In the wake of the Marvel Rivals controversy around a website that offered to pay players to deliberately sabotage matches, NetEase is rolling out a “comprehensive upgrade” to its anti-throwing measures. The new system brings together automatic and manual reviews to help catch people who are maliciously disrupting the multiplayer game, and will award compensation for your lost ranked points if it determines your game was thrown by a teammate. The website Intlist, which first appeared on February 23, allowed players to post bounties on throwers and cheaters, encouraging others to queue into the same lobbies as them and throw…
Ratcheteer DX is a faithful throwback to the golden days of The Legend of Zelda’s handheld games – that much is obvious simply by looking at footage from its wonderfully nostalgic, pixelated world – but the new retro-style adventure is now mimicking the series’ transition from GameBoy to GameBoy Color with its PC and Switch ports.For context, Ratcheteer DX was originally released simply as Ratcheteer on the Playdate, an endearing handheld console that boasts a novel crank and is still supported with brand new games made with an old-school twist. It also supports mostly black and white graphics, throwing it…
With Valheim 1.0 still in the works, spinning up a new studio feels like quite the choice, but that’s what these Iron Gate devs have done. My first thought when I saw Grip Jaw was ‘what the hell?’ I immediately recognized the studio’s lineup of devs, which include current Valheim creative director Robin Eyre, producer Andreas Tomasson, and head of business development Emilia Oscarsson. How, I asked, are the trio somehow working on a brand new Lethal Company-inspired game, as a brand new developer collective, while simultaneously pushing towards the hit survival game’s 1.0 launch? The pressure is already on:…
As was the case with its older sibling, Slay the Spire 2 won’t have microtransactions because the developers are self-proclaimed haters of real-money cosmetics and the like.Slay the Spire’s lead developer and studio Mega Crit’s co-founder Casey Yano all but confirms microtransactions will never worm their way into the hit roguelike in an interview with Destructoid. “We’re microtransaction haters,” he tells the site, “a lot of our players threaten to buy all and any cosmetics we may ever release.”As for why, Yano explains the team “really want players to experience all of the same content, as discussion of game content…
Sundays are for celebrating the 800th-est ever Sunday Papers. Happy big 8-0-0, Sunday Papers. Here are four fun facts about the number 800, followed by some quality writing from the past week.
Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit is “totally blown away” by the immediate and colossal response to its long-awaited sequel, but it’s exactly what the team deserves. If there’s a ‘second coming’ for roguelike deckbuilders, StS 2 is it. The original is foundational to the genre, often imitated but never surpassed, and it’s still elevated as one of the best examples of the form eight years on from its early access launch. Seeing Slay the Spire 2 break the half-million concurrent player count on Steam is another massive win for indie games in 2026 after the success of Mewgenics,…
Despite a massive 2026 with Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Capcom has confirmed it’ll have more unannounced games releasing before next March.Capcom has been one of the most consistent publishers over the last decade, launching at least one big AAA release every year. However, this year is beyond even that. Even with Resident Evil Requiem releasing last week, we still have Monster Hunter Stories 3, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword to come from the company in 2026. Pragmata got a new April 17 release date as part of last…
MAR10, or “Mario Day,” is almost upon us, so now feels like the perfect time to celebrate the very best Super Mario merch. And considering how the intrepid plumber is now 40 years old, there’s plenty enough of it.Almost too much, actually. Because there’s a world’s worth of action figures, plushies, collectibles, and nick knacks based on the Mushroom Kingdom, the biggest Mario fans from GamesRadar+ HQ have rounded up their picks for the very best Super Mario merch. We’ve been fans of the franchise for our whole lives, and these are the goodies we’d want on our shelves -…
I had been told to expect great things from Granblue Fantasy: Relink. I was still surprised multiple times over the course of its campaign alone by just how much I loved it, and that’s only the start of a vast action game that extends its endgame out for essentially as many hours as you feel like investing in it. I’m naturally overjoyed that we’re getting a beefy expansion this summer, but don’t wait for Endless Ragnarok to come – what’s already here is more than worth your time. Building on a decade of lore from its browser-based JRPG sibling, Granblue…
