In Crimson Desert's latest update, you can pick up baby wyverns as pets, throw your fish in a pond, and shut those pesky outlaws up

Another day, another Crimson Desert patch. The devs behind the everything but the kitchen sink RPG, Pearl Abyss, seem deadset on somehow eventually including the sink too, as while this update is a small one, it continues to add yet more features, things to discover, a pet to own, and a good bit more besides.

"God is dead, and Heaven has gone corporate" in Grindset T.V., an overstimulating speedrunning game by way of Cruelty Squad

Cruelty Squad is quite quietly influential. It obviously isn't the first game to opt for visuals that look are debatably an affront to every sense you have and a few you don't, but its surprise level of popularity has bled into the design sensibilities of other indie devs in the years following. Games like Splatter and Dungeons of Blood and Dream certainly feel like they fit into a post-Cruelty Squad world with their ocularly maximalist approach to visuals, and now Grindset T.V. will be joinin

Say goodbye to birds and hello to dragons in Wyrmspan, a scalier take on beloved strategy card game Wingspan

Birds, as we all know, are dinosaurs. Yet there exists a higher being above birds that answer the question "what if dinosaurs really were birds?": dragons. I can only assume the exact same logic I've laid out here was used during the design process for the board game Wyrmspan, the dragon-oriented follow-up to the bird-focused strategy card game Wingspan. And now, much like Wingspan before it, Wyrmspan too is getting its own video game adaptation. Read more

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Deathwatch picks up where Daemonhunters' XCOM-ish gorefest left off

All roads lead to, and sometimes return to, XCOM. In this case, it's more of a return, as a sequel to Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters was announced this week, replacing its demonic subtitle with an equally gloriously edgy "Deathwatch." This one's apparently a direct sequel to Daemonhunters, now putting you in charge of the Imperium's "most elite alien-hunters," once again taking the form of a turn-based tactical RPG. Read more
