     Metaphor Refantazio's instant success joins the recent turn-based RPG explosion

Developer Atlus' Metaphor: ReFantazio was released this week with a couple of major milestones. It is not only the company's fastest-selling game on Steam, but also the biggest launch. While this might come as a surprise to some, it shouldn't, because turn-based RPGs pull in thousands of players every week. Atlus' latest is part of a long line of turn-based hits, and it once again proves we need more of them.

     Europa Universalis 4 is the cheapest it's ever been, right as four DLC are free

If there's one thing Paradox Interactive is great at, it's making grand strategy games. We've got Stellaris, Hearts of Iron 4, Crusader Kings 3, Victoria, and of course Europa Universalis 4. With over a decade of updates and DLC, EU4 is a Steam stalwart that's easily the pre-eminent Middle Ages games out there. If you've never played it, then, you can grab it for the cheapest it's ever been alongside a slate of free DLC right now. With Paradox continuing to tease Europa Universalis 5, there's no better time to give its predecessor a try.

     Free Monopoly Go dice links October 2024

October 13, 2024: We've added one new Monopoly Go dice link for free dice rolls.

How can I get Monopoly Go free dice links? The household favorite board game has been reimagined as a free-to-play app on smartphones, allowing everyone to experience the thrills of Monopoly on practically any device. Everything that makes the board game special is here in Monopoly Go, so you'll be collecting properties and building hotels as you go around the board, and there are a variety of multiplayer minigames to get through along the way.

You're going to need to get your hands on Monopoly dice rolls, but they are difficult to come by no matter how far you are into the board game. There are ways to earn additional dice rolls, including logging into the game every day to collect daily bonuses, progressing further in the game, and inviting friends to try Monopoly Go. While you can also spend real money to unlock more dice rolls, you may want to give our list of Monopoly Go dice links a try instead, especially if you're waiting for the next Monopoly Go Golden Blitz event. Take a look at all the currently active Monopoly Go free dice links for today.

     New World Aeternum

Change is in essential part of live-service games. The Azeroth of 2004 is very different to the one we see in 2024, for example, expanded and improved with decades worth of new content. Despite only launching in 2021, New World is the same, with the Elysian Wilds getting an overhaul in Rise of the Angry Earth, and the colossal Brimstone Sands update adding a huge new zone. But with New World: Aeternum the world will change again, refining the single-player experience and adding a new raid and the eerie Cursed Mists PvPvE area. As the original New World is replaced by this shiny new version, some are lamenting its demise, so I ask senior producer Katy Kaszynski about the initial backlash Aeternum faced, and whether or not Amazon would ever consider 'New World Classic.'

It's not far away, you know. The promised land of never having to experience a game the way it was intended again. That long sought after holy grail of sticking your fingers in your ears and going wahwahwah. But it's not going to be something created by people with talent, vision, expertise, drive, a dream, or a story in their hearts. No, as with everything in our imminent future, it will be achieved by putting a bucket over your head.

Sundays are for making and freezing a bunch of sandwiches so I can later toast them at my leisure. Not sure why, just fancied becoming the sort of person with a bountiful hoard of sandwiches. Before I get seriously locked in to some rhythmic bread slapping, here's some writing I personally found interesting about games (and game related things!)
