Everyone needs more storage for their handheld gaming PC from time to time, whether it's on a Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or Nintendo Switch. With this microSD deal, you can add 1.5TB of storage to your device for just $110, which will open up your handheld to a ton of extra possibilities when it comes to downloading your favorite games. The SanDisk Ultra sits one class below the Extreme, which is our pick as one of the best MicroSD cards for Steam Deck. However, due to the Steam Deck and most other handheld gaming PCs having a transfer limit imposed on MicroSD cards, you won't see any noticea ..read more

Thankfully, in 2024, we’re broadly all enlightened enough to recognize Half-Life 2 as a genre-defining modern FPS. Generally, in the decades since its release, its entirely deserved status as one of the greatest games of all time (not to mention one of the most influential) has arguably obscured some critical judgment of Valve’s creation. Continue reading Half-Life 2’s vehicle levels suck, and it’s time we all admit it MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best old games, Best FPS games, Best VR games ..read more

It’s funny what a sudden delisting can do to you. There are games out there - games you’ve maybe never heard of, or perhaps thought about playing but never found the time for - and once you find out they’re being pulled from Steam, possibly forever, you’re hit with a sense of urgency. Inspired by the likes of Dead Space and Gears of War, one overlooked shooter published by Capcom is about to vanish from Valve’s store. If you’ve never tried it, and you’re worried about missing out forever, you can get it now for cheap, but you don’t have long. Continue reading Forgotten Capcom sci-fi shooter i ..read more

At the heart of any mechanical keyboard are the items that give them their name: the mechanical keyswitches. They get that name because they offer an individually sprung switch for each key, rather than using a cheaper type of switch that uses squishy rubber domes to spring back up. They're easier to press, more responsive, and far more durable than rubber domes switches, but they do come with the downside that there are dozens of options to choose from. Worry not, though, as our mechanical keyboard switch guide will explain all. Once you've learned everything you need to know about mech ..read more

By all accounts the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, otherwise known as the Varian Disaster, was not a great time to be Roman legionary in Germany. Three whole Roman legions were rent asunder in a brutal battle, scattering the survivors to the four winds. That's where new co-op survival simulator Lost Legions steps in, putting you in the role of one of those legionaries as you attempt to keep going in a world that understandably isn't a fan of you being there.

Though the most anticipated medieval simulation game out this week is likely Manor Lords, the recently launched Bellwright has plenty of eyes on it as well. A combination of action, strategy, RPG game, and city builder that calls to mind Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord or Valheim, Bellwright came out in Early Access last Tuesday April 23 and was immediately met with disappointment, largely centered on the idea that the game simply wasn't ready yet, even as a work in progress. Since then, though, Bellwright's reception has started to turn around, with player numbers and reviews climbing steadily ..read more

The Escape From Tarkov Unheard Edition continues to cause problems for the game's developer, with the community descending into chaos over the newly announced PvE mode and associated pricing. As fans take to social media, Reddit, and the Escape From Tarkov Discord to voice their dissatisfaction, the game's developer has accused one up-and-coming rival of being a "blatant plagiarist game.” Continue reading Escape From Tarkov dev accuses rival of “plagiarism” amid fan backlash MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Escape from Tarkov system requirements, Escape From Tarkov Steam, Best battle royale games ..read more

Yesterday, we were happily surprised by the launch of Rotwood, the latest game from Klei Entertainment whose past work includes a litany of hits ranging from Mark of the Ninja and Don't Starve to Invisible Inc., Oxygen Not Included, Griftlands, and Hot Lava. Though it was first announced back in 2022, it came out in Steam Early Access yesterday, letting players get their hands on a section of the game. The good news for anyone waiting for initial impressions is that, in the space of the day that's passed since launch, Klei's latest is finding a strong player base and garnering positive review ..read more

If you had a time machine and went back about ten years to tell people at the height of the World of Warcraft craze that BlizzCon was being cancelled with no definitive timetable hinting at its return, people would probably look at you like you'd been drinking too much Badlands Bourbon. However here in the current day, Blizzard is cancelling BlizzCon 2024, leaving only a tease that it will return at some point in the upcoming years.

Alright, let's get this bit out of the way. Adapt looks a lot like the planetary parts of Spore. I know it, you know it, and I'm sure the developer knows it too. The promise of evolving and guiding a species through the aeons was something that sold itself to tons of us, but that promise has never quite been fulfilled. Now, Adapt has arisen from the primordial soup to take the evolutionary crown, and it's looking quite crown-worthy indeed.
