  19-03-2025 21:56 via gamesradar.com
  
  Back in August last year, we learned that Balatro would be getting its "first major gameplay update" in 2025. After seven months without meaningful news on that update, you might be growing worried about whether or not it's still on track for this year, but it seems plans have not yet changed."Next update: 2025," Wout van Halderen of Balatro publisher Playstack reconfirmed during a Q&A following his panel at the Game Developers Conference.

• Helldivers 2 director says "balance is a myth," and devs shouldn't spend more than 5% of their time on it: "If you balance out all the chaos, you've made an uninteresting game"

  19-03-2025 21:27 via gamesradar.com
  
  Helldivers 2 director Johan Pilestedt reckons game developers are spending too much time on balance and not enough time on fun.There's no doubt that balance is one of the most buzzed-about topics in live-service games, with titles like Diablo 4, Marvel Rivals,and Overwatch constantly pushing out patches largely dedicated to nerfs and buffs in an effort to make the experience as fair to all players as possible.However, Pilestedt argues that a perfectly balanced game is an illusion not worth chasi

• Monster Hunter Wilds beat Monster Hunter World, Capcom's previous defining mega-hit, by 40% in US launch month sales

  19-03-2025 19:59 via gamesradar.com
  
  Monster Hunter Wilds' first month sales are substantially higher than Monster Hunter World's from 2018, says a prominent industry analyst.We already have plenty of data we can point to as measures of Monster Hunter Wilds' success. Right around its launch, it beat out titans like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 with a peak concurrent player count of 1.3 million on Steam, and then it broke records as the first Capcom game to cross 8 million sales in just three days.

• Helldivers 2 boss told launch players not to buy until servers calmed down, and it "took 5 minutes until I got a call from the friendly people over at PlayStation asking what the f*** I was smoking"

  19-03-2025 19:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  You can partly attribute the success of Helldivers 2 to the relationship developer Arrowhead Game Studios has built with fans, who have greatly appreciated creative director and former CEO Johan Pilestedt's straight-talking attitude. But when Pilestedt suggested that cash-strapped players hold off on buying the game until the servers were stable, well, that talk was a little too straight for some of the folks at publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment.Around the time of the Helldivers 2 launch,

  One Steam expert claims devs will "know immediately" if their game "has the magic" to be a hit on Valve's digital storefront, but claims there's generally only a short window for a title to fly, because if they don't hit 250 reviews within their first month, "it's more than likely not gonna happen." Despite this, however, one singular game last year managed to be an exception to that rule.Speaking at a panel during GDC, game marketing consultant and strategist Chris Zukowski says devs will know

• With lots of loot and focused levels and missions, Soulslike RPG The First Berserker: Khazan is giving me all the right Nioh vibes: "Players aren't required to grind to farm for decent items and make progress"

  19-03-2025 18:28 via gamesradar.com
  
  The First Berserker: Khazan seems to be more inspired by Team Ninja than FromSoftware when it comes to loot and progression.The First Berserker: Khazan is a new soulslike game arriving later this month, and people have naturally been comparing it to FromSoftware's roster (namely Bloodborne and Sekiro). However, I've always thought it had more in common with Team Ninja's takes on the genre (specifically Nioh and Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin), based on the Steam Next Fest demo. And b

  "I'm sticking with you, 'cos I'm made out of glue..." so goes the lyrics to one of The Velvet Underground's most famous songs. It could also be the tagline for new darkly funny body horror Together, which sees Alison Brie and Dave Franco's happy-enough couple get themselves into quite the pickle, after they come into contact with a strange substance on a hike.We're reluctant to give away more of the film's plot than that, even though details have been floating around the internet since it premi

  If you ask me, Metaphor: ReFantazio was the best single-player game that was released last year, but thanks to a new mod, it could end up being one of this year's greatest multiplayer games, too.The latest JRPG from Persona 3, 4, and 5 director Katsura Hashino might feature some online functionality, but it's very minimal – it basically just gives you a window into other players' activities to see what they chose to do on a given day, or what level they were at the time.

  Majora's Mask is definitely a strong contender for being the hardest of all The Legend of Zelda games; its three-day timer mechanic relies on a massive amount of trial and error if you want to save all of the residents of Termina from the impending moon crash. And even then the combat isn't exactly a slouch (how much of that is due to being an early 3D game, I'll leave up to you). However, with a game as popular as Majora's Mask, the speedrunning records are getting way harder to beat, so it's n
