Initially released as a PC exclusive, the first installment in The Witcher franchise never made it to one of the home consoles. Despite being met with a positive response, CD Projekt Red's take on Andrzej Sapkowski's popular saga had its flaws and could not compete with other AAA titles at the time.

Fortunately, the mod community offers several solutions that make the first Witcher entry playable in 2022.

I'm not sure why, but I vastly prefer M&M blobber-types to Wizardry. I always have. It may just be the more whimsical and colorful style of the early MM's. Bane of the Cosmic Forge is the only Wizardry game that I completed more that once. I did play DW Bradley's Wizards and Warriors through several times back in the day though.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactical deck-building role-playing game made by the creators of tactical masterpiece XCOM. Now you would assume that XCOM itself influenced the game, but when they tried to mesh the two,Creative Director Jake Solomon found it “doesn't make sense at all�. So where did the team get the inspiration and building blocks for the game? How about Dragon Ball fighterz, Slay the spire, Fire emblem,Into The Breach, Persona, Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer? Each of these rather different games and series contributed to different aspects of Midnight Suns.

Will Diablo Immortal be able to do that? We certainly hope so. It's not impossible, that's for sure. But it's going to be very, very hard. Right now, after widespread review bombing, the game is sitting at a user score of 0.5 on Metacritic, which is the second-lowest Metacritic user score for a Blizzard game to date, second only to World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic (which sits at a 0.4).

Hell, Diablo Immortal is even rated lower by users than the disaster that was Warcraft 3: Reforged (0.6, in case you're curious). Clearly, if Blizzard does want to turn this ship around, there's going to be a lot of work that'll need to be done. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but right now, there's little doubt that the situation, in a word, is hellish.
