Devolver Digital’s publishing label Big Fan Games and developer Shiny Shoe have today announced that Monster Train 2 — a sequel to the 2021 deckbuilding roguelike — will be choo-chooing its way onto Switch later this year. Much like its predecessor, this one will see you building up a deck of…
The Woedica’s Inheritance treasure map in Avowed is harder than it first looks. While it’s easy to figure out that it’s hidden outside Paradis’ walls, that’s not exactly narrowing things down much. Not only that, but you’ll also need to open a hidden door before you can claim your goodies. Given the previous owner of…
Do you know how many sandy hills and ponds there are across Shatterscarp? A lot. That’s why the Robe of the Arcane Cheater treasure map in Avowed is so infuriating.

Perhaps inevitably, Bonetti has since deleted his LinkedIn post though it is currently preserved for posterity on archive.today…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a very good videogame, fatally undermined by a single flaw. That flaw being that damn near every bit of dried meat you try to give your dog as a treat ends up rolling off into the horizon if you try to feed him on any kind of incline whatsoever. You…

Game Developer has reported that an “undisclosed number of employees” have been laid off at the Netflix-owned studio. This follows on from the streaming giant closing its internal…
From the creators of the Pocket386 and Pocket8086.
