Europa Universalis 5’s ‘biggest update yet’ expands the Balkans, overhauls the economy, and fixes more than 2,000 bugs

Paradox Interactive has rolled out its “biggest update yet” for Europa Universalis 5. This is a slightly cheeky way to phrase things, considering this is only the second major update for Paradox’ latest, dizzyingly complex grand strategy. But it’s also accurate. With patch notes that Paradox claims would fill 72 pages of a Google doc,…

Reggie Fils-Aimé’s Amazon story says a lot about Nintendo

Reggie Fils-Aimé has been at it again. The big bruiser of an executive was boss of Nintendo of America from 2006 to 2019, and became the unlikely face of Nintendo for a spell thanks to his prowling, confident, meme-ready presentations at E3.

What Are You Playing This Weekend? (9th May)

Ollie Reynolds, Reviews Editor I’ve been playing some inKONBINI recently, and it’s really lovely, if a touch janky on Switch 2. I’m finding it incredibly relaxing, so I’d love to put more time into it this weekend. Otherwise, I finally picked up Melty Blood: Type Lumina on the Switch, and it’s an absolutely killer fighting…

Nobody believes Blizzard meant to give Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred players a 900% gold boost, but that hasn’t stopped them from exploiting it until someone sticks a decimal point in there

Diablo 4 has had its fair share of bugs that players have gleefully exploited. If it’s not some item that gives you the power to deal infinite damage, it’s a dungeon dropping too much loot. Diablo is a complicated videogame; unforeseen interactions are kind of inevitable. But that’s not how I’d describe the latest thing…
