Old World – это историческая пошаговая стратегия, где игрок возглавляет одну из древних цивилизаций и ведет ее к процветанию на протяжении столетий. Игровой процесс строится на управлении ресурсами, строительстве городов, развитии технологий и дипломатии. Ключевая особенность – система наследования: правитель умирает, и на его место приходит наследник, определяющий дальнейший путь развития империи. Важную роль играют взаимоотношения с семьями знати, придворные интриги и личные качества правителей, влияющие на принятие решений и моральный дух населения. Войны и дипломатия переплетаются с управлением внутренними делами, требуя от игрока стратегического мышления и умения адаптироваться к меняющимся обстоятельствам. Задача игрока – не только выжить, но и оставить после себя богатое наследие, превзойдя предшественников.

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.

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.

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.
I would not assume that it'd be an easy task to encapsulate 30 years of storytelling and several gameplay styles across dozens of releases, but Capcom was up to the task when it comes to Resident Evil Requiem . With Requiem , Capcom is set to close out an entire era of the franchise while highlighting the variety offered over the past few decades. From humble PS1 beginnings to third-person action, then first-person fear, Resident Evil Requiem pays homage to them all in an exceptional display of everything that makes the franchise so great for those who love it dearly. Cower in fear Screenshot by Destructoid The ninth mainline title in the Resident Evil series stars co-protagonists, the first of which is series newcomer Grace Ashcroft.

The best King's Field-likes on PC From software, with love. Developer: Kasur Games | Release date: 2025 | Steam Deck: Verified | Link: Steam - King's Field + Dark Souls 2 - Controls like: A sensible station wagon in a forsaken kingdom There's all of the classic FromSoftware paraphernalia in here—a slightly awkward magic system, highly stylised NPCs with no real faces, aggressive plants, poison lakes—but what makes this game stand out is how interconnected it all is. Developer: Rat Tower | Release date: 2024 (early access) | Steam Deck: Playable | Link: Steam - King's Field + Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - Controls like: American muscle in a demolition derby Monomyth may eschew the faux-retro look used to great effect by many Field-likes, but is no less atmospheric or authentic for its modern extravagances. Hudepohl | Release date: 2025 | Steam Deck: Playable | Link: Steam - King's Field + Silent Hill - Controls like: A sedan whose wheels are spinning in the mud as someone tries to carjack you King's Field games were always scary, but this game takes that fear and then turns it up to 11 by adding a generous helping of Silent Hill to the mix.

RGB scart cable | $9.99 at Amazon OSSC upscaler | $111.99 at Amazon Hyperkin HDMI | $29.99 at Amazon Sega's approach to output really makes a difference when using a Genesis in 2026. For some of you, using the Switch Expansion Pack to play some of the console's standout releases will make more sense, while some of you might have even already picked up something like the Anbernic RG ARC-D for its extremely authentic controls ($79.99 at Amazon, FYI). I could go on at length about how I prefer the sounds and rougher graphics of the Mega Drive / Genesis in Sega versions of games compared to the SNES (looking at you, Disney's Aladdin), or how I'll always pick the 6-button Mega Drive controller over Nintendo's gamepad (Retro-bit's wireless version is a great alternative for $35.99, but the Genesis design has recently changed).

The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of survival game Icarus have been delayed, developer Grip Studios has announced, but don't worry; it's not a massive delay. Back in January, it was announced that Icarus would come to current-gen consoles at the end of this month, but now, Grip Studios has revealed that the game will be delayed until March 26th. The reason for the delay is pretty much exactly what you'd expect; in a press release, Grip says it needs more time to "further refine the game's experience on consoles". In case you need a reminder, while Icarus was developed by Rocketwerkz on PC, console development and publishing will be handled by Grip Studios, whose name you might know from its support work on games like Mafia: The Old Country and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
