My biggest disappointment was Into the Breach. I really liked FTL, even though I always intended to spend even more time with it than I got around to. With Into the Breach, I can see how impressively ...

@wanlaghima: Compared to MGSV, Survive is more about repetition and min-maxing. The progression systems are the draw. The question is how much and how long you enjoy the grind. If you like the Fox Eng...

Is it really a problem to just skip all the cutscenes and play the game solely for the gameplay? Honest question. I'm a pretty gameplay-oriented player and I've done that before.

Artifact.The only multiplayer games I've played this year have been co-op games: Monster Hunter World, Metal Gear Survive, and Dragon's Crown Pro. I put around 100 hours into each of them, and I hope ...

One more significant upcoming game is Artifact on Nov 28. It'll be the first Valve game released in five and a half years.

The 3-boards idea actually originated with Richard Garfield, not the Dota IP. Garfield wanted to create a card game where winning a game was like winning a best of 3 series, hence playing 3 boards at ...

How do we know that there are webcams being involved here? The article at the top only mentions "live chat" with no further clarification. I read "chat" to mean text or voice and "live" to mean enable...

@bson: Normal is pretty easy. There's a higher difficulty mode called Draconian Quest, which comprises six independent difficulty options: stronger monsters, less XP from weak monsters, no purchasing ...

I think Artifact's monetization model sounds significantly more player-friendly and less expensive than Hearthstone's.Facts of comparison:Hearthstone's card packs, containing 5 cards each, at the maxi...

These are supposed to be irrational irritations, not perfectly reasonable and common ones!For me, I seethe with anger when a PC game bars the player from being able to expediently escape from an inter...

I've also got a spare years-old copy of FTL to contribute to the cause. Same rules: PM me your email and it's yours.

There sure are a lot of games coming out. The five September games I'm most looking forward to are:428: Shibuya ScrambleZeroRangerThe Bard's Tale IV: Barrow's DeepPathfinder: KingmakerInsomnia: The Ar...

The Giant Bomb review covers the story mode pretty well (3/5 stars). But I really enjoyed the ultimate challenge levels after the story. Your team has nearly maxed out capabilities at that point and t...

I really like the implications of the grappling hook: move around the arena faster, close gaps faster, kill demons faster, more freedom of vertical movement, pairing it with double jumps to string tog...

Trailer looks like crap, but the people/details behind this game sound potentially alright. It's essentially part of the team from Runic, who made Torchlight 1 & 2, plus even more veterans of Bliz...

Thanks for the heads-up. That was a good finals! It's been 6 years since I stopped following the GSL, so this was a fun opportunity to revisit it. StarCraft history in the making right there. WP, Serr...

Some more info via Ars Technica:When you buy the base game for $20, you receive 2 pre-made starter decks of 54 cards each (5 heroes, 9 items, 40 other cards), as well as 10 card packs (12 cards each)....
