Frostpunk 2 expands macro-survival into post-apocalyptic civilization builder

The Night Shift – Looking shifty
Making things trickier are the mannequins that at first simply stand around. Some of them are active, whilst others are aggressive but it won’t be clear which are which until they actually become active. Your objectives will funnel you in…
Kinfire Council is a 2025 GOTY contender, and it’s only September!

Big Boss makes capitalist board games cool again
When it comes to games about running businesses, there are a few that come to mind... and some of them end in big arguments and disappointment. I'm not saying that Big Boss fixes all of the issues of games about exponential, capitalist…
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Legends of the Zone is a long overdue return to an important series
There’s a certain atmosphere that only games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. can conjure — a blend of dread, decay, and desperate survival that’s as much about mood as it is mechanics. With the recently “enhanced” S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Legends of the Zone…

Playing The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship feels like much more than just a game — it’s the retelling of an epic story. Frodo is one step from despair, the Nazgûl are circling, and you’re desperately trying to recruit Rohirrim…
Stomp The Plank is a great introduction to Push Your Luck mechanics
One thing that kids games do a lot better than most games aimed at adults is convincingly take over the table and, in the case of playing them out at gaming cafes or events, draw in a crowd. Stomp the Plank is an incredibly easy to…
Fighting the Baddies in Hidden Cat Outlaws
That's right, it's another hidden object cat game. This time Hidden Cat Outlaws takes us to the wild, wild west — think Sheriff offices, carts dotted around, lots of sand. As with most hidden-animal games, there's a lot of familiar…
