Volume – это стелс-экшен, где игрок берет на себя роль Локсли, использующего симуляцию ограблений для обучения людей искусству воровства. Игроку предстоит проходить уровни, избегая взгляда охранников и используя различные гаджеты для отвлечения внимания. Ключевая механика геймплея – бесшумное перемещение и стратегическое использование окружения. В арсенале Локсли есть устройства, позволяющие создавать звуковые помехи, временно оглушать врагов или быстро перемещаться по уровню. Цель каждого уровня – собрать все необходимые предметы, оставаясь незамеченным. Игра предлагает сотню разнообразных уровней, требующих от игрока тактического мышления и умения адаптироваться к меняющимся условиям.
Crimson Desert’s biggest strength is in the sheer volume of stuff it throws at you, allowing you to spend hundreds or even a thousand-plus hours doing everything from hunting animals with a bow to developing a gambling addiction at the tavern. So it’s not very surprising that Crimson Desert’s first paid DLC, called Charting the Unknown, prioritizes adding more on top of its already staggeringly large repertoire. So far, the interesting new activities that mostly focus on oceanic adventures are exactly as compelling as you’d hope, with ship-to-ship combat, underwater exploration, and romance options being among the list of new worthwhile features. When Crimson Desert came out, I said that its content was a mile long and an inch deep, and for better or worse this DLC seems to say, “Here’s another half-mile.” The most disappointing part of the DLC so far has been the additional story missions, which are only accessible once you’ve completed the base game’s already dense main story (a feat which only 10% of Steam players have done, judging by the achievements system).
Our Verdict The G5 Max is a lightweight, comfortable gaming headset with truly stellar battery life, and for that it should be commended. While it can be tweaked, it's still a fiddly, slightly cheap-feeling beast that doesn't justify its $150 price tag. For - 305-hour battery life - Light and comfortable - Detailed drivers - Bluetooth 6.0 support Against - Boxy sound profile - Disappointing microphones - Dreadful EQ presets - Too pricey PC Gamer's got your back In the world of wireless gaming headsets, there's one spec that draws me in like a moth to a flame: battery life. Edifier G5 Max value A $150 MSRP aims this headset squarely at one of the biggest hitters in the space, the Razer BlackShark V3.

Valve feels like one of the only companies left actually trying to harness this technology for the benefit of gamers, but due to the RAM and storage crisis, it's had to price it above $1,000/£800. The Quest 3 now sits at $599, but the Steam Frame's most affordable configuration costs $1,049 / £889. If you opt for the 1TB model, you're talking $1,089 / £1,299, and although you get Half-Life: Alyx included in all of those costs, it's a dramatically more substantial price tag than the mainstream option that's been on the shelves for three years.
Bethesda reportedly revealing The Elder Scrolls 6 next month, and we may know what its subtitle is going to be Wealth beyond measure, outlander. Bethesda's hugely anticipated and long-awaited fantasy role-playing game The Elder Scrolls 6 could be revealed "as soon as next month", a new report has claimed - right in the midst of Microsoft's ongoing restructuring efforts. Per The Verge, this new Elder Scrolls adventure carries the subtitle "Sentinel", which aligns with fan speculation, and the outlet corroborated prior reports that the game takes place within the Tamriel region of Hammerfell. If the game is revealed next month - presumably The Game Awards in early December is a good place for it - it would mark eight years after The Elder Scrolls 6's initial reveal trailer, and 15 years since the release of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
With a cracking new tactical feature and dedicated UI "strike team", Football Manager 27 is a huge step back towards FM's best form Arteta tête. Welcome back, Football Manager. Football Manager 27 is a big, much-appreciated step in the right direction. He put Bruno Fernandes back in the number 10 role, reverted to a familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, gave a relatively large amount of creative freedom to more creative players, and set them up in more of a fluid counterattacking mid-block as opposed to Amorim's structured, finely-tuned high press.
Xbox leader Asha Sharma says there's "more demand than consoles available" as Xbox hardware sales dip by 14% "We're making progress, with a lot more work ahead." Xbox leader Asha Sharma has claimed there's "more demand than consoles available" when it comes to Xbox, and that console sales "remain constrained by supply". She was speaking after Microsoft announced its quarterly financial results yesterday, in which Xbox revenue declined two percent year on year. The financials also revealed a drop in Xbox hardware sales, which are down 14 percent year-on-year, driven by a "lower volume of consoles sold".

The October Edition of Steam Next Fest was, unsurprisingly, a complete mess .

The good news is that the other system requirements are pretty tame – 16GB of RAM, an Intel i5-10600k or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, and an Nvidia 3060 or equivalent are recommended for 1440p – and Phantom Blade Zero is worth a significant portion of your drive. Our Phantom Blade Zero review calls this kung fu epic "a GOTY contender with combat that looks as good as it feels." We're in good company: Phantom Blade Zero's Metacritic score puts it ahead of Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Koei Tecmo's Nioh 3, which are both fabulous new action games in their own right.

As early as November 2025, Sweeney was campaigning against AI disclosures for games and calling Valve's approach nonsensical in a world where "AI will be involved in nearly all future production." This past June, he doubled down, comparing Steam's AI disclosures to a "Scarlet Letter" and insisting that they make it "much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success." Sweeney's latest message was posted as a reply to a comment from Matt Workman, whose Twitter bio says he works in "Content & Vibes" at "generative media cloud" Fal.
Retro video games are everywhere lately — especially in places where they aren’t supposed to be. Halo in a web browser, Wind Waker on the iPhone, Super Smash Bros. Over the past month or so, these kinds of unexpected projects have gone viral with incredible frequency thanks to new AI tools, as hobbyists take apart games and then rebuild them for new platforms. But while AI has supercharged the pace of these ports, it’s also tearing apart tight-knit communities dedicated to preserving games.
Future Capcom games will have Onimusha to thank for RE Engine's gnarly dismemberments Surely this will come in handy for the next Resident Evil. Onimusha: Way of the Sword has received universal praise for its combat animations, which somehow manage to look natural and fluid no matter what angle or direction hero Miyamoto Musashi has to swing his sword to parry an incoming blow. In a post-launch interview, I asked Capcom how—beyond doing a ton of work across Onimusha's lengthy development—they managed to raise the bar for this sort of action game. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014.

After talking to Capcom, I'm a lot more optimistic about Onimusha 3 getting a remaster We need time-traveling Jean Reno on PC. Capcom now makes the majority of its money on PC and "expects this ratio to continue increasing," it said in a report earlier this year—a shift that's been in the works ever since 2018's release of Monster Hunter: World sold approximately three trillion copies. These days Capcom releases a healthy mix of new big budget games and remasters from its back catalog that have never been on PC, like Dead Rising and both Onimusha and Onimusha 2. At the end of an interview focused on the series' first new entry in decades, Way of the Sword, I asked Capcom if its sales success has led to new discussions internally about rereleasing 2004's Onimusha 3 or 2006's Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.
Xbox biz guy deletes his X account less than 24 hours after saying game devs who don't embrace AI 'should not be in the business of being a business' Business strategy manager Brandon Stirrup said he was "happy to take the hit" for his stance on AI, then left social media. Xbox senior business strategy manager Brandon Stirrup is tired of pussyfooting around about AI: In a thread on X his week, he said that he wants the world to know that Xbox uses it, that he thinks everyone should be using it, and that he believes so strongly in the cause that he's willing to "take the hit" for saying so. He has since deleted his X account. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.

UK passengers who refuse to turn down loud music or videos on public transport could soon face fines of up to £100 under new plans to crack down on antisocial behaviour. Anyone who has spent time on public transport will be familiar with the frustration of someone playing music through their phone speakers or watching TikToks at full volume. You could be fined for playing music out loud on a bus in UK Under this new guidance, authorities will be able to issue penalties of £100 ($133) to those who ignore instructions to stop disruptive behaviour. Burnham added: “It’s a simple thing, but one that will make journeys that little bit better for all of us.” Related This comes just after Singapore introduced a similar law, which sees passengers being fined around $400 for the same offense.
