Steam’s Latest Hit Lets You Explore Space, Land On Planets

Steam-style survival with traces of No Man’s Sky? Interesting! Also, familiar. Empyrion: Galactic Survival is Steam’s latest out-of-nowhere top seller, and while usual complaints—“Ugh, more survival?

Where Big Medieval Battles Meet RPGs

Mount & Blade, a game that can be both RPG and multiplayer combat simulator, is fun as hell (as are its expansions). Thing is, it’s also a bit…janky. And that’s being polite. The game’s full-blown sequel is looking much slicker. OK, so it’s not Star Wars Battlefront or The Witcher 3, but considering the scale…

Reason being, once upon a time in an interview with Fight Hub TV Rousey mentioned that she had…

The 24 Best Classic PC Games

There’s never been a better time to play games on PC. Not only does the PC get the lion’s share of the best new games, PC gamers can choose from a back catalogue that makes even the most stocked console library look paltry. For a couple of years now, we’ve been maintaining a list of…
