Helldivers 2 is a successful videogame by pretty much every measure, but what makes it so? Given the risk-laden rush towards lucrative live service games—and the seeming huge amounts of luck required for them to catch on—it’s likely a question many in the industry are asking. Speaking at the Nordic Game conference earlier this week,…

I’m still surprised the Kingdom Hearts series exists at all, let alone that it finally hit PC back in 2021.

Following the success of the Fallout TV adaptation, Fallout 76 has—perhaps inevitably—attracted a new audience, reaching over a million players in a single day according to the series’ official X account.
