Though if you want to jump into Nioh 3 a bit faster at launch, here is how you can skip the intro logos and videos thanks to Lyall’s patch, which adds a few other neat features as well.
Denshattack! was revealed earlier last year, and I do not think I have seen an announcement trailer with this much energy in quite some time. It had everything I wanted from a game reveal: fast-paced gameplay, a unique hook, and a distinct art style to tie it all together.
Ahead of its Steam Next Fest demo release, I had the chance to play Denshattack! and came away hungry for more. Here are my thoughts on its early levels.
PlayStation’s State of Play had several announcements from KONAMI, largely focusing on revivals of their major IPs. Metal Gear Solid was also given its due share with the announcement of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, which finally frees Metal Gear Solid 4 from its PS3-shaped shackles.
If you pre-order Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, you will receive the following cosmetic items:
Absolum was my favourite game of 2025. Punchy combat, superb art, and plenty of well-realised roguelite mechanics made it a rewarding experience to sink hours into, especially in co op. It has now received its first major update. Threads of Fate introduces even more challenges to satisfy my endgame cravings.
When you reach the end of Absolum, there is still plenty to do. Whether it is beating the true final boss with every character or wrapping up side quests that lead to new paths, bosses to vanquish, and characters to meet, the game does not simply stop. With the 1.1 update, two major additions significantly shake up the endgame experience.

REANIMAL is out now on PC, and it’s already one of Tarsier’s most critically acclaimed releases ever.

As usual, though, the widescreen modding community has already addresed and Lyall has released a patch which adds ultrawide support to REANIMAL. Here is how you can install that.

Here is how you can earn and claim Twitch drops for Phasmophobia on PC.
Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective comes with a bunch of new content, including a new artifact, which are gameplay modifiers you can enable before a run. Unlocking each one requires a code that you can find in the stages, and it is no different in the new expansion.
Here is the code for the Artifact of Prestige and what it does!
After you defeat Solus Wing in Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective, it will drop an Encrypted Cerebellum. This is an important item that you need to use if you want to take on the true final boss of the expansion. Here is what you can do with it.

As always, unlocking them is not a straightforward process. Here is how you can unlock each skin introduced in Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective and what they look like.

Anvil is arguably one of the best guns in ARC Raiders, and finding one can lead to an excellent run where you have a good shot at taking out ARCs and other players. It’s also pretty rare and expensive if you don’t have a blueprint.
While there is no fixed location to obtain this blueprint, knowing what to loot and search can make all the difference in your quest to find it. Here is where you can typically find the Anvil blueprint in ARC Raiders.
