Nintendo Announces Partner Direct Showcase For February 5

Nintendo’s 2026 schedule is looking grim. While there are some first-party titles in the works, they’re very much in the B-tier, such as new Mario Tennis and Yoshi games. The biggest title by far is Pokémon Pokopia, but fans are expecting way more from the franchise, considering 2026 marks the 30th anniversary.

Punishing: Gray Raven is now available on Steam

Keep in mind that the server you connect to in Punishing: Gray Raven through the Steam client will be based on your Steam account’s region and language settings. The game does let you save and sync your progress across different devices, but if you already have an account on another platform, you’ll need to use the same server region to access it.

Nioh 3 PS5, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally full game impressions

Before looking at how the game runs on handheld devices, let’s talk about the visual options on the PC version of Nioh 3. While there are plenty of settings to tweak, they’re spread across several menus instead of being neatly organized. You’ll find graphics and display options together in the ‘Visuals’ tab of the system menu. Here, you can change your monitor, choose between windowed or fullscreen modes, turn v-sync on or off, set the resolution (including upscaling options), and cap the frame rate at 30, 60, or 120 FPS. You can also select a graphics preset, adjust screen brightness, and enable dynamic FPS adjustment which automatically lowers the frame rate cap to keep the game running smoothly. HDR support, post-effects, and advanced visual settings are also available. The game constantly displays how much video memory (VRAM) is being used. Plus, you can hide the on-screen interface to see the effects of your changes in real time.

Nioh 3 Review

I was surprised to see the series move beyond the Japanese Warring States period, as the first two Nioh games already covered most of its key events. The original Nioh focused on the battles of Sekigahara and Osaka, while Nioh 2 explored the lives of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, two hugely important figures from that time. To keep the series fresh, Koei Tecmo needed to broaden its scope, and that’s precisely what they’ve done.
