Alan Wake’s return to its horror roots feels a bit lacking compared to the main game, but its examination of artificial intelligence and the relationship between art and science arguably belies some of the boldest meta-commentary yet. After a rollicking romp through the multiple perspectives of the Night Springs DLC earlier this year, Alan Wake ...
KeelWork’s gorgeous shooter dares to innovate in the genre and strives to unite players of all levels. This is what a blockbuster shooter should be like. Arcade shooters are, in fact, about vulnerability. Despite their reputation for being at their most intense, over-the-top, they almost always put you in control of a weakling armed with ...
Combat and RPG progression get a clever social twist in this relaxing fantasy. I was looking for treasure and glory in the dungeon, but in the city I was looking for Reno. It was really weird because Reno looked like he was trying hard. He dressed like Blade Runner and spoke in aphorisms. He was ...

It is said that even the best of plans often go awry, and Mini Motorways makes that clear. What starts out as a pleasant city planning simulation evolves into a frenetic puzzle that you must solve before time runs out. The stress of having your carefully planned urban infrastructure collapse before your eyes is undeniable. ...
The fall of Babylon’s fall never ends. Designed for multiplayer, the game is clearly in agony when one person finds himself alone on PC. It’s official, Babylon’s Fall underperforms Anthem. A month after falling below 10 players on Steam, the game from the makers of NieR and Bayonetta is dangerously close to being canceled. When ...
You’ve heard this story before. While the details may be different, the thrust of the story is the same. When the world sucks, there is only one person who can save us – the chosen one, through her sheer power of chosenness, must embark on a disastrous journey to stop the terrible that threatens the ...

Please have a safe ...

Included among the puzzle that sharpened the Superliminal mind and the expansion of Kingdom Hearts III was an exciting container depicting the first-person journey into a dreamlike place. The video included some interesting topography and trippy views, ...
