Medieval city-builder Manor Lords continues to gather steam ahead of its Early Access release, which is doubly impressive considering its set in a preindustrial society. The game surpassed three million wishlists on Steam over the weekend, adding another 500,000 to the total in the span of seven days.
Created by solo developer Greg Styczeń, also known as Slavic Magic, Manor Lords is a comprehensive and intimate simulation of medieval life. It’s been hotly anticipated since its announcement back in 2020, but the hype has been building rapidly since the start of 2024. Last week, the game officially topped Steam’s wishlist chart, surpassing games like Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong.
There’s good reason why Manor Lords is so feverishly sought after. Fraser took a walk along the game’s muddy, cart-rutted streets earlier this month, and had a grand old time planning out homes, claiming neighbouring regions, battling bandits, and setting his entire village on an exclu…
พรีเมียร์ลีก ปฏิเสธสปอนเซอร์สองรายของ แมนเชสเตอร์ ซิตี้ ซึ่งก็คือ เอติฮัด แอร์เวย์ และธนาคารแห่งหนึ่งในอาบูดาบี ด้วยเหตุผลว่ามาจากบุคคลที่เกี่ยวข้องกับสโมสรหรือเจ้าของทีมซึ่งเข้าข่ายผิดกฏ “เอพีที”

The team-based swords-and-sorcery brawler Warhaven launched into early access on Steam on September 20, 2023. Today, just four months later, Nexon has announced that it will be closing down for good in April.
“Today, we are here to announce with a heavy heart that we will be concluding the live services of Warhaven,” Nexon wrote on Steam.
“To create a game that could be cherished and enjoyed over an extended period, we invested much consideration and effort. However, regrettably, we must bid our sincere farewell as of April 5, 2024. We apologize that we could not come to you with better news.”
Warhaven came off like a cross of Chivalry and For Honor when we first looked at it in 2022. It pits teams of 16 players against each other in brawls using blades, bows, and magic, with six different characters bringing unique weapons and abilities to the fight. Players also had the ability to transform into god-like Immortals, granting them devastating powers that, with a li…
A new trailer for upcoming gunpowder and magic action RPG Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has debuted at this year’s PC Gaming Show. It shows protagonist Nor and tricky spirit Enki at work dismembering the undead and other servants of the vicious gods with axes, pistols, bombs, and magical spells. The biggest news is that Flintlock launches later this summer and that a demo will be out during the upcoming Steam Next Fest that’s running from June 10-14.
The new trailer shows blasted landscapes we’re familiar with from previous Flintlock trailers reminiscent of Napoleonic battlefields with trenches, wattle walls, and shell impacts. It also shows some environments we haven’t seen too much of yet, like monster-haunted interiors of ancient temples, colorfully vibrant desert river canyons with lush greenery and ancient ruins, and some very lived-in looking towns of whitewashed walls and red tile roofs.
There’s also plenty of Flintlock’s faster-paced combat on show here. No…
Even if you only give tech news a cursory glance each day, you can’t have missed the fact there’s a lot of concern about the growing use of AI and the demand for tighter regulations. Enter Nick Clegg, Meta’s el presidente of global affairs, to assure us it’s nothing to be worried about, claiming that the fuss is just like how people reacted to video games 40 years ago.
As reported by The Guardian, Clegg starts his point by making an accurate, if somewhat blindingly obvious, observation: “New technologies always lead to hype.” Well, of course. No company is going to spend millions of dollars in research and development, and then not market the heck out of it.
But then the former UK deputy prime minister reminisced further. “I remember the 80s. There was this moral panic about video games. There were moral panics about radio, the bicycle, the internet.” I remember the 1980s, too, though I don’t recall there being much in the way of governments and organisations around the …
Overwatch 2’s first free hero will be playable for a limited time—before their proper release in season 10—starting tomorrow and ending on Sunday, March 31.
Venture is Overwatch 2’s first non-binary hero, and its first DPS hero since Sojourn was released alongside it in 2022. A lot has changed since then. Everyone in the game shoots bigger bullets and has more health now, which opens the door for a hero like Venture who primarily seems to do damage in close-range.
Their design borrows a lot from Doomfist, a melee-heavy brawler who used to be a DPS hero in the original Overwatch. Old Doomfist played like a fighting game character, launching himself into the face of enemies and gaining shields to survive in the fray. Venture doesn’t have a rocket-propelled fist, but they will similarly ram into enemies with a big drill and gain shields along the way.
Here’s what their kit looks like:
- A primary fire that shoots short-distance explosive projectil…
If you’re looking to get comfy on a Prime Day gaming chair deal, we can certainly recommend the Corsair TC100 Relaxed, which is now on sale at Newegg for $239. This isn’t the best deal we’ve ever seen for this chair, but it’s our favorite budget gaming chair and we think it’s well worth its non-discounted MSRP anyway, so the discount is just a nice bonus.
- We’re curating the best Prime Day PC gaming deals right here.
Sure, a new gaming mouse or graphics card might make more of an immediate impact on your gaming experience, but spend all your gaming sessions on an awful gaming chair and you’ll quickly long for the comfort of a solid chair like this one.
And make no mistake, comfort is what you get with the TC100 Relaxed. When Katie reviewed it last year she found its fabric to be soft and breathable, and its head rest and cushions to be suitably plushy for its “Relaxed” title. Above all, though, it’s…
Tragedy has befallen Alan Wake. When Alan Wake 2 begins, the horror writer has been missing for 13 years, lost in “the Dark Place,” an alternate dimension of no-good, very bad vibes. Alan Wake was a talented horror novelist, and I think the first game ended with him writing himself out of our reality to keep the Dark Place at bay? Honestly, it’s also been 13 years since I’ve played Alan Wake and I remember precisely three things about that game: Stephen King references, shining my flashlight at shadowy figures, and Alan Wake’s clothes.
The man could layer. Tweed jacket; parka; hoodie under the parka; presumably a shirt below it all. Maybe an undershirt for good measure? The combination expressed a certain combination of erudition, ruggedness, and casual approachability all in one contradictory package. Yet after 13 years in the Dark Place, Alan Wake has somehow reappeared with a wholly different look: a classy—yet almost offensively restrained—sui…
Three weeks after disappearing without word or warning, Quantum Break is back on Steam and PC Game Pass.
Quantum Break was pulled from sale earlier this month as a result of licenses that apparently expired while they were in the process of being renewed. It’s the sort of thing that happens from time to time—in fact, it happened to Quantum Break’s predecessor Alan Wake in 2017, and more recently to the Project Cars games.
Fortunately, while expired licenses can sometimes cause older games to disappear forever (as was the case with Project Cars), Remedy told gamers that all was well, and Quantum Break would be back once things were sorted.
Today’s the day. Remedy hasn’t actually tweeted about Quantum Break’s return yet, but Xbox Games Marketing Vice President Aaron Greenberg did. “Good news everyone, @QuantumBreak has officially returned to Xbox, PC, and Game Pass,” Greenberg tweeted. “Thanks for your patience as team worked to get this addressed.”
The P…
