Goblin Stone's demo is really rad. Play that and you'll know exactly what you're in for. Kinda Darkest Dungeon-y but instead of nonstop misery there's adorable goblins.

If you haven't yet, play the Shadowrun RPGs. Returns is skippable but Dragonfall and Hong Kong are incredible RPGs. And a pivotal story element in that setting's lore is GOBLINIZATION, which is why there's fantasy races and magic in the cyberpunk future. Harebrained Schemes' next game, Battletech, is more XCOM-with-mechs strategy-oriented but has a really powerful story, too.

This really sucks, I hope Jess & Jason land on their feet. GB won't be the same without them.

Really hate the way Fandom handled this. It's just so unfair.

I haven't kept up with HaloI (that's an i) since launch and now I feel caught up. Had a lot of fun with its multiplayer but a combination of bugs and its oppressive battle pass ultimately made me bounce off.

Great write up, gamer_152!

CRPGs (that is, the real-time with pause variety) are dead and buried. The most notable developer still trucking along with them is Owlcat Games, the Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous devs; every other one has either jettisoned the RTwP aspect (e.g. Baldur's Gate 3) or changed genres entirely (whatever that next Pillars of Eternity game is gonna be, looks kinda Skyrim-like so far). And even Owlcat's games offer an optional turn-based combat system.

I'm probably overlooking some indies out there, because as one might say it's never been a better time to be playing video games and pretty much every genre is getting something. But compared to other genres it's in a really tough spot right now.

There's an absolute embarassment of strategy and tactics games out there this year, even with a high-profile delay like Midnight Suns, or Baldur's Gate 3 being 2023. It's the sort of feast that was unimaginable just ten years ago. How times change.

But to single it down, Tactics Ogre is back so I dub thee the Year of Tactics. The Queen hath returned.

damn they went back in time and they fuckin' did it

Let's just stop that thought right there before someone takes your ridiculous gaffes seriously.

If you ever visit Giant Bomb during the middle of the night in North America you'll see the bots in action. Every night, all year long.

Always wondered why measures were never put in place to crack down on the spam problem.

I try not to speculate personally, but at the same time GB Premium is a service people are real paying money for. If it's changing people should be notified when it happens, not months later.
