Nigoro's ruins-exploring adventure La-Mulana 2 is gearing up for a summer release on PC and Mac. It's been, what, a few years since we last covered the game? I had forgotten it was on the way! Nigoro and Playism ran a successful Kickstarter...

A lot of indie games seem to fly under the radar due to either a lack of marketing budget or being relatively early in development. Eastfound is one such game, but one of the developers behind it shot us an e-mail. Elias Viglione, founder o...

The announcement of the Atari VCS was pretty exciting. Here was a seemingly dead company coming back from the grave to re-release its most successful console in 2018. While no one knew if this was simply a modern take on classic hardware, t...

Platformers make up many of my fondest gaming memories, ranging from oldies like Super Mario Sunshine to newbies like A Hat in Time and Rayman Legends. There are many things I love about them, such as speedrunning through obstacle cour...

The original 2D side-scrolling MapleStory made a big splash on the MMORPG scene back in 2003 in South Korea and would do the same with its North American release in 2005. That trend seems to continue with another long release cycle for Mapl...

Fox N Forests doesn’t really have the most appealing name. It sounds a little like a generic mixture of canines and arboreous backgrounds, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The press e-mail we got before PAX had some won...

A lot of you probably know about Risk of Rain, which is wonderful. It's a gem of an action-platformer roguelike and we're getting another one. How about Deadbolt? Hopoo Games' tricky grim reaper stealth title didn't resonate the same way, b...

Not many people realize this, but Celeste has quite the history behind it. Starting as a small project during a game jam, creator Matt Thorson later expanded the game into the release we now know and love. Obviously there are references str...
