New Games Releasing October 12, 2023: Star Trek: Infinite, Tribe: Primitive Builder, & More

Note that progression and galaxy events are scripted, but AI empires react based on things that happened inside the game. For example, I put a lot of resources in making friends with the Klingons and now we're in a defensive …

New Games Releasing October 13, 2023: Lords of the Fallen, RAILGRADE, & More

Lords of the Fallen looks interesting, but the Steam reviews say the PC port is in a very bad shape, so better wait for a while before considering buying it.

Quote From Crusader2010

Sad to hear it's mostly scripted. Might be a deal breaker for me.

I don't mind so much, because it feels like a necessary trade-off to make the lore work. For example, …

New Games Releasing October 12, 2023: Star Trek: Infinite, Tribe: Primitive Builder, & More

First impressions: base mechanics feel a lot like Stellaris, which is not surprising, as it uses the same engine. There is a more coherent story to it though: part of that is because there is a strong established lore, but …

I'll be playing Star Trek: Infinite. Will post my thoughts later. Could be a few hours though: this is not a fast-paced game.

Diablo IV is Blizzard's Second Game Coming to Steam - Arrives October 17 Alongside Season 2

If I understood the article correctly, you still need a Battle.Net account, but not the Battle.Net launcher.

Diablo IV is Blizzard's Second Game Coming to Steam - Arrives October 17 Alongside Season 2

Hearthstone would make sense, as having it pop up in "playing now" notifications of friends might remind potential new or returning players of its existence.

I guess all their games will make the move eventually: despite Overwatch 2's review …

Hearthstone's 27.4 Patch Contains the Fall of Ulduar Mini-Set, Battlegrounds Updates, and More!

The anomalies seems to be balanced: enough impact to matter, but not so big that it completely dominates the game. At least, that's my impression after reading them; we won't actually know until playing with them.

I expect the …

The Void Singularity

This one is pretty greedy, which was useful to out-greed my opponents. I only played 3 games so far, so not enough to really know how good it is, but it felt fine and is a lot of fun to …

The Void Singularity

Yes, this is one of the better ones and it was over 4 years ago that we last had it. As demonstrated by the fact that [card]Serpent Egg[/card], from Saviors of Uldum, is not banned because that set hadn't released …

The Void Singularity

In my games [card]Voodoo Doll[/card] was sometimes useful, but it getting pulled is not only a low roll on deathrattle synergy but also means you have less removal available. And you have less need for hard removal if your minion …

The Void Singularity

I tested [card]Creepy Painting[/card] and while it can get value from removal or trading, it seems all the deaths at the end of the turn are processed simultaneously, so it doesn't copy anything then.

The Void Singularity

All the old eggs are banned, but [card]Foul Egg[/card] and [card]Serpent Egg[/card] are not, so those are great additions to almost any deck. [card]Korrak the Bloodrager[/card] is very useful as well, since being crushed into a Void Singularity doesn't count …

Hearthstone's 27.2 Patch Brings in Battlegrounds Season 5, Standard Balance, Wild Buffs, New Wild Set, & More
Quote From dapperdog

As for the new caverns of time set, Im only in support of it if its free, but I highly doubt that its completely free. You'll need to open packs for the new cards Im …

Hearthstone's 27.2 Patch Brings in Battlegrounds Season 5, Standard Balance, Wild Buffs, New Wild Set, & More

Yeah, that's weird one. It's fun to see cards that never saw play or stopped being played long ago being buffed, but Kabal Crystal Runner is currently being played. Not only that, it's a prime example of mana cheating feeling …

Hearthstone TITANS Launches Today - Here's Everything You Need to Know

The "in one transaction" part is new: previously it would do a transaction for every pack you bought, which especially on launch day adds a noticeable delay (like half a second per pack) as a lot of people are buying …

Hearthstone's New Beta Twist Format to Shut Down on August 1 - Returns at a Later Date

My guess would be that the surprise is an event with pack rewards, based on:

  • timing: the Ulduar Grand Championship event will run from August 3rd to 22nd, which means that in September they'll have space for another …

Blizzard to Bring a Selection of Games to Valve's Steam Service Starting With Overwatch 2

Launching games is actually one of the areas where old consoles did better than modern systems: you find the right cartridge, insert it, power on the console and the game boots. You didn't have to deal with installation, managing disk …
