First released on PC in 2015, Team Junkfish’s survival horror game Monstrum is coming to PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One on May 22. The critically acclaimed game will be released digitally, while the physical release has been postponed to a later date due to issues related to COVID-19. In the game, you awaken on a cargo ship with no memory of how you happened to arrive on the derelict vessel....

Nightdive showed off another look at System Shock yesterday (June 13), showing off plenty of atmospheric lighting and first-person shooting. All paired with a suitably unnerving voice over from SHODAN, the infamous AI that goes just a little bit rogue in the original game, and once again in the remake. Unfortunately, the trailer was not paired with a release date, as many might have hoped to have seen. Though according to director of business development Larry Kuperman, development on it is “largely complete” (thanks, PC Gamer)....

And that’s before we even get started on the best games on the Nintendo Wii, many of which were great, and simply don’t work as well anywhere else. There was Super Mario galore, some of the best Zelda titles, and the console was even the best way to experience Resident Evil 4. So, without further ado, here’s what we deem to be the best Nintendo Wii games out there, in no particular order....

Like many games on iOS and Android however, you are not free to progress through The Arcana’s story at your leisure. To see everything there is to see in The Arcana, you need to balance three currencies: Keys, Coins, and Trinkets. Keys are used to read and reread chapters, so are incredibly important to your progress. For walkthroughs of the three main characters’ stories, we have a page linked here....

Crafting the best character build from the dizzying array of stats, points, skills and attributes can be a confusing task. How skill points affect your character is one of the least well communicated parts of The Ascent, so we’ve broken down each part of the system so you can make the most of the levels you gain. First we’ll discuss what each skill does and what kind of playstyle it benefits....

After two installments that were quite focused on the monster hunting and human drama, The Witcher 3’s massive scope allowed for a wider range of, among other things, zany side quests and obscure homages. While the first game was designed to be a detective story, the threequel largely plays – and reads – like the most competent but tired professional in the world has been thrown into the biggest goose chase ever....

However, like almost every other Anemo character, you can also use Faruzan to trigger Swirl and spread your party’s elements across the battlefield. While Faruzan is a clear fit for Wanderer support, she slots in with nearly any team, including those with other 4-star characters. Faruzan teams overview Faruzan Anemo teams Faruzan Swirl teams Genshin Impact Faruzan teams overview Faruzan is an Anemo enabler, and while she’s ostensibly meant to support Wanderer by reducing enemy Anemo resistance, you can use her with pretty much any team as an elemental sub-DPS or just to trigger Swirl....

On PC, optimizing the settings so they synch with your build can add up to 10 extra frames per second or more, which is literally a lifesaver in some situations. Controller settings are a bit more sensitive and subject to personal taste, though we’ve got one solid setup that performs well in almost all situations. Best Halo Infinite settings for PC It’s worth tinkering with the PC settings to make sure you get the best framerate possible in Halo Infinite....

What is the best Venti team comp in Genshin Impact? Main DPS: Ganyu Sub DPS: Venti Sub DPS: Mona Support: Diona This is a classic team and for good reason. Mona’s Elemental Burst buffs the party’s damage and applies Hydro. Venti spreads the Hydro effect, while Ganyu’s Burst freezes every enemy in range, since it creates falling icicles above each foe. Venti’s Skill and Burst both create a vortex that continues applying the first element it connects with, so you’re able to continue triggering Freeze while Venti’s abilities are active....

You can expect a blend of horror, action, and immersive storytelling. “The Callisto Protocol is the culmination of decades of experience building AAA games,” said Glen Schofield, founder, and CEO of Striking Distance Studios....

EA’s initial unveiling of the Dead Space remake two weeks ago was especially brief, only really serving to officially confirming the game’s existence. In the days since, Motive Studios, the developer behind this Dead Space, has been revealing bits and pieces about the team’s mindset, goals, and the line-up of veteran developers leading the project. Being a Canadian outfit, it’s not surprising that Motive has hired some former Ubisoft talent, but two names in particular stand out....

Dreams creator ReivaJKH has recreated The Simpsons: Hit and Run in Media Molecule’s Dreams. It’s a rather short sequence, going by the video of it posted to YouTube by OpyGam3r, but it’s a rather good recreation of the game’s characters and backyard. The player can switch between each of the Simpson’ characters, and each has its own abilities. Watching the video really makes us want an HD re-release or remake of the game....

After the success of the first Game Festival, which ran on Steam alongside The Game Awards 2019, Geoff Keighley and co are bringing it back. The spring edition of The Game Festival will also be available on Steam, this time highlighting over 40 games, whose demos were meant for the the now delayed GDC event, as well as other various developer gatherings that all got cancelled as a result of the coronavirus outbreak....

A patch was released today for The Witcher 3 that allows cross-save functionality between Switch and PC versions of the game. But CD Projekt Red said it doesn’t have similar plans for the PS4 or Xbox One versions of the game. According to CDP, the option was designed for the Switch version “specifically, together with Saber Interactive—the team which was closely cooperating with us on the Switch port,” a CDP spokesperson told USgamer....

Previously leaked on the Microsoft Store, Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy is now actually available for purchase on both the Xbox Store and the PlayStation Store. Considering the collection contains Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and is available for the very low price of $19.99/£17.99, we’d say it’s worth picking up if you want even one of the titles in your collection....

Activision Blizzard confirmed the merge to GI.biz stating that the Vicarious Visions team of around 200 employees will now work for Blizzard and will be “fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives.” This means the studio will no longer be a lead developer when it comes to game creation. “After collaborating with Vicarious Visions for some time and developing a great relationship, Blizzard realized there was an opportunity for [Vicarious Visions] to provide long-term support,” a representative told GI....

In the video below we pick the seven biggest games of August 2021. Of course, more games are coming....
