I had the chance to play Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions at PAX West this year and chat with Creative Director Adam Bromell. We get into what Starseeker is, why it is not Astroneer 2, and just…

With just how formulaic and rigid Mario Party is, I wouldn’t blame you for feeling a bit along the lines of “played one, played them all.” I think Super Mario Party Jamboree is going to change some…

Developer Hypergryph, known more for its hit gacha title Arknights than anything else, is doing something completely new with the upcoming title Popucom. There's no gacha in sight, nor is it a mobile…

Call me a masochist, but I love a precision platformer with tons of spikes. The more spikes, the better. Perfecting the timing of your actions and finally reaching the end of the level is always…

I love a game with a good parry system, and no game does that better than Sekiro. It's fast and effective, and though you can spam it, it takes timing to actually master. Homura Hime might be a close…

Everything I loved about Kingdom Come: Deliverance is back in the sequel, just done in a bigger and better way. More importantly for some, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is more refined -- easier to…

I'll be the first to admit I know next to nothing about the series, but that mystery is what makes Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven all the more interesting to me. Why? Well, it might be the…

Let it be known: There is no game that has ever looked quite like Fantasian. It's a shame, then, that it was relegated to the small dimensions of an iPhone screen. Thankfully, a console port called…

In Death the Guitar, you play as a living guitar who wants to take revenge on the humans who have killed its owner, who was the greatest rockstar of all time. I’ll give you a second to wishlist it on…
