The latest free game offered on the Epic Games Store is a particular highlight, one I hope you'll strongly consider if you enjoy adventure games, family drama, and heartfelt short stories. It's none other than Giant Sparrow's What Remains o...

The action-adventure genre has come a long way. Once seen as inaccessible to some, the parking garage gate arm has lifted thanks to the proliferation of walkthroughs and YouTube, as well as clever and welcoming iterative design choices. Ash...

Setting out by yourself to create your own game is one of the riskiest excursions a creative type can take. That takes guts. It can take years for one person to see their vision through to fruition, and in that time there are challenges tha...

Ironically, Donut County is a game without holes. Well, not strictly speaking. Donut County is a game about an ever-growing hole. But, it's also a game without any real flaws -- its inventive and creative spirit shining brightly ...

I played a ton of Katamari Damacy over the weekend on Nintendo Switch. It's not my first time rolling up junk to make celestial bodies for my large disappointed dad, and it definitely won't be the last. It's a timeless classic. But now I'm ...

The first official announcement from The Game Awards 2018 is a pop album video game from developer Simogo and publisher Annapurna Interactive. It's Sayonara Wild Hearts and its blissful aesthetic can't be denied. All we really know ab...

When procedural generation became a big thing, there were a lot of high hopes about what it could mean for infinitely explorable spaces. Some games do it better than others, but a lot of the time a strange paradox occurs: with everything di...

Ashen, an upcoming action-RPG from Aurora44 and Annapurna Interactive, has an intriguing take on "passive" multiplayer. While you're out adventuring, you might bump into another player -- but they'll appear to you as a relevant NPC regardle...

Donut County should appeal to fans of Katamari Damacy. It's a lighthearted game in which you are a hole that can move around and swallow objects to grow larger, and you'll solve puzzles along the way. After a long wait, it's nearly ready fo...

Due Process is a five-on-five tactical shooter that lets you pore over the map, converse with your team, and draw up a literal plan John Madden-style before heading into your match. We covered the game several years ago but now it's back lo...

It's been long enough since we last spoke about Outer Wilds that this might as well be our first time covering it. The space-simulation adventure game made waves a few years ago, earning the grand prize at the 2015 Independent Games Festiva...

So this is love. Is it? I’m not sure. I’m not familiar with the sensation. Lust I get. Infatuation, longing, desire; I’m an expert in those. But love? No. I’m a chronically single 32-year-old with no prospects whose ...

I didn’t hear about Gorogoa until I read an article about its creator, Jason Roberts, and his seven-year journey developing this game. It intrigued me, as did the art in the screenshots, and I felt I owed it to him in some way to play...
