Death Stranding is my all the favorite game, so I am very much looking forward to the sequel. Hopefully Sony won't try to drag it out as a PlayStation exclusive and it will quickly come to PC.

Civ VII is a solid game with excellent performance, few if any significant bugs, and Civilization's classic "Just one more turn!" addictiveness, so what we're seeing in this roadmap is mainly just polishing and expanding what's already there. People hoping to see significant changes or who unrealistically expect Firaxis to remove core features around which the entire game is designed are, of course, going to be disappointed.

WB close F.E.A.R. and Shadow of Mordor dev Monolith Productions and other studios

It's Suicide Squad's fault. That was supposed to be their cash cow, and when it failed, it took WB's game division down with it.

Also, patents for gameplay concepts is stupid. You shouldn't be able to patent something like the nemesis system.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure looks like a genuinely fun game.

It's a terrific game that's feature complete (ignore the naysayers claiming it's unfinished) and with no significant or game breaking bugs. I got stuck in the classic "Just one more turn!" loop last night and stayed up far later than I should have.

Also, it runs great on desktop Linux and the Steam Deck, although you have to link your Steam account to a 2K account and save your game to the Crossplay save tab if you want to pick up your game on another system. This means that going from PC to the Steam Deck, you'll need to start the game, load the Crossplay save, and then save it locally so you can play offline, and then repeat the process in reverse to continue your game on your PC. I wish it just used the Steam Cloud.

Civilization VII gets a mixed reception on Steam, Firaxis say they're listening and put up a small roadmap

The way some people are raging, you'd think Firaxis released something on par with the infamous Big Rigs, but in reality, Civilization VII is quite good and runs beautifully on Linux and the Steam Deck (no Proton! Native, baby!). Sure, there are some wrinkles that need to be ironed out, but it's hardly the disastrous launch that some people are making it out to be.
