Forever blowing bubbles. The world of emulation handhelds has given us numerous clones of the Nintendo Game Boy, but Sega systems have been curiously underrepresented. Sure, Anbernic gave us the Saturn-style ARC, but we haven’t had all that many devices that take inspiration from Nintendo’s bitter ’90s rival—until now, at least. The $99 Game Kiddy…
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is releasing at the end of the month, January 31—and as someone with a vested interest in the first game, I’m downright excited. The series’ creator, Gareth Damian Martin, has found a way to bring the vibes of a smaller-scale indie TTRPG to a videogame not once, but twice now….
Since XCOM and XCOM 2 cemented themselves as the definitive PC strategy games of the 2010s, the Long War mods likewise became the definitive enhancements for both games.

The YouTube algorithm keeps threatening me with videos about how the new Dragon Age is a crime against Gamers. I haven’t watched any of them, but my recommendations still overflow. Even people with less overheated opinions have been down on its relatively chill vibes and easygoing nature. Just quietly, I’ve enjoyed most of my time…
Blimey, it’s that time already. It’s GOTY time, lovely people. Looking back over the last 12 months, it’s been an incredibly fruitful year for gamers. Industry-wide layoffs in recent months have been a sobering counterpoint to the glut of great games for anyone who cares about the talented people who crafted them and the future…

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 developer Monolith Soft has revealed that it used significant procedural generation to cope with the vast increase in assets required to build the world of the critically-acclaimed Switch RPG. As detailed by CG World (thanks, VGC), Monolith Soft’s map model designer Yoichi Akizuki, support engineer Mitsuhiro Hirose,…
The last time I wrote a post here was to tell you about our studio’s first title, a new sports game by the name of Super Mega Baseball. It’s been an unbelievable two years since then, and I can’t tell you how lucky I feel to be back here to share some info about Super…
Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion is out soon, and it’s a doozy: we gave it an 87% in our review, calling it a “splendid sendoff” to CD Projekt’s troubled RPG. Those folks sure do know their way around a good expansion. Phantom Liberty adds a new district to Night City, the walled-off “city within a…
