I'm impatiently waiting for it to release. Better get used to that feeling I guess :)

Stardew Valley has managed to sell over 10 million copies - plus it's cheap right now

Too many hours on Steam; and another, unknown number on my phone. Worse, it seems you can get it to run on the Pinebook Pro (it's a C# application) - nowhere is safe...

Action-packed drone building game 'Nimbatus' has a huge update, we have 3 copies to give away

Me! I'm entering the giveaway! Granted, this is already on my wishlist, but it would still be nice to get it for nothing :)

Fantastic RTS 'Tooth and Tail' now lets you adjust campaign difficulty plus big sale

I got it when it was first released. Unfortunately I suck at RTS games so I got completely stuck around mission 7 or thereabouts. I haven't played it since. I might pick it up again, now that I know I can continue.

The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU has been announced and new Ryzen CPUs coming

6GB is plenty enough for gaming. Most game cards still ship with 4GB, and games are designed to stay within that limit. For GPGPU AMD is following NVIDIA in releasing separate cards for that use-case, but they won't be released during a consumer electronics event.

Bridge Constructor Portal is getting a Portal Proficiency DLC where you place the portals

I have the base game. It's polished and the Portal theme is cool, but I feel they partly missed the point of bridge construction games (especially compared to the original). There's no cost limit on your designs, and that pretty much means you can just pile on more and more stuff on screen until you "solve" the level. The challenge of completing the objective with a limited amount of building material is just not there. I played through about half the game without ever being challenged by a level. At that point I got too bored to continue.

Great concept, but I wish the gameplay had been more interesting.

If you'd buy one Tomb Raider, which one do you recommend?

Dota Underlords has another update out, this one changes the game quite a lot
21 Jul 2019 at 1:28 pm UTC

I seem to usually beat the birds after the new patch, but the dinos are impossible for me. They heal each other; you need units that can quickly bring down one with massive damage to have a chance.

I'm smuggler 3 right now, and I seems to have reached my skill level. Gain a rank, then lose it again. Still fun, though.

Dota Underlords gains a prototype Battle Pass in the latest Early Access update

Quoting: MisterPaytwickJust to be sure: it's only hats and cosmetics, right? I guess so, but I'm not playing enough Underlords to know.
So far it's things such as banners and a cooler win fireworks effect, and a different, brighter board design is coming soon.

I'm enjoying the game a lot, and the daily challenges are a good way to get yourself out of a rut; if they don't go the loot-box route I'll be happy to pay for a pass just to support it.
