Hardcore Gamer

Hardcore Gamer started as a magazine in 2005, a period when many magazines were closing their doors. Instead of following this trend, it quickly gained popularity, with hundreds of thousands of copies reaching subscribers around the world within just a few months. In 2012, as the internet became the main platform for journalism, Hardcore Gamer transitioned to an online publication. In 2023, it was acquired by Valnet Inc.

The Manor in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the bigger mysteries.

1 day ago | hardcoregamer.com | Adam Beck

One of the biggest MMORPGs on the planet, Lost Ark, is updated on a monthly basis, with Amazon taking in a lot of feedback from the community to hopefully build a better version here in the west. The April 2025 update has finally arrived to many's excitement, as it features a bevy of new changes and enhancements, but it also features a rather disappointing issue that Amazon has yet to address.
Review: Maliki: Poison of the Past

2 days ago | hardcoregamer.com | Jeremy Peeples

Maliki: Poison of the Past was a highlight of the Steam Next Fest and its demo was gameplay-rich while also still showcasing some of the story and a gorgeous diorama art style. It was a perfect example of how a demo can properly showcase an RPG, and a turn-based one at that, while still holding back enough content to make you want the final product, and like the legendary Final Fantasy VII demo, balanced that wonderfully.
Where to Unlock Cosmic Exploration in FFXIV

While Final Fantasy XIV is primarily known for its story and raid material, one aspect of the game that goes underappreciated is its trade scene. Both Crafting and Gathering have been an integral part of the MMORPG ever since its birth, with players being able to make a pretty Gil by simply interacting with nodes around the world, or crafting the various equipment required to not only progress through the story, but participate in the higher-end content.
Say Goodbye to Your Custom Characters in Elden Ring Nightreign

2 days ago | hardcoregamer.com | Kevin Dunsmore

Elden Ring Nightreign is a From Software game unlike any other. The co-op focused title switches up the traditional formula in numerous ways. The most obvious is the structure of the game moving away from the exploration of a connected world and towards more of an extraction or battle royale title. Players now drop into Limveld, loot, battle enemies, face down bosses and try to survive long enough to take on the Nightlord. It's a dramatic shift from Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring.
Schedule 1: How to Fix Cauldron Issues

3 days ago | hardcoregamer.com | Melissa Sarnowski

You'll probably run into at least one bug in Schedule 1. Considering the game is still in Early Access and hasn't been available for too long, it's not unusual to run into issues at random, then become frustrated by trying to find a solution, or figure out if others have had the same issue. Some solutions are rather universal for Schedule 1, letting you try it anytime you find something isn't working the way it should. Other times, you need to find a specific solution.
Best Customers for Each Dealer in Schedule 1

3 days ago | hardcoregamer.com | Melissa Sarnowski

Schedule 1 gives you the chance to recruit NPCs as dealers to help you distribute products. While you can assign customers to whichever dealers you have working for you, it's not the best strategy, even though it's easier than figuring out the best way to divide customers among dealers. There are also cases where you want to keep specific customers for yourself depending on what you're currently working on unlocking.
