Now that we're nearing the one-month mark for Apple Arcade, I've begun checking the App Store more regularly to see if there are any new games to play before I figure out the fate of my subscription. A few more titles just popped up recentl...

When Apple Arcade was first announced, I never expected to one day use the subscription service to play a deep-sea metroidvania game from Capcom. What a wild thought. Even now, it feels like a dream. Looking through the launch lineup, Apple...

What the Golf? is as good as I hoped it'd be, which is to say, "very." I'm honestly relieved! The game takes an otherworldly view of golf, twisting and turning a basic premise in increasingly outlandish ways not unlike something out of Wari...

Anyone eager to lock 'n' load as unstoppable assassin John Wick finally has a date with which to mark their calendars. As announced by publisher Good Shepard Entertainment, John Wick Hex will be unleashed on PC and Mac via Epic Games Store ...

It may be a bit of a foregone conclusion at this point, but publisher Sega and developer Creative Assembly have finally lifted the curtain on the next release in the Total War Saga strategy sub-series series. And, as previously revealed, we...

Valve has made it that much easier for me to see exactly how many games I've left untouched and unloved in my aging Steam library. With today's beta, Steam users can now opt-in to play around with the platform's new and arguably improved li...

At long last, The Floor is Lava: The Video Game is almost here. Don't Starve developer Klei Entertainment is putting the final touches on Hot Lava, a first-person parkour game that we first started following back in 2016. It looked neat the...

There are too many subscriptions in this world, but Apple Arcade – an ongoing library of "over 100 new, exclusive games, all playable across iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV" – is a particularly interesting prospect. ...

Note to self (and anyone else who finds a strange sort of relaxation in video game item management): don't forget to play Wilmot's Warehouse when you're not buried under prior commitments. It's a charming game about sorting and delivering a...

It lives! Kingdoms of the Dump, a '90s JRPG throwback, first drew me in last year. Now it's making a case for a modest crowdfunding drive on Kickstarter and looking better than ever. This game is still tantalizingly out of reach with a 2022...

Nintendo's E3 Direct was full of a ton of surprises, but one of the more striking was the announcement of Empire of Sin. Feeling completely out of place for Nintendo's family-friendly image, the short teaser showed mobsters gunning down oth...

If you were ever going to buy The Sims 4, you would've done so by now. You've held strong. As a reward, the life sim game is free to download. Not just to try, but to keep. Electronic Arts is giving out the PC and Mac version – the no...

"Execution is key" is a double entendre of sorts when combining John Wick with the turn-based strategy genre. XCOM-likes are all about planning and smart decisions, always playing the odds so things don't go awry. John Wick, on the ot...

Final Fantasy XIV has been around for a long time now; it has been nine years since it first launched, and six years since A Realm Reborn replaced the original. Square Enix has a new strategy to earn back some lapsed players. Fro...

Electronic Arts has some bad news for anybody who is enjoying the petite universe of The Sims 4 on a 32-bit PC platform. From June 2019, 32-bit rigs and non-metal Macs will no longer be supported by Maxis' world-building sequel.The Sims 4 ...

It may be the end of the road for the PlayStation Vita's hardware production, but that isn't going to stop Sony's handheld from grabbing a few more releases on its way out of the door. Case in point, Bromio Games' surrealist adventure title...

It doesn't feel like Humble Bundle has existed for all that long, but clearly, my perspective is out of whack. We're now on the Humble Indie Bundle 20, a fitting reminder that time moves way too fast and you shouldn't let important things g...

Viz Media is easily one of the largest names in anime and manga outside of Japan. Since its humble beginnings in 1986, its grown to become the largest publisher of graphic novels in the United States. Now, the company is dipping its toes in...

Ever wanted to play a different game each day? Sounds like it might be an expensive prospect, but things get easier when you expand your net to include indie and experimental titles. But there are so many! What should you play?! Deciding th...

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's dead platforms keep piling up. A few years ago, the Wii U version was canceled in favor of flipping over to Switch -- a perfectly justifiable move. Earlier in 2018, the Vita port was scrapped altogether. ...

As we inch toward the new year, Valve has shared a list of the 100 best-selling games on Steam in 2018. Along with the general list, there are also a few more specific groupings including the top 150 new releases, VR best-sellers, Early Acc...

After recently announcing that he would begin self-publishing Stardew Valley on all platforms except for Nintendo Switch and mobile, game creator Eric Barone promised more announcements would come soon. Earlier today, he had quite a lot to ...

Valve is now running its annual Steam Autumn Sale with deals on some 14,000 PC games. What's good this year? Based on spending habits so far, it looks like Civilization VI ($17.99), Total War: Warhammer II ($29.99), Assassin's Creed Odyssey...

There's been a slight but much-appreciated resurgence in theme park simulation titles over the past couple years. One highlight is Parkitect, a game that feels like a loving tribute to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and its classic seque...

One of my favorite games of the past decade is a wonderful little collection called NES Remix. From indiezero and Nintendo, this trio of games took classic NES titles and reimagined how people played them. It was a great success, but after ...
