In brief: There have been some amazing and po[CENSORED]r games on Steam, but the platform’s most-played titles have barely changed since 2015. A new animation, which charts the daily player count of Steam games over the last four years, illustrates the lasting appeal of some titles. The animation's timeline begins on January 1, 2015, and ends on December 31, 2018. It originally appeared as a five-minute video on TheRankings’ YouTube channel, and has been turned into a minute-long gfycat gif by user TheKarmaFiend. It might not come as a surprise to see DOTA 2 in the number one spot for much of the time, with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in second place. This was the case up until August 2017, at which point PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which arrived in Early Access during March that year, shot to the top spot. Some other games that move around the top 15 over the years include older titles such as Team Fortress 2, GTA V, and Garry’s Mod. Rocket League, Warframe, and ARK: Survival Evolved have also proved continually po[CENSORED]r since being released. Former PC Gamer journalist turned game creator Tom Francis shared the chart on Twitter. Interestingly, DOTA 2’s player numbers started increasing near the end of 2018, though PUBG stopped it from regaining the top spot. Looking at today’s player count, however, shows the MOBA is back in the number one position, with a peak of over one million players in the last 24 hours. PUBG’s most recent peak, meanwhile, is 855,382—could the likes of Apex Legends and Fortnite be eroding its player base?

What the hell is this? Really dude you need to make a topic just for this, who really want leave of a thing, he goes without saying anything! T/C !

In brief: Dark mode is available as of writing in the latest version of Messenger on Android and iOS. To unlock it, you’ll need to send a crescent moon emoji in any Messenger chat which will then prompt you to enable it. It’s a weird approach to introduce a new feature although admittedly, it’s a clever way to get users chatting and boost engagement – even if only temporarily. Facebook launched an overhauled version of its Messenger application back in October. In addition to decluttering the app, Facebook promised a dark mode was in the cards. Now more than four months later, the feature has finally arrived. Messenger’s dark mode is designed to be easy on the eyes by switching the app’s background from white to black. It maintains contrast and vibrancy, Facebook said, while simultaneously reducing glare for improved use in low light environments. Dark mode is the latest feature to make its way to the po[CENSORED]r messaging app. Last month, Facebook added an unsend feature, allowing users to retract messages from chat logs within 10 minutes of sending them. The feature was derived from an unadvertised ability that CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously had. Facebook plans to properly introduce dark mode through a permanent option in the setting in the coming weeks.

Something to look forward to: A proper Pokemon RPG is coming to the Switch. Today, Nintendo announced Pokemon Sword and Shield, set to release in fall 2019. The eighth generation game will follow the maligned Pokemon Let's Go games released for the Switch in 2019, and will fulfill the demand of Switch gamers for a "real" Pokemon game for the console. The next generation of Pokemon, generation eight, is finally here. This morning, Nintendo announced the upcoming Pokemon Sword and Shield, to be released in the fall. Sword and Shield will be the first "core" games in the series to appear on a console, and answer fans' demand for a proper Pokemon RPG on the Switch. Pokemon Let's Go, released in 2018, was a re-imagining of Pokemon Yellow and was criticized for its lack of difficulty and limited appeal. As usual, there will be two distinct games with slight differences between the two. The first trailer of the games shows cel-shading and three-dimensional graphics, and looks better than any Pokemon game to date. The game is set to take place in a new region, Galar, with a wide array of new Pokemon. Among the newcomers are the three starters: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. Apparently after eight generations, names are becoming more difficult to conjure up. The most recent generation of the core RPG, Pokemon Sun and Moon, was released in 2016. The "Ultra" version of those games followed later that year. Aside from the Let's Go series of games, this will be the first Pokemon RPG release in three years.

Bienvenido!

Every now and then, a developer comes out with a game so good that it gains critical acclaim by the industry and shapes it moving forward. Remember Flappy Bird? It wasn’t a complicated game at all (from a technical point of view) but it gained so much traction in the industry that even the developer could not handle it and pulled it from the stores. The same can be said about Monument Valley, by ustwo games, a puzzle game that combines so many good elements on different levels that you are left wondering why does the developer is asking just $3.99 for it. It is easily the best puzzle game in the Play Store, and probably one of the best mobile games ever created. Seriously, I am not exaggerating. Developer: ustwo games Price: $3.99 Setup You can see the philosophy of this game right from the beginning. You don’t get a conventional tutorial or anything. You get thrown right into this world and, after a couple of minutes, you will get the hang of the controls. If you tap somewhere and Ida is able to move there, then she will. There are also several elements that you can interact with, but I will not spoil the fun for you. After finishing this very easy introductory level, which is actually Stage 1, you will get to the game itself, and then the fun starts for real. Overview The game will take you to the stage selection, which features a very nice spinning portal with the ten available levels. Yes, there are only ten levels in the game, but more on that later. Even the stage selection screen is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen, if not precisely functional. Entering a level is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. Although every level has (obviously) the same art direction and chill vibe attached to it, they’re very different from each other. Each one has its own unique setting and mood. From dark, eerie environments to gleeful, yellow tinted backgrounds, there’s no level that feels the same to another. These levels are called monuments, and it’s all part of a background story. The fact that the game actually has a story, something that is so rarely seen these days on mobile games (and even on some console games), is worthy to mention (if a bit sad, since it says a lot about the current state of mobile game development). Don’t expect something ground-breaking, though. There’s only so much you can tell in a couple of hours with very few interaction between characters. However, it is still nice to have a story to follow through, and not just wander aimlessly without any explanation of what is going on and what are we doing here. The stage selection screen is very innovative. Along the way, said characters will help you understand what is going on. However, most of the time you’re going to be cracking down these puzzles and just being in awe about even the smallest aspects have been thought of and executed in an admirable way. Your mission is always to reach a goal at the top of these monuments. When this happens, Ida places a geometric object on top of it and clears the stage. Monument Valley is not like common games in this day and age, in which you earn coins, orbs, gems, or similar, in order to buy in-game stuff and move forward, so you won’t actually win any kind of in-game currency. Rather, the developer is focused on giving you the best possible experience. If I had to choose my favorite part of this game, then it would be this lack of “pay-to-win” strategies that has plagued the store these days. General Impressions As you go through each stage, they get bigger and more complicated, with Ida “learning” new stuff (such as walking sideways) and new ways of interacting with the environment. Elements such as the crow people are introduced in later levels to spice things up. At first, the puzzles are easy, but, as you progress through the game, you have to think more deeply about your next move. There’s no timer, score, or anything related to competition. This game is meant to be as relaxing as possible while providing a decent challenge, and that goal is fulfilled in a superb manner. Part of the challenge comes from the fact that you have to play around with the positioning of the world elements and your character in order to progress. Once you figure out things, you will see how clever puzzles are, and it is rewarding to figure out what it is needed to do in order to progress. The only bad thing that could be said about this game is how short it is. Sure, it is a great experience that feels very polished, and probably generating these ten levels took an insane amount of time, but, when finishing the game, you still have this “I want more” feeling. It’s a shame that the game is not longer but probably the game developer had to choose between shipping it in its current state or spending more money and time developing it, and thus increase the asking price. Graphics and Sound In case you haven’t noticed yet, graphics are by far the most impressive aspect of this game.They are not flashy or cutting-edge, but they way they have been done is what makes this game special and unique. As previously said, each level has its own unique character and setting. Animations are extremely fluid and meticulous, while Ida’s movements are limited but fluid. Notable is the attention to detail by the developer, which can be easily seen thanks to the intricacies of each stage. This game is proof that you don’t need Need for Speed or Modern Combat graphics to create a visually appealing game. Sure, those games look outstanding and it is sometimes even hard to believe that they’re being rendered by a mobile phone, but Monument Valley manages to look absolutely superb with its charming approach to graphic design. Regarding sound, it tries to maintain the same tone set by the graphics and gameplay. Soothing music and simple sound effects are all you will hear in Monument Valley, and they do a superb job in not disrupting what is achieved by the other elements of the game. Conclusion Sometimes, a game comes that completely changes the gaming landscape. Super Mario 64, Pokemon Red & Blue, Metal Gear Solid, GTA: San Andreas, and Minecraft come to my mind as revolutionary games on consoles, while Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans, Pokémon Go, and Temple Run could be equivalent in terms of impact on the industry. I can confidently say that Monument Valley can be added to this list, thanks to its relaxing vibe, massive attention to detail and satisfying puzzles. While short, this game is easily one of the best games ever released for a mobile device, and one that every person even remotely interested in gaming should experience.
