‘Too many games let their players succeed’ says developer of notoriously tough survival RPG Kenshi, and ‘that’s mind-numbingly boring to me’

Kenshi is an open world survival RPG known for its challenging gameplay, particularly in the early stages. Players navigate a brutal world as ordinary individuals rather than legendary heroes. The game's creator, Natalie Hunt, dislikes the "chosen one" archetype and prefers stories about regular people. Kenshi 2 will be set 1,000 years before the first game, feature a map 50% larger than the original's 870 square kilometers, and introduce many new factions unique to the Kenshi universe. There is no release date for the sequel, but the original game is currently available at a 70% discount on Steam.

‘A Minecraft Movie’ is on-track for a $135M opening weekend

The big screen adaptation of Minecraft has made a significant debut, earning millions on its opening Friday and is projected to reach 5 million by the end of the weekend, potentially setting a new benchmark for 2023. If these projections hold, it would surpass “Captain America: Brave New World,” which earned .8 million in February, and provide a boost to the domestic box office, which is down 7% year-over-year. The film, directed by Jared Hess and featuring stars like Jason Momoa and Jack Black, creatively introduces human characters into the Minecraft world, despite the game's lack of a defined storyline. The film's performance mirrors that of “The Super Mario Brothers Movie,” which also faced mixed reviews but achieved box office success. This opening weekend is encouraging for Warner Bros., which has faced recent setbacks, and a sequel seems likely.
