Kickstarter, then?

As far as spouting personal preferences go, I'd much rather want an endearingly generic RPG á la Might & Magic (which was always more Fantasy 101 than Wizardry with all its distinct races etc.) than,...

I wouldn't ever want to sacrifice one for the other but, yeah, the tight and unapologetically sophisticated action gameplay of Vanquish definitely deserves to be on the PC every bit as much as a game...

Haven't seen a proper impressions thread for Binary Domain so far, so here we go. I don't know how much interest there really is in the RPS community for...

2012 is shaping up to be the year when gamers start to play a more active and decisive role in the whole industry, for better and worse. I'd count Kickstarter on the plus side and the massive...

These endless FOV discussions profoundly puzzled me first, since that's simply not a topic I'm familiar with from my previous 20+ years of PC gaming. Apart from mere facts such as recent console-led...

Dave Gilbert's Blackwell series is definitely recommended for fans of story-oriented point-and-clickers. The first game in particular used to be a bit rough but has since been cleaned up with much...

Not really sure what "these games" means in this context. AC's combat (entire series) is pretty repetitive and formulaic, and Mount & Blade is a slightly awkward simulation with no obvious connection...

By all accounts, the demo version of KotC includes a misleading difficulty spike which is rather unrepresentative of the full game. Partly because of its extensive feedback systems (not only showing...

The wonderfully weird "Vista exclusive" release of Halo 2, on Legendary difficulty. It's funny how a little bit of context goes a long way; the game was greeted by a loud "meh" by the PC community...

I'm weirdly hooked on the Legendary difficulty mode in the old PC port of Halo 1. Last time I finished the game was during the same year it came out and at the time it was hard to forgive the...

Harsh and unnecessary. Age of Fear is in fact a great little turn-based tactical war game ("strategy game" might be somewhat misleading as the focus is squarely on comparatively small-scale military...

Perhaps, although both these Kickstarter projects deal with such well-defined genre niches that I think name recognition is less important than the specific kind of gameplay experiences being...

I'm in with $300. Everything Fargo has said about the project so far makes it sound like a game I'd desperately want to play. Symbolically enough, in less than 24 hours the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter...

For all its seemingly juvenile dudebro banter (which is a whole lot smarter and more self-aware than most other similar shows), the Giant Bombcast is full of great, insightful analysis of the...

If awesome party-based, turn-based tactical combat is something that appeals to you (and if you like Spiderweb's games it clearly is), there's no better recent indie RPG than Knights of the Chalice...

BG1 is well worth playing and has a unique charm of its own. In fact, I've always found the game's decidedly humorous, 4th wall-breaking low-level adventures through picturesque villages, sunny...

I'd say a substantial part of the whole rationale for a PC-oriented site like RPS is precisely to critique extreme linearity from the point of view of another perspective on what gameplay could and...

From the Kotaku article:


Says who? Brendan Keogh is certainly welcome to have his own perspective on the proper balance between linearity and freedom, but here he's arbitrarily asking PC gamers...

No way, it's two full pages long (i.e. tediously lore-heavy) and doesn't have any stats in it.

On topic, while it might be unrealistic to expect Exile to get to Steam they should at least add...

I take it that not even Geneforge 1-5, Avadon and Eschalon count as RPGs?

My Level 28 Imperial soldier specializing in Heavy Armor and One-Handed swords. No dragons were harmed in the making of this screenshot since I don't use bows at all and only rarely throw some meager...

Apparently it's something happening to everybody, and one of those "not sure if it's a bug or a feature or both" things. Here's the first time I experienced it;
...

As a fellow Swede I completely agree; the voices are both all over the place and intrinsically weird for a Scandinavian to have to listen to. Even a supposedly epic Ingmar Bergman regular like Max...

Has anyone not heard of Steampunk? Vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, now that's a weird new thing which I'm not sure will ever catch on...
