My biggest problem with No Man's Sky in 2025 is that it's too good and won't stop getting better. What? Huh? Read my latest for #GamesRadar to find out what I mean: www.gamesradar.com/games/advent...

No Man's Sky's biggest problem in 2025 is being too good, and now I'm trapped in a vicious cycle

As the preeminent "Windows is a joke on handhelds" guy, I shouldn't be surprised to see that the ROG Xbox Ally X kinda just introduces new variations on all of the OS's problems instead of cleaning them up.

Ball x Pit is approachable, engaging, and may keep you playing for hours, mixing the brick-breaking of Arkanoid with roguelite runs and progression. It only takes one level to get why it's so fun. Read our full review. gameinformer.com/review/ball-...

Ball x Pit is the first major threat to Jason's free time since Vampire Survivors, delivering a clever and deeply satisfying roguelike. Here's our full impressions.

Still in Ball x Pit's early stages (though I plan to do a review at a later date), but I can confirm it's a banger so far. Feels like the most significant evolution of the survivors formula so far. This should be huge.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

Antonio, en 1952 aún existían las cartillas de racionamiento.
No podías comprar café, harina , azúcar, aceite de oliva, etc.
La mayoría de casas no tenían ni agua corriente ni luz, mucho menos saneamiento ( mi barrio no lo tuvo hasta 1970).

I've seen some people framing the "billionaires preparing for the apocalypse" thing as an "Oooh, what do they knowww?" situation, but historically, really self-important people have never imagined the world going on without them. They're so special that they must be there to witness its conclusion.

Necrosoft's Brandon Sheffield discusses the decision to delay Demonschool in order to avoid Hollow Knight: Silksong.

"I was on the side of staying, and the publisher was on the side of delaying. Ultimately, I think they were right."

www.gamesindustry.biz/silksong-rea...

"Silksong really did take over." Why shifting Demonschool's release date was essential

Necrosoft head Brandon Sheffield emphasises the importance of a successful launch in a crowded market. "If you're a single-player game, it's one and done"

Don't diss NIN, but yeah, I think kids don't care about any of the aesthetic and boomers and film nerds can't carry divisive IPs. This was cooked the moment Legacy did not perform great. We shouldn't be talking about a third Tron at all.

It increasingly feels like vaulting and sunsetting cooked this game in the long run, as good as the new exps. and stuff often are. Diehards don't have many reasons to engage sicko mode, and I get why.

Bangin' deal with hundreds of hours of content, so jump on it if you enjoy D2 or are curious, but Bungo needs saving, I'm afraid.
