Supporters | Game of the Week: I forget how powerful games have the capacity to be
Proud.
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.

Digital Foundry | Frame generation for every game? Lossless Scaling vs FSR 3 and DLSS 3
Despite some limitations, this is a genuinely great new option.
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?

Feature | If Dragon Age: Veilguard does kill Varric, it will be long overdue
His final destination.
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.

Review | Zenless Zone Zero review - ultracool action at a smaller scale brings miHoYo's characters into focus
Bang-booyah.
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.

Feature | The Unpacking team on why there won't be a sequel, life-changing success, and new game Tempopo
"It's so incredibly privileged to be in this place."
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?
