Today’s Xbox Games Showcase gave us a new look at Gears of War: Reloaded, the remake of the 2006 original that kickstarted the series and made good on all of Xbox 360’s HD promises. I don’t particularly follow Gears but I have a lot of love for the first game in the series, which was…
Morbid Metal, a game developed by Screen Juice and published by Ubisoft, is brave enough to ask the question: Okay, but what if we made a roguelike where you could play every character at once? As featured on the PC Gaming Show 2025, Morbid Metal is a roguelike that lets you control a violence-polycule of…
Dear reader, I regret to either infantilise you (or make you feel your age), but there was indeed a time before streaming services and on-demand-binging—where, if you didn’t have cable, you were stuck at the whims of (shudder) whatever happened to be on at the time. Blippo+ seems to recreate the Lovecraftian fear that must’ve…
I’ve already said my piece on Mycopunk as it exists before launch. This is co-op FPS goodness in its best form: fast, funny, fungal, a little stupid, and not a roguelike. There’s a demo that you should absolutely convince a few friends to play with you right now. Once you do that, come back and…
In an interview with Edge Magazine earlier this year, Vampire Survivors creator Luca Galente said that, prior to launching the overnight sensation that wound up spawning its very own genre, he almost gave up on game development. Vampire Survivors, he admitted, was the first game he’d made just for fun. And fun, he surmised, would…
Famously, Benjamin Franklin once remarked—in a 1789 letter to Jean-Baptiste Le Roy—that “In this world nothing is certain, except Berserk or Die.” He was right. Featured during the PC Gaming Show 2025, Berserk or Die is an absurd, manic, and absurdly manic retro-style slice of chaos where your goal is to absolutely wild out on…
I’ve been waiting a long time for more Endless Legend, and we’ve got some good news from the PC Gaming Show 2025. Endless Legend 2, Amplitude’s sci-fi-fantasy 4X, is hitting early access soon. On August 7, 2025, to be precise. The initial early access build will include four factions, both old and new faces, which…
You would’ve thought the situation in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide—demon-worshipping, diseased cultists infesting an entire hive city, a full regiment of Imperial Guard turned traitor, and mutants running amok, while the Inquisition barely stem the tide with wave after wave of cannon fodder—was a bit beyond the intervention of the local police force. But apparently developer…
The latest game from QWOP and Getting Over It developer Bennett Foddy, an individual I’ve come to regard as something between a trickster deity and biblical tormentor, Baby Steps is the opposite of a power fantasy. You play as Nate, “an unemployed failson with nothing going for him”—the Steam page’s words, not mine—who’s been warped…
As a long-time Anno enjoyer and a basic boy obsessed with the Roman Empire, I am smack bang in the middle of Anno 117: Pax Romana’s target demographic, so it’s good to know that the new city builder has a release date that’s not too far into the future. As revealed during the PC Gaming…
