Having Diablo in your pocket, playable at any time and anywhere, is a delicious and wonderful thing. It's also dangerous if you want to focus on anything else; Diablo Immortal's portability and accessibility come with a cost: a constant, nagging sense that the game really wants you to spend more money on it. And while…

     The best Diablo Immortal class for every type of player

Want to know which Diablo Immortal class you should pick? It may shock you to learn that there's a PC version of the mobile RPG game Blizzard initially said wasn't coming to PC. That's great for those of you who prefer to play by frantically clicking your mouse rather than tapping your thumbs, but the main takeaway here is that there's a new Diablo game.

Set between the events of Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, your chosen adventurer must deal with the consequences of Archangel Tyrael's sacrifice, and prevent the Lord of Terror's minions from rebuilding the shattered Worldstone. If you've been playing Diablo for a while, you may already have picked your favourite Diablo Immortal class and be familiar with how it'll play. However, if this is your first time venturing into Blizzard's hellish realm, you may be seeking a little to help you defeat the demonic beasts who are relishing the chance to rend your flesh.

Do you go with the savage Barbarian who can use deadly melee attacks to chop, lop, and crop any foes in their way? Perhaps the Demon Hunter's unique combination of stealth and ranged techniques is more your cup of the proverbial. Still no? If you'd rather take a back seat and keep your hands clean, then you'll probably love the idea of summoning minions with the Necromancer and getting them to do your bidding. There are six wildly different classes in Diablo Immortal, so let's go over each one and explain how they play.

     Genshin Impact codes June 2022 – redeem free primogems

Looking for Genshin Impact codes? MiHoYo's charming open-world game is notoriously easy to lose yourself in, and if you're like us, you're constantly looking out for more Genshin Impact primogems and other handy consumables.

Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind - while you can earn mora and primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, the developers MiHoYo occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online.

These Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearring in MiHoYo's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the game soon, but also to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events. Most codes also only work for a limited time - so it's a good idea to redeem them as soon as possible in case you miss out. Codes can only be redeemed once per account. Here are all the current Genshin Impact codes for June 2022, and how to redeem them.

     Arma Reforger patch fixes janky multiplayer animations

A new Arma Reforger update is out today, and it makes some welcome fixes to the military multiplayer game that should make playing online a smoother experience. We mean that literally: one issue players have run into with the early access game is that other characters' animations in multiplayer make them look like they're blinking in and out of existence, and today's patch should correct that particular bit of weirdness.

There are two specific changes aimed at correcting the smoothness of other players' animations, but several changes made in this update should make Arma Reforger more stable online overall, which should help with animation too. With this patch, the animation data you see will be from the owner of the character, rather than from the server. Another separate tweak has been made to "[improve] smoothness of characters in multiplayer."

There's a host of additional fixes and improvements in the patch as well: idle AI should be more aware of its surroundings from now on, and the explosives containers you come across in the Conflict game mode should actually contain explosives rather than "regular items."

     Diablo Immortal server list for PC and mobile

Looking for the Diablo Immortal server list? The Diablo Immortal release time is here and as more players start checking out the RPG game, it can be difficult to log in successfully. Thankfully, Blizzard Entertainment has released a complete list of servers for different regions and languages, so you and your friends can work out which server to join for co-op dungeon-delving or brutal PvP brawls.

As the Diablo Immortal server list shows, the game has support for many different languages. You may want to ensure that the server you join has players that speak the same dialect. If performance is your priority, the server you pick should be one close to you to reduce latency.

When you first boot up Diablo Immortal, you're automatically assigned a server in your region. However, you can choose to change your Diablo Immortal server by clicking the arrow next to the server name, then using the options available to choose your region and server. Unfortunately, you can't transfer characters between servers, so choose carefully when you're starting out.

     Warhammer 40K: Boltgun is a gory old-school homage to Doom

One of the big surprises during the Warhammer Skulls showcase this year was Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, a gloriously bloody FPS game designed to evoke the excess of classic shooters of the '90s. It's in development at Auroch Digital, and slated for release in 2023.

The Warhammer 40K: Boltgun trailer begins looking like it's about to introduce a new Life is Strange game: it's a cozy scene of an unseen person unpacking old belongings from cardboard boxes, eventually finding one that contains their old Warhammer 40K miniatures and games. In it, there's a 3.5" floppy diskette, lovingly labeled with a hand-drawn design.

The gameplay footage, by contrast, is pure '90s FPS grunge, with chunky pixels, enemies with just a few frames of animation each, and a bolt pistol that ejects a steady stream of piping hot brass (each casing even has the classic artifacting around the edge - heaven!) It looks like we'll be playing as a member of the Ultramarines, aerating our way through hordes of enemies that include daemons, cultists, and Chaos space marines as well.

     Warhammer Vermintide 2 Be'lakor Update 1Developer Fatshark may be busy working on Warhammer 40K: Darktide, but it still has more prepared for Vermintide II. The latter game released to positive reviews back in 2018, receiving multiple updates and content packs. One of which was Chaos Wastes, a free DLC that injected rogue-lite elements into the fold. But soon, Chaos Wastes will be expanded further in Vermintide II with a Be'lakor update, which alters levels and applies various curses. Be'lakor is a new presence in Vermintide II's Chaos Wastes. A being "disowned by the very gods he once worshipped," Be'lakor returns to make your life a little hellish. Levels within the Chaos Wastes will now be influenced by Be'lakor. He also sends out his own personal Shadow Lieutenants for you to fight. All the while, new curses keep things spicy. The Shadow Skulls curse, for example, will spawn "vicious skulls" in the air. Shadow Totems, found within the levels, spawn an infinite number ...

     Warhammer Shootas Blood Teef release run and gun tankA massively popular series of video games based on an equally popular collection of tabletop games, the Warhammer IP has quite a few spin-offs to its name. Most Warhammer games boast real-time strategy gameplay reminiscent of the franchise's tabletop roots, but the spinoffs occasionally dabble into other genres. Although the franchise has seen plenty of shooters throughout the years, it has rarely delved into the world of side-scrolling run-and-gun games. Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef, a bombastic new title that Games Workshop revealed more information on during today's Warhammer Skulls 2022 event, plans to do exactly this. The company specifically announced that Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef will see a release on October 20. This explosive new game tasks players with controlling the merciless Orks as they wreak havoc throughout the Luteus Prime city area. Along the way, they will lay waste to humans, Genestealer cultists, and other Orks, all ...

     Silt today diver underwater monochromeJust today, developer Spiral Circus released Silt, a puzzle-adventure game that tasks players with exploring an unsettling underwater abyss. The monochrome visuals, as well as the heavy focus on atmosphere, appear reminiscent of games like Limbo, so fans of that title may find something to enjoy here. Silt already has a fairly generous base price of $14.99 USD, but those interested can take advantage of a 10% discount that will remain in effect until June 8. Either way, players do not have to pay much at all if they wish to see what kinds of unsightly terrors await in the underwater world of Silt. According to a press release, Silt puts players in the flippers of a diver attempting to find the ocean's various secrets by exploring its ancient ruins and machinery. Along the way, the diver will encounter various sea creatures that they can possess through some unknown power. Through this ability, the diver can take advantage of the unique skills of each sea creature to solve th...

     Warhammer 40000 Boltgun 90s Shooter Game FeatIt's Warhammer Skulls week, and that means we're getting a fresh, blood-soaked supply of Warhammer game news and announcements. Speaking of new games, one reveal instantly sparked my interest. As a older fellow who grew up on "boomer shooters," Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a game that I'd be happy to have on my PC. Boltgun is a new story set in the Warhammer universe, but through the pixelated lens of '90s first-person shooters. Grab that gun and Chainsword, it's time to gib some daemons. The trailer paired along with the game should no doubt get some waterworks flowing for long-time 40K fans. A person goes through some old boxes, only to discover some long-lost figured and, of course, a floppy disc with "Boltgun" written on the front. It feels appropriate for the '90s-inspired Boltgun to come on a floppy. But you know we're all just going to download it when it arrives in 2023.   Gameplay footage in the trailer is ...

     Darkest Dungeon II steam ReleaseFollowing its lengthy Early Access stay on the Epic Games Store, Darkest Dungeon II finally has a release window for its full release. You can expect Darkest Dungeon II's full release on Steam and the EGS in February 2023. In a recent community update, developer Red Hook Studios also laid out a Darkest Dungeon II roadmap ahead of its launch. Red Hook Studios states: "This revised roadmap favours more frequent updates, and is in service of reaching a complete 1.0 in February 2023 on EGS and Steam. Console releases will follow." This is not all the community update entails, which is very exciting for many fans who have not heard anything since the last update for the game, "The Shroud of the Deep."   Darkest Dungeon II roadmap details upcoming changes In the update, Red Hook states that the current XP system is quite minimal and lacks enough meaningful choices.
