Baldur's Gate is over twenty years old, and while a sequel only took two years, the third game in the series is arriving sometime next year. Players can begin to participate in an Early Access version of Baldur's Gate III which features the game's first chapter, a lot of the core systems and characters, and best of all - online co-op play.
Given the isolated state the world has found itself in, there's been a lot of time to ponder things in 2020. Should you go back to college and get that degree you've always wanted? How many loaves of bread can one household eat in two weeks? And, most importantly, could you beat up all of your partner's exes?
Marvel's Avengers has finally arrived and it is equal parts fun/engaging and a buggy mess prone to crashing. We attempted to play through some of the co-op last night and, after nearly an hour, we finally managed to get all the way through a mission without the game crashing or some other bug cropping up. So... success?
We've had a mere seven months to come to grips with the unending Nazi hordes of Zombie Army 4: Dead War. After working through the core gameplay content and a whole season's worth of extras, I can only imagine that ZA4's playerbase is thoroughly exhausted. They'll need to find some way to push on, though, as developer Rebellion is proving to be as unrelenting as their undead antagonists.
Larian Studios delayed the early access portion of Baldur's Gate 3 back in July, but didn't give a new estimate on when we might finally get our hands on the game. Now today, during a 90 minute livestream showing new gameplay details, we have an answer.
It's been a while since we've gotten a full, numbered Serious Sam entry, and while the franchise's hordes of fans (Sammites? Samaritans?) have been very patient in waiting for the upcoming Serious Sam 4, they'll unfortunately have to hold on just a bit longer. As it turns out, developer Croteam no longer feels comfortable with the original August release date and, as such, have pushed the release to September 24th.
After playing the tutorial and a few missions, we weren't quite sure what to make of what we were seeing. Spitlings' first impression with the Co-Optimus crew was one of uncomfortableness and uncertainty. Why would someone make a game about spitting on things? What possessed someone to design these little spitting nightmare creatures? But soon as we piled together in an online co-op session of three - we started to feel more and more comfortable with our bodily fluid swapping co-op platforming...
Admit it, you love to spit. We all do. The act of spitting is a natural use of the human body, and plus, it's so multi-functional. What other action can simultaneously improve your oral hygiene and insult an umpire? Starting today, the folks over at Massive Miniteam have found yet another use for the beautiful motion, which is solving arcade-style puzzles in Spitlings.
This one came out of left field for me, as I had no idea there was a sequel in the making. But Orcs Must Die! 3 is out now...and it's a Google Stadia Exclusive for the time being. The sequel takes place 20 years after Orcs Must Die! 2, which was a fine example of a co-op tower defense game.
The upcoming Borderlands 3 has received a handy list of specs from developer Gearbox Software in the form of a single, easy to use snapshot of minimum specs as well as the optimal way to play their latest entry into the gun-heavy Borderlands series. With the game set to release across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via the Epic Games Store on September 13th, 2019, if you are playing on PC you may want to double check to make sure your trip into Pandora isn’t a bumpy one.
