Destiny 2 has tweaked Hard Light, the disco-spamming gun that’s dominated PvP
If you’ve played Destiny 2 PvP this season, you have almost certainly been cut down by Hard Light. And then again. And again. The Exotic auto rifle became real strong after buffs this season, and has been statistically the most-used gun in Crucible. It’s a recognisable problem too, because it spits colourful lasers bouncing off […]
Call Of Duty: Warzone has quietly removed Bounty Contracts and it is a travesty
Look, maybe I’m overreacting, but seeing this did genuinely just make me do a high-pitched yelp at my screen, so I’m going to run with that emotion. Call Of Duty: Warzone‘s latest update has removed Bounty Contracts from the game. These were optional in-game missions where you had to hunt down a player from an […]
Runeterra is out of beta, and the new cards make it worth playing again
Me and Legends Of Runeterra had been drifting away from each other, like lovers on flotsam tugged apart by cruel ocean currents. We’d ran out of surprises.

Stone age farmlife sim Roots Of Pacha announced for next year

Even I grow slightly weary of pastoral anywheresville so I quite like seeing the farm and life sim trend breaking ground in […]
The Elder Scrolls Online’s next expansion is delayed but only by a week
As have many game studios during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, Zenimax Online’s developers have been working from home. Zenimax previously acknowledged that this could impact the release date for The Elder Scrolls Online‘s next expansion set in Western Skyrim. They’ve now piped up to say that they’re pushing back its release date, but only by […]
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla announced, starring burly beardy Vikings
Following a curious build-up through a livestreamed drawing, Ubisoft today announced Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This time, Vikings seem to be the stars of the sandbox murder simulator. For now, all Ubisoft have to show is a seven-hour drawing and all they have to say is mutterings about the lads coming “to conquer a new land” […]
