Necrons are "extremely arrogant aliens that feel like they cannot die," so their weakness in Dawn of War 4 is an obvious one: greed
Dawn of War 4 's Necrons are the hard nuts of Warhammer 40,000. Each one of their soldiers is a >soul trapped in a living metal body, practically immortal thanks to the faction's reanimation technology. Like a clothes moth infestation, once they've made their home on a planet, they're virtually impossible to get rid of. They lend themselves to wars of attrition, constantly expanding their borders while absorbing enemy attacks. "Players love this type of playstyle," Dawn of War 4's senior game designer Elliott Verbiest tells me, "but it's something that isn't necessarily conducive to interesting multiplayer gameplay. It's kind of the same deal as rock, paper scissors where both players are just throwing rock over and over and over again." To counter this, developers King Art Games have introduced a chink in the Necron's armour, and it's a very human impulse: greed. Read more
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave might be the biggest game in the series
Hands-on: Intelligent Systems' latest packs dozens of hours of activities into just the first part of its story
20 hours in, I cannot believe the scale, complexity, and ambition of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is massive. If you're coming to Intelligent Systems' Switch 2 RPG after playing even Three Houses or Engage, you're going to be shocked by the scale of it. Within the first 10 hours of the game, you are given choices that show you just how broad the scope of the game is. As you play, more avenues open up before you in concertina, a bafflingly complex bloom of consequence, intrigue, and narrative that blossoms and blossoms. Read more
Preview: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Dials The 'Three Houses Formula' Up To 11
What's next? FOUR Houses?? Here's a take that feels colder and colder the further away we get from release: I preferred Fire Emblem Engage to Three Houses . Insubordination of the highest degree to some, for sure, but I'm a combat-first boi — I'll take a Weapons Triangle over a love triangle every day of the week — so all of Three Houses' storylines, character interactions, and time management gubbins always felt like they were getting in the way of the real meat and potatoes, for me.

Do a literal monster mash in Dance of Theseus, a strangely undisgusting blend of plastic surgery and Balatro-style fashion battles
It is time to confront the terrible truth that I once took part in a school fashion show. I ran in two categories, Ballroom and Street, a serious test of range for a kid who had only just mastered the daredevil technique of wearing a shirt without a tie. In the Ballroom bracket, I was asked to do a waltz in an Indian wedding gown provided by a local sponsor who, I can only assume, immediately went out of business. In Street, I had to wear a Gap hoodtop and shoot a fire-eater (one of the Cool Teachers) with a Super Soaker, while some other lost soul moonwalked down the runway in a golden suit. In retrospect, I am filing all this under the secret umbrella category of God's Greatest Mistake. There is exactly no photographic evidence, and I will thank you not to search for any on Facebook. It's so much less upsetting being a fashion model in Dance of Theseus , which might sound weird given that in Dance of Theseus, you don't just swap outfits – you graft on new heads, arms and legs, either bought from sniffy griffon dressmakers or moulded together out of seashells, horned skulls, and scraps of shimmering hide. Created by Shanghai-based Citreat Studio, it's a cheerful, colourful and somehow unrevolting life sim RPG with a kind of Balatro -esque Frankensteinmaxxing element. I've been playing the demo, and it's both entertaining and a source of endless inspiration. Argh, if only I'd had access to this, when I was 16!!! Read more
A Bunch Of Arcade Archives Namco Titles Are Now On Sale, Including Ridge Racer
The NAMCO LEGENDARY 2026 SALE has officially kicked off.
