Diablo Immortal is coming to PC with an open beta on June 2nd

The Diablo game everyone was real mad about Here’s a trailer announcing it: I like Diablo plenty, but I wasn’t cutting the logo into my hair in 1996 or anything. To me, the more casual fan, Immortal coming to PC seems like a good thing. Diablo 4 is still also in development and every developer diary about it sounds desperate to reassure players that it’s exactly the shade of dark grey they want it to be....

Moviedle is a Wordle-like that condenses a movie down to a single second

Get it wrong? Two seconds. I continue to playFramed every day, a browser quiz in which you attempt to guess a movie based on an image from the film. Get it wrong and it shows you another image, and so on. The terribly named Moviedle does something different. The aim, again, is to identify a movie, but instead of a single frame, it squeezes the entire movie into a single second....

Satisfactory update 6 will tackle exploration, while devs gear up for 1.0

Expect longer gaps between updates Here’s the video that explains everything: It’s a common story for early access games.

Some features simply cannot be produced in the short turnaround those regular updates require, however, and so they get bumped back and bumped back. If developers want to actually finish a game - or at least hit something they can call 1....

The Iron Oath early access review: a tactical RPG on a mission to stand out

Band of the battles I’m going to complain aboutThe Iron Oatha lot. Not because it’s bad, but because I’m really enjoying it, and I think it has the potential to really take off. Think of these complaints, for the most part, as a pre-flight checklist done long before the pilot has even sat down; if the game were not in early access, these would be big disappointments rather than exactly the kind of annoying details that early access is meant to iron out....
