Note to self (and anyone else who finds a strange sort of relaxation in video game item management): don't forget to play Wilmot's Warehouse when you're not buried under prior commitments. It's a charming game about sorting and delivering a...

Spintires: MudRunner was a decently enjoyable truck driving simulator about hauling loads through the wilderness. Imbuing each vehicle with a real sense of weight, it was a struggle to get anything done in the game. While lacking in conten...

While you may not have heard of it until now, the restaurant simulation series Cook, Serve, Delicious has been out there quietly building an empire. The first two cooking games have sold a combined one million units, according to Vertigo Ga...

MinskWorks, the mind behind the road-trip sim Jalopy, is making another weird game with a laser-focused mood. This one is Landlord's Super – a very British, very '80s life simulation game. When you aren't hitting the pub, you'll ...

I have no idea if Nintendo and Syn Sophia are planning a fifth entry in the Style Savvy series for Switch, but I sure as heck hope they are. 2017's Styling Star ended up being my favorite game in the franchise and while I've enjoy...

I feel as if I've cooked more in video games than I ever have in real life or ever will. There are so many compelling choices right now, from lighter arcade co-op experiences like Overcooked to more intricate simulation games like Cook, Ser...

It seems each time I write about MechWarrior 5, the game is getting pushed back. Same as the last article I wrote, I regret to inform everyone looking forward to this series' return that the latest entry in the giant mech series has been de...

The Sims 4 is getting a makeover. Okay it's mostly cosmetic in nature (no not that "cosmetic," well kinda), but it's getting one all the same. The game will sport new box art and some UI changes, including a new loading screen and the optio...

We've gone entirely too long without a new PC game that captures the magic of the original Zoo Tycoon, but with Planet Zoo this year, Frontier Developments is looking to set things right for neglected fans. It's a management sim in which yo...

We've got some Steam copies up for grabs in today's contest for Between the Stars! Space is super big. And super vast. And super scary. It's kind of like the ocean (huge, expansive, terrifying), but like, different. It's so weird! I think I...

Contests are a gamer's best friend: Win a Switch copy of Little Friends: Dogs & Cats! When I said I was Dtoid's Senior Dog and Cat Correspondent, I wasn't kidding. Do you need proof beyond my already stellar resume filled with dogs and ...

There's nothing like a fan-favorite crossover to boost an aging game into the headlines. Ghostbusters is back, and not just in movie form. The theme park management sim Planet Coaster has recruited Dan Aykroyd and William Atherton to repri...

Navigate the horrors of the intergalactic corporate world and enter our contest for Godly Corp! I will never, ever let the torch go out on weird games. I've covered this one before in Getting Weird with Wes, and now it's back to haunt ...

Folks, I'm back on my House Flipper bullshit. The long-awaited (by me, and other honest-to-goodness human beings, I swear!) Garden Flipper DLC is now out on Steam. The original simulation game tasked players with clearing out nasty homes, s...
