I don't know what's happening in today's contest for Unlucky Seven, but we're giving away Steam copies. As you may know, I specialize in weird situations. Normal is for sissies, and I, a strong and independent woman*, am no sissy**. When we...

Switch ports have been all the rage ever since the system was released, and rightfully so. Who doesn't want to play their favorite game while on a long road trip or their daily commute? Well, now the fine folks at Inkle Studios are porting ...

As games have evolved, artists have used them to tell stories in ways we could have never imagined, 20, or even 10 years ago. One of those trailblazers, Sam Barlow, managed to reinvigorate the FMV genre with Her Story in 2015, which he...

"Like, zoinks gang! We're stranded on a spooky ghost ship!" is what I imagined the cast of Dark Pictures: The Man of Medan to say when I booted it up. They did not! Instead this very horrific tale from the horror masters...

Sam Barlow is really on a roll. Although his work on a few Silent Hill entries (Origins, Shattered Memories) put him on the map, it was 2015's Her Story that made him a household name. Barlow did a hell of a lot more than just "bring back" ...

A few weeks ago we gave you kind folks a small taste of the raw EMOTION of Quantic Dream's games. Today, we're back with another round to let you into the strange, uncanny valley world that I'm pretty sure no other studios want to make, let...

Life is Strange 2 is doing decently so far. The first episode kicked off nicely according to our resident Life is Strange expert Brett. Episode 2 slowed down that growth a bit and Episode 3 continued that plunge. How will Episode 4 turn out...

Little Nightmares dropped back in 2017 and made a rather large splash: as far as atmospheric adventure games go that aren't from Playdead studios. Tarsier Studios is even returning for the sequel, Little Nightmares II, which was revealed to...

If you haven't played 2015's Her Story yet and really enjoy the idea of a modern FMV adventure game, you probably should get on that: it's $10 on Steam and worth an afternoon (or several). It's better than the FMV board game from Community,...

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files has taken on a life of its own as a hotbed for hysterical gifs and videos in which players use their VR controllers to make detective Cole Phelps act like a madman in front of witnesses and suspects, and I can'...

Brain&Brain is following up its storybook adventure Burly Men at Sea with another minimalist game, Wooden Nickel, and I'm here for this aesthetic. It's so different from my usual inbox pitches. The main hook, at least in my eyes, is th...

For a game about a disappearance, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter sure keeps popping up. Later this week, it'll get its fourth launch in five years. Polish studio The Astronauts has ported The Vanishing of Ethan Carter to Nintendo S...

Quantic Dream made huge strides recently in bringing a few of their works to PC, and according to an interview with DualShockers, that wasn't a one-time thing. In fact, it's going to be their strategy moving forward. For reference, their re...

Today's contest features cutesy noir title Bear With Me: The Complete Collection for PC, Switch, Xbox One, and PS4! If your video game features a talking, crime-solving teddy bear, there's about a 100% chance I'm going to play it. I have ve...

Psychonauts 2 is getting made because enough people believed in it. Some of those people supported it like a normal crowdfunded game -- chip in at a tier and then earn some rewards. But, because it was funded by Fig, others made actual...

Come October, you'll be bustin' like it's 2009. The remaster of the vaunted Ghostbusters: The Video Game is nearly ready to haunt this mortal plane. Fittingly, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will launch during the spooky...

I'm pretty sure this is the only current contest on the internet featuring Willem Dafoe, so come win a PC copy of Beyond: Two Souls. For anyone who's been around here long enough, you'll remember the days when you couldn't go two front page...

For those who have not been following along on the community side of things, Destructoid user Soulbow has been consistently pestering me, for over a year now, to keep writing these reviews for The Council. I mean, this episode came out...

Do you ever want to play games where you're just....driving? Soaking in the environment, having conversations, and listening to whatever pops on the radio? Well, I've got three games lined up based on that premise on this week's episode of ...

The sea is loneliness. That's not a spoiler for Sea of Solitude, the latest effort from Berlin-based indie studio Jo-Mei, and a game that, since its announcement some years ago, has been fairly explicit about its allegorical nature, and its...

Enter our contest and pick up a copy of breakout VR title Moss for Steam or Oculus Quest! Being a silly human, I can't say I've ever experienced what it's like to be a cute little four-legged creature. Imagine scurrying around the forest so...

Nintendo treasure and producer/director Shigeru Miyamoto had a few things to say about adventure games in a recent company Q&A. When pressed as to why Nintendo doesn't continue to support the genre in the modern era (with Famicom Detect...

The Sinking City is without a doubt a love letter to H. P. Lovecraft's work. Even going as far as being set within the same universe, specifically The Shadow over Innsmouth, and directly references those events and plenty more from Lov...

Hack 'n slash through the colorful voxel world of Riverbond on PS4, Xbox One, or PC! Riverbond was shown at Microsoft's E3 conference this year -- and it's available now! To celebrate, developer Cococucumber Games has given us a bunch of co...

Three writers sat in a room in the Microsoft Theater, looking at one man in a room with his wife. She wants to have dessert, so he sets the table while she goes into the other room. The man starts eating without her. Presumably, the guy to ...
