Valve just completely changed the Deadlock Urn again, days after its rework spawned a weekend of mayhem
Valve has just dropped an 'emergency' Deadlock update, and I hope you didn't get too used to the new Soul Urn, because it's all changing again. The most recent patch shook up the hero-shooter MOBA in a number of ways, but by far the most significant was its redesign of the way…

A new Deadlock update reworks the Urn into a more chaotic, powerful comeback engine

Now that Subnautica 2 is out, the most wishlisted game on Steam is… a game that's been out for almost 2 years?
weirdly enjoyable side effect of a massive game launch is that it shakes up the most-wishlisted games on Steam . Subnautica 2 has been perched (haha, fish pun) atop the most-wishlisted games on Steam for ages, probably since Hollow Knight: Silksong was released in September…

Why I love Deadlock's map, which has brought me back to the world of MOBAs long after I swore I'd quit
MOBAs are an unassailable genre at the best of times—they require not just a high level of mechanical skill, but they also have a massive knowledge floor, demanding you keep track of a dozen dozen variables or die in ways that ruin it for everybody. And Deadlock is no…
