Helldivers 2’s breakout success continues, with the game sitting pretty near the top of Steam’s top-selling and most-played games lists and boasting over 250,000 “very positive” reviews. Partly that’s because it’s a total blast, and the overarching galactic war is being played out beautifully, but not a little is down to the game’s willingness to…
While Critical Role has partnered with Wizard of the Coast on collaborations like The Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, most actual-play series where you can watch people play D&D are unofficial. Though there have been several produced by WotC over the years (I used to watch the Spelljammer campaign Legends of the Multiverse religiously), it seems…
Welcome to the golden age of roguelike deckbuilders. New ones come out on Steam every week, and there are some major roguelike deckbuilders on the horizon: Monster Train 2 is launching on May 21, and Slay the Spire 2 is due out sometime later this year. But it’s not just the big names you should…
Next week, Destiny 2 comes to an end. The Monument of Triumph update, releasing on June 9, marks the final release for Bungie’s nine-year-old live-service behemoth.

Allow us to plunge you and your friends straight into a medieval castle that’s yours to explore – or is it?

It’s difficult to think of games whose soundtrack had a bigger impact on an entire generation than the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. Popular music had been a part of games for decades: Journey Escape for the Atari 2600 was a particularly weird example, and the use of Song 2 by Blur in FIFA: Road…
As cozy online games continue to prove that not all MMOs need to be RPGs, I’m always excited to dip into a new world. Islands of Insight is the latest, a “shared-world puzzle game” of chill challenges. After a few hours with it though, I don’t think the concept gels. Islands of Insight has constructed…
It’s been some time since we last left off with The Walking Dead series at Telltale in the summer of 2014. Since then, we’ve been hard at work with Robert Kirkman and the team at Skybound Entertainment in fleshing out some very big ideas for where to take things next. The first two seasons of…
Hello, dear PlayStation.Blog readers! Undead Horde releases today on PlayStation 4! The game is a “necromancer simulator” combining elements from action-RPG, strategy, hack ‘n slash and minion games. I’d like to share some background details from our development process, to try to answer the question: “What is Undead Horde?” In late 2017 we were furiously…
“It is going to be a great showcase”. We’re so close to The Game Awards now and although the show’s creator and host Geoff Keighley is an incredibly busy man, he’s taken time out of his action-packed schedule to share one last update on how everything is going. In his latest video (shared via X),…
