Worship is a game about leading your cultists into battle, Pikmin style, and I am so, so here for it. It reminds me of the first time I saw Don't Starve. The art style and concept immediately grabbed me. This is the next game from Struggl...

Even though Crusader Kings III is already out and available for all your nepotistic megalomaniacal fantasies, Paradox is continuing to push its Crusader Kings II candy on strategy fans at large. The base grand strategy game was previously m...

Sometimes it feels like Evil Genius was a pretty recent game. Yeah, recent. 2004. I played it while I was waiting for Half-Life 2 to be released. I was in high school. High school. That was practically yesterday, right? The original studio ...

[Update: A community member has pointed out a pretty active petition to bring Halo Wars 2 to Steam, as well as provide support.] The history of Halo Wars has always been relatively rocky. In its prime, Halo could basically do no w...

I understand companies not wanting to flood packaging with physical instruction manuals a lot of people will never use or read. But...I want them, and frequently seek them out. Nosey Tengu and a team of creatives heeded that call for Fire E...

Almost five years after Grim Dawn was released on Steam, Crate Entertainment is turning the page on its action-RPG in favor of a new game, a resource-flipping city-builder by the name of Farthest Frontier. It has a lot of familiar city-buil...

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,...
