I really like games like Splatoon 3, where you can switch at will between a kid and a squid. No extra tiers of nonsense. No microtransactions to wade through. No endless list of perks to mix together. No DLC splitting the player base. Just squids, kids, and downright impeccable vibes.  That’s basically been the elevator …

The best rhythm games are great for gamers of all ages and abilities. They can be fantastic party games or great ones to enjoy solo, and every single one of them will have banging beats.  No matter your console preference, ability, or whether or not you like to play solo …

A few minutes into my American Arcadia (opens in new tab) hands-on demo, it quickly becomes apparent something very strange is going on. Beginning with 2.5D side-scrolling, I play as Trevor Hills, a senior account manager at a corporation called Inac. I’m just about to begin another day at work …

Loot River is a big ol’ bully of a game, and I can’t stop playing the victim. Every time it paints the walls with my blood, I come back robbed of everything I gained in my previous run, trudge my way through a newly generated parallel universe, prevail over whatever …

Noxious green gas nips at my ankles, bullets whiz past my head, and a rumbling that resembles the sound of an oncoming tornado puts my heart in my throat. I go prone and desperately try to reload my LMG, which takes up far too much of my precious little time …

Percival and Hildred are a match made in hell. The two playable characters in Ravenous Devils, he runs the tailor shop on the top floor, she cooks in the cellar kitchen, and locals flock to the cafe in between to grab delicious snacks. We rarely get to see happy couples …
