Hello Games founder Sean Murray didn’t have to go on The Game Awards and declare that the studio’s next game, Light No Fire, would take place on a planet that’s “bigger than earth” and “as varied as a universe.” His words didn’t get away from him in a Molyneux sort of way: He knows he’s…
It’s been a while since I dove headfirst into a milsim, but Offworld Industries’ bid to revitalize its WW2 spinoff of Squad makes me want to clear my calendar. Post Scriptum (2018) has been fully acquired by publisher and Squad developer Offworld Industries, who’s slapped on a new label that better reflects what you’re getting:…
In Diablo 4’s hardest dungeon, you have 10 minutes and one life to kill the hardest enemies in the game. A little over a week after its launch, a Chinese player named Xingluoah was able to conquer the final and most brutal tier of the Abattoir of Zir using a newly discovered exploit, a perfected…
In the history of videogames, there are few botches more infamous than that of Godus. Envisioned as a god game in the style of Molyneux’s earlier work on the groundbreaking Populous, it was also intended to be the home of the winner of Curiosity, the game about smashing away pieces of a cube to reach…
We gave everyone a gentle nudge at the start of December to remind them that the clock on the Bluetooth upgrade option for the Stadia controller was ticking down: Google had given Stadia owners until the end of 2023 to convert their controllers to wireless functionality, or be stuck with wires forever. But someone, somewhere,…
Twitch has taken back a rule change it made just two days ago. After seeing what some streamers did with the freedom to stream “artistic depictions of nudity,” the site said it “went too far.” The change was one of several adjustments to Twitch’s policies on sexual content and nudity made on Wednesday, and lifted…
The challenge was simple, really: Honour Mode had told me exactly what I was in for before I started. One save, no backsies, no cheeky Alt+F4s to safety. If the active party wiped even once, even to something stupid, then I could only keep my save file with an asterisk—I’d be shamefully knocked down from the…
The 2023 Steam Award nominations are out, meaning it’s time to cast your ballots for your favorite games across categories ranging from Game of the Year to Best Game You Suck At. Unlike most other awards programs, the Steam Awards limits nominees to a maximum of two categories, which presumably explains why Baldur’s Gate 3,…
Homeworld 3 is the third instalment of the Homeworld series, a space strategy game whose last instalment came out in 2003. It received a remaster in 2015, which we gave a 92 in our Homeworld Remastered Review—a worthy remake of “one of the most challenging and evocative strategy series ever made.” Homeworld 3 was voted…
This year, I did a bit of personal respeccing of my gaming habits and focused hard on cozy games. Like so many of us, I still love games like Stardew Valley and have given plenty of other farm sims or life sims or “casual” games a try in between Stardew sessions. But the label “cozy”…
