Destiny 2 Game Director "Confident" That Sunsetting Will Improve, Even Though Everyone Hates It
Yesterday, Luke Smith had a hot take in an interview with Polygon when he said he’d love to remaster Destiny 2’s subclasses using the new Fragment and Aspect system introduced in Beyond Light, but that he’d want those subclasses to include an “edited list” of supers. Nova Warp was mentioned as one of the possible […]
Why Hades is Polygon’s game of the year
It’s impossible for a video game to provide “something for everyone.” Hades comes close. Even somebody who doesn’t like Hades as a complete package would likely find some element that speaks to them. All of those individual pieces also manage to cohere into a confident, fully realized game that has skills to teach you and […]
Game Devs Are Real People – You Can’t Send Them Death Threats Just Because You’re An Overgrown Toddler
Every day I become increasingly astonished by how ignorant some very selfish people are of their very harmful actions.

I suppose one way to surprise people with a Game of the Year award is to give it to a game that isn’t even announced yet. Kicking things off at The Game Awards this year, Devolver “CEO” Nina Struthers took to the stage to announce that Loop Hero would be receiving the hilariously titled “Devolver […]
"To Make A Game About The Intimacy Of A Couple Was At The Heart Of The Project," Says Haven Developer
Not many games have centered their narrative around intimacy. Sure, there are love stories, but intimacy between two people as the central crux is pretty rare. Haven by The Game Bakers aims to change that notion by focussing on the moments shared between the game’s two protagonists. Haven creator Emeric Thoa spoke to GOG.com about […]
The Corridor Is A New Game Where You Literally Just Walk Down A Corridor – And Press A Button
As games get bigger and more complicated, someone has created one that requires you to do nothing more than walk down a corridor and press a button. It’s starting to feel a little like the days of sitting down and playing a game from start to finish in one fun-filled night are a thing of the […]
A Long Lost Superman Game For PS1 Has Been Released
Many of you might remember an N64 game called, appropriately, Superman 64. It was made by French games publisher/developer Titus Interactive, and it was an almost unmitigated disaster.
