• How to beat the How to Fish Tuna

  27-08-2026 12:49 via gamesradar.com
  
  Catching and killing the How to Fish Tuna can be tricky as, despite only being a miniboss, it's a particularly furious fish. The Tuna is massive, can bounce and leap very high, and hits like a truck, so you need to take care when fighting one, especially since the lure required to catch it is rather expensive too, so you don't want to waste them. But you need to kill a Tuna every time you want to fight the final boss of island 4, so it's good to know the best way to defeat one in How to Fish, wh

The Spider-Man variant of one of the best gaming chairs comes decked in out in Peter Parker's red suit, but this isn't a bold eyesore. That marled design and darker red keep things slightly more muted than most Spider-Man merch on the shelves right now.

• LG just unleashed the "world's first" native 1,000Hz gaming monitor, but I want to see what players can actually do at those speeds

  27-08-2026 12:13 via gamesradar.com
  
  Yes, there's now an LG UltraGear monitor that natively hits 1,000Hz at 1080p. No, I've no idea who would need a screen that can hit those speeds, but I absolutely want to see someone who would embrace that refresh rate decimate something in a competitive shooter. Coming in at $999.99, the 25-inch LG UltraGear 25G590B isn't that pricey given it's the "world's first" 1,000Hz gaming monitor with native abilities. I'm used to seeing higher tags slapped on anything that achieves any sort of accolades

The only choices with any kind of real consequence came from GTA 5's closing mission, which would significantly affect what ending you unlocked.

  I'd like to imagine the folks at Dazed Games, the indie studio behind viral friendslop sensation How to Fish, are kicking back with a cooler full of brewskies, angling for salmon in a crystal clear alpine lake in Sweden where they're based. In reality, they're probably hard at work keeping servers stable trying to manage the absolutely staggering amount of players logging on every day to instead catch virtual fish with their friends.

• Crimson Desert updates are slowing down in "scope, scale, and pace" as Pearl Abyss shifts focus to the DLC

  One of the odder surprises from Gamescom Opening Night Live was the reveal of Crimson Desert Enhanced. It partly encompasses a brand-new 2.0 update adding substantially more depth to the game's story, but it's a soft rebrand that marks the culmination of all the work developer Pearl Abyss has done to improve Crimson Desert since launch. Those free updates are now slowing down so that the studio can shift its focus to the upcoming DLC."I think this is a great transition point," PR and marketing d

• Proving Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's authenticity, Warhorse's biggest fan hikes through Czechia "by foot" to make 3D maps of the RPG's historical locations

  One of the best things about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, along with its great characters, systems-driven and often emergent gameplay, and absorbing story, is that its stunning world can be explored in real life. Warhorse's meticulously detailed recreation of 15th century Bohemia features entire cities, towns, monuments, and landmarks mapped from real-life locations you can visit yourself.

• Just as Genshin Impact was called a Zelda: Breath of the Wild ripoff, Nodusfall is accused of copying FromSoftware's homework

  The reveal of Nodusfall, Hoyoverse's Monster Hunter-like co-op action game, has sparked comparisons to FromSoftware games like Elden Ring, and it's taking me right back to the earliest days of Genshin Impact, when Hoyoverse was still more widely known as miHoYo. After years of anime games in seemingly every genre, Hoyoverse has dipped into more realistic fantasy territory with Nodusfall, and a few early boss designs may feel familiar if you've spent the past decade steeping in FromSoftware's tea

• The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion doesn't have to make the RPG "feel different" because it's still "relevant" after 11 years, says CD Projekt Red dev

  26-08-2026 23:10 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past isn't going to make the 11-year-old base game feel brand new, because it doesn't need to. CD Projekt Red and the Songs of the Past expansion's co-developer Fool's Theory knows The Witcher 3 is the ideal RPG experience, so Songs of the Past – due in 2027 – should enhance rather than overpower it. It'll be like a pinch of salt. Fool's Theory CEO Jakub Rokosz explains to PC Gamer in a new interview, "I wouldn't say that [Songs of the Past] will feel diff

  Now that Gamescom has kicked off, a seemingly endless barrage of new game trailers are hitting social media, and it's easy for smaller projects to get lost in the shuffle.
