Diablo 4’s new Lord of Hatred expansion is such a foundational shakeup to the ARPG’s core systems – not to mention a massive content drop – that you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a whole new game. And as it turns out, it was in development even before the base game launched back in May 2023, a testament to the amount of development resources Blizzard threw at this thing.It’s wild to think that Diablo 4 itself, more than a dozen seasons worth of new content, the Vessel of Hatred DLC, and countless balance updates have dropped in the span of…

Swimming around during the early parts of Subnautica 2 feels like such a slog, that is, until you manage to build a Tadpole.

Back in December of last year, despite being the head of the studio, James Ohlen left Archetype Entertainment, also leaving his role as producer on Exodus behind. It was a bit of a surprise, given that he co-founded the studio after having retired from BioWare in 2018. Now, in a recent interview, Ohlen explains why he made the call, coming down to potentially the most unifying experience in game dev: burnout. “I was running on fumes, and it was hurting my health, and my personal life, and everything. I just needed to step away,” Ohlen explained to PC Gamer.…

One of the ways Subnautica 2 stops you from exploring areas that you shouldn’t be in early on is by raising the temperature in specific zones. The only way to survive the heat in Subnautica 2 is to acquire an adaptation, stopping you from boiling alive in your space suit.

By this point, you have most likely encountered enemies like the Nibbler Mango and deadly Marrowbreach, but the real…

Pirkstein Castle is one of the most recognizable fortresses in Warhorse Studios’ beloved historical RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, serving as a homebase for protagonist Henry while the story is anchored in Rattay, but it’s also a real-life landmark of Bohemian medieval history.

There’s always a twinge of sadness when a game designed for VR later gets ported to be played on a regular screen, primarily because it’s just not technically the realm the game was made for. That’s sad to me! On the other hand, I do not own a VR headset, so I do win in those instances as well.
