This looks really satisfying, and just two days ago, I was tempted by this, but ended up going for Emberward instead, based on the reviews. Definitely also worth checking out. But you know my TD-addiction. I'll probably get Gnomes before long too!

I suspect a lot of these fixes might be for something else, something broader, but are known to affect a specific title, so they include it.

Was keen to try to Atomfall, but not only does it use Denuvo, but it's a Rebellion title, a publisher renowned for never, ever removing Denuvo from their titles. Otherwise, I'd have picked up various Sniper Elite games over the years. I'm also missing out on Strange Brigade, and various 2000AD-related games (I used to read the comics back in the day).

It's a shame they're so short-sighted.

I remember falling out with someone on GOL because I wrote an article suggesting that the Linux experience wasn't great. It's such a shame that so little attention has been paid to Linux VR, not to mention how little is paid to VR even generally. When it's working, VR is such an incredible experience though. I hope the next generation is actually a decent improvement in quality of life features, along with, ideally, making it more affordable overall, or at least addressing some of the existing pain points, like the weight of the headset, or the need (in the case of the Index) for lighthouses.

Bullet heaven? Survivor-likes? Auto-attacking roguelite?

They'll always be "horde-survival" games to me.

The graphics in this one look pretty sweet. Lots of charm in the upgrade screens too, pretty impressive!

Yep, can't wait for this one. Still sad about Inkbound being wrapped up, but will insta-buy this based on both MT1 and Inkbound. These Devs are superb.

UBI have been falling off a cliff since early 2021 - 4 years of continual decline. They're now trading at well below pre-2016 boom levels. I don't see how this cash injection is meant to create a 4x situation though. Particularly since they're only focusing on three well-established and done-to-death IPs (AssCreed, Clancy and Far Cry). Weird.

I really enjoyed my time in this game, but sadly, it's never really recovered from being released too early. The 15K players dropped to 1K within 3 months and it's been hovering around the 500-1000 mark ever since.

I had 25 or so very enjoyable hours though, late last year, so it's still alive-enough. Just not teeming with players the way it probably should be.

I really hope they add the polish it needs to properly shine and steal some players back.

If one good thing comes from the probable "enshittification" of Discord. Please let it be that IRC makes a strong comeback for chat.

Never gonna happen. Discord became popular because IRC is baffling and archaic to most people. I'd love to see the rise of a truly open-source voice alternative though that isn't also baffling to set up. I tried Teamspeak about 10 years ago and holy shit the options... and despite everything, I only ever got terrible voice quality. Discord was a revelation when it launched. It's just a shame that it's neither open-source, or improved in any meaningful way since its launch. IPO may well kill it, tbh.
