After seven years of waiting, the Hytale launch times and release date are almost here, a moment that wasn’t quite so certain only a few months ago. For those unaware, development began in 2015 with funding from Riot Games, who would go on to acquire the team in 2020, only to pull the plug in…

We’ve all been there, a new co-op indie game releases for almost no money (almost). So you complete your civic duty by introducing it to the group chat with a new argument as to why everyone should spend $5 on a game that we’ll for sure play more than once. I’m certainly the guilty party…

What are your New Years’ resolutions? Well, scrap them (you were gonna anyway, let’s face it)—because your new one is to play Disco Elysium if you haven’t already.

I’ve heard the whooshy Doom door sound effect in Doctor Who, Event Horizon, Galaxy Quest, and plenty of other places. But there is one specific…

Minecraft is as robust a platform for modding as it is anything else. Even Hytale, the long-awaited, standalone Minecraft-like due to release into early access Jan. 13, can have its origins traced back to one of the biggest custom Minecraft server networks around, Hypixel. Taking after its foremost inspiration, Hytale has ambitions to let players…
