Nintendo is clamping down on emulation, causing sites like EmuParadise to cease doing business. The game industry hates emulation almost as much as contemporary piracy, so this is good news for executives.
It's just a shame that, in a world without emulators, the industry doesn't care at all about archival, or offering a service that could begin to compete with what ROMs were doing.

Dead Cells really is that good! A bit of Dark Souls, a bit of The Binding of Issac, a bit of a Metroidvania, but all Dead Cells.

God of War recently made $131 million in digital revenue. Octopath Traveler is struggling to meet physical demand. These are just two in a long line of successful story-driven games.
But please, game industry, tell me again how nobody wants 'em.

Well, this is a shame. I was looking forward to Titan Quest, but an already dated game with an already lacklustre port that can’t even run properly is barely worth a fiver, let alone forty bucks.

Remothered came out on Steam last year, but I never saw it because Steam is a trash heap. Now it's on consoles, and I played it.
Remothered: Tormented Fathers has a silly name, it's a silly game, but it's a charming survival horror nonetheless.

Two years on, and No Man's Sky is finally living up to a significant portion of its promise. It's not the first game to get a "Megapatch" and it won't be the last.
Games these days are thoroughly mutable, but that can be a bad thing as well as a good thing. Let's look at the things!

Time for one of our classic post-mortems. This time it's not about one game, but three games and the studio responsible for two of 'em.
The Culling II abandoned everything to pursue literally the wrong thing, while Boss Key Productions' Lawbreakers and Radical Heights were just... wow.

State of Decay 2 is fine only because State of Decay is fine. As a sequel, Undead Labs' retread is a letdown.

Everyone knows the Xbox One is a bit rubbish. Deep down, we all know it, and it's because Microsoft thinks too much like a publisher.

Xaviant should be thoroughly embarrassed. This desperate attempt to ape PUBG (they don't even have the chops to attempt cloning Fortnite) is beyond sad.

The Battle Pass is the new hotness in monetization thanks to Fortnite's popularization of it.
Before "AAA" publishers can sink their fangs into the latest scheme, games like PUBG and Paladins have shown them how to do it.
