Just in time for pre-Songs of the Past DLC refreshers, Witcher 3 modders have restored a cut menu which lets you watch story recaps at any time
Remember those little 'last time on The Witcher 3 ' recaps CD Projekt Red have Dandelion narrate if you load up a save or fast travel to a new section of the map midway through the RPG 's main story? Well, it turns out the studio cut out a menu that'd have allowed you to go back and watch any of these helpful reminders of what Gerry from the River was up to at any time, much in the same way you can pop to the character biographies if you've forgotten who someone important is or how Geralt upset them years ago during one of his paperback adventures. Now, modders have managed to restore said menu, creating an ideal way to quickly remind yourself of TW3's tale ahead of next year's Songs of the Past expansion , assuming you're not up for another playthrough.

Getting Ill: Understanding the grossest horror game in development and how it takes more than a few cues from Valve's seminal shooter Half-Life 2
Ill's been an attention-hogger ever since its Summer Game Fest 2025 reveal . It is, quite possibly, the grossest game in development. Startlingly lifelike trailers have given us a queasy glimpse at a fleshy world of bloated humanoid monsters we can shoot great, ragged chunks out of. Gore splatters, wounds geyser with blood, and skin hangs limply where it used to have something to attach to. Ill's is a world of grimacing nightmares, and there's a level of detail here we usually only see in the most expensive video game productions, or in something dedicated to disgust - like Scorn .
