What we've been playing - Loot fountains, Indy delights, and layers of game trifle


Hello and Happy New Year! Did you have a nice break? I hope so.

Watch on YouTube Never was this more apparent than during Diablo 4's festive Slay Ride to Hell celebration, which spawned Treasure Goblins around the map seemingly everywhere - those scurrying Santa-like carriers of bottomless bags of loot. But there's also a third layer that riffs on all manner of Tunic/Fez/ARG-style 'deep' secrets involving hidden bunnies, bar codes, community puzzles that - hands up - are probably beyond me (or rather, beyond the amount of available head space I have for that kind of stuff alongside also having a job). MachineGames consistently demonstrates an understanding of the essence of Indy - his half-mumbled deductions, mildly snarky humour, and the subtle movements and facial animation that make me feel like I'm watching a fresh performance mo-capped by Harrison Ford himself.
