I don’t think about 2019’s sidescrolling cyberpunk samurai action game Katana Zero too often, but any time I do the thought is: “Damn that really was some excellent sidescrolling cyberpunk samurai action; I should replay it.” My excuse to do so is finally almost here, because the free DLC that developer Askiisoft has been working…
French game developer Sloclap is known for martial arts games Absolver and Sifu, both of which are very good in my estimation. I also love competitive (car) soccer game Rocket League. So I’m pretty excited for the combination of these things: Rematch, a 5v5 competitive soccer game from Sloclap. Rematch will be out on June…

It’s hard not to be eager for The Alters, the scifi survival game from Frostpunk developer 11 Bit Studios that our Joshua Wolens once described as “Subnautica plus Midnight Suns except instead of Wolverine and Blade you’re juggling your relationships with several clones of a working class Polish guy.” With a pitch like that—and a…
During today’s Triple-i Initiative stream, developer Coldblood Inc. shared a first look at its upcoming horror life sim, Neverway. It’s the debut game from a studio co-founded by Celeste pixel artist Pedro Medeiros, with a soundtrack from Hyper Light Drifter composer Disasterpeace.

One of my favourite movie tales concerns Marathon Man, a 1976 thriller starring Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier.
