Gothic 1 Remake review - the classic RPG returns with countless subtle improvements

Old-timey German RPG Gothic had a few spiritual successors, but most were offshoots from the same studio. Thanks to pre-digital distribution limits of 2001, it was obscure in North America, which of course means it never existed. It didn't even have Mario in. But Gothic was also special. Gothic 1 Remake (whose refreshingly honest, direct name honours us) chose a path made of tightropes: to be neither a perfect recreation or a wholly new entity wearing its skin, but to modernise and improve whi

Geareo is an extremely pleasing clockwork building game with pull-out model kits and flippable paper manuals

Many are the games that feature "clockwork" objects, and all of them are liars. "Clockwork" in most games is a brass-edged cube with some images of moving gears on it. You attach the cube to, for example, a huge scythe blade, and it makes the huge scythe blade spin, but I need you to understand that no kinetic energy transferral is taking place. You've just activated a line of code that reads something like "MOTOR POWER = YES". The whole thing is a mockery of physics! The only thing that scythe

This week in PC games: synthpunk platforming, haunted house hoovering, and a game about growing a black hole

Happy this week all! Please, please come save us from the tormenting sun. The mercury is forecast to hit 38 degrees in south Britain this week, which might not seem very high to you readers from the Bermuda Triangle, but please remember that British people are all descended from selkies and grindylows, that our "breathable fabrics" consist mostly of horsehair, and that we all live inside up-turned witch's cauldrons. My up-turned cauldron resides at the exact epicentre of the incoming solar blig

CD Projekt boss "knows for a fact" a surge of games made purely with generative AI are coming, but doubts "whether this is really the path to follow"

As AI continues to be shoehorned into game development with more regularity, Michał Nowakowski - joint CEO of Witcher 4 developers CD Projekt - has said he "knows for a fact" games built purely with generative AI are on the way. Mercifully, he's got "doubts" about whether this method's the ideal way forward, meaning there's no need to worry at this juncture that Ciri'll soon be battling hordes of ChatGPThouls. Read more
