The End is Nigh is effectively an unofficial sequel to Super Meat Boy: it’s a reflex-oriented platformer with quick deaths, quick respawns and very dark humour. Protagonist Ash “flops his way through a future of pain and suffering” in search of a friend whose body parts are spread around a spike-filled hellscape. Collectibles are tumours….
As reflected by my 2025 Steam Replay, I poured a lot of time into Bongo Cat last year. So when someone said, ‘What if Bongo Cat, with knives,’ you best believe I was intrigued. That is, essentially, the premise for Tap Tap Loot, a cute and significantly more violent clicker game that’s rolled out a…
Path of Exile 2 spoiled me with all the things about it that feel like a modern videogame. Even though it’s extremely similar in a lot of ways, Path of Exile 1 had me fighting against all the fussy parts of it that have gathered dust over the years. Part of the reason developer Grinding…

Resident Evil 2 Remake had the tough job of living up to the highest of expectations when it released in 2019, and outside the fixed camera purists there aren’t many people who’d say Capcom failed to deliver. It’s still the tense, eerie journey through the RPD and beyond that we all remember, but Leon and…
Software engineer Sammy Azdoufal had a humble goal: He wanted to control his robot vacuum with a PS5 gamepad, because controlling things with a gamepad is cool. Shortly after pursuing that dream, however, Azdoufal found he had gained control of over 7,000 robots that were happy to provide him camera feeds and floor plans of…
Something I love about videogames is the way that a single line of patch notes can have a disproportionate butterfly effect on millions of sessions. This little sentence, part of today’s Shrouded Sky update, will alter the fate and behavior of countless raiders: Wolfpack – Added Rocketeer Driver as a crafting cost. The Wolfpack is…
If you dig boomer shooters (or any kind of shooter, really), you might just dig the new Boomer Shooter Blueprint collection rolled out today by Digiphile. It’s a collection of seven old-school shooters, some of which I can attest are very good, for just $17, a portion of which will go to support the Whale…
The Shrouded Sky update has arrived in Arc Raiders, and Embark is throwing us a curveball. Today’s patch introduced a hurricane map condition, two new Arc enemies, and some meaningful balancing changes, but the masterminds in Sweden snuck something else in, too.
