Beneath every user review on Steam is a prompt that asks “Was this review helpful?” and lets you respond with a Yes, No, Funny, or Award option. While it makes sense that user reviews can be flagged as inappropriate and those who write them have their ability to post more restricted, it turns out that even clicking on that thumbs-up “Yes” can get you in trouble, as 2,439 people who labeled a ne…

Palworld’s had a bit of a cheater problem recently, and  if you’re wondering why that matters in a PvE title, it’s because of the public servers. Item duping, one-shotting, and (according to a recent announcement) problems accessing the servers themselves have all become headaches for the game’s players and developers alike.

“Currently, some users are unable to connect to official se…

Here’s a lesson I learned very early on in my PC adventures—when it comes to the Windows registry, tread very carefully. While individual entries can be modified to do a number of useful things, change the wrong value and you can soon find yourself in a heap of trouble.

While that’s still the case, it turns out Windows 10 seems to be a lot more resilient to mass registry edits than …

Our favorite 1440p gaming monitor is on sale for $199.99 from Dell, and it’s a genuine discount: The same 27-inch display is currently over $300 at Walmart, and sold out at Amazon and other retailers I checked.

The Dell S2722DGM is the top 1440p 16:9 display we recommend in our guide to the best gaming monitors. Its response time isn’t quite as low as that of a typical IPS display—2…

The Brew Barons is a game built on an idea that is simultaneously very odd and so perfectly aimed at my specific interests that as soon as I saw the first trailer, I had to know more. It’s a mashup of old-timey Crimson Skies-style aeroplanes and beer, and as weird as that sounds, it actually comes together pretty well.

The game is set amidst a small group of lovely, faux-Mediterranean isl…

All three Steam Deck models have joined Steam’s 20th Anniversary sale, marking the third time Valve’s handheld PCs have gone on sale—the first was back in March, and the second during the Steam Summer Sale a few months ago.

It’s the same discount as last time: 20% off the 512GB version, which brings it to $519.20 ($129.80 off). That’s the same price as one of Valve’s certified refur…

It’s officially Friday the 13th, a truly cursed day for anyone who believes in that sort of thing. What better way to slightly unsettle myself than by taking my lunch break to dive into what can only be described as a playable Animal Crossing creepypasta?

Harvest Festival 64 is the result of the 72–hour Ludum Dare game jam, made by German hobbyist developer Warrrkus with music by fe…

Mods are one of my favourite things about PC gaming, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no different. Give players even the slightest bit of access to your code, and they’ll create whole new games, stunning graphical overhauls, and community patches to squash bugs. Then there’s also the horrors.

The latest lovecraftian nightmare to pull into the station is this mod, named Thomas the …

The Turkish government has effectively banned Roblox in the country, blocking access to all users citing concerns over “child exploitation.” The move comes five days after the same body, the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK), blocked Instagram in the country, for which no reason has been given (although it is speculated that this relates to how the platfo…
