Next-generation Virtual Reality will change our lives, drastically. VR is already changing so much about they way we think about technology and its application to our daily lives. This is not just in the context of gaming - VR technology has already been seen creeping into all kinds of other industries, from corporate to medical to social networking, and everything in between (including cow farming). VR is changing the game, so to speak, and it’s damn exciting....

With The Outer Worlds releasing to a heap of critical success, Obsidian Entertainment, the team behind the new Sci-Fi game, has found itself in the spotlight. And while The Outer Worlds is one of, if not the, biggest releases the studio has been behind to date, the company’s history of making RPGs spans much further back, with the company being at least partly responsible for some of the best role-playing games of the past two decades....

Announced during the PC Gaming Show, Ooblets got a colorful new trailer, and a bit more. The game will be available for early access on the Epic Games Store as early as this summer. Wait, isn’t it summer now? It’ll be playable very soon, if that’s the case. Ooblets is an awfully damn cute game, complete with little Pokecreatures and town life — but with dance-off parties. And a walking fish that acts like a cat, knocking breakable items off counters....

Here’s our Outriders guide to help you with the Trickster class’ best builds, skills, perks, and point allocations....

There’s an odd beauty found in the the simplest of games. Take for instance pOnd, a ‘one button zen game’ built around several important ideas that you don’t find often in video games. pOnd will ask you to forget all of your preconceived notions about video games and take a moment to breathe. To call it a simple exercise in breathing is such an understatement though. pOnd is a story about life, death, and what little meaning there is in the moments between....

Just like in real life, Miitopia will allow you to give personalities to your characters that they will act according to that. Each character has the best-suited personality that will help you get the maximum advantage out of your characters.

There’s no bigger wildcard in the video game industry than THQ Nordic. Since its transformation from bankruptcy-to-baller, the company has been buying up intellectual property as if its life depended on it (which in all honestly, it probably does). All of that moving and shaking has given THQ Nordic a few bargaining chips, some of which it’s now cashing in. Today, the publisher announced that it would part ways with notable franchises Red Faction and Painkiller in a trade....

Novacrystal is an important gem resource in Monster Hunter Rise. It is very important in crafting items such as Armor, Weapons, and Armor sets. MHR describes it as, “A shining crystal found in places like the Flooded Forest. Only used in the finest crafts”. These Novacrystals spawn in only one single map in MHR. They are only available in High-Rank quests in the game, unfortunately. This makes it a very rare resource to farm in the game....

I’ve only recently delved into the magical world of virtual reality gaming, so my experience is limited in regards to the medium in general. Sure, I’ve played games that amount to tech demos. There are also those musical rhythm games with the glowy sticks. But I’ve mostly played pure shooters, where you move or warp forward while braining hordes of enemies. The rogue-lite genre has had its share of VR releases, but so far I have kept my distance....
