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...

Automachef is basically an episode of How It's Made in video game form, and I'm all about it. The upcoming PC and Nintendo Switch simulation title tasks hopeful food tycoons with devising automated kitchens. This trailer starts out straight...

If Ghost Town Games keeps the hits coming, I'll keep turning up. Overcooked 2 was already a co-op staple in this household, but with continued support through patches and DLC in recent months, the lovingly hectic cooking game has risen to g...

Overcooked 2 is a figurative backpack game of mine. I'm quite content to pull it out every now and then, plow through whatever new add-on has released, and stash it away in the back of my memory. But every few months, I'm happy to rum...

My craving for more Overcooked 2 hasn't let up yet, and it's not showing any signs of slowing down this year. I'm insatiable! Ghost Town Games has kept us occupied with numerous additions since launch -- some free, some paid -- and there's ...

The early reactions to My Time at Portia weren't convincing enough for me to drop whatever I was playing at the time, but I've left the crop-growing, ruin-exploring, relationship-navigating life sim on my low-priority backlog. I'll get to i...

Farming/life simulator My Time at Portia (which is apparently really good) will be leaving early access next week. Launching on January 15, 2019, you'll be able to grab the game from Steam or the Epic Games store for £24.99 / $29.99 /...

I'm not ready to stop playing Overcooked 2, and thankfully, I don't have to! Ghost Town Games has come out with Kevin's Christmas Cracker, a free batch of DLC with five new holiday-themed levels and fresh recipes including Christmas pudding...

Just when you thought World War II shooters were dead and buried, out comes another one. Publisher Team17 has announced that online, massive scale, team-based first-person shooter Hell Let Loose will be hitting early access in early 2019. B...

The recent New Game+ update for Overcooked 2 that added an unlockable fourth star on every level was a nice gesture for high-score chasers, and I'm still working my way through the lot. But, above all, I just wanted more kitchens. That's al...

I've got my money's worth out of Overcooked 2. My wife and I blitzed through every stage (including bonuses) with three stars over the course of a few weeks, and now there's a dreaded fourth star New Game+ mode ready and waiting for free. F...
