I love games about fighting fires. They aren’t made very often despite the potential that the premise carries. But Firefighting Simulator – The Squad is the second one we’ve gotten this year. And while, yes, you do fight fires, the game mostly is neither fun nor much of a simulator. What we’re left with is a […]

It’s not the end of the story that makes the experience, but the journey we take to arrive there. This adage is apt when used to describe The Pathless. If you want, you can make a beeline for the ending in several hours. Or you can immerse yourself in the vast, digital lands before you […]

Warframe and Destiny have made a ton of money. The allure of running through areas while taking down enemies and grabbing loot and resources is a time-tested grind that goes right for the brain’s pleasure center. While those games obviously focus on shooting, Godfall plays more like a light Dark Souls. It won’t win over anyone who doesn’t like these […]

My sole expectation going into Bugsnax was that any I had would be completely and utterly eviscerated. In a […]

Yes, it’s called Time to Stop Time. If you read that title and think, “What’s that about?” then I implore you to think about it for a few seconds. To be blunt, the game is stupid. It uses some pre-made assets. It was made by two people. It’s also too easy most of the time. But y’know […]

Hooray for games about time travel. There’s just something about titles that allow you to hop between timelines in the blink of an eye. YesterMorrow is a 2D platformer with action and puzzle elements that makes solid use of its time travel mechanics. But that isn’t even close to what makes the game special. The charming […]

It’s easy to discount Chicken Police on account of its gimmicky premise, but animals and intrigue are the future of noir. There’s an unmistakable charm to the game that lures you in and holds you hostage until the credits roll.
