(Image credit: Rockstar) The Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy  is rife with enough bugs and glitches to make Cyberpunk 2077 flinch. The game, which just released this week and is currently unavailable to purchase after Rockstar removed the purchase links from its website, is filled with graphical glitches. Players are cataloging these issues and other, unintentionally funny problems all over social media and sharing their disbelief, amusement, and confusion. It didn't take long for people to start finding an assortment of issues with the high-definition remakes of Rockstar's three classic games. Players are capturing footage of blinding rain effects, invisible bridges, spontaneous blood pools, ridiculous camera angles, questionable changes from the original versions of the game, and much more. For the most part these issues haven't prevented people from running it, but it's not a good sign this early into its release. One odd thing players are reporting is frequent misspel...

Six years ago Games Workshop expanded their venerable Warhammer Fantasy Battle wargame by introducing the new, sexy Age of Sigmar. Out went the quasi-medieval Old World with its blocks of grubby foot knights, in came the multi-dimensional Mortal Realms and shiny, superhuman Stormcast Eternals. It had a warm reception – by which I mean one guy was so disgusted he set a thousand dollar model collection on fire – but six years is long enough for new blood to discover and adopt the setting. Barring a couple of digital card games and autobattlers, Storm Ground is Age of Sigmar’s first major outing in videogames – and you can buy it here, coincidentally. So, does Storm Ground land like a thunderbolt hurled from Azyr, or bubble up like a swampy fart in the rotten cauldron of Nurgle? The Age of Sigmar is a time of ceaseless war between the many Gods and their servants. Three factions feature in this turn-based strategy game, the lightning-riding Stormcast who serve beardy, hammer-fixated Sigma...

  The Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase at E3 2021 was mostly about one thing: Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft said that 27 of the 30 titles mentioned during the event, including five upcoming games from Xbox Game Studios, will be released on the company's game subscription service. Four of those first-party titles were given release dates: Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life is set to debut on June 22, Psychonauts 2 is slated to launch on August 25, Age of Empires IV is expected to arrive on October 28, and Forza Horizon 5 is supposed to be released on November 9. Halo Infinite, meanwhile, was only given a release window of "Holiday 2021." Microsoft did say that Halo Infinite will offer free online multiplayer—a series first—at launch. The description for the game's multiplayer reveal trailer claims that "Halo Infinite's free-to-play multiplayer experience is dynamic, ever-evolving, and arrives later this year on Xbox and PC." The trailer itself showcased a ...

There are – currently – eight Yakuza games now on Xbox, with a ninth one on the way in the form of detective spin-off, Judgment. Having been released at some rate over the past 14 months, players have hardly had chance to breathe! Yakuza 6 though represents the ending to Kazuma Kiryu’s saga – a journey that started in Yakuza 0 and 1980s Japan. Whilst being one of the best games in the series, it is also one of Kiryu’s most personal. Yakuza 6's plot is immediately compelling, even if you're new to Kazuma Kiryu's punch-laden saga. After a three year stint in prison, he discovers that his adoptive daughter, Haruka, has gone missing. He returns to Kamurocho, only to find that she's been left in a coma after a hit-and-run. But there's one more bombshell: she's got a baby son called Haruto. In a state of confusion, he hoists Haruto into his arms and travels to the seaside city of Onomichi in search of answers. And it's this switch-up from the hustle and bustle of ...

  When it comes to evaluating any title in the Battlefield franchise, it's important to remember that the only reason anyone plays campaign mode is to unlock new weapons in multiplayer. Despite great voice acting by Michael K. Williams (Omar from The Wire), campaign mode is little more than a four to six hour tutorial teaching you how to play the game. Multiplayer combat, on the other hand, captures the awe of destruction. You can run across the battlefield, ducking in and out of cover, board a helicopter, hop on the mini-gun, cut enemies to shreds, then hop off the gun and repair the helicopter while in flight. It's all in a day's work on the battlefield.

Metro Exodus basiert auf der bekannten Metro-Reihe des Autors Dmitri Alexejewitsch Gluchowski und führt die Geschichte Artyoms und des Romans Metro 2035 fort. Das Spiel greift die Handlung zu Beginn des Romans auf, überspringt dann das eigentliche Buch jedoch weiträumig und führt die Erzählung nach dessen Ende fort. Zu Beginn des Spiels verlassen Sie die Moskauer Metro und begeben sich mit einer alten Dampflok auf die lange, abwechslungsreiche Reise über die transsibirische Eisenbahn bis ans Ende der schier unendlichen Weiten Sibiriens. Auf dem Weg erkunden Sie weiträumige Karten, deren Umgebungen sich während der Reise quer über den Kontinent stark unterscheiden. Da sich am Gameplay selbst nichts verändert hat, verweisen wir an dieser Stelle auf unseren Technik-Test des Originals sowie auf den Artikel unserer Kollegen der PC Games . Die Enhanced Edition von Metro Exodus ist nicht einfach nur ein Patch, sondern kann als komplett neue Version angesehen werden. Die Entwickler haben die G...

  Outer Wilds is about exploring the unknown, but there’s a catch. The game’s pocket-sized solar system runs on a tight 22-minute loop. Each cycle ends with the player waking up, with everything seemingly reset, except for the knowledge they’ve gained by exploring space and the planets in it. Why this is happening, and what the player must do to set things right, make up one of the most intriguing mysteries in all of gaming.

Listen: When the original version of Fortnite launched, I hated it. And I wasn’t alone. At the time, it was a $40 early access title, an endlessly “soon-to-be-free-to-play” cooperative multiplayer hybrid building ... thing. There were zombies in it. You collected characters in the form of trading cards, and unlocked abilities from a skill tree. There was so much mindless clicking in the original version that my wrist would hurt after every each session. That original mode, called Save the World, is still in the game. It even has a small, but devoted, ongoing fan base. But their numbers are completely dwarfed by fans of the Battle Royale mode, what is now most often simply called “Fortnite.” Fortnite is arguably the biggest game in the world thanks to Battle Royale. It’s more than just a fast-follow of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. It’s a dynamic world with elements of Minecraft’s elaborate building systems, but Epic Games is also constantly adding little mysteries alongside the massiv...

One of the many benefits of PC gaming is the ability to get under the hood and tinker with the games that you already own. There’s no better series to satisfy the tinkerer’s itch than The Elder Scrolls. The franchise has embraced the modding community for nearly two decades, and the creative team behind it says that decision has had much to do with the series’ longevity and popularity over the years. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim serves as an excellent introduction to game modding, thanks to its integration with the Steam Workshop. Simply purchase and download the game, and you’ll be able to select from more than 28,000 community-created mods that add everything from new skins, items, and quest lines to large-scale battles. Of course, Skyrim is also available as a virtual reality title that’s fully compatible with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, or PlayStation VR for console fans. For those who want to dig a little deeper, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind provides a much more hands-on modding ex...

 PC gaming remains on the front lines of innovation “Tactical stealth” isn’t exactly a booming genre, but developer Mimimi seems to have the format perfectly dialed in. After the success of Shadow Tactics in 2016, the team took those same design tenets — small squads of specialized units tackling armies of soldiers with precision and quick-saving — to the Wild West with Desperados 3. Desperados 3 changes very little about what made Shadow Tactics great.  It’s still an isometric stealth game filled with vision cones and seemingly-impossible odds. But small tweaks, like being able to cue up your entire squad’s next action to all play out at the same time, make it a much more satisfying experience than its predecessor. The adventure is made up of stellar levels that look more like dioramas brought to life, each filled with charm and detail, from the rainy streets of New  Orleans to the dusty byways of a sun-beaten desert town. Picking these levels apart, piece by piece, usin...

  You may have heard of StickyLock Games, for it was they who helped deliver the wonderfully woolly world of Woven to console previously. Now though that same indie game developer are looking to create a game-changing first person shooter – Histera. Planned for full release on all major platforms including those of VR, Histera should arrive in full in early 2022. Before that time there is hope that a Steam Early Access release will occur in late 2021 But what is it? Well, Histera is a multiplayer first-person shooter that takes place in multiple simulated eras and moments in history, as well as taking players into the future. When it does arrive, it should also be possible for players to run around in high-tech armor fighting a rebel uprising, or stomp around in primitive clothes with improvised weapons, as they go about fighting a rival tribe. Histeria will see players experience vastly different surroundings, outfits and weapons that will force them to change up their tactics and...
