iOS 17 was launched in September, just a week after the Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled its iPhone 15 series, and the new devices packed this new software.

The performance director of Baldur's Gate 3 has revealed that she had a real-life enemies-to-lovers storyline with Shadowheart, and it's actually so sweet.

It's sometimes surprising just how much creativity can accomplish in , but it's also possible for a unique strategy to be just a little bit too effective. Some classic tricks can be a little silly, like tossing a bundle of rope onto a poison vent to block it completely, but justify their inclusion by adding to the fun of strategizing and exploring mechanics.

October's wave of new releases has begun in earnest now, with Assassin's Creed Mirage launching at the end of last week. It climbed near the top of the UK's boxed games chart, making a number two debut behind the predictably popular EA Sports FC 24.

may be a long experience, but developer Larian Studios found some smart ways to make it engaging across the full course of its runtime.
