I'm a Vampire The Masquerade obsessive. Here are 1,037 words on why that Bloodlines remaster better be real
Rumors have spread about a Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines remaster. Here's a brief (1,000-word) rundown of why I hope they're true.

Sadly my role at Network N is up for redundancy. Full post below, missing my favorite Bloodlines 1 reference. Plz guess in the comments and also consider hiring me. 💕
I will admit that I have not shut up about Hellraiser Revival since Gamescom. Easily my personal GOTY so far, and a must-play for fans of the franchise. 📌 Full review, via @pcgamesn.com: www.pcgamesn.com/hellraiser-r...
Hellraiser Revival review - Angels, demons, and everything in between
Hellraiser Revival is both a loving tribute to the films and a solid horror game, but what's most interesting is how it made me feel.
pcgamesn.com
Hellraiser: Revival was easily my favorite game Gamescom, partly because it’s a fantastic recreation of the films, but also because of this interview. More to come. 👀 Please note: this interview contains content that some may find distressing. www.pcgamesn.com/hellraiser-r...
Hellraiser Revival wants you to feel "uncomfortable." After 30 minutes playing, it does all that and more
Hellraiser Revival was my favorite Gamescom demo, and I'm in awe at how Saber balances its heavy themes with nuanced storytelling.

I had a lot of fun working with @revivethespark.bsky.social on this one! There's exclusive new screenshots in here, too, so take a look! Super excited for the next chapter of Oaths and Ashes' journey! 🧛 www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
Building Berlin by Night. How Oaths and Ashes is redefining the Vampire: The Masquerade visual novel
Vampire: The Masquerade - Oaths and Ashes transports us to a modern Berlin by Night. I caught up with Revive the Spark to learn more.

I had the pleasure of catching up with CD Projekt Red about Cyberpunk 2077, reflecting on whether or not it was happy with the final version of the game, and why you should play in 2026! Full interview: www.pcgamesn.com/cyberpunk-20...
Cyberpunk 2077 in 2026: still alive, and still iconic
From a rocky launch to one of the most quintessential RPGs ever made: I asked CDPR why you should play the iconic Cyberpunk 2077 in 2026.

Everyone else has done their annual ‘I’m at Gamescom’ post, so now I feel left out. @tomhopkins9.bsky.social and I will be attending Gamescom on behalf of PCGamesN! Excited for tiny beers and far too many pretzels. If you’ve got any opps, it’s Lauren.bergin@network-n.com!

my game Pyre Lookout just got coverage from PCGamesN and I can't feel more honored and grateful! I'm going to frame these Disco comparisons and put them on my wall 😭
Soppy post ew. Bloodhunt was one of my first big guides projects in this industry. It’s the reason I discovered Vampire: The Masquerade, and the reason I fell in love with it. Thanks @sharkmob.bsky.social for the good times. ✨ www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodhunt is officially dead. I should be sad, but instead, I'm just thankful for the memories
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodhunt has officially shuttered, but instead of feeling sad, I'm just happy that it existed in the first place.

It’s that time again. 😈 My Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred review: www.pcgamesn.com/diablo-4/lor...
Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred review - Sanctuary is safe, but I'm conflicted
Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred is a dramatic end to the Mephisto saga, and while the endgame is the best it's been, I'm unsure where we go next.

Neverway isn't just Lovecraftian Stardew Valley. It's a horror RPG that you owe it to yourself to play. #Neverway #StardewValley #GamingNews www.pcgamesn.com/neverway/dem...
I got murdered by a ladybug in Neverway, and that cemented it as the only game I care about this year
In a world of Stardew Valley clones, Coldblood Inc's Neverway is one of the few life games that's actually doing things differently.

Finally managed to put my degree to use! Chatted to Jeronimo Barrera about Nekome: Nazi Hunter 🔪 www.pcgamesn.com/nekome-nazi-...
"We love punching Nazis," Jeronimo Barrera says. That's why Nekome: Nazi Hunter is all about killing them
Nekome Nazi Hunter is a story about revenge, and I sat down with ProbablyMonsters general manager, Jeronimo Barrera, to learn more about it.

Thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted to share this one. Turns out, I do. A long-delayed ramble about Indika: www.pcgamesn.com/indika/your-...
Indika forced me to confront some of life's toughest questions, and I think it's made me a better person
Indika is, on paper, a weird nun simulator, but its dark religious themes and switching gameplay styles have truly left a mark on me.

Couldn’t end the year without something VTM! I chatted to @outstar.bsky.social about her Bloodlines-inspired flash game, Santa Monica By Night, a fun little nostalgia kick that you absolutely need to play! 🩸 Thanks for taking the time to chat to me Marty! www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
There's a Bloodlines story you haven't played, and it's one of my favorite VTM games ever made
Santa Monica By Night is a Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines flash game that you need to try, and it's just ten minutes long, so no excuses.

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting to Devora Wilde ahead of The Game Awards! ✨ Excited to see her play a Dragicon in future! (That’s trademarked, by the way). #BaldursGate3 www.pcgamesn.com/baldurs-gate...
Baldur's Gate 3's Devora Wilde is okay with being typecast, especially if she gets to be "badass females"
Baldur's Gate 3's Lae'zel is one of gaming's most recognizable characters, so I ask actor Devora Wilde if she's worried about being typecast.
pcgamesn.com
Such a pleasure to chat to @neilnewbon.bsky.social again, this time about some more serious things. ✨ www.pcgamesn.com/baldurs-gate...
"F**k AI in performance," says Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon: "it's dull as hell," and companies should "spread the wealth"
With gen AI making its way into some of 2025's biggest games, I asked BG3's Neil Newbon for his thoughts on the controversial tech.

I was lucky enough to chat to Jason about all things VTM a couple of times this year. Wishing him all the best, and excited for whatever comes next! 🖤
After ten extraordinary years with White Wolf, the World of Darkness, and Paradox Interactive, I’m closing this chapter with deep gratitude, and beginning another. Working on Vampire has been one of the greatest honors of my career. You can read my farewell note here.... 🦇🍷
After all this time, it's finally here. 🧛 There's flickers of an amazing vampire RPG in Bloodlines 2. If you're a VTM fan you'll still enjoy your time in Seattle, but the issues with the game's combat and performance are hard to overlook. My review: www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
Bloodlines 2 is a sequel in name alone, and it isn't a good enough RPG to combat that disappointment
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 plunges you into a new, complex VTM story, but it struggles both as a sequel and as a strong action RPG.
pcgamesn.com
Fun fact: my first big investigative piece at PCGamesN was about Amorant, and now it’s getting a demo! I chatted to the wonderful @imabeebop.bsky.social about how it all happened, and I really can’t wait to see what the team does next! #VALORANT www.pcgamesn.com/valorant/amo...
Valorant's dating sim is real, playable now, and its dev urges you to "be a little cringe and follow your heart"
Riot's Valorant dating sim was just supposed to be an April Fools' joke, but dedicated fans have brought it back to life as Amorant.

I had an interesting chat with Jessica Nam about Supervive. She’s really transparent about the current state of the game and what the team is doing to remedy things. This is a big one, but it’s a meaningful one. Please check it (and Supervive) out! ✨ www.pcgamesn.com/supervive/in...
Supervive wanted to reinvent the MOBA, but that wasn't enough to keep its players: "at some point, the maths stops mathing"
Supervive could have been a League of Legends killer, but its low player count feels like a death sentence - or does it? I ask EP Jess Nam.

I’ve been wanting to write about Fellowship since I saw it at Gamescom. Blending all of the best bits of my favorite games, it’s become one of my ‘ones to watch.’ Here’s my exclusive interview with Hamish Bode. Enjoy! ✨ www.pcgamesn.com/fellowship/g...
Blending the best bits of WoW and Diablo, this new MMORPG in open beta is my dream game
Taking World of Warcraft's dungeon diving and mixing it with the build intricacies of Diablo, Fellowship is the game I've been waiting for.

My heart sank a little when I found out Valor Mortis was a soulslike. It’s a genre that I like, but one that’s become so oversaturated in recent years. It had the style for sure, but can it really do anything new? Yes, yes it can. Full preview: www.pcgamesn.com/valor-mortis...
I haven't cared about soulslikes since Elden Ring, but the Ghostrunner dev’s new game changed that
Slick with gore and stylish in its combat, Valor Mortis, the new soulslike from the Ghostrunner team, is the game the genre sorely needs.
pcgamesn.com
I found a random scrap of paper in Bloodlines 2 that made reference to Prince LaCroix. It begged the question: ‘which Bloodlines ending is canon?’ I asked Ian Thomas and @vampiresnvino.bsky.social at Gamescom. 👀 Bluesky hates our links, so have a photo instead. www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
I vehemently hate survival games. Like, really hate survival games. BUT, @envar.bsky.social’s Witchspire may just be the game that changes my mind. Here’s why. ✨ www.pcgamesn.com/witchspire/g...
The best thing I played at Gamescom was a witchy fantasy survival game, and I really, really hate survival games
Blending the vibrant visuals of Genshin Impact with the creature-catching survival elements of Palworld, Witchspire is my Gamescom favorite.

I came on here to post some fun Gamescom content, and have realized that I now can’t access my messages - sorry if you were at the show and it looked like I ignored you! My Discord is Morri0500 if people want to chat, and my Twitter is still active. Please ensure that work pitches go to my email.
This has been a long time coming. My preview of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. Yes, really. And yes, this is some of my best work so far. Proud Lauren moment, please give it a read. 💕
I've been waiting far too long for Bloodlines 2, and despite my reservations, it's the Vampire: The Masquerade game I've been dreaming of #Vampirethemasquerade #Gamescom2025 #GamingNews Here's our preview 👇 www.pcgamesn.com/vampire-the-...
