The Last of Us: Escape the Dark is an extremely rare thing for a board gamer like me. It's a videogame adaptation that manages to do something different, and it's a sequel to an existing game that meaningfully expands on the original mechanics. Not everyone will vibe with its luck-heavy cruelty, but as a lover of thematic and hard-hitting games, I'm a fan. Read the rest of the story...

What do you feed to Dreamlight Valley Baby Dragons? The roster of cute Dreamlight Valley companions is growing thanks to the addition of expansion packs. The first, A Rift in Time, gave us monkeys, cobras, and capybaras. The newest, meanwhile, adds Pegasus critters that look just like baby Hercules' iconic companion, and Baby Dragons. Until now, it's been somewhat easy to figure out what food the Dreamlight Valley critters like to eat with some trial and error in the life sim. It's not as simple with Baby Dragons, though, as they don't eat what you and I would consider food - they are magical creatures, after all. No, you'll have to part with something a little more valuable when it comes to feeding these adorable Dreamlight Valley animals, but it's worth it when you can make one your companion.

Stalker 2 has released, the long-awaited sequel to a PC classic that our own Joshua Wolens found "is still Stalker, down to its bones."

2007's Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl was one of my first steps into the world of survival games. It was a stark contrast to most other games I was playing at the time, representing not some power fantasy about being a nigh-indestructible badass but instead a cold and indifferent world where I was fragile and weak. I never felt like a glorious hero. *****, I didn't even feel like the main character. Stalker was exciting because it simulated me as just another guy who could be *******—imagine this—by a single bullet... Read more.View the full article

Overwatch 2’s newest tank has finally arrived. Hazard is the 13th frontline hero to join the roster, and he’s an incredibly fun one with a kit that fans of ***** compositions will enjoy.

Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have been voluble lately about potentially adding elements from other sci-fi worlds to the shooter, with chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt rubbing his hands gleefully at the prospect of partnerships with Warhammer, Alien, the Fifth Element, and more besides. Speaking at the G-STAR Conference in Busan earlier this month, recently appointed chief executive officer Shams Jorjani confirmed that Arrowhead are looking into such collaborations, giving the example of refitting your dropship to look like one of Halo's Pelicans, or introducing the Zerg from Blizzard's Starcraft as an ****** faction. Jorjani cautioned listeners, however, that these injections of third-party DNA need to look and feel appropriate to the setting. After all, if you start fecklessly chucking the Zerg, Chaos Space Marines or Fifth Element's, er, flying taxis into Helldivers 2, it might spoil the meticulous coherency of a game in which saluting protects you against lethal falls and some guy called Joel is running the universe. The funny part is that according to Jorjani, Arrowhead once envisaged a system that would get round the problem of inconsistency by essentially making third-party cosmetics, including whole map skins, visible only to players who have them enabled. To put that another way, Arrowhead once envisaged a system in which individual Helldivers would hallucinate other licenses. Read more View the full article
