Massively Overpowered

If the Don't Starve soundtrack haunts your nightmares the way it does mine, then I have bad news for you: Klei Entertainment has another co-op title in the same spirit on deck. It's called Rotwood, and it rolled into early access this week for just under 10 buckaroos. From Klei's description, Rotwood is basically a co-op roguelike in which...

Warframe isn't content to let other online game studios hog the months of May and June to themselves. The scifi action RPG is planning a one-two punch of power and precision this spring, leading up to TennoCon 2024 and more info on Warframe: 1999 in July. First up is the arrival of the Prime form of the Protea warframe, the...

The big 2-0. Not many MMORPGs reach this anniversary in live status. However, some -- like City of Heroes -- can fight their way back after a break! Thanks to the officially sanctioned server Homecoming, fans get to celebrate the 20th anniversary doing what they enjoy: playing the game! Massively OP's MJ joins the throng as PUNisher Intended to...

There's this ongoing common perception in MMOs like Lord of the Rings Online that player housing is good for one and only one purpose: to be a Barbie dollhouse where you stash nice-looking but otherwise pointless trophies. Maybe you become a decorating virtuoso of the game and astound others with your creation, but that's about it. This line of thinking...

Join us for our weekly open thread! It's about sheep. Also we're discussing what MMOs we're playing this weekend and answering a bonus question about toys.

08While the launch dates for upcoming MMORPGs are a tricky and uncertain affair, what's more assured is an array of expansions that are on track to come out in the 2024 calendar year. Sometimes those can even be more exciting than a new MMO, especially if you're invested in that title. We've got a lot that's on deck for the...

Not much has happened in AQ3D's cemetery (wait, isn't that a good thing?!?). Until now. The latest update brings in Lady Phimion, who is also known as The Wandering Light, to cleanse the cemetery of a secretive group of necromancer wannabes affiliated with the Cult of Mortis. Massively OP's MJ will assist Lady Phimion in wiping out those death...

For some reason we keep letting games enter early access, and this week saw two more hit that stage of release, with both Age of Water and Bellwright moving access to the "early" column. Before you jump into the latter, please be reminded that the developers  all but abandoned their last early access game, so that may be helpful...

Stardew Valley isn't quite finished perfecting its cozy life sim world. This past week saw the release of Patch 1.6.4, and as usual, the devs crammed in plenty of new things to do and see in this pocket-sized universe. Among the offerings with this update include 40 new mine layouts, the introduction of something called "fish frenzies," an additional cutscenes,...

The multiplayer PvP-focused medieval brawler Mordhau doesn't often hit our news desk except when it's promising to fight toxicity or when modders transform the title wholesale, but it's been going on for five years running, which means developer Triternion is going to celebrate by unleashing demons on its playerbase. The digital kind, not literal ones; the studio has presumably...
