Every Final Fantasy fan knows, there's nothing scarier than a Tonberry. Sure, the little green guys look sweet enough with their big shoes and bulging eyes. But let them get close and their knife attack means instant death.

Manor Lords releases on Steam in early access tomorrow, but pricing is still yet to be revealed.

Garry's Mod developer Facepunch Studios has been ordered to remove all Nintendo related items from the Steam Workshop.

I read a horrible theory recently that nature wants to turn lots of things into crabs. I think the theory was basically talking about crustaceans, but the gist of it was, regardless of the evolutionary challenges crustaceans faced, crabbiness seemed to be a preferred answer. The raised body and tail, the flat shell, the lofty pincers. Crabs are OP.

I don't know if there's a universal winning formula for a great action game out there, but Stellar Blade sure has tried its hardest to reverse-engineer one. Like Bayonetta? Here, take an English lady zipping about in heels, annihilating monsters to a delectable soundtrack. Dark Souls fan? Rest at this camp to refill your potions, and better brush up on those parrying and dodging skills! You like God of War? How about a dozen different finishers that would make Kratos blush. Melee combat not for you? Have a gun.

Samsung Evo Plus microSD cards are the best value memory cards in terms of price/capacity, but also because they are some of the fastest microSD cards on the market. The Samsung Evo Plus performs fantastically with handheld gaming consoles, including the Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and Asus ROG Ally.

Yesterday, in between bouts of Manor Lords, I popped down the road to do some food shopping, and bought bread, milk, vegetables, and some other things, then walked home. It took me about 30 minutes all in all, and the whole time I never questioned whether there'd actually be food in the shop when I got there. I didn't think about whether they'd had a good enough harvest to keep their stores full during the winter. I just popped in and popped out, squeezing a fundamental part of my daily subsistence into a lunch break. How much we now take for granted.

The boss of embattled video games publisher Embracer has reflected on a turbulent year for his company which has seen it shed thousands of jobs, shutter numerous development studios, and now - as of this week - ultimately split into three smaller parts.

First shown nearly three years ago under the name Project Eve, the Korean developed Stellar Blade has finally arrived and for me delivers an experience that feels like a proper, complete, polished console game. You see, in this age of incomplete games, buggy launches, and countless promises buried in patch notes, Stellar Blade launches in an impressively complete state. This is an impeccable, gorgeous, and fun action game that perfectly balances modern sensibilities with design elements that would feel right at home on the PlayStation 2 - and that's a good thing.

The Asus ROG Ally, one of the most popular handheld gaming consoles, is currently available for under £500 for the first time thanks to a limited-time discount code at Very.

The original PUBG battle royale map Erangel is returning for a limited-time blast of nostalgia.

A recent patch for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered appears to have removed a set of Lara Croft pin-up style posters in the game's Remastered graphical mode, despite them previously having been flagged by the official Tomb Raider website as a detail to go find.

Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler has defended the studio's decision to launch its latest game No Rest for the Wicked in early access.

I both hate and love geolocation games. Take GeoGuessr. I hate to play it myself because I'm clueless at it. But I love to watch it being played by others. It suddenly opens up. It becomes something thrilling.

Lords of the Fallen has reached the final stage of its free content roadmap, as developer Hexworks acknowledges the technical difficulties that hampered the game's launch last year.

Flaming Fowl, the developer behind card battler Fable Fortune and the acclaimed Gloomhaven video game adaptation, has unveiled its new project - but, in an unusual move, has also announced it's shelving development and confirmed layoffs at the studio all at the same time.

Steven Ogg, who played Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto 5, has revealed he "shot some stuff" for a DLC that would have continued the character's adventures, now working as an undercover agent for the FBI, but it "just disappeared and [Rockstar] never followed up on it."

Rounding out the initial quartet of Xbox Studio titles announced for PlayStation 5, miniature survival game Grounded has arrived on Sony's machine - and Nintendo Switch too. Given that we last looked at Grounded in early access on Xbox One and PC way back in 2020, these two new releases give us a perfect opportunity to reappraise all platforms today. And so, here we've got PS5, Switch, Series X, Series S and PC in focus, as we see how all compare in terms of fidelity and performance. Most importantly, does the PS5 edition recreate the Series X experience, or are there graphics changes as we saw in Hi-Fi Rush on its PS5 debut? And for Switch, how does its handheld play actually hold up with 30 frames per second as the target?

This year's EGX - the UK's biggest gaming event run by Eurogamer's current owner Reedpop - will take place as a joint shindig with MCM Comic Con, with both expos co-habiting at ExCeL London from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October.

After almost two years of cooking in early access, the team behind turn-based strategy adventure game Songs of Conquest has announced its full-fat release date.

The pre-release marketing for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes has suggested a particularly abstract experience. Strange trailers tease "unconventional concepts", "patterns, patterns, patterns", and "puzzles, puzzles, puzzles", hinting at an otherworldly concept and "maze of deceptions" all in eerie black and white. This was all intentional game director Simon Flesser told me last year. "We want to make viewers wonder, and think."

If you were a fan of both Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail and want more from their developers, you can now pre-register for miHoYo's next game Zenless Zone Zero.
