News - Darksiders Warmastered Edition gets Vulkan rendering, improved Steam Input support and more
By Dana Souly, 20 May 2026 at 9:56 pm UTC

I've already played it on Playstation, so i'm not gonna buy it again.
For Darksiders 2 however - I had softlocked myself somehow and lost interest afterwards because I was already 2/3 through the game.

News - Retro strategy games Krush Kill 'N Destroy 1 & 2 to get major updates with online play
By Jahimself, 20 May 2026 at 9:55 pm UTC

This has been my first online strategy game! Loved it a lot, then Age of empires 2 came out and I kinda forget about it, but always held a special place in my heart as a strategy game, really one of a kind that could have gotten more attention if the market wasn't overly saturated by other great titles! I miss this era tbh sometimes.

I guess it had not occurred to you that someone would be asking about this precisely because they don't know what the core design of Civ VII is like. Nobody ever talks about it, people only talk about the heresy aspects, so it's not obvious that there are other significant elements of core design.
I don't even know what he's asking any more. 🤣

Anachronox is one of those games I always wanted to get into, but never manager passed the first few minutes.

Squenix, now that you want to preserve games, why won't you bring Vagrant Story to PC? Or even better, do a remake.

Or I could have answered your question by pointing out the two most significant changes in the update: more freedom to play as the civilization you want, and the elimination of railroad-y legacy paths. In short, it retains the core design of Civ VII while adding a more traditional points-based victory system.
Which isn't really what my question asked, but hey. You know what? Nevermind.
Frankly, your question doesn't make any sense. Is Civ VII indistinguishable from Civ VI? Of course not, but neither is Civ VI indistinguishable from Civ V, and V is not indistinguishable from IV, and so on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can we just... move on? Please?

Just to nitpick, rather than "flock" I think it would be either "herd" or "scene". As in, I've seen a herd of unicorns, or, I've heard a scene of unicorns. 😁

Quoting: Mountain ManWhat kind of nonsense question is that? If you want a Civ game that is indistinguishable from VI then just play VI.
The question was (obviously?) meant to ask if there interesting new features OTHER than the forced civ changing that would make VII stand out in some way from VI. In the way that would make it worth getting it now. Because, as you so thoughtfully pointed out, I can always play VI, if I want to play VI.

But hey, you can also always opt to just be rude about it.

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: KimyrielleThe obvious question is - since this (IMHO) horrible forced change of civs was the anchor-feature of the entire game... is Civ VII now indistinguishable from Civ VI?
What kind of nonsense question is that?
A fairly simple one, I would have thought. To put it a different way, were there any features of Civ VII other than the civilization-switching, that distinguished it from earlier Civilization games enough to make it worth buying if you already have Civ V and Civ VI?

I also wonder this, since I do have those other games and haven't seen a lot of people saying much about what VII is like as a game and it's kind of expensive, even with a discount right now.

What's that? Old game getting updates? Updates not breaking the games in any way, or removing content? Even better, the update *improve* things?

And it's coming from Square?

I mean, it feels like I've just seen a flock of unicorns. I'm not saying this in a bad way though, it's *very* welcome. We've just been used to looking for the stick that usually comes with the carrot, but I'll take a stick-free experience when I'm presented with one.

And in this case they've kept up the older version in an opt-in Steam Beta too, best of all worlds.
Doing it the right way too! Keeping support for the legacy and retro gamers.

News - Forza Horizon 6 is out, Valve update Proton Hotfix for Linux - initial thoughts
By banthornuz, 20 May 2026 at 6:31 pm UTC

Quoting: Max CoronelPlayed for about 4 hours. The game is running way better than expected (as long RT is turned on).
No black screen, no audio issues, no crashes or visual glitches son far. It just works.
It's far from perfect though. Some hickups here and there, and overall performance could be better.
Mine is running well with the exception that if I turn RT on it crashes so it’s surprising to me that you’re experiencing the opposite.

So the rumors that Warhorse might be working on a LotR RPG cannot yet be debunked :-).

What kind of nonsense question is that? If you want a Civ game that is indistinguishable from VI then just play VI.

The two most significant changes in this update are: 1) You can pick any civilization to play as from the start and elect to continue playing as that civilization across age transitions; and 2) No more legacy paths that force the player to complete the same objectives in the same order to win.

These two changes on their own open Civ VII up to a wide variety of new play styles and strategies.

Ah, Daikatana, truly one of the classics of all time. The Gameboy version was pretty good, though.
