Path of Exile 2 Duelist class preview: I’ve got blood to bleed

Today at ExileCon 2026, I had the amazing chance to demo Path of Exile 2 ‘s new Duelist class, set to come out alongside the game’s 1.0 patch. I got a sneak peek into the game’s fifth Act, too, which I can say is more grim and dark than most things you’ve seen in PoE 2 so far (and that’s saying a lot ). The version of the Duelist I played is of the Knight as…

Dungeon Crawler Carl Meets Vampire Survivors In 9/10 100-Hour Free RPG

The sheer number of games like Vampire Survivors releasing today is utterly staggering. Its overwhelming visuals, endless barrage of upgrades, and deceptively complex gameplay are understandably enticing, further bolstered by the low price point and spec requirements. It is no wonder that Vampire Survivors and its abundance of pretenders have garnered such c…

Jurassic Park Meets Fallout In New Steam Game You Can Try For Free

There is, frustratingly, a severe lack of games like Fallout . The series has been burdened with a reluctant ownership of the retrofuturism aesthetic and the first-person shooter RPG subgenre, something it, unfortunately, has utilized to poor effect on account of their having been only two Fallout titles released in the past decade. Beyond the likes of Atomf…

Path of Exile 2's game director thinks a death recap will finally allow us players to complain about the right things

I've been playing Path of Exile for almost ten years and have put a ton of hours into PoE2 since it entered early access, and in all that time there's one feature that I've wished for more than any other. More than stash tabs, more than fancy microtransactions, even more than finally finding a mirror in the wild... Read more.

Fallout 4: Tasha's Place Turns The RPG Into A Farming Sim

One likely doesn't think of Fallout 4 as being a farming sim, likely on account of its penchant for RPG mechanics, blasting the heads off of roaches, and its fondness for barren wastelands that are typically non-conducive to raising crops. And yet, we undoubtedly live in an age in which Fallout 4 can really be any game it wants to be on account of its ridicu…

Chess is immediately more fun if you jettison most of the rules and replace them with weapons-grade Game Boy Advance

I have never been particularly good at The Game of Kings, but I do love when an indie developer turns their talents to turning chess into something more funky . Shotgun King stole my heart a few years ago, and now Rulehouse is looking to offer its own spin on the classic... Read more.

"Not since the infamous debut of Daikatana has the release of a single game generated so much incensed indignation from early buyers." Our review of Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor didn't hold back. The 2001 dungeon crawler contained, our review said, "A multitude of outrageous bugs," including ones that corrupted saves, made quest items disappear, a…

Cat-Astrophy: How a Build Can Change Every Expedition

When I enter a new expedition in Cat-Astrophy, I don’t start with a fixed build that I have to repeat. I start with a question: what kind of Polo am I going to build this time?
