With the humour of Rick and Morty and the darkness of, well, Rick and Morty, High on Life arrived on the FPS scene within just a few months of its announcement back in 2022. It was a hit, even if we didn’t we didn’t particularly care for the shooting or the blabbing. Three years later,…
For a decade or more now, it hasn’t been the big names driving big changes in the PC peripherals market, but the disruptive enthusiast outfits. The likes of Ducky and Wooting managed to land on what gamers genuinely want from an enthusiast mechanical keyboard before Corsair, Razer et al did—compact size, high quality switches, custom…
Late last week came the news that, seven years after its early access release, original developers Motion Twin and DLC developers Evil Empire will be ending work on Dead Cells. Evil Empire was set up as a satellite studio to support the game and had been working on it for over five years, creating four…

It’s a normal day in my tavern. A talking skeleton has lurched in and is standing at the bar inquiring about a job. A pale white octopus is swimming through the swamp to deliver my order of potatoes and rat meat. I’m using arcane magic to peer into the future to gain some extremely important…
Troleu is perhaps the most specific job simulator game I’ve played. Inspired (loosely, I assume, but who can say) by developer andrground’s experience of Moldovan public transit, it’s a frenzy of change-counting, validating trolley passes, and hurling passengers at a demonic ticket inspector so you don’t lose your day’s wages. In my time with the…
A little less than a month after the release of its Titanfall-inspired shooter Empulse, developer 1047 Games has reportedly laid off more employees. While the studio hasn’t made a formal announcement of the cuts, multiple employees on LinkedIn (via Game Developer) have said they’ve been let go in what one described as “the third wave…
