A major challenge in balancing Overwatch 2 and the original game is how differently it plays on PC versus consoles. This has led to situations where a hero might be powerful on consoles but easily countered on PC – for example, Torbjorn used to be a big threat on consoles but weak on PC, and Pharah remains stronger on PlayStation and Xbox because players who can reliably counter her are harder to find. Recently, Ashe has become a clear example of this imbalance. While she’s considered a fairly average hero on PC, she’s been very effective on consoles. With her latest update, she’s likely to become overpowered on those platforms.

While you can use a controller to play Anno 117, most PC players will find the keyboard and mouse much better. That’s because important quick commands and shortcuts aren’t available when using a controller – the game uses a slower, radial menu system instead.

There’s a lot of talk about video game prices these days, especially with rumors that Grand Theft Auto 6 might cost $100. But games weren’t cheap back in the 90s either – even for consoles like the Sega Genesis. Because of that, people really wanted to get their money’s worth and play those games for as long as possible.

The PC game BREW, launched on Steam and the Epic Games Store on November 6th, has received overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The beta test for WoW: Midnight is now live!

This year has seen several major game releases, including titles like Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and Battlefield 6. However, a new developer, Sandfall Interactive, surprised everyone with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The game’s compelling story and well-designed turn-based combat have made it a highlight of the year, and players who enjoyed Clair Obscur might also be interested in The Time I Have Left.

New horror games are constantly being developed, particularly for PC and Steam. While many are smaller, independent projects – which is great for creativity – we also see larger, more ambitious releases from time to time. If you’re looking for a frightening experience with some action, here are some upcoming action horror games to watch out for.

I’ve been following the new Jujutsu Kaisen series, and it’s been amazing! Every chapter released so far has really delivered. What’s particularly exciting is how much new backstory and information about the world is being revealed, building on what we already knew. Plus, the author, Gege Akutami, is introducing a lot of powerful new sorcerers. Some of these new fighters are still growing into their abilities – especially the younger generation – but others are already incredibly strong.

Valve surprised gamers by announcing not just one, but three new products. Along with the new Steam Deck VR headset, they also unveiled a redesigned Steam Controller and a new Steam Machine.
