Constance craving. The idea of an indie Metroidvania exploring mental illness has become a bit of a cliche. The past decade has seen successes in the genre like the Hollow Knight and Ori games, as well as titles like Celeste that manifest their main character’s mental journey through their mechanics. Constance owes a lot to…
FOV 90 (Image credit: Future) Welcome to FOV 90, an FPS column from staff writer Morgan Park. Every other week, I cover topics relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new. It only took 90 minutes with S&box (pronounced “sandbox”) to learn what many closed beta…
Less than two months after the 1.0 release of Greedfall: The Dying World, French RPG studio Spiders is closing its doors. The surprise shutdown is fallout from the financial troubles of parent company Nacon, which filed for insolvency in February after its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, was unable to meet its own financial obligations. The…
Mewgenics is easily my favourite game of 2026 so far—in fact, I gave it 92% in our review. I love its emergent storytelling, its chaotic build-crafting, and its incredible depth. What I wouldn’t claim, however, is that it’s perfectly balanced. It’s always been clear that certain classes are behind the curve while others are endlessly…
Epic has made Easy Anti-Cheat a requirement to play Rocket League online, hopefully bringing an end to the era of bots whizzing around in high rank matches and endlessly XP farming. The software comes as part of the game’s latest update, and does include an option to play the game offline without EAC running. The…
Oh sure, we’d love to see some RTX 50-series Super variant graphics cards. Or a huge crop of OLED monitors for reasonable prices. But I feel confident in saying that, in a relatively slow year for hardware releases so far, nothing is going to top this TI-84 Evo graphing calculator. I mean, it’s magnificent. Not…
My heart sank a little lower than usual today as Otherside Entertainment announced that Thick as Thieves, the stealth-focused heist game set to arrive in May, will launch with a regular, undiscounted, all-day every-day price of $5/£5/€5. This bothers me, first of all, because despite the absolute embarrassment of Underworld Ascendant, I’ve been holding out…
Arc Raiders’ latest update, Riven Tides, brought a ton of new arcs, patches, and gadgets to the extraction shooter, and while most of the changes have gone over well with players there is one part that’s proving a little difficult to get a handle on: the powered descender. This is a new epic gadget which…
Get ready to Run! Today, our team at Play by Play Studios is excited to drop our first gameplay trailer and to let PlayStation fans know NBA The Run will be releasing this June. Play Video Today, we wanted to break down some different parts of the game fans have been asking about, so let’s…
Slay the Spire 2 has been one of those roguelike time vampires in recent weeks, for me—in between my usual binges of larger games, I tend to vanish into this genre for a bleary-eyed 80 hours because I can simply rinse and repeat, rather than having to worry about long-term narratives or complicated RPG systems….
