We talk a lot in videogames about ownership. It’s that especially fancy kill in Counter-Strike, that perfect character build in Diablo 4, the weird and wacky thing that happened only to you in Fallout. This is what survival games capture so well. Everything is so hard earned and personal - you’ve struggled and strived to make a house, scrounge a meal, or win a battle, and now you can bask in your individual achievements. Combining the RPG world of Kingdom Come Deliverance, the brutal systems of The Forest, and a little of Age of Empires’ resource gathering and building, Medieval Dynasty remains one of the best-loved games of its type on Steam, and now, thanks to a transformative update, it’s even better.

The new G-Shock DW-5000R is visually near-identical to the original DW-5000C launched in 1983 — right down to the length, and dimple positioning on the watch strap. The rugged appeal of the original DW-5000C carries plenty of nostalgic charm, but it was a novel concept when it first launched.
