Us old-school rogue-likers are eating good. It feels like we’ve barely had time to digest the fantastic ‘final’ version of Caves Of Qud (there’s more coming, of course), and already we’ve got another massive indie roguelike passion project to dive into. Approaching Infinity by micro-indie outfit Ibology has been in development for over twelve years…
Not everyone has years, weeks or even hours to commit to demon slaughter. Not all of us can be Coincident, fighting through the armies of hell for six hours solid. Sometimes you’ve not even got a minute to spare, and if that’s the case, I recommend seeking better work-life balance. Also to check out madcap…

In October of 2024 science-fiction writer Matthew Kelsey Martineau accused Bungie of lifting ideas for its first Destiny 2 campaign from a story published on his blog under the pseudonym Caspar Cole.

When asked to explain why Valve never made Half-Life 2: Episode 3 for the recent 20th anniversary documentary, Gabe Newell said that he “couldn’t figure out why doing Episode 3 was pushing anything forward.” For the Valve founder, the Half-Life games can’t just push Gordon Freeman’s story forward. They have to push videogames forward in…
It wouldn’t be a new Diablo 4 season without someone figuring out how to deal so much damage the game can’t compute it anymore. A couple of lucky players looted a pair of placeholder gloves and proceeded to go god mode with them, crushing the action RPG’s hardest dungeons before Blizzard disabled them in an…
Oh dear, I’m writing a news story about Garn47, which means I now have to explain Garn47. Okay, so hear me out: Garn47, developed by the largely mysterious solo developer/artist/musician Floombo (she wears many hats), is a very strange open world exploration sandbox that started out hidden in a Friday Night Funkin’ fangame, but you…
Whether it’s reworked old classics you’re after or fresh picks inspired by ’90s gems, you don’t have to look far for a good JRPG these days.
