Last week, with no warning, Tetris 99 was unleashed upon the world, and puzzle games will never be the same. Infusing the "me against the world" psychology of the battle royale genre and applying it to the highly accessible, generally non-v...

I get the distinct feeling that Baba Is You will be good as hell. It's a game in which you solve puzzles by pushing words around the screen to form simple phrases that wildly change the rules of the world. Talk about a fascinating game mec...

I knew someone had used the "chroma chameleon" tagline as soon as I typed it. But it was only in that split-second directly after letting the ink hit the digital page did I think to Google it: sure enough, our own Josh Tolent...

Tetris Effect is such a treasure, and I hope everyone who hasn't taken a chance on it yet considers doing so soon. The limited-time demo is coming back on Friday, February 8 and it'll be playable until Monday, February 11. (Note: you'll nee...

The just-delayed Mario Kart Tour isn't the only Nintendo title coming to mobile devices this summer. In the briefest of announcements, the company revealed Dr. Mario World for iPhone and Android. Dr. Mario World is a "new action puzzle gam...

I've done long-distance relationships before. Twice, actually. The first one didn't work out. The second has (so far at least). But both were hard. Being physically apart from someone you love may be easier today with our current technology...

Get weird with this contest for Catherine Classic for Steam! I've never played Catherine, mostly because I felt shame enough even having the box on my shelf. I thought surely I'd get weird looks from anyone passing if they saw me playing it...

In case you aren't aware, Tetsuya Mizuguchi is a legend. In addition to working on cult favorites like Space Channel 5, he also lent his talents to Rez, Lumines, and Meteos: three of the most recognizable rhythm games in existence. A recent...

Enter our latest contest for your chance to win a Slayaway Camp/Friday the 13th Killer Puzzle prize pack for Switch! I keep saying that there's a disturbing lack of licensed puzzle games based off of iconic horror characters. Who wouldn't w...

Catherine: Full Body, which is heading to Japan soon and at some point in 2019 in the west, is now playable so long as you're willing to create a Japanese PSN account and grab the demo. Demos, actually, as you can play Fully Body ...

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...

Blizzard's collectible card game Hearthstone is one of the brightest spots on the company's ledger sheet, having recently surpassed 100 million registered players. The game is in a pretty good place, with Valve's Artifact stumbling out...

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 ...

It’s been 14 years since Katamari Damacy graced us with its bizarro charm and broken family dynamics, but the King of All Cosmos is back in full HD and it’s up to you to do the (literal) groundwork so the universe can be whole...

Announced just a few days ago, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is heading to mobile devices in Japan next month. We now have a trailer to show us how it will look and I'm super jealous. Is it too much to ask Level-5 to port these to...

Don't sleep on this contest: Win a Steam copy of Bad Dream: Fever. I know Halloween has already came and gone, but that doesn't mean we can't offer up creepy, unsettling, and flat-out weird games whenever the hell we feel like it. I, for on...

Every weekend from here on out, Tetris Effect players will gather together to play a few specified modes in hopes of reaching a collective point total to unlock a shiny new avatar. This went largely overlooked during the first Weekend Ritua...

Nintendo Minute has spilled the beans: Katamari Damacy Reroll (the Switch version of the original Katamari) will arrive on December 7. While it's not the biggest news ever given that Katamari Damacy is 14 years old, the fact that it will be...

How do you modernize an icon like Tetris? Simple: You leave the mechanics alone! Tetris Effect is the same perfect puzzling we know and love, but so much care has gone into enhancing every other facet of the experience. It's Tetris by way o...

It’s safe to say that the Nintendo Switch has replaced the Vita as a portable indie beast. Over the last year and a half, Nintendo’s hybrid device has amassed quite the collection of impressive indie titles. No one device lets y...

If you’ve ever played a point-and-click adventure game and thought to yourself, “This is pretty good, but it could do with a few more penis jokes”, you’re in luck. Germany-based dev team Crazy Bunch have taken on the...

Tetris Effect seems poised to cement itself as the go-to modern Tetris, and this weekend is your best bet to check it out before release. Enhance Games has put out a limited-time demo that's now live on PlayStation Network. It's just as mes...

Tetris Effect is intriguing as hell. You have surrealism king Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Rez, Lumines, Child of Eden) mixed with Tetris with optional VR: what could go wrong? It'll arrive soon enough, but for the time being you'll be able to check ...

Hidden Folks, a pleasant hand-drawn game about poking around densely-packed landscapes to uncover hidden objects, is coming to Nintendo Switch next week. The news was tucked away in an announcement about beach-themed DLC available this week...
