Look, I’m not a big fan of fishing minigames for a whole bunch of reasons. But I am deeply fond of abysmal puns. So on that basis alone, Fallout 76‘s Gone Fission update gets a pass from me. But this exquisitely/terribly titled addition to Bethesda’s multiplayer Fallout does more than let you yoink marine life…
Shapez 2 has quickly established itself as one of the better factory sims to roll off the games industry’s colossal imagination assembly line. A more focussed, yet still expansive game of automation and optimisation, Shapez 2 gives you the scale of Factorio, but removes concerns like building-destroying enemies and paying for structures with resources. Released…
I’ve fallen off of soulslikes. Not because of a lack of appreciation: I’ll always treasure felling a FromSoft boss so I can snatch up their soul, read the item description and wonder what all those proper nouns might mean.

Almost immediately, reactions to the segment weren’t as much about Splitgate 2 as Proulx’s peculiar fashion choice: a black “MAKE FPS…
If you’re anything like me, a Gen Z caffeine addict with the attention span of a fruit fly, ancient classics like Pong and Breakout don’t do much for you. ‘How am I supposed to play this without roguelite elements and heaps of stacking upgrades?’ I cry, and if the lesson is that sometimes less is…
Outerloop’s previous RPG, Thirsty Suitors, featured an elaborate cooking minigame—complete with quick-time-event handwashing—where you had to prepare Indian cuisine as a way of impressing and subsequently bonding with your mother. What I’m saying is, they’ve got prior when it comes to games where food is important. Outerloop’s next RPG, shown off today on the Day…
Beneath my television sits a small, underpowered rectangle. It’s called the ‘Nintendo Switch’ and I purchased it—in its advanced, glowing OLED form—to play Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. That is its sole purpose—filling that single hole in my PC’s gaming library (yes, yes, I know you can black-magic your way to…
