Soulslikes continue to enjoy mainstream popularity with each new release, and the coming months are packed with releases that push the boundaries of this genre. Developer Knight by Light’s FADE is one such game that is looking really promising at the moment. It tells a coming-of-age story of a prince who rises to the occasion and banishes evil from his kingdom.

We return to hell for a second time after our current generation performance review of Diablo 4. In part 2 of our Diablo 4 performance review we ride through the last generation and Stem Deck versions of the latest Diablo engine across console and hand held PC. We test how it scales across the previous generation, what options the Steam Deck offers over that and how it compares to the current generation in the Xbox Series X|S and PS5. Prepare to get burned once more, in the fires of Diablo.

Atlas Fallen, the epic fantasy action-RPG where you battle legendary creatures in superpowered combat, just released in-depth footage showcasing its high-octane action and exploration through breathtaking environments. Developed by Focus Entertainment’s studio Deck13 Interactive, the game releases August 10 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC and can be pre-ordered now for all platforms.
