Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is maybe one of my favourite games of this year—it’s certainly in the running—which I hope reassures you that I mean this with all the love in the world. It surprises me not one itty-bitty bit that Guillaume Broche, creative director of the game, says he “likes really sad stories”. That’s…
Back in 2023, I reacted in a very grumpy fashion to D&D’s announced virtual tabletop, now dubbed Project Sigil. Well, now it’s here—with surprisingly little fanfare, I might add—and it’s available to test out for “free”.

Great EXPectations. Of all those who started Mario & Luigi: Brothership earlier this month, fewer will have seen it through to the bitter end. Fewer still will have completed all of its side missions and unlockables and we’d wager that an even smaller number will have reached the plumbing protagonists’ full potential with a pair…
New World, the only Amazon game that stuck around long enough to find a steady amount of players, is now being ushered toward the graveyard with all the other games the ecommerce megacorp has shut down for good. And now we have the date for its final day: January 31, 2027. The game has now…
Budget or bust? (Image credit: Future) Andy Edser is a man with a mission. It’s a mission he didn’t sign up for, or even want, but I’m his boss so he has to do what I say. And I’m making him test a ton of different cheap tech I might find on Amazon, AliExpress, TikTok…
I love rogues, bows, backstabs, silent takedowns, sneaking, and skulduggery in my games—if you do too, you should pay attention to the upcoming first person stealth game Project Shadowglass, which recently began showing off its first gameplay and development details. The first thing that caught my attention with Shadowglass is its visual style, which developer…
