There Are No Good Games

PHP shipped an emergency patch for two critical remote-code-execution flaws, roughly 22 million servers were sitting exposed, and a European government pulled its own website offline. Meanwhile Steam Next Fest turned into 8,000 demos of AI slop — and the most fun we had all month was a MOBA Blizzard stopped updating six years ago.

Heroes of the Storm is back. We have feelings about that.

We finished the WoW Forever beta. Our characters get deleted on November 4th, the new season hasn’t started, and there is officially nothing to do — so this episode is about the gap, and what you’re supposed to play in it.

Ollie’s back from RuneFest with a full report, and has spent the dead weeks living in a condemned Finnish tenement block. One of us is handling the off-season better than the other.

Blizzard spent BlizzCon 2026 announcing how World of Warcraft ends and, twenty minutes later, announcing that it starts again. Ollie and Tristan go through everything from the show — and give their first honest read on the WoW Forever beta, which has been live since September 17th.

Launch is November 4th. Your beta character is not coming with you.

Tell us in the comments: Classic+ done right, or a reskin with a bigger quest log?

Kojima's gone to Xbox, NoPixel finally pushed 5.0, and somebody out there is building a war sim that covers the entire continent of Europe. Ollie and Tristan work out which of these is actually a big deal and which one we'll have forgotten by Christmas.

There are no good games. There is, however, a lot to argue about

We've got a Patreon now, which means you can finally pay money to hear two men argue about nothing. This week: Cabinet Clash returns, we recap what a game jam actually does to a person, the GTA 6 leaks somehow keep coming, and we get into the strange new genre of games where the entire pitch is cleaning up someone else's mess. Slop, but make it tidy.Support the show:https://www.patreon.com/cw/Dungeoneers_Tavern

GTA 6 apparently has no multiplayer, Microsoft is still cutting studios, and we

are back after a break we're not going to explain.

This episode: Splatoon Raiders, a Final Fantasy XIV situation, Skyrim roleplay

that got away from us, Donkey Kong 64, Halo: Combat Evolved, the Microsoft

layoffs, Bethesda and the state of game studios, No Man's Sky, GTA 6's missing

multiplayer, and a cinema culture tangent we stand by.

In this episode of There Are No Good Games, Tristan and Ollie tackle the eternal wait for Silksong, dive into the world of roguelike with Cult of the Lamb leading the charge), and then go completely off the rails with a discussion about betting it all on Umamusume.
