The mystery of Red Dead Redemption 2’s missing princess of Luxembourg has possibly been solved thanks to the work of some intrepid dataminers. While Rockstar has had a bit of a rocky launch with Red Dead Redemption 2’s PC port, fans are once again getting sucked in by their hyper-realistic cowboy simulator. One of the advantages of RDR2 finally arriving on personal computers is that the game’s files are now available to be manipulated by resourceful players, and as a result, we have an idea about how the tale of Princess Isabeau Katharina Zinsmeister was supposed to play out....

If you are wondering how to remove weapon charms in Resident Evil Village, here’s how to do it. These charms are cosmetics which are a part of weapon customization. They don’t impact the performance of your weapon, they are just there for the ‘look’. In a horror game like this, though, you might not want the charm to be there at some moments. It does break the immersion. Aiming will be impacted by it especially since you are already pretty scared....

I was asked to cover Risk of Rain 2 when it was on the tail end of its Early Access run. Indeed, I didn’t know what to expect, but I came in with an open mind. I knew that the original achieved modest success, but the sequel, even while it was still in development, blew it out of the water. Fast forward to the present and we’ve seen just how far Risk of Rain 2 has come thanks to its Anniversary Update....

This review contains spoilers. 3.2 Fortune And Men’s Eyes Leading up to this season, the cast and crew of Riverdale has made it a point to state that, despite the arrival of cults and Gargoyle Kings and mysterious teens who can apparently inflict seizures upon their classmates, that the show is not getting supernatural. Uh huh, sure you aren’t. Even if sister series Chilling Adventures of Sabrinaweren’t debuting next Friday, it wouldn’t be difficult to refute this claim....

The 2019 Overwatch League regular season ended with the biggest party of the year. The Los Angeles Valiant hosted the Kit-Kat Rivalry Weekend, which promised to bring great matches and an electric atmosphere to the end of the season. The rivalry weekend highlighted some of the biggest match-ups of their year, the strongest rivalries in the league, dunk tanks, and some spicy drama. Overwatch League juggernauts were on display over the weekend....

The time has finally come for PC players to join the Phantom Thieves. Persona 5 Royal brings over 100 hours worth of story, combat, and social simulation to anyone who has yet to sink time into the game after all these years. After impressing me with Soul Hackers 2 the other month, Atlus has given us another mostly good port that has left me quite satisfied. The game is fairly hefty too, with a nearly 40 GB install size unpacked from a 33 GB download....

Persona 5 Strikers isn’t exactly a game that’s heavy on the puzzles, which is why the ones it does have can kinda come out of nowhere. The Misty Path, right at the end of Persona 5 Strikers, is one of these. Funnily enough, it’s not actually difficult to figure out what you’re meant to do. It is, however, difficult to actually do it. Because of the way the game’s mechanics work, it’s very easy to think you’re doing the wrong thing simply because the game doesn’t react the way you expect....

Towards the end of Alice’s Jail in Persona 5 Strikers, you’ll need to hit several switches in the correct order. Doing so will allow you inside an elevator that’ll get you closer to Alice’s Shadow. However, solving this puzzle can prove problematic for anyone who hasn’t remembered to use their thief vision. Holding down the appropriate key or left trigger will show you hidden details and the game hints at it....

Pokemon has always been a beloved IP amongst its large fanbase, but even the newer games seem to be missing a certain touch that the older games had. Whether it be the classic top-down view, the pixelated art style, or for me personally, the challenge. Over the years there have been a plethora of fan games trying to bring back that spark the older generations had. Recently an ambitious un-licensed Pokemon game called Phoenix Rising hit the web....

Frontier Developments has made a name for itself in the industry for its wonderful management sims. With a team comprised of staff that worked on the original Rollercoaster Tycoon, it only makes sense that the company would have a penchant for rekindling the joy of the early 00’s “Tycoon” boom. What was once a massively popular genre of games has kind of fallen out of favor in recent times, though obviously not with Frontier....

The name Platinum Games brings something very specific to mind, or perhaps more accurately, several very specific games. Fans of the development company’s work have been eagerly awaiting the big announcements Platinum Games said were coming in 2020, and the third of these just dropped in an expectation defying way. Platinum Games’ teased big announcements have a number, and that number is four, with the previous two being announced over the last two days....

PLAY Expo Leeds, a one-day gaming event, will take place at Leeds United Football Club on April 16, Replay Events has announced.

When Sony finally confirmed its long-rumoured PlayStation Plus revamp back in March, it slapped a rough June launch window on the service, promising additional details to follow. And now it’s delivered, giving the overhauled subscription service a launch target of 22nd June in Europe and 13th June in the US. That’s according to an update on Sony’s official PlayStation Blog which, alongside the target dates mentioned above, also reveals a planned 1st June launch for the new PlayStation Plus in Japan and an even earlier 23rd May arrival in all other Asian markets....

Antagonists in Pokémon tend to be hit or miss, but one thing is certain: Team Rocket rocks. By far the most iconic, prevalent, and interesting antagonists in the series, Team Rocket can (almost) always be counted on to serve as villains. After all, they’re basically just domestic terrorists, something fairly grounded when later villains try to flood the planet. While the anime’s depiction of Team Rocket is all over the place with no real cohesion, the games keep things consistent....

Pokémon as a franchise has sparked the imagination of kids around the world for over 20 years. The numerous creatures based on real-world animals and ideas have opened the door to hundreds of creatures that trainers grow attached to for various reasons. There happens to be a group of pokémon, however, that eerily resemble humans and can be quite unnerving to those looking at them for the first time. Let’s take a look at 10 pokémon that are way too human-like to exist in any capacity....

Pokémon Go enjoyed a pretty incredible month of September, banking a little less than $85 million and almost breaking the 9 million mark for downloads. During the summer of 2016, the world was taken over by the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go. The augmented reality mobile game allowed players to go out into the wild and find Pokémon in the real world. The game’s developers, Niantic, knew that it would be popular, but we don’t think anyone was prepared for exactly how much traction it gained....

Niantic’s next game involves caring for and breeding fictional creatures - but it’s nothing to do with Pokémon. Instead, Peridot is a brand new creation by Niantic itself - the company’s first for many years - and one it’s aiming at an even wider audience. With Peridot, Niantic seems to be gunning for the now-vacant Neopets market (RIP Neopets), with cutesy Pixar-esque characters, Tamagotchi-style gameplay and - because this is a Niantic game - a good old nudge every so often to get you off your sofa....

In a short Pokémon Direct today, Nintendo has announced that Pokkén Tournament DX will be the first Pokémon game coming to the Nintendo Switch system. The game will join ARMS and Splatoon 2 as part of Nintendo’s E3 lineup, with a Pokkén Tournament DX invitational tournament taking place on Wednesday June 14. It’ll be streaming from 6.30 pm, BST. Pokkén Tournament DX is a fighting game, originally released on the Wii U....

PlayStation has revealed it already has over 20 games confirmed for the upcoming PS VR2 headset at launch. The declaration appeared in the latest Sony Business Segment Briefing spotted by Video Games Chronicle. In the segment, Jim Ryan claims the headset already has “20+ major first-party & third-party titles confirmed for PS VR2 at launch”. While it didn’t say what these titles were specifically, the slide did include the previously-announced Horizon: Call of the Mountain....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) can be the most fun or frustrating game ever depending on a lot of different factors. If you are a casual player that just enjoys the atmosphere, then this game probably won’t bother you that much. However, if you are competitive and trying to break into the final ten finally, this game is perhaps wrecking your world. You can get to the last 20 and can even sneak your way into the final 15, but for some reason, you are always taken out at the worst time....
