MSI made a $5,000 laptop with an RGB trackpad

Palworld is a game that essentially sends you out into the big open world, pats you on the back, and says "good luck". With only a handful of tutorials to guide you, you're mostly left to fend for yourself, find shelter, and craft weapons to take down the more fierce Pals out there. It promotes creativity, asking fans to find their own solutions to the game's toughest challenges, and I doubt you'll find a more unique way to take down a boss than this.

Cities: Skylines II developer Colossal Order has a uniquely close relationship with its community. The original Cities: Skylines came out in 2015 and gobbled up the audience that was left behind by EA’s SimCity, which came out in 2013 and was a busted mess. Cities: Skylines scratched that urban-planning itch, plus it cost just $30. The game came first to PC, Mac and Linux with modest hardware requirements, and it hit consoles within two years. Critically, Cities: Skylines also supported mods through the Steam Workshop, allowing players to add their own tools to the game and share those features with others.

The Adamantine Forge in Baldur's Gate 3 is as tough as mithril nails. You have to fight a giant towering construct in what is one of the game's most unconventional bosses. Swinging a sword and casting spells aimlessly won't get you anywhere. You have to soften it up with lava, lure it to the central pillar, and crush it over and over again. Or you can just dive on it with an owlbear, I guess.

If a ‘price to performance’ gaming laptop is what you are after, you will be pleased to learn that the MSI Katana 15 has dropped back to its lowest price of $1,199.99 on Amazon. There were occasions when the portable powerhouse was hovering around the $1,215 to $1,249 mark, but now, the latest deal becomes a significantly sweeter option for those who wish to replace their desktop with something that they can carry around with them at school, or their favorite coffee shop.

There are laptop deals for various purposes such as work or school, so it only makes sense that you should invest in a gaming laptop if your primary goal is to play the best PC games. If you want the best of the best, it’s highly recommended that you take advantage of HP’s offer for the HP Omen 16. From its original price of $2,000, it’s down to $1,500 — it’s still not what you’d call affordable, but it’s actually a steal when you consider the power under its hood. You’ll have to act fast if you want the $500 in savings though, as the bargain may be gone as soon as tomorrow.

Gamers, don’t let this offer slip through your fingers — the HP Omen 17t gaming laptop with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card is down to $1,350 in HP’s flash sale, following a $350 discount on its original price of $1,700. It’s still not cheap, but the savings will go a long way in building your collection of video games and accessories. You’re going to have to act fast though, as it’s not a good idea to wait until the last minute because stocks of the gaming laptop may already be sold out by then.

The Dell G16 is one of the brand’s most popular gaming laptops, so it won’t be a surprise if Dell’s offer that slashes $600 off its price gets sold out quickly. From an original price of $1,800 for a configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, it’s down to only $1,200 — a steal, considering the features of this device. You’re going to have to hurry if you want to take part in this clearance sale though, as we’re not sure if stocks of the gaming laptop will still be available by tomorrow.

Ubisoft's director of subscriptions Philippe Tremblay has said that for all the growth of videogame subscription services in the past few years, players are still accustomed to "having and owning their games". Accordingly, he feels his task is to help you grow "comfortable" with the idea that the game you're playing might be taken offline as part of the release schedule, with Tremblay pointing out that you can still resume your save file when the game is next available.

Frostpunk 2 developer 11 bit studios has announced the chilly city-builder sequel will be available on PC Game Pass from day one alongside its PC release.

If you want a powerful gaming laptop, you should be ready to make a huge purchase because you’re not going to get fast performance from a machine that you can buy for cheap. You should be on the lookout for discounts though, such as Best Buy’s offer for the HP Omen 16 that slashes its price to $1,200 from $1,850. The $650 in savings will go a long way towards building out the rest of your collection of video games and accessories, but you’ll only get it if you hurry with the transaction because the bargain may sell out much sooner than you think.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet introduced a bunch of new stuff with the Indigo Disk DLC, including the ability to fly with Miraidon/Koraidon, new Pokemon such as Hydrapple and Terapagos, and a rival that we all love to hate in Kieran. However, the most popular addition to the game has to be the Synchro Machine, something that lets you control your favorite Pokemon and run around Blueberry Academy and the surrounding area with them.
