Sometimes, in the churn of games that come out each year, I forget how powerful games have the capacity to be. They can reach out and into our lives and grab us in ways that are profound. They're a bit like that bad guy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom who can grab at people's chests and then pull their hearts out - in a nice way, I mean.

Ubisoft's sparkling new version of the beloved Beyond Good & Evil includes a touching tribute to Emil Morel, the veteran Ubisoft Montpellier developer who sadly died last year aged just 40.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing over the past few days. This week, we bash our heads against Shadow of the Erdtree, we suffer for our evils in Baldur's Gate 3, and we enjoy the change in Diablo 4.

What if you could double or even triple almost any game's frame-rate, just by installing a small program onto your PC? It has echoes of downloading additional RAM, but this is exactly what the app Lossless Scaling can now provide using frame generation technology. We're already familiar with the effects of frame gen with Nvidia's DLSS 3 and AMD's FSR 3, so how exactly does Lossless Scaling work by comparison, how do the generated frames look and feel, and what are the best use cases for this new-found functionality?

Hello! Eurogamer is once again marking Pride with another week of features celebrating the intersection of LGBTQIA+ culture and gaming. Today, Dr Lloyd (Meadhbh) Houston reflects on what learning more about their neurotype has taught them about gaming and queerness.

Who is the face of Dragon Age? It's a simple question with a tricky answer because there's no obvious candidate. There's no Commander Shepard through-line running through the series. Each game has had a different protagonist. There's the Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Origins, Hawke in Dragon Age 2, and the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition. And now there's Rook in Dragon Age: Veilguard. Heck, even the game's main companions have changed. Though there is one amongst them who could fit the bill: Varric.

Zenless Zone Zero can't decide if it wants to wow you with chaotic action, or let you kick back and explore its comic-book-styled urban streets. One mission could be packed with frantic dodges and chain attacks as you mow down monsters in dangerous 'Hollow' areas, whereas the next might be just grabbing coffee with a bud, or teaching a cute bunny-robot-thing Bangboo to play football. So instead of committing to one atmosphere, Zenless Zone Zero has doubled down on both. Spending time in its slick streets is a blast, no matter if it's throwing combat challenges or coffee dates your way.

Back in March, Diablo 4 became the first Activision Blizzard title to join Xbox Game Pass following Microsoft's $69bn acquisition of the publisher, and it looks like the floodgates are finally starting to open; Crash Bandicoot N.

Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree introduced Thrusting Shields as a new weapon type, but some players believe they're overpowered to the point of being "absolutely busted".

Three years ago, everything was about to change for tiny Australian studio Witch Beam. It was gearing up to launch its second game - a game about unpacking boxes and finding a space for your things. Unpacking, it was called. And the hope was it would build on the success of the studio's first game, Assault Android Cactus, an energetic twin-stick shooter which did relatively well. But there was trepidation, because how many people would want a chilled-out game about placing objects? How many people would understand what it was trying to do?

Somehow I'd missed hit horror movie franchise A Quiet Place was getting a video game adaptation (it turns out I'm just deeply inattentive), but barely a month after its re-reveal, a fresh look at its alien-evading action has come our way - and it definitely shows potential, assuming you've got the constitution for a game of near-silent sneakery and one-wrong-move tension.

UPDATE: We're updating this article to correct an error. The low/high settings toggle does more than disabling motion blur and RT. In side-by-side shots on Series X, the game is clearly less detailed and lowerin resolution with the low settings preset enabled, as opposed to the game running with the high settings preset with RT and motion blur disabled. Other visual settings seem to be identical. The game running with the low preset also runs faster than the game set to high with RT and motion blur disabled, at least in GPU-limited areas. The PS5 is similar to Series X with the low preset in image quality.

Microsoft has announced the next selection of titles headed to Xbox Game Pass over the coming weeks. Included in the lineup are sci-fi adventure Journey to the Savage Planet, Neon White, and Tchia.
