Few games have completely sold me on their concept quite like The Plucky Squire. Just five seconds into my hands-off demo session with co-director James Turner, I’m smiling from ear to ear as I watch protagonist Jot walk through the pages of a storybook in chapter four of the adventure. …

I’m an amateur fleet commander with admirable intentions: I want to dominate the stars in Homeworld 3 with a massive squadron of Interceptors, the nimble fighters that look a lot like the Vipers from Battlestar Galactica. Hitting the population cap, I’m able to arrange my Interceptors into differing formation and …

In our Blasphemous 2 review, I describe The Game Kitchen’s blood-spattered second coming as “a Soulslike sequel that’s as unsettling as it is unpredictable”. For the most part, that’s in reference to the Metroidvania-meets-FromSoftware-styled adventure’s brutal boss battles, its disparate themes of tragedy framed by religion and cultism, and the …

Baldur’s Gate 3 is here, and it is sexy, thanks in large part to the cast who brought its often-horny heroes to life. But I think we all know that it is, in fact, the villains and antiheroes who hold the real sex appeal most of the time, and this …

At first glance, Worldless poses a conundrum. For the most part, the 2D adventure platformer unfolds in a quiet, rolling zen-like sprawl of platforms and ledges, glowing stars, distant moons, and alien plant life. Wandering around at your own pace, there’s merit in learning the game’s physics by taking your …

Something about Europa is undeniably devastating. At first I was too distracted to tell, ambling about a lush green meadow and gazing out at the watercolor panorama of grass, stone, and the vault of blue sky overhead. With a dreamy soundtrack playing as I climb ledges and glide over mossy …

I’ve always had an affinity for action-RPGs that draw outside the lines of the genre’s hard edges. Something like Dark Cloud, the Level-5 adventure which smartly combined procedural dungeoneering with refined city-building; Persona 4: Golden with its imitable blend of social connection and murder investigation, or Moonlighter which uses exploration …

I’ve never been the most coordinated person, but in Ghostrunner 2 I’m a one-woman calamity. Playing on the Gamescom 2023 show floor was my first experience with developer One More Level’s fast-paced action series, and, suffice to say, getting the hang of one-hit insta-kills, wall-running, and grappling hook traversal took …

I’ve set my sights on a bunny sporting an armored jacket in Party Animals. The adorable fuzzy fiend decked me with a shovel in the previous round of the Last Stand mode, which has teams fight it out on a platform with the aim of, as the name suggests, being …

Who is the Inquisitor Marrok in Ahsoka? So far, beyond their name, the new, shadowy figure is a complete mystery. All we know for sure is they’re on the dark side, helping the villains in their quest to find Grand Admiral Thrawn.  We’ve dug into Inquisitor Marrok below, with everything …
