Marble Souls dares to ask what would happen if the bloke from Dark Souls got stuck in a physics-driven ball, and it's out this year

FromSoft games famously often devolve into rolling around a big baddie. Marble Souls takes that a step further. Now, the rolling is the main event, not just a side effect of you not wanting to end up pancaked on the ground.

Roblox causes Wall Street value estimators to cry themselves a $9 billion puddle, as a result of pushing less kids towards aggressively monetised viral games

Wall Street moneyfolk are not having a good time. They're openly weeping into their expensive suit sleeves and not even a thousand pictures of lines going up can reassure them. They're sad about Roblox. The everythingverse of user-made games generally aimed at kids has let them down by changing its algorithm to push less kids towards "games that emphasise short-term monetisation". Cue $9 billion being lopped off Roblox Corp's market cap valuation, because how could the game's makers allow such
