Launching later this year. We must admit, when Atari announced Adventure of Samsara over the weekend, it took us a good couple of minutes to realise it was officially linked to the classic 2600 game Adventure. Watching the trailer, the overall look and feel of the game didn’t really form any connections in our mind,…
I have a best friend in Avowed, and that best friend is a two and a half feet long piece of metal that’s permanently on fire. It’s called Last Light of Day, and if there’s a creature in the Living Lands it can’t take down, I’m yet to meet it. The funny thing is, I…
We are bearing down on the final weeks of 2025, and somehow—somehow!—Baldur’s Gate 3, a game that released more than two years ago (more than five years ago, if you count the lengthy early access stretch) is still banging the table at The Game Awards.

Once Upon a Katamari announced the first two DLCs during the State of Play Japan stream on November 11, and to say I’m excited is a complete understatement. Even though these DLCs won’t add any crazy new levels for you to roll around, they’re just as exciting. If you jumped at the opportunity to start…

The sequel, developed by Sega Technical Institute in the…
Nintendo UK has unleashed a new trailer for their upcoming remake of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. The adventure title is due out on the 6th of March exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system. As you can see from the video below the game has some rather nice cutscenes, especially when…
Before you jump down my throat, no, Dominion wasn’t the first tabletop game with deckbuilding in it, with predecessors like StarCraft: The Board Game. Dominion was, however, the first to build an entire game around the mechanic, giving birth to the genre that would hop to PC with Dream Quest, Slay the Spire, Monster Train,…
Summer’s a’coming and that means the internet tube is about to extrude hundreds of videogame “world premiere” announcements in a variety of highly curated showcases—yes, PC Gaming Show included. So that you don’t have to wander through June saying “wait, that was today?” every time your group chat starts dropping hot new trailers, I’ve got…
