When Scum launched into early access it made quite a stir: the hardcore multiplayer survival game had some pretty deep systems that simulated calories and carbs, body fat and muscle mass, and even kept track of each of your teeth. Scum was probably more notorious for the fact that you could poop. Gross, yes, but…
Cleanliness is next to godliness. If you want to put your Switch 2 through its paces, there’s no shortage of options in its generous launch lineup. Whether it’s the candy-colored charm of Mario Kart World or the neon-drenched cityscape of Cyberpunk 2077, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to visual powerhouses. With such major…
Firefighting is cool, and dangerous, and there’s lots of neat gear, plus you get to saw holes in houses, so it’s obvious that there should be a Farming Simulator-esque game about everyday heroes doing their thing. That’s the pitch behind Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, a four player co-op sim where you’ll run a fire department in…

“The river is a god, and they killed her” is a hell of a way to start off a trailer, but that’s how things get rolling in the new video for All Will Rise, which despite sounding like some sort of supernatural thriller is in fact a “narrative courtroom deck-builder” about ordinary people holding the…
Dune: Awakening’s sandworms aren’t just scary, they’re the most brutally punishing feature of Funcom’s new survival MMO. When you get eaten by a sandworm, you permanently lose all your stuff.
