When I first saw isometric city builder Metropolis 1998 back in January, it shot to the top of my wishlist because it lets you design and decorate every single building in your town. That's awesome. It's also oozing with pixelated charm thanks to the chunky retro graphics, making it feel like a nostalgic throwback but with modern features.
Helldivers 2 got its biggest update in months today: the Escalation of Freedom patch adds a new highest difficulty (Level 10), a swamp planet biome, new enemy types, and missions. It's a great day to return to what is still easily my game of the year so far, but in the loudest corners of the Helldivers 2 community, conversation around today's update has been dominated by two bullet points in the patch notes. The fan-favorite flamethrower got nerfed, and the subreddit has gone nuclear over it:
After what could fairly be called a bumpy ride to the finish line, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is now just a month away from release, and that puts it close enough that we can finally lay our eyes on the official system requirements.
We've been hearing about the PC version of Final Fantasy 16 for months and months now—Square Enix has confirmed it's coming, but «when» has been the big question. Fans on Resetera and Reddit now think the answer might be soon, because the latest Nvidia driver update, released today, slipped in a GameReady profile for Final Fantasy 16.
I'm starting to think I made a mistake by missing the boat on playing Once Human. Because despite its shooter-focused facade, it sure seems like everyone is just spending all their time building houses in this free-to-play survival game. Dammit, I love building houses.
Surely the best kind of easter egg is one that gives the whole game away ahead of time, but which you'd never notice on your first time through. Baldur's Gate 3 does it with its music, BioShock did it with its revive system, and, hey, I guess Alan Wake 2 did it as well. Spoilers ahead for, you guessed it, Alan Wake 2.
The Flexispot E2Q is a lovely desk, which is why I'm quite sad I can't keep it entirely for myself. It's sturdy, easily adaptable, and I'm quite partial to its broad bamboo top. Unfortunately, I'm in the process of swapping offices with my partner, and I didn't properly account for the massive size that the E2Q lets you pick, which means that the desk—and its broad bamboo top—will have to remain in my old office when I move.
Balatro creator LocalThunk is determined to ensure his game will never find its way into the hands of gambling companies or casinos, so much so that he's had it explicitly written into his will.
