The absolute nonchalance of The Regent in Slay the Spire 2
Amazing! I can't wait to see Johnny and Chris try to play PUBG π€«
"Slay the Spire 2 is like when I had my second child. Itβs a little different than the first one, but you love it unconditionally."
"I'd let this game babysit my children."
"Slay the spire... my coconut bear, what do i say"
Steam reviews for Slay the Spire 2 that are better than anything I could write:

"Everything good about the first one, but more and prettier."

Proud moment in an interview recently (embargo this week) when the presenting party said: "And we know you're quite knowledgeable on Dungeons & Dragons so if you really want to go super-thorough, super-deep on mechanics, please by all means go ahead."
My inner nerd never felt so validated

"Top-line features: You're a banana; You're in the forest; There are other bananas around you; And not only bananas"

A banana on a crate by a river.
"Exactly."
Imagine pitching this to a board.
"You know what we need?"
"A live service win?"
"An Ultimate Team game of our own?"
"Pay to win?"
"No! A game about being a banana."
"..."
"A game in which you can become a banana and do all the things bananas usually do."
"But bananas don't do anything."
My restrained and professional opinion of Slay the Spire 2 so far: π
www.eurogamer.net/co-op-works-...
I love this sort of constant fiddling with a game's innards to make it just so. A positive side effect of live service games? Or an excuse to keep changing your mind and alter things?
Diablo 4's in good shape at the moment, and the skill overhaul is a lovely thing
This is absolutely disgusting. Water companies including Southern Water have been using bailiffs for debt collection - in a cost of living crisis (!) and while they continue to pollute our waterways and despite outages and poor service. Shame on them. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
Been face-down in a Diablo 4 piece for later but now I'm turning my attention to the real thriller of the day. No not Marathon but Slay the bloody Spire 2!

A blank doc with "***head / ***strap / ***body" at the top - another day begins
I think a lot about how when "Lord of the Flies" happened IRL, the boys worked together to build a little community until they were rescued. But these were Tongans and not British.

I love this so much. And I remember the stink it caused! I actually think it's a really important video that showcased a side of games we all know is there but people didn't want us to talk about. (How many cameras were there?) But that's another point for another day.
Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals. I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue. In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to sayβ¦
From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).π
