It's that time of year again: the time when we stuff ourselves with discounted PC games and too much food. The 2020 Steam Autumn Sale began today with thousands of deals running until December 1. From the looks of the best-sellers list, peo...

Triband took the gameplay-as-comedy premise of What the Golf? to its (il)logical extreme, but the team hasn't run out of outlandish ideas for golf at its most abstract. The Apple Arcade version of What the Golf? got a Sporty Sports Special ...

Is it that time already? It sure is. The 2020 Steam Summer Sale is here until July 9 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific with countless game deals, a "save five bucks if you spend $30" offer, and loads of animated stickers. No, really – check these...

Magic: The Gathering Arena launched last fall (after a lengthy beta period), and continues to stroll through each set (Core 2021 is coming soon). But it's sadly still on just the PC platform: until this week, that is. Wizards of the Coast h...

If there is one thing the Switch has no shortage of, it's games that were announced years ago that haven't materialized yet. Case in point, RPG Maker MV. The console port of the PC game-making software, which is also coming to PS4 but not X...

Steam is back with another game-backlog-clearing exercise for 2020. I barely made a dent last year, but I enjoyed having a nudge to play – or at least think about playing – some of my library's deep cuts. This time, Steam's Spri...

The next time you're in the mood for a point-and-click adventure, you might want to consider VirtuaVerse now that it's out on Steam and GOG. It's a cyberpunk romp with "hardware graveyards, digital archaeology, tribes of cryptoshamans, and...

Ten years ago, we covered the very first Humble Indie Bundle – a unique concept at the time that snowballed into something truly long-lasting. Think of how different the landscape felt. Think back on what kinds of indie games were bl...

Stylish strategy shooter John Wick Hex will be blasting onto PS4 next month, following its previous release on PC back in October 2019. The news was revealed by publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment, also dropping a brand new trailer which ...

[This review was originally published in 2019. Shinsekai is out on Switch today, and it's worth revisiting.] When Apple Arcade was first announced, I never expected to one day use the subscription service to play a deep-sea metroidvania gam...

I can think of only a few digitally-distributed PC games that I really, truly wish I could've returned, no questions asked, because they weren't the right fit for me. (My technical issues and complaints run far deeper.) Progress has been ma...

It's been a couple of years, but Florence – a storybook-style game about a 25-year-old caught up in this thing called life – still rings true. It's a short, impactful experience, one that tends to stick with players. Follow...

New year, new sales. If you're looking to pick up some PC games right now, you're in luck. GOG has around 1,500 deals in its Lunar New Year sale, a humbling reminder that there are entirely too many video games to keep track of, much less p...

It's hard to wrap your head around the scope of a crisis like the one Australia is facing. Numbers on a page – no matter how wide-spread and terrifying they sound – can't fully capture the devastation. This week, Humble Bundle a...

And that's a wrap for the Steam Awards 2019. Over the past month, Steam users have nominated their favorite games of 2019 across eight different categories, from the classic Game of the Year award to more (potentially) surprising awards mea...

As we near the New Year, it's a big sale day in the world of PC gaming. The Steam Winter Sale 2019 kicked off this morning, and after some inevitable launch woes, the storefront is now relatively stable. Apart from the usual deals, Steam is...

I can't say I'd recommend subscribing to Apple Arcade for a whole year – not while the iOS, Mac, and Apple TV game service still has to prove its longevity – but the option exists for those who want it. Normally $4.99 per month,...

Baby Yoda is in our shows, our social media feeds, our texts, and every other conceivable place a pop-culture phenom could latch onto – even video games. As of today, Baby Yoda is also in The Sims 4. Update 1.59.73.1220 added The Chil...

Over the decades, games and ideas come and go. At the end of last decade, plastic instrument music games were riding high, but these days they're all but gone. Today, hero shooters and battles royale are the hot ticket, but who knows how lo...

Last weekend, after spending entirely too long sifting through filler on the Nintendo Switch eShop to try and turn up another afternoon co-op game, I found it: Wilmot's Warehouse, an ingenious little creation. It's a video game about an eve...

What's the best video game of 2019 that you suck at? I bet you have an answer ready to go. That's one of the questions at the center of the Steam Awards, an annual community-centric ceremony meant to highlight the best and brightest PC game...

In an already shopping-crammed week, here's one more sale to keep tabs on. The Steam Autumn Sale 2019 is running from today until December 3 at 10:00am Pacific with deals, deals, and more deals. First and foremost, I have to give a shout-ou...

The so-called "everything" update for Stardew Valley is now playable on PC and Mac, and after reading the 1.4 patch notes, I feel like I need to hire a personal assistant and tell them to "clear my schedule." I've sunk an unreasonable amoun...

How are you getting along with the new and (arguably improved) Steam library layout? It's all so very... large. And I feel like even if the library refresh was an across-the-board improvement over the original design – I think the new...

The video game hardware company 8BitDo has been on a roll lately, and while its latest device is highly niche, it's also fascinating. The company is now selling an NES-style wireless mouse for PC and Mac. It's as if someone reached into a ...
