though you cant say he's not learned from the experience of being a digestee. Knowing that The Maw becomes particularly agitated in weeks stuffed with new releases, I suspect he saw the bloated Steam Upcoming chart and hastily booked his holiday, leaving us to wrangle the beast.

Stop Killing Games throw weight behind California bill that would force companies to either keep games working independently after server shutdowns or issue refunds
Stop Killing Games, the campaign group seeking to prevent online games being rendered unplayable when publishers shut down their servers, have moved to support a Californian bill that in its current form would require studios to either update games with impending server shutterings to they keep working independently aftwards or provide full refunds. The movement also claim their UK efforts are "far from dead in the water", noting they were called in to advise the Department for Culture, Media &
"Players always get through them faster than we think" - inside Bungie's big Marathon ARG
There was this wonderful energy around Marathon a few weeks ago. Not unusual for a brand-new release, sure, but altogether different than the usual hype-laden first impressions. No, this had the unmistakable feeling of a treasure hunt, a community-wide push to unlock something tangible: the Cryo Archive map. All they had to do was solve one measly alternate reality game (ARG). How hard could it be? Read more

Black & White at 25: how Lionhead's harebrained, stoner-powered game design became the harbinger of modern AI
Your disembodied hand trembles with raw power. It can raze forests, summon storms, and dedicate villagers to single tasks for their entirety of their humble lives: fishing, for example, or the most profound act of all - procreation (fine, shagging). But in Black & White, which recently turned 25-years-old, your divine command of mind and matter does not extend to the capricious creature roaming the grassy land below. This pesky being may be your godly will made flesh, but they're liable to disse
The Pines asks what would Alan Wake look like if it was about therapy, and I kind of want to know the answer
Therapy is not the cure all that many like to make it out to be, but that doesn't mean your favourite gruff fictional detective couldn't still do it. This is, sort of, what The Pines is about, a game that if you squint real hard could probably pass for Alan Wake. The vibes are certainly similar, especially with Alan Wake 2, given that The Pines sees its protagonist finding himself in a strange, wooded (sort of) town, but it's got enough of its own thing going on to pique my interest.

Following mass layoffs, Epic are reportedly putting their hopes on a Disney extraction shooter
I do not like the combination of the words "Epic Games," "Disney," and "extraction shooter," yet write them I must. That's because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal.

Crimson Desert's latest update beckons you to abandon the last of your attention span with its new 4x cutscene speed option
There are a myriad of reasons you might want to skip a cutscene in a game. It plays right before a boss you keep dying to and you just want to get back to it, you're a speedrunner, hell, you just don't care all that much about the story but like the gameplay. Different strokes! What I don't really understand is a desire to watch all the cutscenes, but sped up, an option Crimson Desert has offered right from the get go. Which, through its latest update, can go even faster. So long attention span,
What are we all playing this weekend?
After months of pleading for the sun to show its face, I'm actually feeling quite warm now. Potentially, I'd go so far as to say I'm too toasty. I'm not saying I'm looking forward to winter. But I'm not not saying it. Read more
