Tron: Identity developer Bithell Games has announced its latest game, Tron: Catalyst, and it's the first game being published under Devolver Digital's Big Fan label.
]]>You. You there! Be afraid. Be very AFRAID.
]]>Indie game publisher Devolver Digital has just announced a brand new publishing label, and it's entirely focused on adaptations.
]]>I don't regret any of the nine hours I've spent with The Plucky Squire, but one of my most anticipated indie games of the year turned out to be a bit of a slog... again.
]]>The Plucky Squire - one of the coolest looking indie games set to release this year - has finally got itself a release date. It's going to launch on September 17, but PlayStation Plus subscribers will be happy to learn that they'll be able to download it day-one.
]]>Good news for PlayStation Plus subscribers with a taste for the wild side, as the August line-up of games have been revealed. These include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, and Cult of the Lamb. These games will be free to download for those out there with a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription starting August 20.
]]>With a seemingly unending barrage of layoffs and studio closures, it is incredibly heartwarming to see some of the talent that escaped the triple-A hellscape survive and thrive. Wolfeye Studios, the team behind the clever immersive sim Weird West, has begun working on its next project.
]]>I have a lot of time for Terra Nil. I've written about it before and extolled its virtues as a city-builder that doesn't do things by the book. It felt pertinent and relevent in 2023, and even more so as scorching heat waves cause chaos in 2024. It might be one of the most ecologically-aware games I've ever played. So it's nice to have an excuse to get eyes on it again this year.
]]>Skate Story is currently my most anticipated indie game. Having played around 45-minutes of it at Summer Game Fest 2024, in a small dark room installed in sunny California, it matched every expectation I had for it. Scratch that, it surpassed them, leaping over my initial hopes for the title with a little kickflip, leaving me genuinely astounded. Skating fan or not, it's a game you absolutely have to have on your radar.
]]>Nearly two years on from its initial announcement, we finally have a release date for Anger Foot, the latest title from the wacky squad at Free Lives. The shooter reemerged during Devolver Digital’s annual showcase.
]]>Tenjutsu is one of the more impressive reveals at Summer Game Fest this year, and certainly the highlight of the Devolver Direct. Tenjutsu is the new game from Sebastien Benard, the former designer and director of Dead Cells.
]]>Endless Legend and Wizard with a Gun are both free to play right now on Steam.
]]>The description of Children of the Sun tells you everything that you need to know without telling you much at all. You are THE GIRL, an ex-member of THE CULT who once promised you a simpler life. Instead, they made your life hell. Now, you’re hunting down members of THE CULT, exterminating each and every one of them using your mind-bending abilities, as you attempt to reach THE LEADER.
]]>Big Western style open-world RPGs from beloved Japanese studios who tend to be known for other things (inhale) are like buses: there's none for ages, and then two come along at once! See also: Clinton-era disaster movies about Earth getting clobbered by an asteroid. See also: Clinton-era disaster movies about America getting clobbered by volcanoes. See also: those ones about the White House (former home of Bill Clinton) getting clobbered by some guys with guns. I dunno. You don't read this anyway.
]]>That Sonic the Hedgehog Fall Guys clone has leaked, and somehow, it actually looks like it might not be half bad.
]]>Are you feeling lonely this Valentine's Day? Put down the pint of ice cream and your Blu-ray copy of Manchester by the Sea, because the developers at Deconstructeam alongside Devolver Digital (who else) are giving you the opportunity to express your love for indie darling The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood with a honkin wang and some tarot cards.
]]>The best dating sims aren’t always just about romance, or even dating a diverse roster of lovable characters. While they are, obviously, core features of the genre, the best dating sims will be utterly compelling in their own right; providing a personal experience where you get to tackle all matters surrounding life, love, and relationships.
]]>2023 was, for better or worse, a year. One of its good bits was The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, the only good game that came out in August. Ahem.
]]>Downwell can be easy to dismiss at first glance. Its retro graphics and seemingly basic roguelike gameplay don’t immediately appear to be anything worth writing home about, but as you delve deeper into Downwell (literally), you’ll find something wholly addicting and satisfying about its gameplay loop.
]]>After saucy fans of Cult of the Lamb had their hopes and dreams of a smutty update dashed by the game's community manager earlier this month, it looks like the spark of hope has been re-ignited for a sex update. That, or the game's social media manager is jumping in on the gag.
]]>Hades, one of the best games from 2020, will be joining Netflix's lineup of mobile games next year, alongside a number of other titles.
]]>Halloween is almost upon us, and even if you're too old for trick-or-treating, there's still one underappreciated tradition kids of all ages get to enjoy. I refer to the special time of year when indie devs — especially those whose works have spooky themes — get together to plan elaborate cameos in one another's games.
]]>Microsoft has announced the next batch of titles coming to Game Pass in September, and the list contains more than just Starfield.
]]>Gris might be one of the most commanding works of video game art I have played in a decade. Thanks to the artisanal touch of the artist Conrad Roset, Nomada Studio’s indie hit made waves back in 2018 – and now, five years later as it arrives on Game Pass (free to play for anyone with an Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass subscription), it’s as impactful and relevant as ever.
]]>To celebrate Cult of the Lamb’s first birthday, the game will be receiving its first ever collaboration, and what an apt crossover it is. The decrepit survival game that is Don’t Starve Together will be making its way into the realm of the cultists, while the relentless wilderness of Don’t Starve Together will be privy to some new Cult-inspired cosmetics.
]]>The Epic Games Store has been updated with the latest free games for the taking.
]]>The latest batch of games coming to Game Pass in August have been announced.
]]>During Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival 2023, Square Enix announced an upcoming collaboration between the MMO and Mediatonic’s party royale obstacle course hit, Fall Guys.
]]>PlayStation Plus has a killer line-up of free games this August, available for free across all tiers of subscribers. PGA Tour 2K23, wonderful PlayStation exclusive Dreams and the excellent Death's Door will all be downloadable starting August 1.
]]>When you’re dealing with a hybrid console, the best Switch games have to be just as brilliant on the bus home from work as they are on a 65 inch OLED.
]]>Microsoft has revealed more games coming to Game Pass in July, and things kick off today with the return of GTA 5 and the addition of Sword and Fairy: Together Forever.
]]>If you’re an avid fan of Fortnite or Fall Guys (and all the cosmetics that each game has on offer), I have some bad news for you. Or, good news, if you happen to be based in Mexico. Epic Games has announced that it will be changing the prices of each game's currency in some regions: Fortnite’s V Bucks, and Fall Guys' Show-Bucks.
]]>Welcome to The Best Games Ever Show episode 55: The best game with horse armour (but you can't have Oblivion)
]]>Sony has announced the three games PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers will get in June.
]]>Deconstructeam, the Spanish microstudio responsible for iffy-but-interesting Gods Will Be Watching and beloved cult hit The Red Strings Club, have returned to the point & click genre with The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, a game that swirls with mysticism and Wiccan fantasy lore like a Brighton pop-up shop swirls with Nag Champa.
]]>Microsoft has announced the next batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, otherwise known as just Game Pass.
]]>Shown off during last week's Indie World Showcase from Nintendo, Cult of the Lamb has received a major content update packed with new features, for free.
]]>Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase aired last night, showing off more than a dozen interesting, indie titles that’ll be coming to the Nintendo Switch during 2023. The clue is in the name when it comes to what was on display; indie titles.
]]>They say the definition of insanity is to do the same thing, over and over and over and over again – but what if, in repeating your life in a continual loop and learning a little bit more about the reason for your existence each time, you actually made progress? What if, instead of being doomed to insanity from repetition, it actually saved your life?
]]>I have written before about how good – and inexplicably quiet – Netflix is with its gaming offers. The streaming giant has been moving into the gaming space at quite a pace lately, making killer adaptations and spin-offs for The Witcher, Cyberpunk, League of Legends, Castlevania, Tekken, and many more besides. But it seems that most people (well, 1% of the company’s 200 million users) aren’t aware of the incredible games that you have access to for no extra cost as part of your subscription. And, yesterday, one of 2023’s most interesting titles was added to that roster.
]]>In the pantheon of strange choices, Devolver Digital’s decision to create an arcade spin-off from its Enter the Gungeon series is perhaps one of the most interesting ones. Arcades are in better health than perhaps a decade ago, but also arguably aren’t exactly the hottest or most fertile ground in gaming.
]]>As mobiles have become more powerful pieces of pocket technology over the past decade or so, we’ve seen an enormous amount of games finds their way onto the smallest screen. Whether it's a mobile-only title, a port or adaptation of a prolific video game series, or - let's face it - a mere cash-grabbing clone, the App Store is packed with great games to play, and home to the best Apple Arcade games too.
]]>There is a massive selection of brilliant games available on PlayStation Plus, for both those with the trusty PlayStation 4 or a brand new PlayStation 5.
]]>We’ve made it past the spooky months and into November, which means we’ve just gotten a look at the new line-up of games in the November Game Pass. Stars of the show include Vampire Survivors, Football Manager 2023, and Return to Monkey Island, although the whole spread looks pretty tasty.
]]>Developer Wolfeye is celebrating the six-month anniversary of Weird West by making the entirety of the Bounty Hunter Journey free to all Steam players.
]]>Return to Monkey Island has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. The greatest trick it manages to play, however, is to pick up where Monkey Island 2 left off, 30 years prior, and do so while feeling entirely natural. Not a beat is missed, not a shred of strange discomfort. It just works. Older players will slide into this game’s embrace like an old, battered sofa. And it feels like home.
]]>Weird West players are getting new features when patch 1.04 drops, and one of the features is a permadeath mode.
]]>Gaming is a pricey hobby, but not every game comes with an up-front cost — and indeed, the best free-to-play games never require you to spend a single penny of your own cash in order to enjoy them to the fullest.
]]>The best cyberpunk games let you explore gorgeous, futuristic worlds, but you’re not supposed to like it. Coalescing in the hyper-capitalist ‘80s with the likes of Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira and Neuromancer, the Cyberpunk genre has its fibre-optic roots in similarly prophetic works from as far back as the ‘60s, including the original 1968 Phillip K. Dick short story, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, that Blade Runner is based on.
]]>Terrible Toybox, Devolver Digital, and Lucasfilm Games have announced Return to Monkey Island will be released in September for PC and Nintendo Switch.
]]>Massive Monster and Devolver Digital have announced that over one million have joined the Cult of the Lamb.
]]>Cult of the Lamb is Massive Monster and Devolver Digital’s answer to the question “What if someone combined Hades and Animal Crossing?” Maybe no one else was actually asking that question until now, but regardless, the roguelite base builder is proving to be rather a hit in the days following its launch.
]]>Return to Monkey Island has more news to share, less than two months after its surprise announcement. The game was confirmed for Nintendo Switch today as part of a Nintendo Direct. The sequel to the iconic adventure series launches exclusively on Switch, alongside PC.
]]>Yesterday, Fall Guys did something that many of us had been wanting them to do for a while now. Mediatonic's clumsy title went free to play, arrived on Xbox and Nintendo Switch, and introduced cross-platform play. This is a big move for the title, which appears to have a copious amount of adoring fans who have been waiting for this day.
]]>If you didn’t watch the Devolver Digital Showcase you really missed out, and Skate Story is one of the big reasons why. Created by Sam Eng and published by Devolver Digital, this radical indie game has you play a demon skateboarding through the underworld, pulling off sick tricks as you try your best not to bail and smash into pieces on the ground.
]]>If nothing else, you can count on Free Lives to deliver a bizarre and a little unnerving game. You can probably also count on Devolver Digital buying into the pitch. We got both of those during Devolver's Countdown event.
]]>Devolver Digital has announced it will host its annual summer showcase on June 9.
]]>The amount of video games with soundtracks that slap is immense, and the list continues to grow, with new classics like Baldur's Gate 3 joining an already stacked lineup. From atmospheric melodies to synthwave sounds and beyond, it can be quite whimsical how some of the best video game soundtracks will often have you feeling affectionately towards genres of music or specific songs that you may have never given a second thought to otherwise.
]]>Over 400,000 players have played Weird West since its release on March 31, and WolfEye Studios is celebrating with a zombie apocalypse.
]]>April Fools seems to be a prime opportunity for silly pranks and mischievous behaviour. I’ve never been a fan of it myself, and neither has Ron Gilbert. So, when the Monkey Island co-creater craftily announced that he might be working on a new Monkey Island game via his blog, Grumpy Gamer, on April 1, 2022, fans flocked to forums to share their confusion.
]]>Weird West releases today for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and critics have weighed in on whether or not you should immerse yourself in the simulated sandbox world from the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey.
]]>Flying Wild Hog has announced that Shadow Warrior 3 will be a PlayStation Now title at launch, which is good news for those who subscribe through the service.
]]>Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital have announced a release date for Shadow Warrior 3.
]]>What are the most anticipated games of 2022? The answer to that question is going to be different for everyone. Even looking ahead to the immediate future, it’s clear to see that 2022 is absolutely stacked with games. With Pokemon Legends Arceus, Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring and Dying Light 2 all set for release before the daylight hours start getting a bit more generous, it’s going to be an explosive start to a jam-packed year.
]]>Because Microsoft clearly didn't think that its Xbox Game Pass offering was decent enough already, the company has just added a surprise three more games to the service in the form of the gorgeous, hand-drawn puzzles of Gorogoa, the shipwrecked action-adventure of Olija and the 2.5D side-scrolling puzzle-platforming of The Pedestrian.
]]>Devolver Digital and developer WolfEye Studios announced (thanks RPG Site) that action RPG/immersive sim hybrid Weird West would be delayed to March 31 to make it more immersive and weird, pushing the game two months past its original release date of January.
]]>Devolver Digital released the latest trailer for feudal Japan-themed samurai game Trek to Yomi, a cinematic action game with a striking art style and perspective.
]]>Another week, another surprise launch on Xbox Game Pass! This time, it's Serious Sam 4 from Croteam and Devolver Digital. You'll play as the last remaining resistance to an extra-terrestrial invasion, leading the Earth Defence Force as Sam “Serious” Stone and his heavily-armed squad of misfit commandos.
]]>Devolver Digital announced today it has gone public, and the stock exchange values it at $950 million.
]]>The first of a collection of new trailers for Weird West, the new action RPG / immersive sim coming from developer Wolfeye Studios and published by the honest folks at Devolver Digital, has dropped.
