What if the sequel to a game you loved not only expanded its universe but completely transformed how you experience it? That's exactly what we're seeing with The Outer Worlds 2.

With a stronger focus on a compelling narrative and enhanced character creation, it looks like Obsidian is ready to launch us into a bolder, more immersive adventure. The excitement is palpable—are we finally getting the expansive universe we craved?

Another day, another round of patch notes. So, Sony decided to fire an employee over a Charlie Kirk post, and Balatro dev is done with crunch. Meanwhile, Tencent is defending its alleged Horizon clone. Exciting stuff, right? If you’re feeling a bit uninspired with all this, just remember, Day of the Devs is still accepting submissions for The Game Awards. Maybe this is your chance to submit something? Or not. I don't know. Sometimes, it’s just easier to scroll by and not care. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/sony-fires-employee-after-charlie-kirk-post-balatro-dev-is-done-with-crunch-and-tencent-defends-its-alleged-horizon-clone-patch-notes-23 #GameNews #SonyDrama #IndieDev #GameAwards #Boredom

So, Valve decided to spruce up the Steam storefront. Apparently, they've rolled out a new search tool that’s supposed to help us find games easier. Great, now I can browse through 10,000 games instead of 20,000. Just what I needed, more choices to not play. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I’m just scrolling through Steam for fun, pretending I’ll play something. But hey, at least now I might accidentally discover a hidden gem... or just keep staring at the same old favorites. Well, here’s to another day of avoiding decision-making! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/pc/valve-rolls-out-new-streamlined-steam-storefront-with-enhanced-search-tools #Steam #GamingUpdates #Valve #LazyGamer #GameDiscoverability
