That’s going by a video posted byReddit user stso, anyway, which shows a necromancer player tearing through an end-game world boss in a matter of seconds. The boss in question isWandering Death, Death Given Life, a gigantic skeleton-like creature that rates as one of Diablo 4’s tougher encounters....

Plus an expansion and multiplayer on the horizon Just when I thought my longtime love/hate relationship with Pokémon (and all of its off-shoots) was over, the recently releasedCassette Beastspulled me back down the rabbit hole.

All aboard the Phantom Hype Train. Today in things I wish Square Enix was working oninstead of terrible blockchain gamesandyet more Final Fantasy 7 mobile games: a remake ofFinal Fantasy 6that uses the 3D positional combat ofFinal Fantasy Tactics. Luckily, while Squeenix might be preoccupied with lesser concerns, modders Connor and Chelsea Dunn (or at least, one of them under the YouTube channel of that name) have taken it upon themselves to port Final Fantasy 6 into the Final Fantasy Tactics engine, thus finally uniting two of the series’ absolute GOATs in one perfect-looking creation....

Turning back the clock In isolation, these so-called tricks might seem like tame parlour fare. Turning on a fan. Opening the door of a fridge. Rolling a tyre a short distance around a junkyard. Add in the fact that Sissel can only spirit jump over quite short distances, and it’s hardly the Haunting Of Hill House. But when these tiny sleights of hand are combined into a domino roll of cause and effect, the magic of Ghost Trick becomes clear....

EnterMosa Lina, a pixel platformer that calls itself a “hostile interpretation of the immersive sim, where nothing is planned, and everything works.” Unpredictability is what the game prides itself on and “hostile” is definitely not an understatement based on the embedded developer tweet below....

“We’ll make big games again… we’re not right now.” Before the bigXbox Games Showcaseaired earlier this month, some of the Xbox’s Twitter accounts seemed toteasethat aPsychonautsannouncement might be on the cards. The Xbox ANZ account tweeted an image of a noughts and crosses board that spelled out Psycho with three Xs.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and does not maintain his edging? I only had four TV channels growing up, and thus do not knowing anything about Bob L’éponge other than what is required to understand Tumblr posts (and that he lives in a tropical fruit). What I can tell you is that the SpongeBob Squarepants DLC forPowerWash Simulatorconfirms that PowerWash DLC is now the only way I will consume content about pop culture I do not understand....

Earth angle Alright, sure, so we technically assassinated your leader, and detonated a populated planet, and wiped out the first clan we ever met.
