Brace yourselves, people who start salivating and jumping up and down whenever something that's potentially about the Nintendo Switch's successor - I'm gonna say it: the Switch 2?!? - surfaces. Yooka-Replaylee, the amusingly-named remaster of Yooka-Laylee, has just been announced to be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and unspecified "Nintendo platforms".
]]>Just a few days ago, Pathea Games finally revealed what’s next for the My Time At Portia and My Time at Sandrock series, and of course, the third installment will be another open-world simulation game; My Time at Evershine.

]]>If you enjoy standing by virtual bodies of water and praying that you've picked the right worm to tempt what dwells within to take a little nibble, the latest update for No Man's Sky is definitely for you. Dubbed Aquarius, it arrives today, September 4, and is all about reeling in alien fish via a bunch of new mechanics.
]]>Dredge, as both me and at least two of my coworkers have written before, is good fun. Its latest bit of DLC, The Iron Rig, is buy and large more of that same kind of fun, but I can’t help but feel that, at least from a narrative perspective, it had the potential to offer a bit more than it does.
]]>One of the current Next Fest's most pleasant and colorful games - out of the many that are offering a neat little demo - is Amber Isle, which looks like Animal Crossing, except with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals as villagers instead. It behaves and is designed exactly like you'd expect.

]]>It’s gonna be a long time before I forget seeing those eyes for the first time.
]]>Dredge may be one of the best indie games of the year, but it's definitely no obscure cult classic: the Lovecraftian fishing sim has already sold a million copies since its launch on March 30th. This surprising figure emerged during an interview by Game Developer with members of the team at Black Salt Games during the recent PAX Australia, in which producer Nadia Thorne admitted that 100,000 copies was their goal for the first year — a figure they in fact surpassed within 24 hours of going on sale.

]]>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.
]]>Dredge is one of those games that comes along that almost defies conventional description. It’s a trading and exploration sim like Elite, but with a tropical Wind Waker aesthetic, and a page-turning horror story told in the style of a visual novel. It’s all of those things, and yet, nothing you can compare it to really does it justice, because it’s really about the atmosphere.
]]>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.

]]>It’s not hard to find something to like about Thymesia, the new souls-like from OverBorder Studio. Your overall feelings on the game, however, will be dictated by how much you end up enjoying its best qualities.
]]>There's no better way to spend some quality time with family and friends than romping through some of the best co-op games around.
]]>If you’re looking to scare yourself silly with some of the best horror games of all time, then you’re in the right place. Halloween has been and gone, but it's always an appropriate time to get cosy and play something spine-tingling. Whether you’re looking to lose sleep for fear of what lurks in the shadows, or you simply want some fear-fuelled laughs, there are an abundance of tremendously terrifying video games out there to try.
]]>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.
