Old-school MMO Project: Gorgon launches into 1.0 with an update that adds ‘by far the largest and most complex map we’ve ever made’

Project: Gorgon has emerged from Steam early access, featuring straightforward 3D graphics and a minimally guided leveling experience that encourages exploration. The recent 1.0 update introduced the capital city of Statehelm, which is the largest map created by the developers and includes 200 new quests and character progression up to level 100. The update also brought new character models, revisions to combat wisdom mechanics, crafting epiphanies for master craftsmen, and refinements to player-run vendor stalls. A notable change in the game is that "skeletons are no longer contortionists." A demo is available for players to experience the game up to level 15, and a 25% launch discount is offered until February 4, reducing the price to £15.74.

Blizzard has made it impossible to die while levelling in World of Warcraft, for some reason — at what point does being too easy become boring?

World of Warcraft is celebrating its 20th year of profitable operation and was acquired by Microsoft through the purchase of Activision-Blizzard. The latest expansion, The War Within, has been well-received and includes enhancements for casual gamers, such as a new dungeon system. However, new players have found the leveling experience easier and more simplistic, as they can no longer die due to a mechanic known as the "Obsidian Blessing." This change has led to critiques about the lack of depth and engagement in the leveling journey, prompting interest in WoW Classic for a more rewarding experience. The game features a range of challenges, including 25-player Mythic raids and Mythic+ dungeons, but the inconsistency in difficulty from levels 1 to 70 has caused confusion among players. Concerns about the balance between accessibility and engagement persist, as the removal of stakes in gameplay may diminish the game's captivating essence.
