To me, Gord will never not be a very weird name for a videogame. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad videogame, and in fact based on the new gameplay trailer released today, Gord looks like it might be very cool—if not entirely pleasant.
We predicted that unpleasantness when we got our first look at Gord in 2021. "Horrible things are going to happen to your villagers," we warned, adding that being eaten by a giant spider might not even be the worst of them. We got a closer look in September 2022, describing it as "a Diablo town manager," and if you know anything about the towns in Diablo you'll know that's bad news too.
