Since the release of Totes the Goat in 2015, developer Atooi and its founder, Jools Watsham, have really made the most out of the game's simple, but lovely, voxel graphics. The same art style has found its way into subsequent Atooi tit...

In today's contest you can win Dodo Peak for Switch! About 90% of my gaming time is devoted to puzzle games these days. I've got a bunch on my Switch, and even more on my phone -- I use them to convince myself I'm keeping mentally sharp and...

In today's contest you can win a PC copy of Maneater! It's Shark Week! I actually kind of hate Shark Week, because it's terrifying. Sharks are terrifying. The ocean is, in fact, fucking terrifying. I had a nightmare the other night where I ...

Every so often, something hits my Dtoid inbox that's so gloriously stupid that I have to write about it. Fight Crab is this week's gloriously stupid find. I'm not going to ruin it too much with unnecessary words: This is a game where the go...

I'm back on my stupid-games-involving-animals bullshit, y'all. As a note to game developers, if you put alpacas, llamas, or pretty much any animal into a game with little rhyme or reason, there's at least a 60% chance I'm going to cover it....

Maneater might not top anyone's most-wanted-games list for 2020, but a budget-friendly open-world action-RPG about a shark "eating [its] way up the ecosystem" sounds cathartic. Every few years someone captures my imagination with a promisi...

E-Line Media's oceanic adventure Beyond Blue launched last week on Apple Arcade, and while I adore the premise of an educational-focused diving game produced in collaboration with BBC Studios, I can't exactly say that's something I want to ...

As much as I adore Planet Zoo, I can't say I'm loving Frontier Developments' piecemeal approach to DLC. The first add-on, the Arctic Pack, had its place – but I worried about diminishing returns, and sure enough, here they are. This w...

When you're a shark, you have to feel pretty confident about your standings in the underwater food chain. It's like being a human on land. Sure, maybe a bear will ruthlessly murder me and play with my skull, but there's only a very slim ch...

I enjoyed my time with Maneater far more than I had any right to. For what is essentially a shark simulator (or a "shaRkPG," as Tripwire calls it), there was a surprising amount of balance between the calm and the ridiculous. At some points...

I've been reporting on the public nuisance that is cats for quite some time now, so it should come as no surprise that I'm back to alert the world to another cat-astrophic video game. This time, however, things take a slightly sadder turn a...
