Once again it appears that Pocketpair appears to be going after a bit of Pokemon’s pie, this time of the card game variety. Where the latter’s started life as a physical medium, the former’s attempt at such a thing, literally just called Palworld Official Card Game, announced today, looks to be of the digital-only variety, though what there is to learn about it is a touch slim overall. There is a small teaser trailer to bear witness to, but to be honest that barely shows off the cards itself. You will see in the opening shot a card…

Acknowledging just how popular Baldur’s Gate 3 is on Valve’s handheld, the company now confirms “we will do our best to again release on the platform.” It’s not quite a nailed-on certainty that Divinity Steam Deck support is incoming, but it’s good to know that it’s already on Larian’s mind. Recently taking to Reddit to conduct a wide-ranging AMA on all things Divinity, the Larian Studios team answered questions on the use of AI in Divinity, the technical limitations that came about…
GOG is under new(ish) ownership, as CD Projekt co-founder Michał Kiciński has bought back the digital PC game store from his old company. While there’s a change in management, it seems there won’t be a change in philosophy, as Kiciński insists the platform’s anti-DRM policy isn’t changing on his watch.”This is a core value of GOG, and there’s no signs that it might die in any visible future,” Kiciński tells GamesIndustry.biz. “This is not only an ethical value, but it’s also very pragmatic. It helps people to enjoy games no matter what happens with the software provided by the platform…
Lighting up my fifteenth cigarette of the hour and adjusting my fedora, I slipped the mysterious code into the box. A collection of numbers and letters designed to provide early access to the demo of a detective game. It was a hot tip from a public relations person on behalf of developers Lost Cabinet Games. That wasn’t suspicious. Well, assuming the missing furniture is metaphorical rather than literal.
There are several games that defined my childhood, most of which are high fantasy. There was, of course, Dragon Age: Origins, then its sequel and Inquisition after that, as well as Lionhead’s Fable, perhaps my favorite childhood RPG. But before all of that there was Black and White, a strategy series most wouldn’t associate with me, but one that I played the heck out of on my dusty old family PC. With Lionhead gone, it felt like the B&W days would be confined to history – at least the Fable 4 release date is set for this year, I suppose.…

Isn’t it funny that we don’t have a definitive reason as to why we dream? We have ideas, theories, like that they’re the brain moving memories from short-term to long-term storage. But why the hell can they get so weird? And worse, scary. This feels like the central question at the heart of Mama’s Sleeping Angels, an upcoming Lethal Company-esque procedurally generated dream-exploration game where you’re having a sleepover with friends and must feed a goddess within her dream. The core “friendslop” structure is still in Mama’s Sleeping Angels somewhere amongst the effervescent dream/nightmarescape. You can play by…
