And Starfield finally fell into mostly negative reviews – only 37% of recent players supported the game. For me the issue isn't just about loading screens, it was a bland and heartless project in terms of writing, voices, quests in general and even usage…
Yet another week and both overall and recent reviews fell again. It may eventually get into an overwhelmingly negative area: 10% lost since December 25, another 8% and it will get the new status.

Guardians of the Galaxy is free on Epic Store! The game is not following the movies timeline, so it worth trying even if you have seen them.

Fans made a free prequel to Portal 2. It took them 8 years to make about 40 new puzzles and several new mechanics.

♥️ Reviews are 94% positive!

Yet again #Unity is firing people, this time is the biggest: 25% of what's left after previous attempts (or about 1800 people by March of 2024).

Markets are accepting the change: share prices are growing. But will it truly help in the long run?

Isabela Merced joined the cast of TLOU Season 2 as Dina. Dina the Explorer! ☺️

PS. Her performance as Dora was memorable, as well as the recent Sweet Girl movie on Netflix.

I've seen this many times in #GameDesign — be very clear on what is a wrapper and what is a feature.

Old quests were bizarre but modern games can learn a lot from them:

Imagine one day that has three different solutions and outcomes that the majority of people will never see. It's insane attention to the details to build up motivations and write down all possible routes properly. Baldur's Gate 3 and Disco Elysium have the similar approach.

The creators of Risen, ELEX, and Gothic games are being silent for a few months in a row. Even the official website of Piranha Bytes is now a logo on a white page. Last November was the last podcast, where they promised to come back next week.

Since the studio is a part of THQ Nordic and Embracer Group, it may be a part of yet another economical measures.

ELEX 2, Risen, and Gothic were all memorable. The original ELEX and other games were at least worth trying. Let's hope that the studio isn't going to be shut down.

PS. Gothic Remastered is developed by another studio. And the page about ELEX 3 is gone from the German government co-funded projects list (yep, these games were supported by the state).

UPD: Based on the new data the government support is still active, but the codename has changed. The company is indeed facing certain upgrades, but not being shut down, apparently.
