Dead Cells' Constant Mutations Make It One Of The Best Games Of 2021, Too
6.12.2021
I love Dead Cells. The side-scrolling combat and platforming are tight, the art is impeccable, and its progression system and unlock curve are among the best I’ve ever seen. It feels like a near-perfectly designed game. In the three years since its release, it has become even better—and a more...
25 Years Later, Quake Gets A Horde Mode
3.12.2021
Back in August, Bethesda released a remastered Quake across basically every modern gaming platform, including Switch. Now, a few months later, this version of the game just received its second large update, adding a new co-op horde mode, additional maps, another campaign, and numerous bug fixes....
I Like The Steam Deck's Box Art
3.12.2021
Valve has released hardware before, but nothing quite so big and ambitious as the Steam Deck before. And releasing proper hardware means Valve had to think of something a software-first company hasn’t had to think of very often: what should its box look like.Read more
Diablo Meets Minecraft In This Game Pass Hidden Gem
2.12.2021
The Riftbreaker is a silly name for a game that is much better than its title might imply. Released in October on Xbox Game Pass and blending elements from Factorio, Minecraft, MechWarrior, Diablo, and others, I found this top-down survival game very hard to put down. Read more
Wow, Dead Cells Is Still Going Strong, Huh
30.11.2021
For a game about the undying, Dead Cells is really living up to subject matter. The popular roguelike, first released in 2018 for consoles and PC, is getting even more new content, developer Motion Twin announced via press release today. The expansion announcement comes shortly after announcing...

Saints Row Delayed To August 2022
17.11.2021
Volition’s Chief Creative Officer Jim Boone has announced that the release of the long-rumored Saints Row reboot has been pushed back over quality concerns. The less-silly Saints Row was scheduled for release on February 25, 2022—a month already packed with games. It will now be released on August...
Four Hours With Dying Light 2: Beyond An Open-World Zombie Game
16.11.2021
Dying Light 2 was announced all the way back at E3 2018. A lot has happened in the three years since, including multiple delays and the departure of RPG writer/designer Chris Avellone from the project following sexual harassment allegations. Now set to come out in February 2022 (alongside a bunch...
The Hot New Card Game By The M. Night Shyamalan Of Video Games
10.11.2021
The world is a confusing, messed-up place, but as I sit here at my laptop contending with my humanity, I’m absolutely sure of two things: My stomach hurts like hell, and I’m tired of Daniel Mullins’ shenanigans. The former, I assume, is the result of some bad carne asada, while the latter occurred...
The Best Borderlands 2 DLC Is Yours For Free
9.11.2021
Do you like free things? They’re certainly a lot cheaper than expensive things, I find. A free thing you could have right now is Borderlands 2’s original Tiny Tina DLC, up on the Epic Game Store now as a standalone expansion (for which the correct name is “expandalone”). The idea is to get you...
Incredible Mod Lets You Fight Crusader Kings III's Battles Yourself
3.11.2021
As fantastic as Crusader Kings III is, and as much as it lets you do as the ruler of a medieval dynasty, the nature of the game has meant that war has always been a bit distant. You can raise your armies and tell them where to go, but never directly lead the troops yourself. Until now.Read more

Darkest Dungeon II Tries Something New, And It Mostly Works
27.10.2021
Darkest Dungeon II is nothing if not evocative—a positive quirk it shares with the first game. When my party reaches the Mountain at its heart, they are brought low. This place has haunted their dreams for weeks—a different configuration for each of them.Read more
What's A 4X Game, And Why Do They Rule?
8.10.2021
Here’s an experience we’ve all definitely had: It’s a Monday and your co-workers are gathering around the water cooler discussing the games they played over the weekend. “I can’t get enough of this new 4X game,” one of them declares. Excited by talk of video games, you make an effort to break into...
Amazon Prime’s Free Games For October Are Shockingly Good
30.9.2021
I have a boring ritual. Every few weeks, I make sure to check out the Prime Gaming Rewards page to see what free games are available. Most of the time it’s nothing too exciting, maybe a few good, smaller games along with some totally forgettable things I’ll never play. But October is different....
