I’ve only ever had to call emergency services once in my life, when an elderly neighbour had a bad fall down her back stairs, and the ambulance arrived in a timely fashion. This is not how it goes in 911 Operator, a frantic simulation of the difficulty of dispatching paramedics, police, and fire fighters while…
Just in time for Halloween. Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games have announced a new “October Update” for the horror-themed puzzle-platformer, Little Nightmares III.

It takes a village to make a videogame, and there’s no one way to do it. Solo devs and quintuple-A studios alike face all sorts of challenges trying to make all a game’s moving parts cohere, and the more cooks you add to the kitchen, the more different design philosophies are bound to conflict.

Escape From Duckov might look like a goofy riff on Escape From Tarkov, and that’s because it is one. But it’s also a righteous way to breathe in the extraction shooter hype without all the hardcore PvP, and players are flocking to give it a shot. Today on Oct. 26, that number hit a screaming…
