We haven’t posted much about twin-stick shooter slash base-building survival game The Riftbreaker since its 2021 launch, but fans of butchering hordes of bad bugs and nasty monsters with either a carefully-constructed network of defensive guns and/or your giant mobile killer mech suit have enjoyed a few years of expansions and major updates since then….
Even after a standout AGDQ showing, prolific Baldur’s Gate 3 speedrunner Mae shows no signs of pumping the brakes any time soon. Building on the strategies shown off at AGDQ, the runner brought BG3’s all-acts world record under 20 minutes before zipping through the megahard permadeath Honour mode in 21:17 for another world record the…
Indie action platformer Anomaly Agent released this week, giving players a chance to be a funky-fresh secret agent battling his way through a cyberpunk world. It’s the kind of slick and quick and smooth, yet very methodical, action that has gotten pretty popular in the last few years. Early players are comparing Anomaly Agent to…
Now unlocked by a new patch. The Saturn is home to some amazing shooters, one of which is Kingdom Grand Prix (known as Shippuu Mahou Daisakusen Kingdom-Grandprix in Japan), a unique title which mixes shmup action with a racing theme. Developed for arcades in 1994 by Raizing, the game would be ported to Sega Saturn…
Palworld has absolutely taken the real, non-pal world by storm, but no matter how big the survival crafting Pokémon brutality engine gets, I’m staying in my bunker to play crusty CRPGs from 1998 until the storm clears. Studio Pocketpair’s next game, Never Grave: The Witch and the Curse, might be a little bit more my…
Upgrading Sega’s 32-bit powerhouse. Released at the close of 1994 in Japan, Sega’s 32-bit Saturn promised so much; the company had conquered 3D in the arcades, and this was the system that would bring that dominance to the home. Unfortunately for Sega, Sony had other ideas, and its PlayStation console would utterly eclipse all rivals,…
“!”. Update: We’ve given this list a sneaky tidy-up to ensure we’re recommending only the very best stealth games on Nintendo Switch. We’ve also added two brand-new entries — Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and the newly released Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal. For all the gun-blazing, whip-cracking, all-out action, and mayhem there is…
You could make a convincing argument that Steam sensation Palworld shouldn’t exist, but you don’t have to—the game’s creator has already made that argument himself. Not because it’s controversial, though it is that—the bizarre mash-up of sandbox survival and perverse reimagining of catching ‘em all has been accused of copying Pokémon models and using AI…
Silent Hill 3 can be considered a fitting end to the original trilogy, showing how far the series has come. It is actually a canonical sequel to the first game, making the Silent Hill 2 more like a spin-off game that can stand on its own. Released just two years after Silent Hill 2, the…
From SG-1000 to the Dreamcast, which one got your vote? While Sega is no longer actively involved in creating video game hardware, there was a time when it was one of the most important console makers in the world. In its epic ’90s battle with Nintendo, Sega created some of the most exciting pieces of…
