Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio co-founder says a lot of RPGs are ‘still games for teenagers,’ and that he’s ‘tired of all the RPGs where you are this chosen one’
In a recent interview with PC Gamer's Joshua Wolens, Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Klima traced the inspirations for Kingdom Come: Deliverance back to boredom with the typical RPG—kill the dark lord, romance a companion or two, and so on. Klima added that this formula is still a mite too widespread even now for his tastes, and wondered if gamers haven't outgrown it by now.
Brigador devs: ‘The ’90s PC classics often taught really special things, but not because the story said, Wow, violence is bad!’
Brigador was a great sleeper hit of mech and simmy gaming, and studio Stellar Jockeys recently released its ambitious follow-up, Brigador Killers, into early access.

I guess that's why I'm relegating this to a quick post on the PC Gamer Hyperfeed™ rather than a 3-hour YouTube video called something like "The Haunting Ambiguity of Dark Souls 1." The game is undeniably hauntingly ambiguous, though, no word of a lie.

GTA 6 won’t be letting up on the satire: ‘sometimes you need to forego realism’
The promotional blitz for Grand Theft Auto 6 continues rolling out, with the latest example being a cover feature in Love, a fashion magazine that only publishes two issues a year. I guess you've got to reach the people who don't know what the Miami Heat is somehow.

On the subject of teeth, one of these classes is a tank called Rat King, a giant humanoid rodent who started out as a fan concept before becoming part of Deadlock's official roster.

Necks vs Milk experiment proves gamers like necks, hate milk
My experiment to see if gamers were as interested in milk as they are in necks has yielded conclusive proof that they are not. Those pageviews don't shown above don't lie. Gamers don't care about milk. Gamers only care about necks. I will focus more on neck-related content from now on. Please do not visit this website if you are looking for milk. Thank you.
