Palworld has achieved more players in 2 months than Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy managed in a year

Nightingale is off to a strong start but it’s also got a ‘mixed’ user rating on Steam, and once again server problems are largely to blame

Nightingale’s introduction will probably annoy sandbox survival fans, but old-school BioWare fans are going to dig it

Nightingale‘s RPG credentials are apparent right away. Yes, this is absolutely a survival game full of crafting, building and managing annoying hunger, thirst and heat meters, but unsurprisingly his decades at BioWare have left a mark on Inflexion Games boss Aaryn Flynn.  I’m not talking about the crunchy numbers side of RPGs, but more the […]
