Diablo IV’s Barbarian class has struggled since the game came out two months ago. Even after some recent patches that buffed a few aspects of the character, its endgame doesn’t perform that well compared to other classes.

If you have a friend or significant other in your life who won’t shut up about how they’re on their umpteenth playthrough of the Mass Effect series, chances are you’ve slipped up and said something you probably shouldn’t have, possibly even questioning their love of BioWare’s space opera.

Bungie recently revealed the next major overhaul to combat in Destiny 2, and while the update mainly focuses on strengthening a number of underutilized Exotics, some of the biggest changes have to do with the overpowered subclass abilities players have been using to rampage through the game.

Kai Cenat briefly went live on Twitch late on August 10 to address the gaming giveaway turned flash mob he hosted in New York City a week earlier that drew massive crowds and eventually the police, resulting in multiple injuries. “I’m beyond disappointed in anybody who became disruptive that day,” he told viewers. “I…

Baldur’s Gate 3 has surpassed The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as the highest-ratest game of 2023 on Metacritic.

Can you imagine Luke Skywalker singing? Probably not. But just recently, Star Treklet Spock, Kirk, and even some Klingons sing and dance. And it didn’t happen in a weird dream or some obscure book for super nerds, but in an episode of the franchise’s current flagship series. Again, can you imagine Lucasfilm letting…

Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is a damn chatty game. With voice lines regularly erupting from the series’ legendary announcer, the dueling Spartans themselves, and the series’ new personal AIs, voices come at you as often as bullets and grenades.

Gather ‘round, gamers—more specifically PlayStation Plus subscribers—because a new lineup of games is coming to you this August and unlike last month’s horror-themed offerings, this month’s helpings feature a tonal variety of games, including a turned-based role-playing game hitting the service on day one.

Florida Governor, Disney hater, and high-heeled shoe fan Ron DeSantis announced the immediate suspension of a democratically elected state attorney on August 9 with the help of an online meme. The resulting scene is sad, confusing, and yet another example of how the terminally online politician is just the worst.

Atlas Fallen is a classic jack-of-all-trades, master of none. It’s an open-world action RPG Metroidvania platformer with co-op that tries to do so many things it rarely does any of them well. That doesn’t make it a bad game, just, more often than not, a forgettable one. I had some fun surfing its sandy dunes and…

Everyone in the Final Fantasy fandom has feelings about the long-running series that are as varied as its mainline entries.

I don’t think Pokémon Sleep is for people like me. By that, I mean adults with a relatively consistent sleep schedule with things to do as soon as they wake up. Adults who don’t want to be bombarded with numbers and thoughts of collecting Pokémon the moment their eyes open. But I definitelysee the appeal for parents…

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles revival is in full swing.

The recently released Baldur’s Gate 3 is a massive RPG with high replay value due to all the choices you can make, so it might seem weird to be talking about the game getting an expansion.

I love a video game crossover as much as the next person, and fighting games are a perfect platform for absurd matchups. Unfortunately, at $15 each, the price of new Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello costumes in Street Fighter 6 is giving a lot of players sticker shock.
