It took a while but there's finally an official way to hunt and kill some of Subnautica 2's most annoying sea creatures. The only catch is, you'll have to do it in Dave the Diver DLC—though as catches go, that's a pretty fun one.

A great indie studio is making a sequel to one of my favorite adventures 17 years later, for one simple reason: 'We're not getting any younger, and the world seems to be ending'

It's been 17 years since the original Machinarium, a wordless tale of love in a crumbling city of robots. Amanita Design has put out some great games over that span—Botanicula, Chuchel, Creaks, Phonopolis—but hasn't breathed even a hint that more Machinarium might be on the way. So why now?
"We're not getting any younger, and the world seems to be ending, so if we were ever going to make Machinarium 2, now is the right time," Amanita CEO and designer Jakub Dvorský said—a bit dark, sure, but I can't find any factual fault in his reasoning. "We're also grateful to every player who waited patiently all these years. We couldn't have done it without them."

Blizzard refuses to let World of Warcraft: Forever's dungeons become the fastest way to grind XP: 'We need to hold firm on these balance adjustments'

World of Warcraft: Forever players have a lot of intense feelings about the role dungeons play in the leveling experience. Some want dungeons to be an alternative way to level up, a reason to play a tank or healer before hitting max level. Others want dungeons to be on par with questing so they don't feel like they're wasting their time in the open world.
In a podcast released earlier today, Blizzard addressed this debate and announced some tweaks to how dungeon XP will work. Basically, the XP you get from killing monsters in dungeons is going up a little bit, but not to the level it was in the original MMO. The developers explained that this is because they want the world of Azeroth to be the "main character" and don't want everyone spending their entire leveling experience in caves.
