I have but a simple brain. Some people turn to games like Blue Prince to engage their minds in a thoughtful and complex exercise. But not me. Instead, I’ve been spending my precious time and brain power playing Nubby’s Number Factory. Nubby’s Number Factory is a plinko-style roguelike which has you working at a number…

The French Revolution was a time of overwhelming and quotidian violence. As Louis Antoine de Saint-Just—the revolution’s Angel of Death himself—put it in Georg Büchner’s play Danton’s Death, “Is it so remarkable that the stream of the revolution should at every bend and cataract cast up its corpses? … Are a few hundred dead bodies…

We can probably all agree that what your PC really needs is a water cooler with a screen. Sorry, make that a water cooler with two screens. Oh third thought, maybe a water cooler with a remote control motorised screen? Actually, if Computex 2025 is anything to go by, what your PC needs is simply…

I don’t envy game developers sometimes, nor do I envy the assumptions they have to hear time and time again from their players. Assumptions like, ‘Why didn’t they add a theft/crime system?’ or ‘Why don’t they just do this, it’s so simple?’ and, most infuriatingly, ‘These devs are so lazy’. As a critic, I might…

There’s a SteamOS version of the Legion Go S launching in a couple of days, but this also means the Windows version that’s already in the wild should now…

After fans cratered the Stalker trilogy’s Steam reviews to ‘Mostly negative’ in the hours immediately following launch, GSC Game World has released patch 1.0.1 for its “fully remastered and optimised” trio of original Stalker games. This one promises fixes for crashes across multiple platforms, issues with the games remembering what the hell your settings are…

The second you combine bugs and idle games, I’m sold. Staring at sprites of tiny creepy-crawlies is rapidly becoming one of my favourite pastimes, which probably explains why Bugaboo Pocket has rapidly risen to the top of my list of best indie games this year. It seems like I’m not the only one who has…
