GAME-HIVE: Your Ultimate Destination for Gaming News, Reviews, and Tips

Far Far West has five different primary weapons to use in the game, and they're all unique in their own ways. While I will certainly have loved more options, the guns completely change the gameplay, and more so once you learn to master the spells. But that said, let's look at which weapons are the more effective ones to use. Table of contents Far Far West primary weapons tier list S-tier A-tier Far Far West primary weapons tier list Since there are five weapon choices, I have just used two tiers. None of the guns are bad, and they progressively get better when you upgrade them. S-tier choices are the strongest options to consider. They're extremely lethal against all types of enemies. A-tier choices are quite close to S-tier options. Once you get all the upgrades, they can be considered as S-tier. Disclaimer: I have yet to unlock the Leveredge , and I will analyze it quickly and add to the tier list below. Screenshot by Destructoid S-tier Minigun...

I love a good solo indie dev story, especially when there's some comedy involved. Introducing Game Quest: The Backlog Battler . Are you like me, someone who dabbles in Steam sales and bundles and then never looks at some games ever again, let alone downloads, plays, and finishes them? Then this upcoming indie may be up your alley, or just your worst nightmare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYijsW5p4F8 Game Quest: The Backlog Battler lets you battle your backlog of games, which is cute enough as it is. But the devil here is in the details, in that "the more you paid" for these games, "the more damage they will do to you (just like in real life)," the description reads. "Fight in an arena surrounded by your well-played spectator games, while the immortal royalty (the games you have never played) lord over you at the end of the arena," solo dev Nic Taylor described on the game's Steam page. "Games you played for up to two hours will at...

With another month of 2026 quickly coming to an end, it means we're that much closer to Grand Theft Auto 6. Due to launch on Nov. 19 this year, it's feeling more and more real by the day, and that will likely be exacerbated once Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive soon begin what's expected to be a torrid marketing push for likely the biggest entertainment launch ever. Screenshot via Rockstar Games YouTube Naturally, gamers are still a bit worried about what GTA 6 will cost. With rising prices across the industry, including Nintendo pulling the trigger on some games at $79.99 last year, it's a legitimate concern. But so far, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is hesitant to confirm what the game will be priced at for launch. "What we think about is making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth, in history – and it’s a pretty daunting challenge," Zelnick said when speaking recently at an industry event for video game executives, according t...

ARC Raiders' biggest update since launch dropped this morning, and the returns on player opinions is pretty mixed so far. The Riven Tides update , on top of adding a new map and other content, featured several balancing changes to items and weapons in the game. But after a few hours of play, ARC Raiders gamers seem to have a number of complaints about what's been changed. Image via Embark Studios A hefty nerf to the Photoelectric Cloak, which allows players to go un-seen to the AI ARC enemies, seems to be the biggest problem for the majority of angry players. In the update, its weight value tripled while its power usage rate quadrupled, leaving gamers upset. "When are devs going to understand making the game tedious does not equal more fun or more engagement?" one player said . "This is beyond frustrating." "The Photoelectric Cloak has been quite aggressively over-performing, especially in regards to the length of time it can be activated,...

Warhorse Studios, the developers behind the Kingdom Come series, thought it wise to give Redditors a chance to inquire them on any topic shortly after laying off a Czech translator in favor of AI. Reddit showed up not to ask but to teach a shade-powered lesson about humanity. My second favorite thing about Reddit is the AMA (Ask Me Anything). My very favorite thing about Reddit is an AMA gone bad, especially when Reddit users come together to enact justice against misguided AMA hosts via incredibly cheeky questions, and we sure are getting that, with people asking the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developers things such as: "Why are you pro generative-AI despite its obvious negative impact on people working in the creative industries, including gaming?" "I always dreamt of working as a translator for warhorse studios, do you think I have a chance?" "Why need creative directors, why not replace them with AI as you did with your translators." There...

After years of development, testing, and rumors, Valve has officially announced a release date and a variety of features for its newest product, the Steam Controller. While this is technically the Steam Controller 2.0, with the original launching in the 2010s, Valve decided to keep the branding the same for the new iteration. Unlike the original, however, the 2026 Steam Controller looks to be a technical marvel in the gaming controller space. The review embargo for the product has been lifted, and early testers have been thoroughly impressed with all of the features and specs Valve was able to fit inside the bulky controller. The Steam Controller is set to launch worldwide on May 4 at 1 pm ET, and you can purchase it directly from Steam's website . As we saw with some early leaks of the new product, the Steam Controller is going to cost $99, which many fans weren't too happy about when they initially heard the price point. However, it appears Valve is doing its best to jus...
