For some reason I have never played Torchlight II long enough, but since some other diabloids clicked, I gave it another chance and oh boi — good stuff. A 2012 game that feels perfect even now.

Yes, there are two newer games but they are both mediocre at best and made by completely different teams, so.

Get Torchlight II on sale (or maybe you have it for ages the same as I did) and give it a go.

Someone made Dust 2 in World of Warcraft (replies from WoW and CS2 in the comments)

First they are like: The cube, Save us! The cube then like: nope, ain't gonna save ya!

The game has been released just a few weeks ago in March. And it will be down by May 8 including Discord server. For example, the discord of Highguard is still up and running.

And in a day Road to Vostok paid off for "years of development". The creator is extremely thankful for the community and promises to make the game even better.

At current rate of reviews it can be up to $500K of post tax revenue for mostly a solo developed game.

If anyone asks you about successful Godot Engine games: Buckshot Roulette, Slay the Spire 2, and Road to Vostok all made it to commercial success recently.

Just found one of my first 3D renders from probably 2006 when I was a huge fan of Last Exile and wanted something similar in a more grounded approach.

And since my PC was ready to explode if I tried 3D smoke, the smoke you see is actually a 2D edit made on top of 3D image.

It was originally rendered in fairly good quality but only this preview remained over the years.

Starfield has been released on PlayStation 5 and it's now one of the best selling games on the platform. And you know what? PS fanboys love it!

Sadly, even as a big fan of Skyrim and Fallout 4, I consider Starfield a form of torture and a crime against humanity. The fact that it sells well reminds us that there are no valuable games in this generation of consoles.
