Doomed: Demons of the Nether is a new, free mod out today for Minecraft that turns the entire blocky survival game into a surprisingly accurate-looking recreation of the 2016 Doom reboot, complete with shotguns and even a BFG.

Some games, like Wordle and other indie titles, are trying to be smaller experiences that you play for a few minutes or hours and then leave. Dying Light 2 isn't one of those games. Instead, the folks behind the game are excitedly advertising that it will take players over 500 hours to fully complete the open-world…

     Here's Mewgenics'

The latest game from Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy developer Team Meat, here's a short look at Mewgenics' turn-based combat in action along with new details on the cat DnD RPG - which is already "super fun", despite still being two years away.

We first started hearing about Mew-genics - back when it still had a hyphen - around ten years ago, and that version was ultimately cancelled. However, back in 2018 Team Meat head Edward McMillen confirmed that Mewgenics was back in development and had been entirely rebooted.

There's only been bits and pieces on the game since but it's beginning to take shape. McMillen recently answered a few questions on Mewgenics on Twitter - including reconfirming that the current version probably won't be out until at least 2024. He also confirms that it's similar to Binding of Isaac "in terms of replayability", featuring branching chapters with zones consisting of three chapters each - and that it's basically "cat DnD".

To me, Mass Effect ends about six hours into Mass Effect 1, when I get bored and wander off to play something else. I've had ears and eyes long enough to know that people were upset about the ending of Mass Effect 3 however, even after BioWare tweaked it. The original Mass Effect 3 had various "Happy Ending Mods" to change the close of Commander Shepard's story, and now Mass Effect Legendary Edition does, too.
