Massively Overpowered

Not much has happened in AQ3D's cemetery (wait, isn't that a good thing?!?). Until now. The latest update brings in Lady Phimion, who is also known as The Wandering Light, to cleanse the cemetery of a secretive group of necromancer wannabes affiliated with the Cult of Mortis. Massively OP's MJ will assist Lady Phimion in wiping out those death...

For some reason we keep letting games enter early access, and this week saw two more hit that stage of release, with both Age of Water and Bellwright moving access to the "early" column. Before you jump into the latter, please be reminded that the developers  all but abandoned their last early access game, so that may be helpful...

Stardew Valley isn't quite finished perfecting its cozy life sim world. This past week saw the release of Patch 1.6.4, and as usual, the devs crammed in plenty of new things to do and see in this pocket-sized universe. Among the offerings with this update include 40 new mine layouts, the introduction of something called "fish frenzies," an additional cutscenes,...

The multiplayer PvP-focused medieval brawler Mordhau doesn't often hit our news desk except when it's promising to fight toxicity or when modders transform the title wholesale, but it's been going on for five years running, which means developer Triternion is going to celebrate by unleashing demons on its playerbase. The digital kind, not literal ones; the studio has presumably...

Organizers announced that the show...

We assure you, that headline wasn't generated by some LLM plagiarism dispenser; this was written by an actual human who is here to inform you fine readers that the Roblox game Piñata Smashlings is going to be clapping hands with the Care Bears for a crossover event. And yes, we're just as surprised that the Care Bears are still...

Deca Games' Realm of the Mad God is that game you forget exists until someone reminds you about it, then you go "oh YEAH" and find yourself temporarily captivated by how weird it is. If you don't recall, this is a top-down bullet hell rogue lite permadeath MMO that makes it fun to die and restart. Oh yeah. That is...

Join him today at 2:00 p.m. EDT as he first explores this new location! What: Nightingale Who: Chris Neal When: 2:00 p.m....

An expansion's release is generally a time to make some foundational shifts to a game, something that Destiny 2's The Final Shape appears to be doing with aplomb, as Bungie has outlined several updates to the way power works and its effects on various related gameplay elements. In a broad strokes sense, character power (aka gear score) will be normalized...

While MapleStory 2 has become a distant memory for many of us, the MapleStory franchise is still going strong in 2024. In fact, Nexon just launched a new version of the game in Korea that is quite unlike most MMORPGs on the market today.
