Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light were firmly rooted in the horror genre, having players explore the dark, claustrophobic tunnels of the abandoned Russian subway system and throwing jump scares, monsters, and more at them the entire time. Metro Exodus tones down the horror somewhat, but even though the game doesn’t embrace horror quite as much as the previous games in the series, it still has plenty of content that will appeal to fans of the genre....

If you’re looking to optimise selfies, brighten up vlogs or zhuzh up your face for video conference meetings, then a ring light is a very worthwhile investment.

Or it might be because, like everywhere, Chinese officials are having a tough time finding a new GPU. Whatever the cause, China has issued an ultimatum to banks and payment platforms operating in the country: don’t take Bitcoins....

In a new post over at the Blizzard forums, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan confirms that the team are working on a new reporting system to help with toxic players. From creating a “hide and seek” game mode to using an amusing glitch in order to make Sombra “skydive”, it goes without saying that Overwatch fans are quite the creative and passionate community.

Found in Old Yharnam, Djura will shoot players on sight with his Gatling Gun – making him one of Bloodborne’s most memorable NPCs on introduction....

Koroks are one of the most controversial aspects in Breath of the Wild.
