How recent laws impact game design, from in-game chat to notifications How game developers can stay on the right side of current and upcoming legislation affecting the industry 2026 is already proving to be the year when the reality of video game regulation hits home for the industry. Games studios are suddenly confronting a host of new and impending regulations, and it can feel an impossible task to sift through the alphabetti spaghetti of laws, rules and guidelines (OSA, DMCCA, DFA, DSA, AI Act, CPC…) in order to know what this actually means for the day-to-day practicalities of developing and releasing games. Kabam, Nexters and My.Games recently fell afoul of this in the UK and Netherlands with Marvel Contest of Champions, Hero Wars: Alliance RPG and Rush Royale: Tower Defense TD.

Steam Next Fest is one of my favorite occurrences throughout any given year since I get to play games all day long trying to find cool stuff. In 2025, Steam Next Fest introduced me to titles like Ball x Pit and Absolum , and those quickly became two of my favorite releases later that year when I played and reviewed them. So especially now, when Next Fest rolls around, I try to play as much as I can to see what exciting sleeper titles the year may have in store for PC gaming.

After 8 years, my favorite house renovation sim returns with revamped visuals and all $120 worth of DLC included – and the Steam Next Fest demo already has me sold I can't get enough of House Flipper Remastered Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more You are now subscribed Your newsletter sign-up was successful Want to add more newsletters? House Flipper first hooked me when I had just grown into an adult with its cozy renovation loop, providing me with the relaxing outlet I needed amid all of college's chaos – and now, eight years later, it's drawn me back into its surreal world of home-refurbishing havoc. If you're anything like me, you have hundreds of hours in House Flipper and its more recent sequel, House Flipper 2, because what better way to spend your evenings unwinding than to complete jobs for strangers who leave televisions upside down and undefinable stains on all of their ceilings – right? I've re-experienced two jobs from the original House Flipper – one from the base game and another from DLC, because House Flipper Remastered comes with all $120 or so worth of expansions from the OG title – and I've gotten to enjoy sprucing up a home that wasn't in the 2018 gem.
GamesRadar+ Verdict If you're new to resin 3D printing or are turned off by the mess, the Creality Halot-X1 is built with you in mind. The high resolution or speed of its prints are all good and well, but the slew of beginner-friendly features really help it shine. Pros - + An excellent choice for beginners - + Very easy to use - + Novel twist-to-release build plate - + Smart workarounds to minimize mess - + 16K resolution and high speed Cons - - Resin feed sold separately - - No heated resin vat - - No built-in camera Why you can trust GamesRadar+ It sounds silly, but the thing I hate most about resin 3D printing is the mess – and the Creality Halot-X1 seems to agree that it sucks. Creality Halot-X1 features & design - Novel lifting print system - Twist-to-release build plate - 16K resolution, at high speed Many 3D printers have specific features they'll hinge themselves around, but the Halot-X1 says "why limit yourself?" It gives everything a good go; there's a high print speed of up to 170mm/h, a user-friendly interface to keep things simple if you're new to all this, the option to add resin management for easier extraction/heating, latches on the vat rather than screws, 16K resolution for more detailed prints, and what it calls a "true leveling-free" experience.
"Toss A Coin To Your Witcher" might be Dandelion's greatest ballad, but have you heard about the one where Geralt and a bunch of monsters partied 'til he died? Or how about that time Geralt got cut in half by a portal? Getting Inspired The Witcher, be it in the original novels, video games, or TV adaptation, has a fair few silly moments, but the mood still typically errs on the side of "dark and gritty." The world of The Witcher is unforgiving and cruel, and even when you have moments of levity with Geralt's quips to Dandelion or hijinks with Lambert and Eskel, nothing is quite like Reigns: The Witcher. Review Summary Pros - Addicting, Tinder-style Swiping Gameplay - Funny Situations Witcher Fans Will Enjoy, While Treating Source Material With Respect - Dozens of Objectives, Familiar Characters, and Iconic Monsters Cons - RNG Can Make or Break You - Some Choices/Solutions to Objectives Seem Obtuse

Former Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director says Ubisoft 'became very allergic' to new games, which contributed to a 'talent drain' Alex Hutchinson diagnoses the downward trajectory of his former employer. Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. Skull and Bones became a $200 million folly, one of several failed attempts to capitalise on live-service popularity; staff are revolting due to layoffs, studio closures and a mandatory return-to-office command; and after years of trying to curtail the influence of Tencent, the Chinese publisher now controls more than 26% of newly-formed Assassin's Creed subsidiary Vantage Studios. So I think they lost that momentum as well." Back when Ubisoft was fighting fit, it released Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed 3 and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag in a mere six years.
Resident Evil Requiem PC performance analysis: Great visuals and decent frame rates all round, though path tracing's an obvious frame rate killer Upscaling is a bit of a must-use, but that's a given these days. Test PC specs - Asus ROG Ally, 15 W + 6 GB VRAM modes - Ryzen 7 7735HS (54 W), 16 GB DDR5-4800, GeForce RTX 4050 - Core i7 9700K (65 W), 16 GB DDR4-3200, Radeon RX 5700 XT - Ryzen 7 5700X3D (105 W), 32 GB DDR4-3200, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - Core Ultra 9 285K (125 W), 48 GB DDR5-8400, Radeon RX 7900 XT - Ryzen 9 9950X3D (170 W), 32 GB DDR5-6000, GeForce RTX 5090 - Monitors: Acer Nitro XV282K KV / MSI MPG 321URX - Operating System: Windows 11 25H2 - Drivers: Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1 / GeForce Game Ready 591.86 To examine what kind of performance you can expect to get on your gaming PC with Resident Evil Requiem, I used as broad a range of systems as I could. Handheld gaming PC 720p Lowest preset | No ray tracing (RT) | FSR Balanced upscaling Our first port of call is a handheld gaming PC, specifically the Asus ROG Ally, with its power set to 15 W but with the GPU VRAM forced to 6 GB, instead of the default 4 GB. Minimum spec gaming PC 1080p Normal preset | No RT | FSR Balanced upscaling Okay, so a combination of an Intel Core i7 9700K and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT isn't quite as min-spec as Capcom's minimum system requirements, but the CPU and GPU are almost eight and seven years old, respectively.

KAIZEN's cursed technique system is all about progression and farming across Grade 4, 3, 2, 1 and Special. It's not worth it to grind each Grade and CT so instead let's talk about the best CTs in early, mid and late game. Table of contents Cursed Technique Tier List in KAIZEN S-Tier Cursed Techniques A-Tier Cursed Techniques B-Tier Cursed Techniques C-Tier Cursed Techniques D-Tier Cursed Techniques KAIZEN Cursed Technique FAQ Cursed Technique Tier List in KAIZEN Image by Destructoid The best cursed techniques in KAIZEN are King Curses and Idle Transfiguration for both PVP and PVE with KC having an edge in PVP. Related: KAIZEN Clan Tier List S-Tier Cursed Techniques S-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons King Curses Special Grade • The highest DPS potential of all CTs, especially with the Sukuna Clan • Best for both PVE and PVP now that Limitless is a bit weaker • Fuga/Divine Flame and the Domain have massive AOE damage that hits everything • That said, requires a ton of grinding for the base version and farming Domain Shards for the Domain • Just be careful of using the Sukuna Clan with this in PVP because the Clan ability is punishable due to animation lag Idle Transfiguration Special Grade • Up there with King Curses as the top 2 best CTs in the game • Really strong against humanoid enemies due to the grabs • Has a lot of PVE and PVP flexible moves with both single target and AOE damage • I would go for Idle over King Curses if you don't want to grind as much since IT is easier to farm and strong without Domain too A-Tier Cursed Techniques A-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Limitless Special Grade • Still has good burst damage and a decent domain so it's good for PVE • That said Limitless isn't top-tier anymore in terms of DPS and the domain is a bit weaker than before • Still a great choice but there are cheaper options that are just as good and also stronger options Blood Manipulation Grade 1 • A bit tricky to farm for Grade 1 standards since you have to grind Choso raid • That said it's really strong for a kiting playstyle where you try to outrange your opponent • The R can deal a ton of damage on a full hit and the Clan ability heal plus speed buff are quite good for PVP • Plus it's just really safe to play for PVE too due to great range • Not as strong as Finger Bearer DPS wise or S-Tiers but a valid flexibile option for PVE/PVP Finger Bearer Grade 1 • Really easy to farm option that deals excellent damage • Excellent for maining mid to late game until you get King Curses or Idle • Leans more toward PVE with its damage burst but it's decent for PVP as well Straw Doll Grade 2 • Really underrated due to being Grade 2 but it's actually an incredible farming tool • One of the best things to rush in PVE • The V is your main tool for immobilization and comboing with Melee/Swords • Just an overall excellent supporting moveset that will carry you into the late game • That said the moves are a bit weak DPS-wise so combo it with a good fighting style or weapon Shock Amplification Grade 2 • Shock Amplification is another excellent PVE farming tool due to high damage and being easy-to-get • Cryofrost is better for PVP so SA is strictly for farming and progression • Once you get higher-tier CTs switch to them but SA will carry you there B-Tier Cursed Techniques B-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Cryofrost Grade 1 • A bit weak for PVE due to lower damage than the higher tiers • However, it's extremely good for PVP due to massive combo potential • In fact, Cryofrost probably has some of the best PVP combos in the game • I put it in B-Tier for its specific use since it's not as flexibile Rot Grade 1 • Much weaker than Cryofrost but still an okay PVE option • Don't use it in PVP though C-Tier Cursed Techniques C-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Cursed Speech Grade 3 • With the rework it's actually quite good for PVE farming • The moves deal great damage and there's some PVP potential too mid-game with the Clan ability enhanced hitbox • That said it gets outclassed by Cryofrost and higher tiers later on D-Tier Cursed Techniques D-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Devil's Broom Grade 3 • Decent utility with this one but overall weak • Note that the M1s scale with Weapon stats Construction Grade 4 • An okay CT when you're starting out for progression • Switch it out when you can Cloning Technique Grade 4 • Probably the weakest CT in the entire game Boogie Woogie Grade 3 • Okay to have as a mobility tool on a Weapon or Melee build • Otherwise it's horrible to focus on KAIZEN Cursed Technique FAQ What is the best Cursed Technique and Clan in KAIZEN?
Reigns: The Witcher narrative designer Oscar Harrington-Shaw thinks Geralt of Rivia has a promising future as a private eye. “Another source of inspiration which I quite like leaning on, which the games do and the books do, is hard-boiled crime detective stories,” he tells me, when I ask whether his work on Nerial’s latest narrative card RPG has given him any wild notions for Witcher projects. “Geralt actually sort of lives in that world. So it could be cool to have like a spin-off neo noir crime detective film.
It seems like we’re getting one of these every few months, but the world of mobile action RPGs that look like the games that, just a few years back, were only possible on consoles is expanding with another new entry.
Well, folks, after it was briefly teased at the end of last year, Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition has finally arrived on Switch 2. Yep, just in case you haven't picked this one up in the last decade, you now have another chance to do so (or an opportunity to simply pick it up again, we won't judge). The Anniversary Edition throws in all six official add-ons — Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, and the three Workshop expansions — and over 150 pieces of Creation Club content, so there's a lot to tuck into.

Sundays are for finally biting the bullet and spending some of your Christmas money on a boxset of 2000s British Touring Car Championship season reviews. You stick the first DVD in, a three hour trip back through the 2000 season of car touring around the finest tarmac-filled fields Britain has to offer. You think of the American readers, and make a mental note to explain to them that the action you're watching is a bit like NASCAR, except with no oval tracks, smaller engines, and a lot more exchanges between drivers you can accurately describe as 'politely grumpy tantrum throwing'. James Thompson and Jason Plato have attempted to meld a Honda Accord and a Vauxhall Vectra together to form the world's first Honhall Veccord.
