Moving is never fun when you're the one doing the heavy lifting. You don't want to break the stuff you're keeping. You don't want to scuff up the floors or walls you're leaving behind. You definitely don't want to get your hopes up about a ...

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair brandishes a final challenge that's so difficult, it lives up to the billing in its title. The eponymous Impossible Lair is brutally hard, and nothing in the game up to that point really prepares yo...

If you were holding out for an all-in-one, game-of-the-year-style package for the indelible Overcooked 2, that's an option on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 starting today. It's under $50. Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition comes ...

When I think of "dungeon crawlers," I tend to picture very specific imagery – and Going Under, a "satirical dungeon crawler about exploring the cursed ruins of failed tech startups," isn't it. It's darling as hell! The creator, Aggro...

War never changes but Worms does. This slippery, slimy artillery shooter has some iteration over the years; moving from 2D to 3D certainly qualifies, but this series is still rooted firmly in worms blowing each other to smitheree...

If you haven't completely combed Blasphemous yet, or you're planning to eventually play the gnarly metroidvania game again when time allows, some good news: a major patch just dropped on consoles. Patch 2 is meant to "make Blasphemous feel ...

Golf With Your Friends is one of those surprisingly popular Steam games you don't often hear about in casual conversation. The 12-player minigolf game has been doing its thing in Early Access since 2016, but now it's gearing up for a full l...

Moving Out, a couch co-op game about moving couches (and other junk), is next on my local multiplayer list. Between that near-universal premise, the warm aesthetic, and the possibility of player-led hijinks, developer SMG Studio and Overcoo...

The end is in sight for Overcooked 2, but there are still a couple empty spots left to fill on the map. The latest batch of free content for Overcooked 2, the Spring Festival update, is available this week on Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayS...

Overcooked 2 has a new batch of holiday-themed levels for 2019 with killer candy canes and cookies. The Winter Wonderland update launched today on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and it's totally free. There are five new ...

Maybe you don't need another survival-focused sandbox game in your life right now. To be honest, I don't either! But every so often I'll want to scratch that itch, and The Survivalists has potential. It's a shipwrecked "survival-lite" game ...

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair has a wildly inconsistent difficulty curve. Most of the game is breezy platforming, and then the final challenge is a grueling gauntlet unlike anything before it. You can attempt the Impossible Lai...

There are 48 bees to find in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, and they're important because nabbing as many as possible is the only way most people will get through the final challenge. Clearing the Impossible Lair is needed to beat th...

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair lays it all out in the title. This is another game that stars Yooka and Laylee, sure -- that much is obvious. But, more crucially, attention should fixate on the Impossible Lair, the endgame challen...

Blasphemous might be 2019's gnarliest video game. Its odds are certainly up there. Drawing direct inspiration from the usual suspects like Dark Souls and Castlevania – the series, I mean, not just Symphony of the Night – Bl...

As much as I'd be fine playing Overcooked 2 indefinitely, it's getting to be that time. The third and final DLC release in the season pass, Carnival of Chaos, is out now for players on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It's ...

No one likes having to guilt-trip their friends into helping them move, but that won't be an issue with Moving Out, a hectic co-op action game from Death Squared creator SMG Studio. It looks lovely. We've touched on Moving Out before (I ne...

We've been optimistic about Blasphemous for what feels like years now, and with the end in sight, developer The Game Kitchen has seen fit to release a half-hour-ish PC demo for its bleak, religious action-platformer title. The first thing I...

Another helping of Overcooked 2 next month? Don't mind if I do! The third and final slice of Overcooked 2's Season Pass is going all out with a circus theme, complete with a new stage-traversal mechanic – human cannonballs! – an...

From today, the midpoint of August, it's exactly 2.5 months until the end of October. By then, we'll have our hands on a new 2.5D mascot platformer that has a popular name attached to it. Playtonic Games has revealed that Yooka-Laylee and ...

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...

One of the cooler features from the upcoming Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the ability to alter the states of levels by changing the weather in the overworld. It wasn't really present in the E3 demo, but we now have a short look ...

At this point, with the debut of Night of the Hangry Horde, I can safely recommend that everyone who digs Overcooked 2 should get the season pass at their convenience. It's twenty bucks well spent. Ghost Town has proven that it knows how to...

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair popped up unexpectedly a couple weeks ago, and we were able to get some hands-on time with it at E3 last week. It takes the lizard-and-bat duo from 2017's crowdfunded 3D platformer and flattens the actio...

Have you heard about Blasphemous? You need to hear about Blasphemous. It's a dark-fantasy action game from The Last Door creator The Game Kitchen and publisher Team17, and it looks gnarly in all the right ways. I was already feeling the rel...
