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 future looks bright and bug-filled for Grounded. When the game was first announced, I liked the idea of a shrunken survival game well enough, but it wasn't until I played it that I appreciated just how much potential there is. Obsidian ...

With millions of players and a generally warm reception to the Early Access release of Grounded, Obsidian Entertainment is getting started on monthly updates for the backyard bug survival game. The first monthly update (0.2.0) went live to...

Since we checked in with Grounded, Obsidian has been busy. Before we wage a war on bees and try not to cower at the sight of a gargantuan koi fish darting around the pond, the studio has another patch this week – version 0.1.2 –...

We built walls from blades of grass. The spiders tore them down. We constructed weapons and went to battle. The spiders defeated us with little effort. We fled to a new home. The spiders just followed us. Honestly, the spiders in Grounded ...

All of my favorite survival games tend to have an unspeakable horror to keep me on my toes, and Grounded – a shrunken-down solo/co-op adventure from RPG powerhouse Obsidian – is no exception. Even if you're the kind of person wh...

In today's contest you can win a Steam copy of Dead Age 2! Zombies are everywhere! They're in armies, in U, and they even ate my neighbors! We just can't get away from them. And today is no different. Dead Age 2 just hit Steam Early Access,...

In today's contest you can win a Steam copy of survival game Green Hell! There are like a billion survival/crafting games out there, right? They're like roguelikes, where basically everything coming out is following that formula. Hard to ma...

Among Trees has some of the prettiest sunrises and sunsets I've ever seen in a video game. I'm not sure how in the mood everyone is for another Early Access survival game right now, especially one as unfinished as Among Trees, but it clicke...

A new Don't Starve game surfaced this week, and it's out of left field. Don't Starve: Newhome is a free-to-play mobile spin-off developed by Shengqu Interactive, published by Tencent Games, and licensed under Klei Entertainment. If you're o...

During today's PC Gaming Show, developer Robot Werkz revealed its next epic title, Icarus. Blending interstellar exploration with typical survival mechanics, players will travel beyond the stars, visit strange new worlds, and create ramshac...

Windbound strikes a particular mood in this gameplay trailer, and as someone who dug The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild enough to enjoy a (likely) lesser take on its exploration-focused format, I'm up for it. There's bow hunting, mush...

If the Bangles cared more about video games, they'd probably be singing "It's just another Free Game Thursday." It beats the hell out of Monday. Epic's new round of free video games has an underlying theme of survival. In one, you survive g...

You always want to test drive a car before you buy it. Take it around the block, get a feel for how it moves, kick the tires a few times. You'll have that opportunity with Obsidian's Grounded, but this test drive mostly serves to clear up s...

Developer IllFonic has announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger is headed to asymmetrical shooter Predator: Hunting Grounds. Arnie will be stepping back into the clay-covered boots of bullet-proof mercenary Dutch, the oh-so-quotable lead charac...

I feel like I'm locked in a perpetual game of chicken with Subnautica: Below Zero, a game I can't possibly dislike. I keep telling myself "This is the Early Access update. This is the one that'll get me to play." I say that every dang time,...

It's not the first island survival game, and it won't be the last, but Stranded Deep – a mix of Pacific Ocean island hopping and underwater scavenging – sounds tantalizing while I'm stuck indoors. After getting its start on Stea...

The Long Dark and Gato Roboto, two on-the-fence games I've been meaning to play for months, are coming to Xbox Game Pass soon. Will I play them? Hopefully! The former is a cut above many survival games, and the chilly wilderness backdrop so...

The whole premise of Obsidian's upcoming game, Grounded, is that you're a kid who's the size of a bug. Think about that. It's terrifying. Ants aren't so bad when we're dealing with normal proportions, but a person-sized ant is a horrorshow....

Obsidian's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids-style survival adventure Grounded is coming to Xbox One and Steam Early Access on July 28, 2020, the studio announced today during an at-home edition of Inside Xbox. As a miniaturized kid in a killer bac...

Good old Nexus Mods. If I ever need a laugh or a mod that adds replay value to an existing game, I can count on that site to deliver. Animal Crossing's Isabelle is now a part of a recent horror-tinted shooter, just not the one everyone expe...

Rust is such a ridiculous game, and I mean that in the best possible way. It's fascinating to watch it grow from the sidelines. The latest update, Farming 2.0, encapsulates that sentiment well. In a game about surviving on a harsh island w...

Indie developer Re-Logic has proudly announced that its survival/adventure title Terraria has sold a huge 30 million copies across all platforms since its original launch in May 2011.For those of you who aren't among that impressive number ...

I am absolutely down for an arrow-slinging, ship-building, island-hopping survival adventure game that doesn't look unnecessarily hostile or stingy. Anyone else? That's the premise for Windbound, an upcoming PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and...

We're due a new Resident Evil in just four days (read our review, by the way!), but that hasn't stopped people from looking one game ahead. There are new rumors regarding the next Resident Evil, and they allude to a very different expe...
