Although sales of the PlayStation 5 have decreased from this time last year, the device has still sold 61.7 million units since its 2020 release. According to Sony’s most recent financial reports, the company sold 2.4 million units in the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, which corresponds to April to June 2024, as opposed to 3.3 million units in the first quarter of the 2024 fiscal year. Though Sony reduced its entire PS5 sales target for this fiscal year to 18 million units from its previous objective of 21 million units, the dip was partly anticipated. Even though…

A sequel from an outer space scenario to a naval one seems like a strange change, but SteamWorld games have never been afraid to be strange. It is their entire endeavor. Though they take some time to reveal, SteamWorld Heist 2’s ridiculous swashbuckling plot and the original’s (2015) original feel very different from one another. Instead, you take control of a submarine and a crew full of silly robots in a vibrantly cartoony ocean. The quest is set on an unexpectedly enormous overworld area, filled to the brim with challenging and strategically intricate turn-based missions as well as lighter side…

While some studios will chase realistic visuals and heartfelt themes worthy of Hollywood, the Earth Defense Force series is content to remain the most pure video game rubbish ever created, even after investing hundreds of millions of dollars and years of development time. Earth Defense Force 6’s PS3-era graphics, terrible voice acting, ridiculous plot, and erratic technical performance should not be taken seriously. Developer Sandlot is skilled at creating an outrageous satire that makes Helldivers 2 seem sophisticated in contrast. Like its predecessors, EDF6 prioritizes mindless pleasure over all else and leans into its rough edges and hilarious cooperative mayhem.…

After searching the map for Deviations to aid them in surviving a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Human players discover that one uncommon collectible—Hug-in-a-Bowl—is malfunctioning. Hug-in-a-Bowl is hard to find. Many have been misled into thinking it has a low drop rate, even though some people had luck locating it during beta periods. Even diligent people have had difficulty finding it at its spawning sites in Broken Delta and Iron River. For online games like Once Human, rare things are nothing new, but this specific Deviation has gotten enough negative feedback from players to become a topic of discussion in the Steam and…

Along with an artistic makeover for its ensemble cast and weaponry, the DLC will allow players to customize their characters via the Steam Workshop. Paint Junior, a new playable character in Paint Boss Paradise, is described by the developers as having the ability to “vanquish foes with the mere strength of their imagination.” Painter Boss…
