The first patient I killed was a mistake. A burly fellow named Victor Harlow walked into my surgery complaining about fatigue, but I was distracted by the little pig popping in and out of my cuckoo clock. This isn’t a euphemism for anything—there really was a small pink pig where the cuckoo should have been….
Free-running zombie survival extravaganza Dying Light is 10 years old this year, a fact that my rapidly rotting brain simply refuses to accept. Developer Techland is determined to hammer the news home though, dedicating an entire year to anniversary celebrations. Back in January, the developer gave away its first DLC for the game in four…
Two Point Museum is already one of the most enjoyable management sims I’ve played, spinning its theme down some wonderfully silly avenues that let you curate exhibitions of ghosts and giant carnivorous plants. Now, publisher SEGA has announced an expansion that will add another range of bizarre artifacts to discover and display, this time with…
I missed Atari’s announcement that it’s bringing back Fatal Run, a post-apocalyptic racer released when Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was still a relatively new film.

Unlike the creator of Balatro, I haven’t 100% completed Balatro, but I’m still kinda done playing Balatro for the time being—at least until the creator of Balatro delivers Balatro 1.1, which will infuse Balatro with more Balatro. In the meantime, I’m on the hunt for some new roguelikes to wile away my life with—as long…
Phasmophobia’s Chronicle update added even more spooky sounds and voices for ghosts to make, but what good is that with no audible evidence to sell at the end of a contract? Fortunately, the patch also reworked how the Journal records and reports media, leading to the introduction of a new Phasmophobia tool, the Sound Recorder….
Before a recent interview with Obsidian studio design director Josh Sawyer, I was tasked with a crucial mission by a different games industry Josh. PCG news writer Joshua Wolens wanted Josh the Elder’s take on the apparent final victory of turn-based combat over real time with pause, as represented by recent hits like Baldur’s Gate…
In May 2024, the hit deep sea diving restaurant simulator Dave the Diver got some very big DLC in the form of the Godzilla Content Pack. It was free, with a catch: The DLC would only be available until November 23, after which it would be gone forever thanks to licensing issues, Nexon said. Apparently…
