The game’s early access went live in December, though players currently need to pay for it—and now they’re wondering if the title will ever become free to play. The first entry in the series is now a free-to-play experience, so logically, its sequel should follow the same route.

Some fires take longer to light than others. Way back in the thematically-appropriate year of 1984 an arcade game in an incredibly cool cabinet was released in tiny numbers, and hardly anyone recognized it as the future. I, Robot was the public's first look at real-time polygon graphics, and was a commercial failure despite being a great game. Speaking as someone old enough to have played it when it was new (Aladdin's Castle was just an all-around awesome arcade and one of my first stops when I get that time machine) it's hard to express how incredible I, Robot looked at the time, obviously far less detailed than the sprite-work in standard games but how on earth did it change perspective like that?

Magneto often gets overlooked in Marvel Rivals while comparing different tanks who do good damage in the game, but his output could be improved with a simple redesign or buff. In a Reddit discussion, Marvel Rivals players have been specifically talking about Magneto’s melee attacks and how they feel lackluster compared to other Vanguards in the game. Some point toward the attack’s “unintuitive hitbox” which makes it a bit unreliable in teamfights. View the full article

Many aspects of game development are variable and subjective, but there is one universal truth: games take ages to make. The average turnaround for a big-budget video game used to be four years, but lately that has grown to five, maybe even six years as games have ballooned in size, budget and visual complexity. Even for smaller indie projects, you're generally looking at two years as a minimum baseline, and I imagine there are a few exhausted indie devs who would roll their panda eyes at that...

Civilization 7 is out and developer Firaxis is already working to address its 'mixed' user review rating on Steam. But modders are also on the case, adding what they can to expand and iterate on the base experience. Hosted on the Civ Fanatics site, mods are already starting to pop up for Civilization 7. Many build on the base game or put extra modifiers on world effects. More Natural Wonders, for example, does exactly what it says, doubling the amount of Natural Wonders that spawn on each map size. Or, for those who don't want to meet the requirements to unlock certain civilizations, the Unlock all Civs mod undoes that particular constraint. While not exactly in the spirit of balance, the mods are nice tools to have if you're looking to tinker with the game. The most popular mod, judging by downloads, is Sukritact's Simple UI Adjustments, which makes "[quality of life] and aesthetic adjustments to the game's UI." The mod lets Diplomacy be initiated through the city banner, adjusts Plot Yield icons to be smaller on unimproved or unworked tiles, and adjusts the tooltips as well. The official Patch 1.01 for Civilization 7 has already begun to address some of these issues, taking aim at the user interface, AI, map variety, and other community complaints. It's the first in a "series of upcoming patches" from Firaxis, intent on addressing feedback from Civilization 7's advanced access *******. Yet modders are still honing in on everything from AI to fonts and lenses, and even the pause menu. While early quality-of-life updates are prominent, some mods are looking to future possibilites, like one that adds massive map sizes. It's still early days, but considering Civ's long history of eager mod support, it's likely we'll see more and more outside adjustments pop up alongside Firaxis' own efforts to fine-tune Civilization 7. In a recent interview with IGN, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the negative reviews, but said the "legacy Civ audience" will come around. "We think that as people play the game longer, the sentiment improves because with every launch of a new Civ, the team pushes the envelope a little bit and our legacy Civ audience is a little bit nervous about what they initially see and then they realize, wow, this is actually really incredible, and they dive in," Zelnick said.
