22.6.2022
Horror manga fans already know that Junji Ito is the king of the genre, but what if his art style featured the likes of King of the Hill’s Hank Hill, the king of all things propane and propane accessories?

The Cyberpunk Genre Is Broken, And The Creator Of Citizen Sleeper Agrees
20.5.2022
Cyberpunk. When you think of the word, you likely conjure up images of a futuristic cityscape awash in neon lights, amalgams of Western-Japanese architecture, and a cybernetic hero equipped with a samurai sword—or a “AAA” game still trying to get its bearings. But what often gets lost in the glitz...

Making Your Own Kaneda Bike From Akira Seems Hard
1.4.2022
YouTuber Ayato has a big project on his hands: making a DIY Kaneda bike from Akira. The Kaneda bike is one of the most iconic bikes in anime—no, make that popular culture writ large. There are numerous Kaneda bike projects on YouTube, but in my opinion, this one is the best. In a series of clips...
A Stunning Southern Dystopia Is One Of The Best-Written Games Of The Year
30.3.2022
The unnerving tone of Geography Of Robot’s Southern Gothic point-n-click adventure Norco fascinates me. Its conflation of a recognisable 21st-century Louisiana, and dystopian science fiction, creates an oppressive darkness that weighs on my mind as I click through the game’s “mind-map” menu, where...

This Lovecraftian Visual Novel Is The Perfect Valentine's Day Game For Monster-Lovers
11.2.2022
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and we all know how annoying it can be to doomscroll past a seemingly infinite number of photos of people boo’d up, accompanied by eye-roll-inducing song lyric captions meant to encapsulate their love. So why not protect your peace by playing a visual novel...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2’s Delay Is Personally Painful Because The Original Games Are So Iconic
14.1.2022
You approach the camp at night, alone. It is dark, but you do not want them to know where you are—so your flashlight remains in your bag. You can barely make out the enemies’ positions, your only referent being the lights cast from beneath the barrels of their guns. You move to the side of...

27.12.2021

7.12.2021
This is a conversation that I’m sure has played out countless times across kitchens and living rooms around the world as children, friends and partners patiently try and explain the difference between a video game universe and a tabletop wargaming universe. I just don’t know if it’s ever been done...
Resurgence Of Facism Forces Warhammer To Remind Fans Imperium Are Villains
19.11.2021
Some Warhammer 40,000 players think the game’s fascist Imperium of Man faction is awesome, and actually has a few good ideas. It does not. To clarify this point—which more than one Warhammer 40K fan appears to have missed—maker Games Workshop put out a statement saying that you do not, under...
Retro Horror Steam Shooter Nails That Unsettling Halloween Vibe
30.10.2021
Don’t let the highly stylized art fool you. The first-person shooter Forgive Me Father is unsettling because of its flat comic-book graphics, not in spite of them. At first, I was charmed by how the art style made the game feel like a distant cousin to Paper Mario. By the end of the second level,...

29.10.2021
Toss a coin to your Witcher-song-singing friends. Netflix released the first official trailer for The Witcher’s second season, which debuts on December 17. No other way to put this: It looks bonkers. It also kinda muddies the suspenseful setup from the end of the first season.Read more
