When I reviewed Sid Meier’s Civilization VII back in February 2025, I gave it a 9 out of 10. That score raised a few eyebrows because the conversation surrounding the game was already turning sour. Players criticized the interface, questioned the new Age system, and weren’t convinced that switching civilizations every era belonged in a [...]

I’ve spent more than twenty hours in the ruins and ruinations of Carcosa. It has kicked my ass more times than I can count, but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Still, there’s plenty I wish I knew before I first stepped into this madness. That sense of going in blind has its own magic, [...]

I’ve seen a lot of player homes in Starfield, but this one is on a completely different level. During an early preview of the Free Lanes update, Bethesda revealed a fully customizable asteroid base, a massive player home built inside a hollowed-out asteroid in space. And it is not just bigger.
