Indie creature-collecting roguelike Dicefolk has gotten some positive steam this week following release on February 27. In it you use magical dice to build up your team of mythical creatures—Chimeras—in order to defeat a mysterious evil threat. There’s a demo if you want to try it for yourself.
Just watching the trailer lets you know that Dicefolk has one big thing going for it above many other roguelike deck-or-dice-builders: It’s made up of some quite nice, quite traditional-looking, art and animation.
The game itself is double-layered, with a node map to traverse and explore coupled with battles between your Chimeras and enemies. For all that it’s a dice-based game there is some customization here as you tweak and change the faces on the dice and pick which monsters to recruit in the first place. You choose the order that your creatures take action in combat, too, which lets you have some tactical decisions during the flow of battle.
Dicefolk is a pr…

As you know, no better co-op gaming partner exists than man’s best friend. So it only makes sense that your doggy games on the same gear as you. Well, not the same gear, but chewable plush dog toys inspired by HyperX’s most popular accessories.
I had to do a double-take to ensure this wasn’t a late April Fool’s joke because the timing for strange products announced in April is always a little suspect. However, HyperX did actually partner with a pet toy company, P.L.A.Y., to create a line of plushy pet toys based on the HyperX Cloud Alpha headphones, Quadcast S microphone, Pulsefire mouse pads, and Alloy keyboards.
As you can see from the pricing, the doggy versions of PC gaming peripherals are relatively inexpensive and thankfully don’t cost as much as the human versions of these products.
- Cloud Arfa Gaming Headset – $15.90
- Alloy Keybark Gaming Keyboard – $10.90
- PAWdcast Microphone – $13.90
- HyperX x P.L.A.Y. Toy …
Anyone can grab the new AndaSeat Kaiser 3 Pro gaming chair for $440 right now. But you’re not anyone—you’re a PC Gamer reader, and that means you can secure yourself an extra 10% discount over on the AndaSeat website with the code AndaPCG. That brings the chair down to $396.
This code is actually good for any chair on the AndaSeat website, so don’t feel like you’re stuck with the Kaiser 3 Pro. We’ve rated a couple of AndaSeat’s gaming chairs highly in the past.
We’ve reviewed many of AndaSeat’s gaming chairs, including the Kaiser 3 XL and Kaiser 2. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality on offer with both of these Kaiser branded seats—the former is our pick as the best gaming chair for a larger frame. The Kaiser 3 Pro comes with a new headline feature not found on these previous models, however.
The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 Pro comes with five dimensions of armrest. Yes, five. What does that mean exactly? I had to check, to be sur…
Lotrich, a member of Baldur’s Gate 3’s nascent map modding community who has been uploading videos of their work to YouTube, has just provided a peek at their latest creation: An in-progress, but still very recognizable take on Waukeen’s Promenade, one of the opening areas of Baldur’s Gate 2.
The promenade is a bit bare at the moment, but its distinctive archways and amphitheater-like layout are immediately striking—Waukeen’s Promenade always felt like someone turned a sports arena into an open-air market, fitting for the mercantile city of Athkatla. The circus tent where you can recruit companion Aerie is visible in the distance, and Lotrich includes a special treat toward the end of the video: A peek inside Ribald Barterman’s Adventurer Mart, one of the best shops in the game.
This feels like one of the inevitable outputs of any modding community—once a game’s map making tools are out, a countdown starts until someone recreates an area from …
It has been a while since a traditional roguelike RPG caught my eye, but no longer: Path of Achra is a dark fantasy game of an ancient earth where gods and sorcerers battle with mighty warriors and heroes. You’re an adventurer on the path through Achra seeking the Obelisk beyond, which you do via a series of little mini-roguelike dungeon areas, each small enough to fit on a single screen.
Self-described by the developer as a “broken build sandbox,” Path of Achra has that special sauce that lets you really enjoy mixing and matching all kinds of weird starting classes, origins, and gods—all of which give you powers—with its ten paths of magic and abilities. That’s stuff like elemental magics, but also necromancy, astral powers, psychic abilities, and blood magic.
Achra’s combat is all about triggering effects: Combining stuff like when you move, when you hit, or when you stop near an enemy to cascade into further powers and scythe down enemies at scale. Y…
Like most PlayStation first-party games, God of War Ragnarök requires a PSN account. A fact that we’ve known about since the State of Play earlier this year, alongside a short blog post that mentions this in italics at the bottom of the page. But just because it hasn’t come as a surprise doesn’t mean that players are happy with this outcome.
God of War: Ragnarök is currently at a “mixed” review status on Steam, thanks to some players review bombing the game. “PSN requirement is ridiculous,” one review says. “It’s a shame. I’m a big fan of the God of War series, but I’m not on board with this ransom approach.”
Although some are willing to look the other way, that is, if Sony adheres to a short set of demands: “Sony has managed to really piss off pc gamers with this one. They need to do something to make amends with the pc community. First, they need to backtrack on this PSN thing—then, they can announce Bloodborne for pc. If they do this, we’ll forgive t…
While you might be sick of all the live service games that swarmed us last year, there’s every chance you’ve played at least one one for a substantial amount of time—Fortnite, Destiny 2, Apex Legends—these games are popular for a reason.
The fact remains that if a company can find the golden goose, it’ll be set for years if not decades. This has led, however, to a ton of otherwise promising games signing their own death warrant—Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is this year’s prime example. If they don’t perform well immediately, they’ll shut their doors months later—years, if they’re lucky.
Digital Extremes (Warframe) CEO Steve Sinclair argues in an interview with VGC, however, that companies are too quick to pull the ripcord if their games don’t do gangbusters on release: “They think the release is make or break, and it’s not. They have a financial way to be persistent, and they never do it … It comes out, doe…
