Be Warned! Diablo 4 Will Consume You

Hubert Sosnowski, 21 December 2022, 14:35

Matthias Pawlikowski, 28 October 2022, 14:46

Darius Matusiak, 24 October 2022, 11:13

Kristian Smoszna, 21 October 2022, 19:06

After spending a few hours with one of the most anticipated games of this year, I can say that it is going to be very good, but not phenomenal. God of War: Ragnarok is a safe sequel, offering more of the same thing.

Matthias Pawlikowski, 29 September 2022, 16:01

Kristian Smoszna, 12 September 2022, 18:17

Kristian Smoszna, 02 August 2022, 11:06

Matthias Pawlikowski, 27 July 2022, 16:29

After eight patches, Baldur’s Gate 3 is already a great RPG that suffices for dozens of hours. When recently playing the build, I was thrilled by the original depiction of goblins there, and I think they illustrate well why the direction taken by Larian is amazing.

Kristian Smoszna, 07 July 2022, 16:00

The „triple-play” segment will never die, but every year there seem to be fewer and fewer of them, especially the most high-profile ones. This is because studios need more and more capacity to „prove” a given title, and this in turn consumes time.
