Story Highlight Monster Hunter Wilds enjoyed a highly successful launch in the US, ranking first in weekly dollar sales across PC and other platforms. The entry performed the best on PC despite massive performance issues in the port, confirming the series’ increasing popularity on PC.

Monster Hunter Wilds on PC delivers a great core gameplay experience, but performance issues and bad optimization become gamers’ bane. So, one would have expected the entry to sell poorly on PCs compared to consoles. Instead, the…

Now, developer MAGES and publisher Spike Chunsoft, Inc. have brought Never 7: The End of Infinity and Ever 17: The Out of Infinity to the West in brand-new remastered editions. Game Rant spoke with Uchikoshi about the initial development process of…
Severance is the kind of show that begets speculation. Some fans have theories about the show’s central mysteries (it’s gotta be a cloning thing!); others have strong opinions on various ships (what if Helly and Gemma both leave Mark for each other??). And then there’s me. I’m over here thinking about the seminal work of one Dr. Ricken Lazlo Hale, Ph.D.In the world of Severance, Mark Scout’s brother-in-law, Ricken, wrote a self-help book titled The You You Are. An advance copy meant for Mark made its way to the severed floor in season 1, inspiring MDR to rise up and…

Techno Banter almost put us off at the first juncture because of the name alone. Banter. It’s such an insipid word. Used to excuse all kinds of boorish behaviour by awful knuckle dragging idiots. Bullying if you ask us. Thankfully it’s just a name as it turns out that Techno Banter is quite intriguing. Coming from Berlin-based dev Dexai Arts and publisher Crunching Koalas, it’s a bouncer simulator of sorts. Playing as Nill, a dog faced anthropomorphic heavy, you start in the penthouse of a posh guy called Bidenhander. An entrepreneurial type of sorts, you see a party in…
