Iron Lung, an indie horror game so popular it’s getting a movie adaptation starring Markiplier, has raised its pricing on Steam to $8 (£6.70), a price hike of two whole dollars. For some reason, this has upset people to the point where the game’s developer David Szymanski felt the need to respond. In a thread…
At this point, I’m wondering if we should be asking our world leaders if there’s anything that can be done for our poor Silksong fans. Some kind of support program, maybe the memory-eraser from Men in Black—or a time machine so they can go to the year 9998, which was an (accidentally) projected release date…
We hope you like walls of endless text. Gaming often takes itself entirely too seriously. There aren’t enough games that embrace ridiculous, silly ideas and run with them without coming across as shallow and one-note. Mugen Souls Z half succeeds at this; its opening scene includes a spaceship transforming into a giant robot for an…

Black Mirror Season 7 has arrived from the all-too-near future, bringing with it the familiar combination of tech-based horror, cautionary tales, and the occasional smidge of hope. The series doesn’t feel nearly as prescient as it did when it began way back in 2011—how could it—but even when the episodes of this technological Twilight Zone…
I had fun playing XDefiant when it launched: It was a free-to-play hero shooter with a lot of Call of Duty in its veins, and it was pretty good, but not popular enough to dodge the live service graveyard. Ubisoft announced this year that XDefiant will shut down in 2025, and executive producer Mark Rubin…
My gosh, has it been a year already? Time just flies when you’ve been playing fantastic games like Citizen Sleeper 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Blue Prince. These are all games our esteemed Council of industry veterans put on the Most Wanted list last year, but they’re old news now, and it’s time to…
Fable gameplay footage debuted at today’s Xbox Developer Direct, and despite a long 16-year wait between instalments the presentation felt very on brand. That’s maybe a little surprising, given Lionhead Studios closed in 2016. The new game is in the hands of Forza Horizon studio Playground Games, which has very little in common with the…
In an era where high-end graphics and complex animations dominate, we are seeing a very interesting trend emerge. Ten years ago, games put a major focus on sprawling skill trees and endless button combinations, but now things are changing. Nowadays, games are relying more and more on retro, minimalistic button combinations, with mobile games playing…
Something like two and a half years after I first saw the concept and thought “that looks neat” we’re finally gonna get it. We’re finally gonna get a game where you use a mech to plow a field grow and plant some seeds and water them and then harvest a big weird alien fruit. Videogames,…
