DnD inspired roguelike Dice and Fold adds three new heroes in free pirate update

Combining DnD-style dungeon crawling with a wide range of classes and a roll-based combat system in the vein of Dicey Dungeons, turn-based roguelike Dice and Fold has brought me a lot of joy. Developer Tinymice Entertainment has found that perfect sweet spot, creating a card-battling game that brings sufficient strategy to keep me hooked on the numbers while also staying light enough that it’s an ideal accompaniment to watching something on your second monitor. Now, the fourth free content drop ...

Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 10 makes me wish it had Path of Exile’s ambition

Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 10 is underway, and that should be cause for celebration. The iconic ARPG built on Blizzard’s first outing and set the standard for basically every game that followed in its dungeon-crawling, loot-hauling footsteps. It might be a little clunky by modern standards, but there’s a special sauce to its brand of Sanctuary that still tastes sweet to this day. Despite going to the trouble of a full remaster, however, Blizzard has let D2 fall silent since the launch of Diablo...

Movement FPS Echo Point Nova goes roguelike as a free update adds new weapons

Echo Point Nova is easily one of the coolest FPS games I’ve ever played. Developed by Greylock Studio, who also brought us the excellent Severed Steel, it’s an open-world movement shooter designed for co-op that also happens to feature a hoverboard and grapple hook. It has a profound sense of scale, incredible pace, and some of the slickest mobility the genre has ever seen. If you yearn for the Titanfall 3 that might never come, this is easily the next next thing.

Apple's Smart Home Hub Now 'Postponed' Due to Delayed Siri Features

Apple has pushed back the launch of its rumored smart home hub due to delayed Siri features, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Gurman no longer expects the home hub to launch this month, but he has not provided a revised timeframe for the device's release. "At one point, the company had hoped to announce this product in March," he said, in his Power On newsletter today. "But because the device, to an extent, relies on the delayed Siri capabilities, it has been postponed as well." In the mean...

The mid-90s were an incredible period for the best JRPGs.

These are dreams I didn’t know I had until I learned about a mod that aimed to bring the idea to life, and now it’s finally here. So if you’ve been itching to get back to Stardew, or just want another way to romance Astarion, your prayers have been answered.
