The writer O. Henry is alleged to have said of New York City, "It'll be a great place if they ever finish it." I have a very similar feeling about Minecraft Legends. Its mix of real-time strategy and third-person action seems like it could be a splendid game, should Mojang ever get around to completing it.

     Minecraft Legends multiplayer explained

Want to dive into Minecraft Legends multiplayer to defend and attack against another team of PvP players? This Minecraft Legends mode is the perfect blend of base defence, PvP, and classic Minecraft world design.

Minecraft Legends combines the world of Minecraft with strategy gameplay, as you choose armies of Minecraft Legends mobs to defend against an invasion of Piglins. When the Minecraft Legends release date arrives, those pesky Piglins are set to burst forth from their Nether Portal, and while you might be able to defend against them with a few Skeletons and Zombies by your side, it can't hurt to have some friends there, too. So here's everything you need to know about Minecraft Legends multiplayer.

Cliff 'CliffyB' Bleszinski, the creator of Gears of War and founder of erstwhile gaming studio Boss Key Productions, teases news about LawBreakers, the Overwatch and Valorant-esque multiplayer FPS game that closed down in 2018 only a year after its launch. In a somewhat cryptic message, Bleszinski tells fans to "stay tuned" regarding LawBreakers, apparently connected to information he received in a text message from his lawyer.

     Diablo 4 release date, beta, trailers, gameplay, and features

Want to know the Diablo 4 release date and all the latest news? The upcoming entry in the demon-slaying action RPG series has many teasers and trailers. They showcase the various classes we can use to take on the hordes of monsters that block the way between the horned lord of the underworld and, well, us.

The roster of playable Diablo 4 classes includes transforming druids, spell-flinging wizards, and somersaulting rogues. Each class has unique combat skills to weave through every shambling zombie, skittering demon, and colossal terror that awaits you in these dank, hallowed halls. So far, so familiar, but that's hardly going to upset the series' devoted fans. One thing is for certain; when the RPG does release, it's bound to be making a push for our best PC games list.

     Minecraft Legends review – a bridge mostly far enough

Until our Minecraft Legends review, I never expected Minecraft, of all franchises, to try and get in on the action-RTS subgenre. It's hardly in vogue. But after manifesting both as an episodic narrative adventure (Minecraft Story Mode) and an ARPG (Minecraft Dungeons), Minecraft Legends does another solid job of extending the IP into new territory, even if its simplicity won't do much to win over connoisseurs looking for either the 'action' or 'RTS' components to really excel.

As you may have noticed, the RTX 4070 was released earlier this week - indeed, the official RPS 4070 review went live yesterday. It's a good graphics card, fundamentally speaking, but like many recent releases it's a bit more pricey than it should be at $599 / £589.

Thankfully though, in the US you can actually pick up AMD's more powerful last-gen flagship card, the RX 6950 XT, for just $10 more thanks to a deal at Newegg.

Surveying the sprawling piglin outpost before me, a plan forms. With a flourish of button presses from my controller, I spawn a sizeable army of zombies. They'll zomble their way up the main path, and with their high health pools they'll cut into the vast piglin forces and buy me time. With another flourish a contingent of friendly creepers scuttles along behind me. I lead them on a flanking attack around the outpost, targeting their spawners while the main piglin army is occupied with my frontal assault. A masterpiece of tactical engineering!

Or it would have been, if my minions weren't so bloody stupid. Half my zombies fell off the staircase they were climbing due to their terrible pathfinding, and burned up in the lava moat below. Meanwhile, I sent my creepers off to explode against the first spawner I found. Only one of them got there; the others relentlessly humped a wall they could easily have climbed, until Piglins surrounded and slaughtered them. I returned to my starting point with what remained of my army, a fair bit poorer in resources, and a great deal poorer in patience.

Welcome to Minecraft Legends, a strange mixture of real-time strategy and open-world adventure which frustrates and impresses in equal measure. There's half a great game lurking here, but it's marred by inadequacies that have nibbled away at me like piglins at my walls. This game could have been so much more.

Following the third The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailer reveal, voice actor Matthew Mercer announced he will play Ganondorf.

Matthew Mercer is a familiar voice in the video game industry. He's played characters like Mitsuru Kuroiwa in Judgment, Kanji Tatsumi in Persona 4, Yusuke Kitagawa in Persona 5, Jotaro Kujo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Chrom in Fire Emblem. He also recently confirmed he will be Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil Death Island.
