Sword of the Sea is a short, well crafted game following in the footsteps of its creator's previous wins. Playing casually you'll probably reach the credits in a few hours but there's enough fun and hidden extras that there's plenty more to
Donkey Kong Bananza is the best Donkey Kong in a very long time and a strong contender to be one of the best games Nintendo has ever made. The game has been built to provide a pathway to a fun experience for just about anyone. It’s approachable for younger
Duck Detective : The Ghost of Glamping is one of the best examples that games don’t have to be long to be great. This is a game you can complete, with all achievements, in under two hours without much effort. It’s length feels right for the game, it packs
The last month of my video game playing time has been a lot of small indie games on the steamdeck. He is Coming is the most recent addition to that roster. The game is a rougelike where you move around a map picking up items and fighting enemies. You’ve
9 Kings is a deck building, city building, synergy building combo that manages to find a sweet spot in a mix of genres. I played hours of the game while traveling in June and while it remains in early access there’s already a lot to like. If you’re

Blue Prince is frustratingly good. The combination of rougelite and puzzle make for a game that's simple on the surface but is built on layer after layer of discovery. The game had me reaching for a notebook to jot down the game’s various secrets slowly working through
It’s been an odd week for Nintendo. On the one hand, the switch 2 looks like its addressed almost all the complains people had about the aging switch system. On the other hand, there’s the price. Putting aside the whole situation around tariffs, it feels like the switch
One genre of game that I think is really missing in the market is the Solo, turn based CRPG. Now I don’t necessarily mean no party, I mean you get to level, equip and control just one person. If you have a party, they do their own thing. You
I have one of those Inside Out core memories. I was probably thirteen or so and I’m sitting next to a friend watching him play the newly released Final Fantasy 10. He’d come to stay at my house and brought his PlayStation with him just to keep playing.
All the monster hunting parts of Monster Hunter Wilds are the best they’ve ever been. There’s a lot around the edges that borders on feeling pointless but as a long time fan of the series those elements are very easy to ignore. This is one of those games
