Team Lemons play Divinity Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition
What’s this? Two video posts on the site in two days? Now, you can’t say we don’t spoil you, because, well, we do. If you were wondering why we didn’t have a Monday Matinee or even a Tuesday Matinee it’s because we were busy filming our first ever episode of our new Team Play series. In this series myself, Noa, and Mathew will be playing…

The first XI hours of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
I’ve played Dragon Quest XI for about twelve hours now - or XII hours, in Dragon Questese - which is only a fraction of the whole thing, but a fraction is enough to offer some first impressions. That said, a first impression of Dragon Quest XI is rather like meeting a new member of a family you’re already well acquainted with. It may be the…

Video: Bus Simulator 18’s multiplayer will break your bank balance (and maybe your bones)
The news that Bus Simulator 18 had added a multiplayer mode caused quite the ripple in the RPS treehouse. For one afternoon cat pics and Brendy’s weird GIFs made way for dreams of glorious four bus convoys, all honking horns and sliding open doors in perfect unison. The reality, as I discovered with Noa, is more frightening. This is an unforgiving world where the tiniest…
So how about you and I don't tell Graham that I spent a chunk of this morning watching blacksmiths on YouTube as they forged weaponry from videogames, yeah? It all started with this marketing thingummy from BioWare where they got a local blacksmith called Shawn Cunningham to forge a real life version of the Inquisition Longsword from the Dragon Age-iverse.

Ark: Survival Evolved [official site] is the survival game du jour, and not without cause. While others have tried to create games that combine dinosaurs and the crafting, progression, and violent encounters typical of the genre, ARK's early access release seems to come the closest to pulling it off. To explore it a little more, we asked Andro Dars to make a video playthrough to…
Feature: Walking (and dying) With Dinosaurs
Ark: Survival Evolved [official site] has found a huge audience as a long-term, surprisingly friendly crafting and survival game, but the approaching Survival Of The Fittest mode is aiming for something different. It drops a group of players into the world with few supplies and a re-balanced progression curve and challenges them to be the last person standing. In other words, it's Battle Royale with…
Feature: Better Than The Premier League
Rocket League [official site] is RPS's Game of the Month for August, and part of the reason why is that it's almost as fun to watch as it is to play. That's why we wanted to highlight the best Rocket League players and plays. I've searched the highs and lows of the internet for skilled backflips, astonishing saves, one of a kind goals and the best of…

Want to watch the best GTA 5 videos? Well hello and welcome to the last annual Horascars Awards, a celebration of what the Grand Theft Auto 5 [official site] community has managed to do so far with the PC-only camera-positioner and slowmoifier Rockstar Editor tool. They're like the Oscars only they carry no weight whatsoever and are mostly a framing device for me to show off some…
The No Show Conference is a weekend-long event about "how we make games and why we make them". It's one of a growing number of conferences about videogames where the less-than-usual suspects offer thoughtful, sideways perspectives on videogame design and culture. Last year's inaugural event offered plenty to mull over, and the videos of this year's talks are now all online. I've pulled out my…
