When last we heard from Crosswind, the survival sandbox wearing a pirate hat while possibly suffering from scurvy and smelling absolutely rancid (we mean the pirates, not the game itself or the devs at Crosswind Crew), it was from the floor of Gamescom as its producer discussed its mechanics and its ensmallened size from the […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/10/25

Forget Dracula: Massively OP’s MJ is not even sure she can best any of the remaining bosses in V Rising after the big changes. PvE especially was bashed with a massive nerf bat, making combat much harder than it was before. Can MJ and her friends work past the issues and find a new rhythm […]

2025/10/25

Here at Massively OP, we often talk about that “sticky” factor in relation to MMORPGs. What makes one game more enticing and appealing that it won’t only attract a person but cause them to stick around?

So it turns out we are not past Past Fate, but its early access is not in the past; it’s in the future! But the game is set in the past. Look, the important part is that early access is kicking off in December and also it is sometimes very difficult to write an introductory sentence. […]

Depresso Espresso. It’s not a coffee drink you have when you’re attempting to mentally push through your ennui; it’s Palworld’s latest merchandising creation, which brings the survival sandbox’s sad boi and the beverage powder maker Madrinas together to craft a cold brew coffee collector’s box of the same name.

If you have even passing knowledge of the sense of humor that runs through AdventureQuest 3D, it will not surprise you to know that the developers love Halloween.

Riot Games’ unnamed MMORPG may be one of the biggest hopes that this industry has to bring out a next-gen title, hence our continued hunt for whatever scraps of info we might get out of the studio.
