Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Rise is coming to PC, with a port due to come out early in 2022. Monster Hunter Rise marks the debut of Capcom's hugely successful series on its own RE Engine, with the Switch version due out towards the end of March. It introduces new traversal options and, of course, new monsters to hunt down, and looks set to be one of the gaming highlights of 2021. Monster Hunter World saw some 16.8 million units shifted, with the profile of the series finally being raised in the west. Capcom will surely be looking to replicate some of that success with Monster Hunter Rise as it extends beyond the Switch. "We received a lot of requests for a PC version of Monster Hunter Rise," series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto told IGN . "This is still under development, so I'd like to share more detailed information when the time is right." There are no further details on what the PC port of Monster Hunter Rise will bring to the table, though that's understandable … [Read more...] about Monster Hunter Rise confirmed for PC

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons crossover with Super Mario is now live in the former game with the launch of the new 1.8 update.

Days Gone PC comes with all previous DLC, unlocked framerates, and improved graphics
Days Gone is coming to PC this Spring and the game's Steam Page has listed more information about the new features coming with it. First and foremost, the Steam page confirms that Days Gone PC will launch with ultra-wide monitor support, unlocked framerates and improved graphics, the latter of which bring "increased level of details, the field of view [and] foliage draw distances". The PC version of the game will also come with all the previously-released DLC, as well as having a New Game Plus option and the challenging Survivor mode to tackle. It looks like Challenge Mode will be present as well. While the Steam page simply lists "Bike Skins" as a feature, we don't know if they will be new or different ones from the PS4 version. The PS4 version of the game didn't launch with all these DLC features but they were added to the game for free post-launch. Other than this information, the Steam page doesn't have much else to tell us about any other new features which might come … [Read more...] about Days Gone PC comes with all previous DLC, unlocked framerates, and improved graphics
Rodea The Sky Soldier review
Glimpses of Yuji Naka's outmoded genius can be seen in Rodea's barren skies, but a paucity and dissonance of ideas make this a failure. Ever play the game in which you must try to move from one side of a room to the other without touching the floor? The learning curve is low, but the risks are perilously high. Cracked lamps, bloody noses and scattered potpourri await the over-ambitious player, he who leaps from the arm of a sofa, over the baffled cat, only to put a clumsy foot through the coffee table. There's little grace involved, on those slow, wet childhood afternoons. Nevertheless, everyone involved believes, beforehand, that they'll move with enviable feline refinement, from mantelpiece, to lampshade to victory. Rodea: The Sky Soldier's development team clearly had a similar hopeful vision for this project, in which you play as a quick-footed robot boy, able to hover and glide through the air. As you tumble off walls and enemies, so you recharge the titular boy's … [Read more...] about Rodea The Sky Soldier review
Knack review
Sony has been saying for a while that it wants PlayStation 4 to take us back in time to a more innocent kind of gaming, but I didn't realise they meant it so literally until I played Knack, an old-fashioned platform brawler where you run around double-jumping and mashing buttons to punch goblins and robots until they flicker out of view. Almost completely linear and framed by a third-person camera over which you have no control, Knack is a series of fights that box you into small arenas until you kill all your enemies, at which point a forcefield is removed so you can continue. These fights are broken up by basic platform sections where you dodge through traps. There are ice and lava levels, along with forests where you punch owls and spiders, and in the end I was surprised the developers didn't just go the whole hog and throw in a mine cart ride. All of this is set up by a simple story about goblins attacking humans. Built out of prehistoric relics by an inventor everyone just … [Read more...] about Knack review
