Critic Reviews

CNET - Oscar Gonzalez - Unscored

I would have liked to see Mafia: The Old Country give me more to sink my teeth into. This is not about length, which comes in at around 12–15 hours to complete, but more about having some meat on the bone. If it’s about giving me a cinematic drama to play before me, then really give it to me instead of a very typical love story up until the last hour or so. My hopes were high for Mafia: The Old Country, and the game didn’t satisfy.

Mafia: The Old Country delivers …

From GOG and Steam

Step into the definitive re-release of two dark spell-casting shooters that shaped the genre.

Forged by Raven Software on a modified DOOM engine, Heretic and Hexen were released in 1994 and 1995, pushing first person shooters into bold new territory. These innovative cult classics introduced groundbreaking features like inventory systems, vertical aiming, and distinct character classes, reshaping first person action games for generations to come. This enhanced restoration makes Heretic Hexen available to new audiences and long-time fans with expanded accessibility across more platforms and languages than ever before. Whether you’re returning to these shadowy realms or discovering them for the first time, an epic legacy awaits.

Contains: Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders

Hexen: Beyond Heretic

Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel

Posting this from the r/steam thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1mkha72/russ_vought_is_behind_the_latest_push_threatening/

Russ Vought is directly connected to what has been happening in recent weeks — a global push for new restrictions that threaten anime, manga, and video games.

They want to dismantle Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which grants online platforms immunity from liability for what their users post. Removing this would shift responsibility from users to platform operators, using threats and financial regulatory pressure. The result: massive over-censorship, fewer online communities, and severe limits on creative expression.

This isn’t just about a few games — it affects all user-generated content, from fan art and mods to anime and manga discussion spaces.

Guntouchables is out and Free to Keep for the first 24hours

Most of you probably know that we’re also doing some publishing on the side, in addition to making Funny Dwarf Game. Normally, we wouldn’t post about it here, but today is a bit of a special case.

Today, we’re launching Guntouchables, a 1-4 player top-down Roguelike doomsday shooter, made by our friends over at Game Swing, and for the first 24 hours, the game is Free to Keep, which means if you claim it within the first 24 hours, it is yours to own until the actual apocalypse hits*.

If you follow the link to Steam and claim the game before Friday, August 8, 2025, at 10 AM CEST / 1 AM PDT (UTC+2), it’s YOURS to KEEP once reality hits and we make it cost something.

\and beyond, if possible)

Since valve don’t want to bring back the battlepass and they don’t want to make many events throughout the year, how about they give us 1 year long event where all of the previously paywalled skins can be earned through playing only then? If we’re not going to get regular content anymore then at least give new players and others the chance to get the best cosmetics in the game ?

One of the best things about the battlepass was feeling like you have a voice in dota 2, bring that back.

Hello, I’m EDICH and I have been making Dota2 fan art for TI since TI7. And I just figured that I would collect all my TI fan arts so far just to have some retrospective along with my new submissions for this year. Also on a tangentially related note, I am also preparing a pubstomp for TI finals in Korea (for the 4th time!) so this has been the busy part of my year but also the most fun part of my year as well. Anyways hope you enjoy my drawings!

Is this AI or something? I almost spat out my drink when he said this.

I don’t think people realize the intersection of mobas and hero shooters create a very diverse audience of players. I have had black friends who quit valorant because people made fun of them simply because they sounded “black.” I remember when ABL first said this slur a guy I was playing with said it was okay because they didn’t like Metro. This player implied it’s mainly white men that play deadlock so it’s just people being edgy. I then pointed out to them almost every game that night had a woman in the lobby on voice and that every few games there was probably a black player in voice. This game does not have the audience to be intentionally alienating subsets of gamers if it wants to survive. There is a lot of black players who play league of legends, overwatch, valorant, marvel rivals who will likely give this game another try in open beta. The same can be said for women gamers. Please treat people with …

It’s crazy to me how many comments I see about “low player counts”. this is from this morning. Some of yall have no idea what low player counts really are, weekends we get peaks of 15k players while not insane for a closed beta invite only game with no monetization it’s actually crazy.

I hate people thinking that if 50k players aren’t on at all times the game is “dead”

As a woman I often hesitate to hop on the mic. I’ve played other online multi player games and been harassed as soon as I said anything but I’ve only had one or two negative experiences in this game! So thanks everyone for being chill!

I don’t rlly like the orange hat in viscous’ redesign leak, so I made some quick color alts. Which do you like best? Am I bad and wrong and orange is the best? Idk I like the yellow. Thxbye

Her voice just tingles in the right way

Most on here are probably aware, it’s a basic part of the game, but it is shocking how many players don’t care about wave states.

Today I politely asked a McG in-game why they let the creep wave run past them and into our objective. They told me to shut the fuck up since the waves can wait a little. Then rambled on how low ranks are brain-dead and have no idea about the game.

Please don’t be like this McG. Shove the wave near you so that your own wave is running against opposing objectives and after that go jungle, farm safes etc.
