Storybook Brawl (opens in new tab) is a free-to-play fairytale card game designed by former Magic: The Gathering pros that showed real promise when it debuted in 2021. It still needed work—we said in a preview (opens in new tab) later that year that it felt “unfocused,” and was “struggling for a unique identity among the varied mechanics of what is still an unexplored game genre”—but it was in early access, which is exactly when those sorts of issues are supposed to be worked out.
Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. Developer Good Luck Games announced on Twitter today that the servers will be taken offline for good on May 1.
“On behalf of everyone on the SBB team, we’d like to thank you for your support,” the studio tweeted earlier today. “We’ve explored different options, and unfortunately there is no path forward. We’ll be shutting down the servers on May 1st – please enjoy SBB until then, and thanks for all the memories.”
A specific reason for the closure hasn’t been given, but the widely held assumption is that Storybook Brawl was caught in the swirl of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange that went from a $32 billion valuation at the beginning of 2022 to multiple criminal charges (opens in new tab) at the end of it.
FTX acquired Good Luck Games in March 2022, saying it was an “opportunity to be the vanguard for the ethical integration of gaming and crypto transactions.” Fans didn’t see it that way, however: The review bombs (opens in new tab) began dropping almost immediately, dragging the user rating on Steam down to “mixed”, based on 3,506 reviews at current count.
The bigger issue, of course, was that FTX was itself a house of cards. Founder Sam Bankman-Fried denied criminal intent but acknowledged on Twitter that he “fucked up,” which is certainly one way to put it; criminal charges have yet to be proven in court but at the very least, FTX was run fast, loose, and with basically no oversight.
Sorry to hear. I really enjoyed the game and felt like it had a lot of potential.April 25, 2023

The studio didn’t comment directly on the collapse of FTX, although it did make a couple of oblique references to the company’s troubles. On November 11 (opens in new tab), the day FTX filed for bankruptcy, Good Luck Games tweeted that “given the circumstances, we are saddened to announce that we are cancelling the World Championship in The Bahamas,” and said that it was “unsure about the future of Organized Play and the World Championship.”
A couple months later, Good Luck Games said it “appreciates the community’s continued passion for the game,” but had no “big news” to share otherwise.
The Storybook Brawl team appreciates the community’s continued passion for the game. We don’t have any big news to share right now, but we will keep everyone updated as things change. Thank you and we appreciate your patience.January 26, 2023

Some fans are hoping the rights to Storybook Brawl can be acquired in order to enable its re-release, possibly as an open source game, but given FTX’s legal entanglements, that doesn’t seem like a likely outcome to me. I’ve reached out to Good Luck Games for more information on the closure, and will update if I receive a reply.

Three yellows… OK, that’s great… three greens next… that’s even better… and then…? Disaster. I had the same grey gaps in the same places for three goes in a row, leaving me with just one go left—a classic all-or-nothing scenario. It definitely took me longer to finally spot today’s Wordle answer hiding in the remaining unused letters than I wanted it to, but the wave of relief that washed over me after was worth the temporary worry.

Start with a word that has a mix of common vowels and consonants.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and it’s up to you to work out which five-letter word is hiding among them to win the popular daily puzzle.
It’s usually a good plan to start with a strong word (opens in new tab) like ALERT—or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels—and you should be off to a flying start, with a little luck anyway. You should also avoid starting words with repeating letters, so you don’t waste the chance to confirm or eliminate an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you might have missed on the first row—just don’t forget to leave out any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the correct word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words and don’t forget letters can repeat too (eg: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab), as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle (opens in new tab), refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures (opens in new tab). Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

There are several main entry points to the cozy games space: Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing being the biggest and Disney Dreamlight Valley being one of the newest. If you need a new row to hoe after exhausting those mainstays, oodles of cozy games abound on PC. “Cozy games” is a non-genre distinction that winds up meaning different things to lots of people, but I think we can agree on an appreciation for soft visuals and gameplay that isn’t too demanding or fast-paced.
Some of the best cozy games keep to the farming and friendship themes of the big two, but others are short adventures, laid back RPGs, and even the occasional cozy horror game. We’ve cherry-picked a fresh list of cute and chill games to play if the old favorites are no longer bearing fruit for you. These are the best cozy games on PC that you should try after you’ve exhausted all your usual village getaways.
If you specifically want more town life sims, check out our list of games like Stardew Valley that will keep you cultivating farms and friendships.
This pastel and painterly collectathon game is one of the best replacements for Animal Crossing on PC. As a new Spirit Scout you’ll explore an island full of ghostly animals who need your help. Like Animal Crossing, Cozy Grove uses a real world clock system to dole out its story. The warning that it’s intended for no more than one or two hours of play each day should be taken seriously as there’s not too much to do after you’ve knocked out the daily quests. Cozy game bingers may find themselves hitting that soft wall on the regular, but if you want to slow yourself down the grove can provide.
Coral Island
(Image credit: Stairway Games)
Release date: 2022 | Developer: stairway Games | Steam
There’s lots to do on this island including farming, fishing, crafting, mining, and cleaning up trash to restore its natural splendor. And when you’re not growing crops or raising livestock, romance is in the air: over two dozen of the island’s residents are dateable and they’re all shockingly hot, so you’ll be sure to find a partner. There are all sorts of stories to uncover as you get to know the locals and grow your plot of land from a handful of vegetables into a farmer’s paradise.
This super beautiful RPG is actually the tiny version of an MMO with servers of just seven players. You’ll create a character sheet and begin exploring the Braided Shore where magic is done by brewing teas and tying knots. Spend your time fishing and trading, buying spells that create fireworks or turn you into a deer, and engage in a spot of semi turn-based combat if you’re feeling brave. It’s an exceptionally chill online game where you communicate with others by emotes only, a truly lovely world with an equally cozy soundtrack. Still in early access, Book of Travels is planning more areas of the map to continue its very subtle story.
Rhythm games don’t really have a reputation for being chill, but Melatonin is definitely low key and cozy. With its muted colors and lo-fi beats, Melatonin is nearly as relaxing as its name implies. Instead of throwing bars of beats at you, you’ll play along via visual cues that help you complete the beat in each of its levels.
For those that want a cozy game that won’t consume 100+ hours, this super cute adventure can be completed in around four hours. Explore an island mountain park while helping out the folks around you and uncovering small secrets on your journey to the peak. The park is lovely enough from the ground, but your main character can fly down too, so don’t forget to hunt for hidden areas and unseen new friends.
Strategy games don’t normally strike me as cozy, but Dorfomantik really lets you take the pressure off. I lost an entire weekend to this hex-based tile game the first time I tried it. In its standard mode, you’ll use a deck of hex tiles to match up stretches of fields, cities, waterways, and railroads to complete quests and grow your deck until you run out of tiles. For even less stress, creative mode lets you just build a lovely stretch of tiles any way you like from a neverending deck.
Another cozy game that will only ask several hours of you, Beacon Pines is an adventure inside a story book with a super chill narrator. You’ll earn new words as you explore the town, allowing you to unlock new branches on the story tree in a Mad Libs-like puzzle. This is one I’d consider cozy horror: a mystery about an old factory town where folks are going missing. There aren’t jump scares though, just a creeping sense of dread as young pals Luka and Rolo dig themselves deeper and deeper into the town’s history.
As a cute little bird named Flint you’ll turn a picturesque island into a campers’ paradise. Restore campgrounds, make repairs, solve puzzles, and explore the lovely island, meeting a bunch of quirky characters you can play hide-and-seek and scavenger hunts with. It’s a delightful place to explore with a wholesome story to enjoy. Don’t expect an endless game like Animal Crossing, but just because it’s a short game (I spent about six hours playing) doesn’t make it any less sweet.
If you want a new Stardew-sized time sink, Kynseed is the cozy game to go for. This fairytale-inspired life sim includes farming, fishing, cooking, and no shortage of minigames. You can commit to running a profitable farm or open a shop in town instead. The whole thing takes place across generations as you continue on playing as your own children to carry on the legacy.
Moving house is stressful, but Unpacking is a very chill, light puzzling experience. You’ll start small, organizing toys in a bright kids’ bedroom, later unpacking multiple rooms worth of possessions as the implied main character grows up and the things they’ve kept over the years accumulate or change. That pink stuffed pig deserves your loyalty, to make sure to put it someplace prominent.

Dying in PvP in hardcore mode in Diablo 4 will mean permadeath for that character, Blizzard has confirmed. Before you say “well duh” this is actually a change in hardcore policy, with Blizzard indicating several years ago in interviews that hardcore characters would be exempted from permadeath in PvP (opens in new tab).
The news comes from Blizzard’s global community development director for Diablo 4, Adam Fletcher, who took to social media to answer the question “if you die in [hardcore] PvP, is it permadeath, or..?”
Fletcher goes on to spell it out in the replies: “[Death in] Hardcore means you will have to make a new character.” Hardcore players will be able to opt-out of PvP however. “You can avoid fields of hatred,” notes Fletcher (opens in new tab), the game’s dedicated PvP zones.
I mean, personally speaking, I’ll be choosing to “opt out” of hardcore mode altogether. But it arguably makes sense that, for those who want the real thrill of consequences and that one-shot experience, death should mean death regardless of the scenario. I’ll never go near a Diablo 4 hardcore PvP zone myself, but I can only imagine these kinds of stakes will result in some amazing (and tragic) stories over the years.
We got some more Diablo 4 details over the weekend, including Blizzard’s insistence that this game is “not intended to be played forever.” The next step on Diablo 4’s road to release is what Blizzard insists on calling a “server slam” in May, which features the same location as the previous beta but re-worked according to feedback, and doles out some goodies to players who hit the level 20 cap.

On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we’ve gathered the best PC games (opens in new tab) you can play right now and a running list of the 2023 games (opens in new tab) that are launching this year.
Havendock
Steam page (opens in new tab) Release: April 20 Developer: YYZ Launch price: $15.29 | £12.59 | AU$22.45
Havendock is a “cozy” colony simulator with survival elements just launched into Early Access. As Chris noted (opens in new tab) earlier this year, its development style is interesting: it’s a one-person show, and throughout its beta phase creator Yeo Ying Zhi has conducted one-on-one interviews with players to gain a better sense of its direction. It appears to be going in the right direction: Chris liked what he played, and reviews on Steam are so far “very positive”. The gist of it is this: you’re in charge of founding, growing and managing a settlement in the middle of the sea. There’s plentiful farming, lots of population micro-management, and you’ll often set sail to explore far off lands, all the better to acquire much needed resources. It has the mood of Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing, and there’s even “experimental” multiplayer support.
OTXO
Steam page (opens in new tab) Release: April 21 Developer: Lateralis Heavy Industries Launch price: $13.49 | £10.25 | AU$19.35
OTXO is a Hotline Miami style shooter in a roguelite format. It’s set in an “inexplicable, abstract mansion” which not only explains its roguelite randomization, but also its creepy surrealistic atmosphere, which is supplemented by a grainy black and white art style (the blood is red, don’t worry). While the Hotline Miami influence is apparent, the combat also has a bullet time system which will presumably eliminate some of the tension, though make no mistake: this looks like a tough ride. There are “over 100 abilities”, plentiful door kicking, and lots of on-the-fly customization.
Neon Echo
Steam page (opens in new tab) Release: April 21 Developer: Xinyuan Studio Launch price: $15 | £12.79 | AU$21.95
Neon Echo is a side-scrolling roguelite, so straight away it’s facing some pretty stiff competition. Its chief selling point is how it looks: while a platformer at heart, the graphics are fully 3D and extremely anime. The story follows a gaggle of teenagers who’ve set out to conquer a force responsible for the “noise”, which has blanketed the world in a horrible scree. Three characters (or classes) are available in the current Early Access build, and it’s with one of these that you’ll engage in reflex-oriented combat and platforming with a great surplus of flashy neon effects. Interestingly, the combat has an optional rhythmic element: if your attacks hit the beats, “unexpected changes” will occur to your abilities. This Early Access period is expected to last “at least six months”.
Labyrinth of Zangetsu
Steam page (opens in new tab) Release: April 20 Developer: Acquire Corp, KaeruPanda Inc. Launch price: $27 | £22.49 | AU$39.55
This is an old school, grid-based, first-person dungeon crawler with a striking ink brush art style. Heavily inspired by Japanese mythology, and set during the Ido period, expect to encounter plenty of familiar yokai while edging through the labyrinthine dungeons. You’ve got a full team of conscripts at your disposal, all of which will require fastidious customization, all the better to conquer mythological monsters in turn-based battle. If enjoyed the old Wizardry games or, more recently, Legend of Grimrock, this outing looks like those, but with a distinctly Japanese flavour.
Your Average Bear
Steam page (opens in new tab) Release: April 19 Developer: Your Average Studio Launch price: Free
Here’s a free game that seems to take inspiration from Untitled Goose Game, except you’re not a goose: you’re a bear. And frankly, the amount of mischief a bear can cause seems equal to, if not greater than, the amount a goose can cause. Described as a “stealth comedy”, it’s your job to infiltrate camps and steal food for your new national park companions, to who you have to prove your thievery prowess. Using a special bear food-delivery app (yes: the bear has a phone) the black bear protagonist must fulfil requests using a range of tools. Importantly, you need to avoid being spotted by humans. This is a student project, and it’s in Early Access, but it looks like a whole lot of frivolous fun.

Diablo 3 can be competitive if you play with friends or climb the Greater Rift leaderboards solo. I mostly use Diablo 3 as a form of relaxation though, blasting through rifts each season, sending hundreds upon hundreds of demons to their deaths.
While the campaign is fun, after you hit the level cap Diablo 3 really shines. Once you’ve acquired enough max-level gear to kill enemies with ease, you can sprint through rifts or bounties, destroying everything that stands in your way. It’s satisfying to see your damage increase as you get more gear and tier set pieces, letting you increase the difficulty by another level or two each time.
Diablo 3 can be played with friends, but for me, it’s always been about the solo experience. Even though I enjoy speeding through levels, I don’t want to feel rushed by others. I like to be able to retrace my steps without getting left behind if the familiar chime of a legendary loot drop sounds; I want to be able to take my time and clear an entire map from edge to edge if the urge takes me.
The only companion I need when mowing down demons is the trusty templar and his weirdly comforting Northern English accent. I don’t care what class I’m playing, that man will always be by my side. Dead, more often than not, bless him, but still by my side. Maybe I have a soft spot for him because he sounds a little like Ned Stark. Regardless, he’s my go-to companion and partner in demon-slaying crime.
For me, the fun of Diablo is in the progression. I want to loot drops to make my character more powerful, but simultaneously, I don’t want to lose the excitement of new gear dropping. Once I hit the point where I have to fine-tune my character for minuscule gains, my interest tapers off. My way of playing Diablo 3 might not be the most efficient, but it’s the best way for me to enjoy it.
There’s something relaxing about working through a Diablo 3 map and destroying everything in your path while listening to the soothing classical music of the Diablo soundtrack. You don’t need to think, you just have to mow down the demon hordes. You can go at your own pace, either speeding through levels or clearing out each methodically. Either way, those demons had better watch out—a nephalem and a northerner are coming for them.

In his deep dive on the history of the best immersive sims, Rick Lane called 2014’s Consortium “a dynamic murder mystery that takes place inside a giant military plane” that was “rather rough around the edges”. Some of those edges are about to be sanded smooth, with indie developer Interdimensional Games announcing via Steam blog post (opens in new tab) that it’s developing Consortium Remastered.
“The original Source Engine build of CONSORTIUM has now officially been retired”, Interdimensional Games wrote, before explaining the beta of Consortium Remastered is available to anyone who obtained the original before it was delisted. Here’s how to access it in Steam:
1) Right click on CONSORTIUM 2014 and click “Properties”
2) Click on Betas
3) Enter the following password into the field: 4Owners0fCons0rtium0nly
Consortium’s hook is that you’re basically playing Quantum Leap. You the player are hurled into the year 2024 to take over the body of Bishop Six, an officer in a peacekeeping force called the Consortium who is investigating a murder. The murder took place on a gigantic Consortium command plane called the C-3800-D Zenlil in flight, making this a sky-high locked room whodunnit holding more than 20 NPCs who might have dunnit.
As well as ditching Source for Unreal Engine 4, the remastered version will use an optional speech recognition system called V.O.I.C.E to let players choose dialogue options by saying them out loud. It’s also getting a separate VR version, which is already available in Steam early access (opens in new tab) and on the MetaQuest store (opens in new tab).
A sequel that was crowdfunded on Fig in 2016 called Consortium: The Tower remains in early access. The developer responded to concerns it had abandoned the sequel on the Steam forum (opens in new tab), explaining that it plans to return “full-steam ahead into Phase Two of production for The Tower” after the full release of Consortium VR. “We understand folks thinking this game has been abandoned, and we accept that. This only drives us to get it done and prove you wrong”, the developer wrote.
Consortium Remastered is scheduled for release on Steam (opens in new tab) and GOG later this year.

An Elden Ring (opens in new tab) player player has knocked out the game’s most difficult boss on its highest difficulty, New Game+7, in a mere 15 seconds. The speed kill was completed by RS_Lionheart (opens in new tab), and takes down Malenia by just… walking in and beating the absolute crap out of her.
Using an extensive suite of damage-boosting effects in a buff-up routine that takes about 45 seconds of the entire video, something like three times as long as the fight itself, RS_Lionheart knocks out Malenia in an impressive 15.7 seconds. In the words of Malenia herself: “Your strength, extraordinary…”
RS_Lionheart’s 15-second kill got a lot of attention when posted over on Reddit (opens in new tab), where it inspired a lot of commentary. Such gems as “I would have died and retried 3 times in the amount of time it took you to apply the buffs” and “Ok, so I’m halfway there: I actually manage to end the fight after 15 seconds consistently. Now how do I win?”
Another player, jdyhrberg (opens in new tab), was then inspired to take down Malenia in 10 seconds (opens in new tab) using a build based on RS_Lionheart’s—though that takedown was at NG+1, so it’s not a candidate to break Lionheart’s time.
RS_Lionheart’s Malenia-killing build made use of a lot—a whole lot—of buffs synergized together into big piles. You can find a full list in a Reddit comment (opens in new tab), but the short version is… Frenzyflame Stone, Black Dumpling helm, Golden Vow, Cerulean Flask, Cragblade on the left hand, Bloodboil Aromatic, Mushroom Crown, another Cerulean Flask, Physick of Thorny Cracked Tear and Stonebarb Cracked Tear, self-inflicted poison via Roped Fetid Pots, Kindred of Rot’s Exultation, White Mask, then a nice Seppuku with Lord of Blood’s Exultation, then Red-Feathered Branchsword and Claw Talisman, then Cragblade again but on the other weapon this time. That’s on top of the things RS_Lionheart says the real damage comes from: Millicent’s Prosthesis, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and Thorny Cracked Tear, which all stack together “to boost successive attack damage.”
I didn’t need to list all of that out, but honestly wanted to just because of how hysterically in-depth and well-researched it is, and all timed down to the second so that it’s still in effect as the fight starts.
Watching the video, however, the best tip for us mere mortals is that you can knock Malenia out of her flying just before Waterfowl Dance with a tossed frost pot. Very useful trick if you’ve never tried it.

The solution may contain repeat letters.
There’s no time pressure beyond making sure it’s done by midnight. So there’s no reason not to treat the game like a casual newspaper crossword and come back to it later if you’re coming up blank.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it’s up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.
You’ll want to start with a strong word (opens in new tab) like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
You’ll want your second go to compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer.
After that it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab), as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle (opens in new tab), refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures (opens in new tab). Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Boundary is a game about astronauts—sorry, astroperators—who float around in space having gunfights with each other, and if space sounds like a challenging place for shooting guns at people, you’d be right. Space is really not the ideal location for anything humans do, nevermind tactical infantry battles, but it is quite a lot of fun.
Boundary released in early access on Steam (opens in new tab) a week ago, and has so far earned a “Mostly Positive” rating from user reviewers. I’ve been occupied with the XDefiant beta, so I haven’t put a ton of time into Boundary, but I’ve played enough to say that I also feel mostly positive about it.
It’s got your typical FPS modes, such as team deathmatch, a domination point-capture mode, and a no-respawn TDM. The presentation reminds me a little of Fractured Space, a cool ship combat game that sadly shut down in 2018. The graphics aren’t mind blowing, but the crisp white light of space’s vacuum almost always looks great in games, doesn’t it?
WASD propels you through space in the usual directions, Space and Ctrl move you up and down, and Shift boosts. It isn’t like Asteroids, where you have to manually thrust in the direction opposite to your movement to stop—you come to rest automatically, simplifying movement so that the game isn’t primarily about tapping thrusters off and on like Lunar Lander. Also, firing a sniper rifle does not send you tumbling backwards end over end. As funny as it would be, I’m not sure Boundary would be fun if it simulated all the reasons gun battles in space aren’t wise.
Lots of real space problems are represented, though. It can be tough to spot enemies, since they can be in any direction, and are wearing white fabric while floating around the exteriors of white space stations, so target marking plays an essential role. The sound design is great. Nearby gunfire is faintly audible for playability’s sake, but otherwise just about everything you can hear sounds like it’s caused by the vibrations of something touching your suit. Your suit can be torn by hits that don’t kill you, too, requiring you to hold F to patch it up (just like real astronauts do when they’re shot at).
It’s sort of like a shooter where no-clipping outside the level is encouraged. You can run around inside space station bits, or go “outside” and shove off into the blackness of space. Lobbing sniper rounds across the map is fun, but if you float too far away from cover, you’re easy to spot against the blackness of space and a sitting duck for lock-on rockets. (Maybe they should make black space suits for tactical soldiers?)

Boundary is $25 at its normal early access price (it’s on sale for $22.49 at the moment) but the price will increase after the full release. The developers expect it to stay in early access for six months to a year.
It strikes me as the kind of game Morgan was talking about the other day when he said that cool, fun multiplayer games should be able to exist without being enormous live service phenomena. I don’t think Boundary is the next FPS megahit, but I dig it.
One area it could improve is the English translation—Boundary is made by a small Chinese studio called Surgical Scalpels—but I don’t really mind earning “assissts.” That’s just space-talk, maybe.
