Sounds like fun - I was thinking of buying cardboard version but no where to store !

Diablo Immortal releases June 2!

What is that, again? I saw the alert, I just didnā€™t have a clue what it was.
Just Diablo on IOS?

Yeah. Itā€™s a new game made for iOS but it looks like it is going to be super polished. Iā€™m sure there will be some f2p shenanigans but im hoping for the best.

Your resilience after the past few years inspires me.

Well, Blizzard is still an unknown on mobile so they can surprise me. Iā€™d rather pay $20 for a premium Diablo game, but Iā€™ll willing to give it a shot as is.

Immortal will be a cross-platform game. will be on PC too.
you can start a session on desktop/laptop and can switch to mobile anytime.
or the other way round.

Thought this one was predominantly developed by Netease for Blizzard.

Pc players are going to rip this game to shreds if itā€™s cross platform with mobile. This is going to be review bombed to dust

That wouldnā€™t be the first controversy with this game.
Look up ā€œDonā€™t you guys have phones?ā€

This backlash had a huge impact on some game devs and the wider game development community in general which had still planned for ā€œpremium games on mobileā€ back then and indirectly led to several layoffs, including nearly a third of the staff of my most beloved western game studio.

Ravensburger just released Labyrinth on iOS.

Iā€™m not sold on this one. It is $7 with 4 additional board that you can purchase for $2-3 each. The screenshots look like decade-old 3D. The only multiplayer is local.

Iā€™m a sucker for just about any board game made digital but there isnā€™t much here to sell me on Labyrinth. It might be good for a kidā€™s iPad, but this one may sit in my watch list until it goes on sale for much cheaper.

I foolishly grabbed it but do hate that the German and Japanese game modes are identical, just different cultural skins. I also dislike the lack of any sort of stat tracking.

I am really tempted, I have considered buying it for the family many times, but I think with my daughter able to play games like Gizmos and Everdell, this would be too simple. But an ios version is tempting to try it out.

Read Labyrinth and was like WHOA HOWā€™D I MISS THAT and then read Ravensburger and was oh thatā€™s how I missed that.

While Iā€™m still not convinced I like the game, I still go back to Labyrinth: TWOT from time to time if you want to get another game going on Steam!

Awesome! The guy I had a regular game with just wanted to take a break so Iā€™d love to get another going. Any preference on setup or side?

Really enjoying Zach Gageā€™s new word puzzle game.

Root just updated on iOS with a new expansion. Iā€™m still downloading but I am hoping it adds the other two armies.
