After all this time, it's finally here. 🧛
There's flickers of an amazing vampire RPG in Bloodlines 2. If you're a VTM fan you'll still enjoy your time in Seattle, but the issues with the game's combat and performance are hard to overlook.

My review: www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
Bloodlines 2 is a sequel in name alone, and it isn't a good enough RPG to combat that disappointment
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 plunges you into a new, complex VTM story, but it struggles both as a sequel and as a strong action RPG.

Fun fact: my first big investigative piece at PCGamesN was about Amorant, and now it’s getting a demo!
I chatted to the wonderful @imabeebop.bsky.social about how it all happened, and I really can’t wait to see what the team does next! #VALORANT

Valorant's dating sim is real, playable now, and its dev urges you to "be a little cringe and follow your heart"
Riot's Valorant dating sim was just supposed to be an April Fools' joke, but dedicated fans have brought it back to life as Amorant.

I had an interesting chat with Jessica Nam about Supervive. She’s really transparent about the current state of the game and what the team is doing to remedy things.
This is a big one, but it’s a meaningful one. Please check it (and Supervive) out! ✨

Supervive wanted to reinvent the MOBA, but that wasn't enough to keep its players: "at some point, the maths stops mathing"
Supervive could have been a League of Legends killer, but its low player count feels like a death sentence - or does it? I ask EP Jess Nam.

My heart sank a little when I found out Valor Mortis was a soulslike. It’s a genre that I like, but one that’s become so oversaturated in recent years. It had the style for sure, but can it really do anything new?
Yes, yes it can.

I haven't cared about soulslikes since Elden Ring, but the Ghostrunner dev’s new game changed that
Slick with gore and stylish in its combat, Valor Mortis, the new soulslike from the Ghostrunner team, is the game the genre sorely needs.
