Often, a puzzle game concept is confusing until you see it in action, so the easiest way to understand how 2D platformer MotionRec works is to watch the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct trailer above. As shown in the trailer, you can hit record and you’ll see afterimages remain behind your little guy, capturing their…
Gamescom’s Opening Night Live had a lot of action RPGs and soulslikes, and while I was as happy as a pig in slop, some may have preferred more variety. Well, today’s PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct has featured lots of exciting genres, but predictably, the game that’s just shot to the top of my Steam…
As a Magic: The Gathering enjoyer, I love a good deck building game. Add some fantasy elements and a roguelike twist and that’s pretty much all my keywords ticked off. Enter Doomspire, where you delve into an ancient ruin to fight bosses, grab as much loot as you can carry, and of course, collect cards….
If you saw the Farmbotic trailer just now during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct and thought it looked familiar, you’re right! The farming sim was originally announced as Farmatic, but has undergone a name change and is now called Farmbotic. A much better name, in my opinion. Farmbotic is a little like a 3D…

This new release comes with “smooth rollback netcode, online lobbies for up to nine players”, a practice mode “complete with speed settings, record-and-replay options,…
Stario: Haven Tower isn’t the first vertical city-builder I’ve seen, or even the first one I’ve seen this year. But it is the first I’ve encountered that also features floating space whales, which immediately makes it the one I’m most interested in playing. Does this demonstrate how badly the Internet has affected my attention span?…
Starship mine. Star Trek: Resurgence presents, essentially, an episode of the sci-fi show in interactive, visual novel form. Where Starfleet combat sims focus on phaser battles and starship strategy, and often struggle to capture the many facets of the show beyond the iconography, Dramatic Labs threads life’s moral quandaries, familial and political themes, and the…
From a company that specialised in plastering its cases with anime characters, the X50 is, somehow, its most ostentatious PC case yet. Let’s just say it has a look, a strong look, and one crying out for an equally flashy build within. There’s more to this case than a gaudy form; it’s well suited to…
Oh no, I can feel it happening. I’m regressing to my 2016 self, PlayStation Vita in one hand and a teeny-tiny Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair cartridge in the other. What began as little more than a time-kill opportunity—I had purchased the Sony handheld and a copy of the first Danganronpa in a desperate attempt to…
