Monster Train is a roguelike deckbuilder in which the player must marshall the forces of Satan to try and break back into the underworld and relight the eternal flames of Hell. You have to do this because Hell is actually full of angels and…

Cloudpunk is filled with flying cars and impossibly tall skyscrapers doused in a future-noir chic.

Itch.io has set up a really amazing bundle of games featuring loads of developers, all for an amazingly good cause. The Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality is a pay what you want bundle of over 1,000 games. All of the proceeds from this…

I didn’t go camping much as a kid. I remember going during a handful of summers with a friend of mine from school. We’d do all the camping things — talk with her dad, cook in a fire, explore the camp. Wide Ocean Big Jacket perfectly…

Whilst I never really clicked with the Desperados series when it first launched almost twenty years ago, I remember considering it to be fairly important because it followed on from the hugely successful, unique Commandos games. Desperados…

XCOM: Chimera Squad is set five years after the events of XCOM 2 within City 31, a place where the liberated humans and aliens are trying to peacefully coexist. The titular Chimera Squad is a special unit, the first to consist of both…

Over the years, the likes of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame (or Project Zero as I knew it) have become the poster boys for the genre, but barring the recent Resident Evil remake games, that static camera, super slow-paced…

Let’s get this out the way from the beginning: Valorant definitely isn’t for everyone. Riot Game’s newest venture, Valorant, is a game with competition at its core, and it’s not ashamed to show it. Does that mean it's bad? No. But this…

The world of Maneater is presented in a way similar to that in which Saints Row parodies Grand Theft Auto. It’s almost a caricature which accentuates its key points in order to keep the player entertained

In 2008, the University of Washington offered gamers Foldit, a puzzle simulation that challenged players to bend a 3D model into a specific shape. Points were awarded based on factors including how compact the design was or whether or not…
