In my eternal war against Diablo 4’s insanely priced and tragically well-designed cash shop cosmetics, I had to point out the latest example of the game going absolutely wild with its costs. With the launch of season 2 of the game, which is quite good from a gameplay perspective, Diablo 4 has also done one

I really did love the narrative of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 , particularly as the game progressed from Kraven into Venom, and specifically the moment of that transition. There was, however, one decision made that was pretty massive and pretty strange to shove entirely offscreen. You may not really have even understood it was happening. There
The past few years, we have seen a litany of “redemption” stories in the video game realm. Some view these as a symptom of corporate execs rushing unfinished games, others believe them to be inspirational stories of dev hard work. Or you know, both. This is happened with Fallout 76, No Man’s Sky and most
I’ve noticed a trend recently that would seem to be in line with the old “all big AAA games release as buggy messes” notion that gamers have had for a while. And yet as time goes on, I’m starting to believe maybe that’s a lot more inaccurate than all the frequently posted examples may suggest.
I am still trying to make up my mind on [Loki season 2](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/loki), as while it’s nice to see Mobius and Loki back, things are getting…a bit weird in episode 2 here.

Some rumors are bad (Naughty Dog remastering The Last of Us Part II ), some rumors are better, like this one, which claims that Sony Santa Monica may be working on a smaller adventure in the God of War universe. This came up in a recent conversation about “half-games” along the lines of Uncharted: Lost
There are now rumblings that Naughty Dog’s next project, in addition to its flailing Last of Us Factions multiplayer game, is a remaster of The Last of Us Part II. This was pulled from a LinkedIn profile of a Naughty Dog employee listing the remaster of the second game as part of his work history.
I figured I owed it to Redfall. I previously called it one of the worst AAA games I’d played in years after its disastrous launch back in May. And just this week I wondered if its promised future content would ever actually get made , given that its playercount on Steam routinely drops to…three players.
Cyberpunk 2077 has a unique visual identity, not just that it’s an FPS RPG, but in that the entire game is first person, including every single cutscene not really being a cutscene at all, but acted out in the game in first person, barring the final moments of a couple endings. This is of course
Cyberpunk 2077 development may now be fully over after the release of Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, but in the wake of that redemption arc, CDPR has just [announced ](https://press.cdprojektred.com/en/news/1453/cd-projekt-red-partners-with-anonymous-content-to-develop-live-action-project)that a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 project is in the works. The project will be made with Anonymous Content, who has produced shows like True Detective and
