Palworld just got a huge Terraria-themed update, which as it turns out is a lot less ridiculous than Silent Bob in Warzone

You might know Palworld for its jaw-dropping player counts, its uncanny resemblance to the world’s biggest media franchise, or its legal battle with Nintendo over that last thing I mentioned. Despite all the hubbub, it’s just a pretty alright survival crafting game full of cute monster buddies parodying (or ripping off, depending on how cynical…

A tabletop RPG designer made a game about the way FromSoft NPCs say cryptic stuff and go ‘heh heh heh’ all the time, and the result is a love letter to the ‘grubby little weirdos’

Among many FromSoftware signatures, the Dark Souls developer’s NPCs always seem to talk, you know, like that. They’re cryptic and brittle, giving the minimum amount of information and surrendering zero context while they laugh, chuckle, or even chortle in the most unsettling way possible. Then you do a few quests, forget them for a while,…

CD Projekt winds up Cyberpunk 2077 fans with fifth anniversary post, then cruelly breaks their hearts: ‘We’re not teasing anything’

Cyberpunk 2077 launched on December 10, 2020, which means that the fifth anniversary is just over a week away.

Almost 20 years since it hit Steam, Garry’s Mod finally addresses ‘lackluster support for weapons used by NPCs’ and gives Dr Kleiner his gun license

I’m always taken by surprise when Garry’s Mod receives a new update. Since it came out when I was still a teenager, I just assume it’s ancient history. Yet in reality, Facepunch’s anarchic toolbox remains very much a going concern. With over 22,000 players in the last 24 hours, Garry’s Mod is the 62nd most…

It’s taken the genius behind Elden Ring’s seamless co-op mod less than 24 hours to get a working prototype going for Nightreign, allowing 2-person matches

FromSoftware, I love thee dearly—but I think we can all agree that your multiplayer elements are always a little goofy.
