Despite having been originally released on PlayStation 4, Final Fantasy VII Remake never made it to the original Nintendo Switch, debuting on the Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this year with one of the most impressive third-party ports we have seen to date. The last-generation Nintendo system, with some pointed modifications, however, can run the PC version of the game surprisingly well, even with the performance overhead of the Box64 + Wine translation layer required to get the PC version to run on an ARM-based system. This impressive technical feat was achieved by modder Naga, who detailed the creation of a […]

Following its delay from 2025, Bungie's Marathon launched last month on PC and PlayStation 5. While the game was generally well received, with our own David Carcasole awarding it a 9 out of 10 score in his review, the extraction shooter by the makers of Halo and Destiny did not manage to become a smashing success at launch, and its player base is continuing to contract despite Bungie providing solid support so far.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced continues to be one leaky ship. After the game's existence was revealed long before its official announcement (something that Ubisoft itself acknowledged), new footage of the highly anticipated remake leaked online, showing how the game's visuals will be on par with those of the best-looking entry in the series to date: last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows. The leaked footage, shared on X by KAMI, is most likely lifted from the game's official trailer which will officially make its debut in a few days, on April 23. While it does not feature any gameplay, the footage […]
