  Minecraft is one of the most popular games on the planet, so it’s natural that Microsoft, after buying creator Mojang some years back, would attempt to apply the genre’s playful, blocky aesthetic to other genres. After modest success with the Story Mode adventure game and Pokémon GO-like Minecraft Earth, they’ve tried their hand at a light action-RPG à la Diablo — and unfortunately come up rather short.

As the infrastructure for developing games becomes more advanced, studios have turned to buying best-in-class technology from others instead of building everything from scratch (often with inferior quality). This shift underpinned Unity’s rise as the most popular game engine.

There are big movements in gaming right now to make games cross-platform (not

Check out a new trailer for Assassin's Creed Valhalla from the May 7, 2020 Inside Xbox livestream. At today’s Inside Xbox event, Ubisoft and Microsoft teamed up to show players a new trailer for the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It was described as a gameplay trailer but that’s a huge stretch. At best it was a showcase for in-game cinematics but calling it gameplay might be a bit much. [embedded content] That trailer doesn't really sell the moment-to-moment gameplay as much as I was hoping, but we did get
