Following the fast and psychedelic fingertip shooting of Into The Pit, developer Nullpointer Games are now slowing things down with their next project. The team shook together turn-based tactics, tower-defence elements, and a graphic novel style, and the resulting cocktail is Void Warden. See how it sort of works in the teaser below.

D&D rival Paizo has no plans to follow in its virtual tabletop footsteps with Pathfinder and Starfinder, says they’re prioritising ‘the VTTs our fans choose’

As reported by Dicebreaker, when asked whether Pathfinder and Starfinder would receive their own virtual tabletop (VTT) system, Paizo’s marketing director Aaron Shanks gave a matter-of-fact response: “No, not at this time.”

This answer arrives among the background radiation of One D&D—the still-unnamed, technically-not-a-new edition revamp to Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition ruleset—and the looming…

I play Diablo 4 and I feel nothing. I think this is good?

Now that Diablo 4’s new season has arrived, I thought I’d give the game another shot. So, in an evening spare of stuff to do, I booted the game up and created a druid called ANIMALS. After a few hours of pressing 1,3,2,4, in either the same pattern or different patterns, I’ve come to realise…

There’s a new Remnant 2 patch, which rolled out overnight, and it’s one that should make pretty much all players happy. Apart from the list of bug fixes (including progression blockers), and another set of performance optimisations, the main point of the update is to balance difficulty.

“We wanted something spicier”: how a successful job interview completely changed Riot’s Project L

Project L – like many games that go through a big R&D period – has endured some staggering changes. It didn’t even begin as League of Legends project, in fact. Its life outside of Riot Games began as robot rumbler, Rising Thunder, whose developer (Radiant Games) would be aquired by Riot Games in 2016.

Welcome to the Best Games Ever show Episode 64: The best game you love despite itself.
