The Outer Worlds is a kooky sci-fi world I want to explore more of, and while I think (and hope) an eventual sequel could be a home-run, for now, Obsidian Entertainment is expanding Halcyon with DLC. The first of the two story expansions is...

Just recently, we learned that there's going to be a prequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That's good! It's also a hack and slash and part of the Hyrule Warriors franchise. Depending on who you ask, that's either bad or good! And it's...

Stardew Valley is calling my name with each update 1.5 check-in, and today's screenshot – a laid-back beachside scene with ducks floating around some submerged trees – is about as cozy as they come. To an outsider, it's just a ...
