The fact that Slay the Spire 2's Early Access debut plays so similarly to the groundbreaking original deckbuilding roguelike makes this one of the easiest recommendations I've ever given. If you never played it, you're missing out and should jump into its turn-based combat immediately if the concept is remotely appealing to you; if you've sunk 1,000-plus hours into the original like I have, the sequel's new character classes and extensive reworking of the founding trio make going up against its even tougher bosses feel refreshed and less predictable. On top of that, the novel co-op mode gives us a new way to play and share all the thrilling highs and tragic lows of a great run. It may not be the most ambitious sequel when it comes to reinvention, but this is an excellent reinvigoration of a brilliant game. After a week of playing, I've now clocked a little over 43 hours of Slay the Spire 2 and have completed full, three-act runs as each of its five classes – ...

Embark Studios CEO Patrick Söderlund says Arc Raiders now contains fewer AI voice lines than it did at launch after the team re-recorded some lines with real actors. Söderlund offered an update on the studio's views regarding artificial intelligence during an interview with GamesIndustry.biz . Among various updates that have brought new enemies, cosmetics, locations, and more, he says the team has already replaced some of its heavily criticized AI content with performances from real human beings. “We re-recorded some of the lines post-launch and made them with real voices," Söderlund said. “There is a quality difference. A real professional actor is better than AI; that's just how it is. We look at [AI] first and foremost as a production tool. We can test things internally. We can test 15 different lines without recording them, and then we know what to record. It's also a way for us to work, not replace actors. We don't necessarily believe in replacing humans...

CD Projekt has insisted it has “no plans” for further Cyberpunk 2077 DLCs or expansions amid reports the developer plans a secret DLC for The Witcher 3 . The Polish studio responded to one fan on social media , who cheekily asked the official Cyberpunk 2077 X / Twitter account when the game will get “secret new DLC.” “We have no plans for additional DLCs or expansions. If anything changes, we will inform you all!” was CD Projekt’s response. That sounds clear cut, and sparked a degree of disappointment from Cyberpunk 2077 fans who are still clamouring for more content despite the game being over five years old now. “So you're really gonna have us wait 5+ more years for any new Cyberpunk content,” said one person. “Come ooooooon, just a small expansion pleeeeeeease,” said another. “Now do the same with The Witcher account,” joked another. There are a few things we might take away from CD Projekt’s statement here. One, that it really doesn’t plan any more Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, w...

Pokémon Pokopia will soon get an update that addresses an array of issues and improvements, Nintendo has confirmed. Launched last week to huge success, Pokopia players are already creating blocky Pokémon paradises full of incredible creations — though a few users have gotten snagged by bugs along the way. Now, Nintendo has said it is aware of several issues — and listed a string of bugs and upcoming additions it has planned for Pokopia in the near future. Happily, Nintendo expects that its planned update will several progression blockers that are currently occurring in players' worlds, even if players have encountered them already (so no, hopefully you don't now need to start over). Other than bug fixes, there's no mention here of actual new content also coming to Pokémon Pokopia in future — but it is still early days. And it's worth remembering that the first in-game event " More Spores for Hoppip " is already now live, and set to run until March 25. ...
