Like many others that have come before it, One Move Away derives its satisfaction from handing a bunch of stuff to players and asking them to neatly solve it. And in the same way that Unpacking uses this as a storytelling medium, One Move Away utilises each of its scenarios to tell the story of…
Saturday, Behaviour Interactive revealed the latest playable killer coming to asymmetrical PvP game Dead by Daylight: Jason Voorhees. If that has you wondering, ‘How was he not in that game already?’, you’re not alone. In a press release, Horror Inc. executive VP Robbie Barsamian said Friday the 13th fans have been waiting for this collaboration…
I’m a little bit behind on this one—it launched last week—but Phonopolis, the new game from Amanita Design, is out, and as a longtime fan of the studio I am very pleased to say that so far, it’s pretty great. I say “so far” because I haven’t yet finished Phonopolis, and it’s always possible that…
Life simmers have been chronically bored for years—so much so that asking “how do you keep Sims 4 interesting for yourself?” is a bit of a cliché. My theory is that life sims need to be harder, or at the very least get back in touch with the strategy roots that made The Sims so…
Pay peanuts. We don’t remember the Snoopy storyline where Charlie Brown and co. end up in a legal copyright battle, but that’s exactly what’s happening at the moment.

It’s a charming experience filled with wonder and imagination, but thanks to the repetitive, overly-simplified structure, that imagination is never afforded enough space to really shine. I tolerated this, however, and had a good time discovering the…
Like looking in a Miirror. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream sales have got off to a strong start in its first month on the market, so it was only a matter of time before knock-offs started cropping up. We’re used to seeing all manner of clones on the eShop and other digital storefronts, with their…
The Dishonored games were a treat for old-time stealth sickos in part because they cleaved so closely to Thief, the greatest example of the genre. in fact, when it came time to give voice to Corvo Attano in Dishonored 2, Arkane chose Stephen Russell for the job, the man behind the iconic voice of Thief…
We live in complex geopolitical times. I think. I’ll be honest, I’ve not been paying attention. But it’s recently become known to me that a little strip of water called the Strait of Hormuz has—like a wavepool they had to shut down due to a urine crisis—shut up shop. This has caused a great deal…
