Why Early Access is a particularly good time to play Hades

Release the evil Hadesfeels alive in a way that previous Supergiant games have not.Bastion,Transistor, andPyrewere all created and released to the world;Hades, however, continues construction. Instead of creating a world to be released all at once, they’ve been actively developing it along the way via Early Access. Supergiant has been using the inclusion of mechanics, features, and entire characters as building blocks for narrative exposition, and it pays off in a way that a single official release could not....

A little word of warning When Nintendo debuted amiibo at E3 this year, the company noted the figures shown during its initial presentation weren’t final. They looked amazing, a little too good to be true. Well,Joystiqrecently got a look at the finished products, and, sure enough, there’s a disparity between the initial prototypes (which retailers continue to advertise) and what will actually be hitting shelves next month alongsideSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U....

Arrowhead, I am begging you to give us more variety in Helldivers 2’s soundtrack

Since it was released in February 2024, I’ve played dozens of hours ofHelldivers 2alongside its phenomenal community. The gameplay feels fantastic and, thanks to regular updates and Major Orders, is improving all the time as itsstory grows more intriguing. The only problem is that it really only has one great song, and it’s a little overdone. Recently, while I was annihilating hundreds of Terminids in the name of managed democracy, I thought to myself how many other games have variations on their main themes or just different songs that are played at specific moments or randomized to keep hub areas interesting....

Destructoid Interview: Riot Games on DotA trademark & LoL

[Editor’s Note:At the time of this article’s publishing, no genre term had solidified for the DotA style games yet. The “MOBA” term was around but disputed, and in the past few years it has gained some acceptance, but Dota 2 simply refers to the genre as Dota. The only thing that’s certain all these years later is that no matter what you call these types of games, they’re still growing in popularity after a decade of obsession, and are certainly here to stay....

Doctor Who has everything in the right place, but still feels disjointed

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a fan ofDoctor Who. It was a staple of Saturday nights growing up, when I’d be on the edge of my seat taking in old reruns, and I have been watching the latest generation since it began in 2005. However, season 14 feels alien, and not in the usualDoctor Whokind of way. It’s not because of Ncuti Gatwa or Millie Gibson, that much I can be certain of....
