I wish more people were talking about Ninja Gaiden 4 online because I think it's one of the best games of the year. Sure, it feels more Platinum than Team Ninja, but it's probably my favorite character action game I've played since DMC5.

This was an early highlight of the year. Definitely worth the price of admission.
South of Midnight is still 25% off, but only for the next 5 days. And if you’ve ever wanted to dive into (or revisit) the world of We Happy Few, the entire franchise is 75% off until October 6th.
Don’t miss it! 🍂

Pretty wild that we got a new Ninja Gaiden and a new Shinobi within a month of each other. Even crazier that they're both great.

This is a really cool feature on @moxfield.com. I've got @scryfall.com open in another window, and can drag card images over to Moxfield to add them to my deck. It even uses the same printing/art, so gathering cards for my Rebecca Guay deck is a breeze.

Color me delightfully surprised to see that after 9 years, the OST to Tyranny from Obsidian is available to stream today 😮
Of all the things to wake up to this morning, this would not have been my first guess!

Incredible this game is getting more support this year! It's one of my favorite CRPGS ever, and I'd definitely take the excuse to play it through again
In addition, a new Turn-Based Combat mode is in development for Pillars of Eternity coming later this year. More details on how to participate will be shared once it's available, so keep an eye on our socials and the Obsidian Discord server!
