These are the comments I’ve received on Hinge dates, but they’re also how I’d describe Brigand: Oaxaca , a baffling but brilliant immersive sim from 2017 whose emphasis is on “total freedom of action” and murdering you repeatedly. It’s hard, and has an uncompromising old-school design approach…

We’ve already rounded up the best deals in the 2024 Steam Autumn sale, but Steam isn’t the only place slicing game prices down to ridiculously low numbers right now. Many a game store is running a Black Friday sale on Steam codes, meaning you can still get a code to add a game to your…
