Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 04 Reloaded feels like the devs looked at the mid-season update checklist and decided to throw a serious Zombies nightmare and a full action-movie meme into the same blender. On one side, players are getting Kowakujō, a new round-based Zombies map set in a cursed feudal Japanese castle inside the Dark Aether. On the other side, Nicolas Cage is stepping into the fight as an Operator, because apparently Black Ops 7 needed...

EMPULSE knows exactly who it is trying to grab: the players who still miss fast, messy, wall-running multiplayer shooters. This is 1047 Games, the team behind Splitgate, taking a swing at that Titanfall-shaped gap and saying, “Yeah, movement shooters still deserve a place.” And honestly, that is already enough to make a lot of players pay attention. The whole game is built around moving like a maniac. You are not just running from one fight to the next. You...

More than a week after its official release, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has had enough time for both critics and players to complete their first journey and offer more grounded impressions.

AMD has released version 2.3 of its FSR SDK, giving developers access to the latest iterations of its upscaling and ray-tracing technologies, including FSR Upscaling 4.1.1 and FSR Ray Regeneration 1.2. The updated SDK allows developers to integrate AMD’s newest FSR features directly into their games rather than relying on the company’s driver-level “FSR Upgrade” functionality. This should make implementation more seamless while enabling studios to take fuller advantage of AMD’s latest FSR Redstone technologies. One of the most notable...

Voltage High Society is not the kind of game that wastes time trying to look normal. It drops you onto Nemo Ultra, a ruined cyberpunk prison island packed with locked paths, strange machines, and monsters that look like they were built during a nightmare. At first glance, it has the bones of a Metroidvania: explore, find new routes, unlock abilities, return to old areas, and slowly understand how the whole place connects. The twist is that it plays in first...

Others do it because the idea is so strange, so easy to explain, and so surprisingly good that people cannot stop talking about it. Stonemachia feels like it belongs in that second group.

That...
