Most RPGs have you out to save the world, or at least resolve some personal stakes, claim a macguffin or complete a prophecy. Dustgrave: A Sandbox RPG (just launched into early access) seems happy to let you pick your own goals in a procedurally generated world, as morally questionable as those goals may be. As…
Use today’s clue to supercharge your opening guess, or to help you make sense of the yellow letters you’ve picked up as you work your way down Saturday’s Wordle. And don’t worry if those winning greens still aren’t turning up, or aren’t turning up as quickly as you’d like—the December 14 (1274) answer’s only a…
World of Warcraft‘s newest large-group adventure will stand on the shoulders of 20 years of raids that came before—and break new ground. Literally. The Liberation of Undermine, the latest eight-boss underground raid that will launch as part of the 11.1 Undermine(d) update to The War Within expansion early next year, will contain new twists on…
Imagine a hardcore survival game… but it’s peaceful? It sounds like a contradiction, but survival is about more than just bleeding, starving, fending off zombies or wild animals, and struggling to stay alive from dawn until dusk. Fighting for your life is a thrill, but that’s not the only thing to enjoy in survival games….

A CBC Radio Canada report says WB Games Montreal has eliminated 99 jobs, primarily among Keywords subcontractors working on its QA team. One source told the site that employees were informed there wasn’t…
Helldivers 2 was on my radar pre-release, but from its first week I knew it was one of those games I’d be playing for a very long time. I’ve dabbled in lots of live service games without ever going full no-lifer on any of them and, being a middle-aged dad, Helldivers 2 instantly ticked a…
Larian Studios has brought back its Baldur’s Gate 3 advent calendar, promising 12 days of “wonders, music, and cheer” that kicks off with a tease—a not very informative tease, I’ll tell you up front, but a tease nonetheless—of its next game. You’ll have to work for your first reward, but just a bit, by solving…
What struck me about the Borderlands 4 trailer shown at The Game Awards is that the graphical fidelity has advanced so far that the comic book art style that defined the first game is fading away. It looks like the characters are doing Borderlands cosplay, with black Sharpie lines on foam props, and in the…
When I played Shadow of the Erdtree ahead of release, there was one thing I kicked myself for missing early on in the giant expansion—a crystal tear that essentially gave you Sekiro-style parrying in the Elden Ring combat system. A certain subset of FromSoft devotees were very excited to discover that feature, as it makes…
