From a canceled MMO to a smash-hit shooter. How a huge failure was turned into one of Blizzard’s best decisions

I’ve covered a few ambitious game projects that didn’t quite work out. There was the Odyssey, which I discussed last July and ultimately failed to make an impact. I also looked at StarCraft: Ghost over a year ago, and now there’s Project Titan, a massive online game intended to compete with and even surpass World of Warcraft. Unfortunately, it also ended up being canceled. We now have some insight into why these projects failed.

From demo to Early Access: community, combat, and crafting monsters. Talking Aethermancer with the founder of Moi Rai Games

Even now, after it’s been released, Aethermancer offers a free demo on Steam that you can check out. Being a roguelike means you’ll restart often, which might seem strange for a game where you usually form connections with your team.

Which is the best version of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven? PS5, Switch 2, PC, Xbox, & More Compared

In this article, I’ll be discussing Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven across several platforms: the Switch, a potential Switch 2 edition, Steam (played on the Steam Deck), Xbox Series X, Xbox on PC (using the ROG Ally), PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 (through its demo on PS5). It’s important to note that this feature is specifically about Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven and not the first game in the series, which is also available on consoles, PC, and mobile.

Get Chinchilla and Acorn! All Nutty Chest rewards in Grow a Garden (GaG)

I personally don’t care for loot boxes. However, they *are* included in Grow a Garden as Crates and Chests. The Crates are filled with cosmetic items, while the Chests contain plants and pets. This time around, the Chest is called “Nutty,” and it’s a great fit for the event’s theme.

Get Fortune Squirrel and new Jackpot mutation in Grow a Garden (GaG)

As mentioned before, the Jackpot mutation can be obtained through the Fortune Squirrel. This is a new pet available in Grow a Garden. You’ll need to act fast to get it, as it will likely become unavailable when the event concludes. So, how do you acquire it? It’s relatively straightforward. It’s a reward within the current Chubby Chipmunk event, but earning it will require some effort.
