A dog shelter management game is a solid idea that should immediately click with a lot of people, myself included. I've run all sorts of failed virtual ventures, from theme parks to farms to hospitals to entire cities, but none of those sce...

In today's contest you can win a copy of Wingspan for Nintendo Switch! Apparently, Wingspan was a pretty big hit in the realm of board games. Who'da thunk that a game about collecting birds would wind up as such a banger? It's wild. Anyway,...

They say any publicity is good publicity. It makes sense because lord knows no one else is talking about Animal Rescuer. But why is that?

In today's contest you can win Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition - Signature Edition from Signature Edition Games! Have you heard of Spirit of the North? I hadn't until the kind folks over at Signature Edition Games gave me a copy to gi...

I am very much looking forward to Petoons Studios' Curse of the Sea Rats, which was confirmed for development this past summer after smashing its crowdfunding goals on Kickstarter. Today brings a rum barrel of news for the anthropomorphic "...

Whether you're here for the penguins (please read that in Benedict Cumberbatch's voice) or you're just sticking to the ongoing free content updates, December 8 will be a busy day for Planet Zoo players. The next slice of DLC for Planet Zoo...

In today's contest you can win a physical Switch copy of Ghost of a Tale from Super Rare Games! Happy Thanksgiving, America! I know for most of the rest of the world it's just another Thursday, but here in America it's time to gorge ourselv...

In today's contest you can win wacky party game Alpaca Ball: Allstars for Switch! The prophecy has been foretold! I covered Alpaca Ball: Allstars way back in the day because I'm a sucker for dumb games featuring animals. Since I'm a man of ...

In today's contest you can win a Switch copy of Fight Crab and its soundtrack! It's official: Fight Crab is pretty good! I mean, how could it not be? It's crabs fighting with human weapons. Hard to screw that one up. If you want to experien...

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 Niche for Nintendo Switch! If you've ever wanted to explore animal husbandry in a video game based on real life genetics, then you're in luck! Niche is a different little title combining turn-based strategy, e...

The sugar glider adventure Away: The Survival Series is aiming for an early 2021 release on PC and PlayStation 4, and if you're open to exploration games that are rough around the edges but set you loose in a compelling landscape, you'll wa...

Planet Zoo is adding several new animals with the Australia Pack on August 25, 2020. The koala, red kangaroo, dingo, southern cassowary, and eastern blue-tongued lizard – choose your beast. Cassowaries are intimidating and their eggs ...

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...

Developer House House - in collaboration with iam8bit and Skybound Games - has announced that a physical edition of 2019 hit Untitled Goose Game will be waddling onto PS4 and Nintendo Switch September 29.Untitled Goose Game will be made ava...

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....

Great-looking "Ratoidvania" Curse of the Sea Rats might have absolutely smashed its initial Kickstarter goals, but developer Petoons Studios isn't done raising capital just yet. The latest treat being offered to backers is this exclusive ph...

It's been a double dose of cuteness from Good Smile Co. this week. First we were introduced to the darling Sakura Wars Sakura Amamiya Nendoroid, and now we can squeeee with delight at this super-cute Nendo of Sun Goddess Amaterasu, star of ...

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 ...

In today's contest you can win wacky multiplayer game Grab Your Nuts for Switch, Xbox One, and Steam! Here at Dtoid, we have a long-running history of genital-based humor and innuendo. It's why any time there's a game that throws in some cr...

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...
