Perhaps what makesStardew Valleysuch a hit that keeps people coming back for more is the fact that it’s quite acozy game. Its pixelated visuals hearken back to the olden days of gaming, which goes in stark contrast to the usual AAA appeal of hyperrealistic visuals and gun-toting violence. So successful isStardew Valleythat, as of December 2024, the game has sold over 41 million copies worldwide since it launched back in 2016....
And animal products are more valuable After making it through the first full in-game year ofStardew Valley(20-something hours, real time), I have cooled on it enough that I can get back to managing a decent night’s rest. But things were looking spotty for a while there. I was obsessed! And there are still whole sections and mechanics I’ve barely touched (namely, anything to do with relationships) since I’ve been so focused on raising animals....
Shooty, shooty, pow, pow Happy Tuesday! I hope all of you had an awesome New Years and I want to be the first to welcome you back to Team Fortress 2sdays! Since it’s the start of a new year, we may have some people here who are unfamiliar with TF2sdays, everything you need to know is listed below. TF2days is a community run event that happens each Tuesday evening (there’s both an early and late game)....
For fans of Brandon Sanderson’sThe Stormlight Archive, the fifth book in the series—Wind and Truth—marks an important place in the saga, serving as the conclusion to its first story arc. So, be you a long-time reader or have only recently been getting into the series, here’s a run down ofWind and Truth‘s release date, how you can pre-order it, and how you can read an early glimpse of it. What is the release date forWind and Truth?...
Not your average point-and-click I’ll go out on a limb here and suggest that we’re not going to feel good about ourselves after playing Deconstructeam’s point-and-click thrillerGods Will Be Watching. The game is out July 24 forWindows, Mac, and Linuxon Steam, Humble, and GOG.com for $9.99, with a collector’s edition selling for $19.99 that includes the soundtrack, a digital art book, and comic. Gods Will be Watchingis centered around moral dilemmas and “there’s no good or evil, just decisions....
Part of this college breakfast Popeyewas the best thing to ever happen to spinach, and all it had to do was imply that eating a can would let you punch a train. Why did no other vegetable consider this? Children and adults alike would love to be just like their favorite village brawler. Why do processed meat sticks get the Macho Man’s elbow drop of approval but not bok choy?...
Don’t expect Valve Corporation to takeLeft 4 Dead 2to Sony’s videogame console. In a recent interview withGTTV, Valve managing director Gabe Newell dismissed any and all PS3-related rumors when asked by host Geoff Keighley if the studio was trying to understand or learn how to tackle the shiny black hardware. “Uh, no. Not in any real way,” Newell says. At least once a month we hear someone from Valve dismissing the hardware....
Post-apocalyptic adventure ready for your pre-orders Wadjet Eye has established themselves as one of the best things going for adventure games these days, with titles likeResonanceandGemini Rueturning out damn fine. Their newest romp,Primordia, has me pretty excited, being set in a world that consists of the broken remains man left behind. Nothing like a good apocalypse to get the blood pumping. Anyway, Wadjet Eye is expecting to release Primordia on December 5th....
I don’t think that’s how astronomy works I kept coming back to theWe Are the Dwarves!email that was sent in to Destructoid a few days ago. On the one hand, it isn’t especially clear what kind of game it is or how it plays. TheSteam Greenlight pagelists action, adventure, and strategy under its genres, so it could really be anything. The trailer shows some enemy-slicing combat, but it doesn’t look like in-game action....
There can be more than one big aRPG I can’t say enough good things aboutPath of Exile. While I loveDiablo 3in its own way,Exilereally is a successor toDiablo IIand has won over a ton of fans since its 2013 launch. It’s not only stuck to itsactualfree-to-play system, it’s also innovated and consistently provided free updates year after year. Developer Grinding Gear Games’ audience only further increased when it debuted on Xbox One last year, and now that the [possible token timed exclusivity] is up, it’s coming to PS4....
I think one of the most unappetizing games I could think of would beBoogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure(Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points).But that’s not going to stop Nintendo from allowing its release on the week of the American Thanksgiving holiday, a day which we shall feast upon the carcass of a bird and indulge in sweet yams and intoxicated family. And now digital boogers. Fabulous. WiiWare also sees updates, the first of which isBoingz(RealArcade, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points), acurious little gamethat appears to have you controlling condom aliens....
From the makers of Need for Speed: Shift World of Speedis a racing MMO that sets to accomplish a goal that no other racer has been truly successful with so far: making racers cooperate with each other. Slightly Mad Studios has 10 years in the racing game business under their belts, with games like theNeed for Speed: Shifttitles,Project CARS, andGTR2, but they say they’re looking at other game genres for inspiration, including online first-person shooters....
A new lease on life GOG has come through for fans of classic PC games time and time again, and today marks the arrival ofsomething special: the digital release of Westwood’s 1997 point-and-click adventureBlade Runner. This revitalization was made possible by GOG, ScummVM, and Alcon Interactive Group. They not only untangled the rights (a feat in and of itself for an old movie tie-in game), but got the thing running reliably on modern computers....
