Blood Vial, a self-described “retro-inspired micro-FPS” that hit Steam earlier this week, is a lot like Splatoon—except instead of starring charming squid teens swimming through the ink spread by their paintguns, you play as a leaky, gun-toting vampire diving through the freshly-spilled gore of murderous pseudo-Catholics on a blood-soaked quest for revenge. So, really, it’s…

Which was something of a bittersweet event for its devs at Double Eleven, who…
Mouse pads are admittedly something I don’t tend to think about too much. If it feels good under the palm and doesn’t become a hindrance to my movement, I’ll continue using it. But, alas, I’m not a pro, and it turns out they get through some of the best gaming mouse pads like an actual…
Prokop Jirsa didn’t plan for any of this. “There was no 10-year plan to become the lead designer or director,” says the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead designer and one of two recently-anointed creative directors at the game’s maker, Warhorse Studios. “Never.

Veins of Iron was first unveiled just over two weeks ago on YouTube with a gameplay video and is being pitched as “a brand-new horror experience for the Super Nintendo”, inspired…
It’s been a quarter of a century since I kicked up a ruckus in the Colony, the setting of Gothic, the classic eurojank RPG that would go on to inspire CD Projekt to develop The Witcher. It’s been so long my bones feel creaky just thinking about it. This might also explain why my first…
