Fight your way through Fire and Brimstone to loot the Heart of the Train.

Slay the Spire studio Mega Crit has released Dancing Duelists, a free new deck builder created during a game jam as it explored the Godot engine following the recent Unity controversy. Mega Crit was one of many developers to criticise Unity's decision to begin charging studios fees based on the number times their game was installed by a user (Unity has since walked back on some of its changes, and CEO John Riccitiello departed not long after), writing, "Despite the immense amount of time and eff...

A decade in, Jackbox Games has established itself as a master of the mini-game format - and this latest crop of games from the annual franchise offers a familiar mix of instant favourites, as well as those you feel could still grow on you through further play. And, most importantly, there's often room for you to be as rude as you'd like. Jackbox has always been a good family game choice, with its seamless smartphone controls a breeze to set up with those who may feel less at home holding a tradi...

The mainstream success of actual plays is inevitable, and we might be getting a glimpse into the future.

Video game analyst group Circana has released its September 2023 U.S. video game market highlights and in it, the company reveals that developer Bethesda Game Studios' Starfield was the best-selling game last month, which is the month it launched. And after just six weeks on the market, Starfield is already the seventh best-selling game of the year. February's Hogwarts Legacy remains in the top spot.  Starfield hit Xbox and PC on September 6 and while its Xbox Game Pass release surely helped it ...

Baldur's Gate 3 has already been seeping into the real world with the cast playing DnD in character, and now Karlach actress Samantha Béart has played through BG3 as Karlach, both basically in the game and out. It's a total joy to watch, surprising no one I'm sure, and proves that Larian knew exactly who should play the colorful cast of characters.

"2D Mario games often had the reputation of being unforgiving". The last two sections of the Super Mario Bros. Wonder 'Ask the Developer' interview are out now for your perusal, but there's one snippet that we thought was particularly interesting. It's no secret that the latest '2D' Mario adventure will be the first in roughly 11 years, which means the developers over at Nintendo have had plenty of time to figure out the direction for Wonder ahead of its release this Friday.

It's a normal day in the OSRS community.

Who is in the Alan Wake 2 cast? The Remedy Connected Universe is full of renowned characters brought to life by beloved voice actors, and there are plenty of fan favorites that could make a surprise cameo along the way. But which characters can we expect to encounter in this long-awaited sequel, and who are the voice actors behind them? We’ve got the answers. Remedy has confirmed that a number of Alan Wake 2 voice actors are reprising their roles from previous instalments in the Remedy Connected...

What is the best MW3 Longbow loadout? For the best sniper rifle in Modern Warfare 2, you want something that you can use to take down enemies from across the map. While it might take some practice depending on your aim, this MW3 Longbow loadout can destroy enemies at massive range with just one chest or headshot, and is up there with the best sniper rifles in the game. As we approach the Modern Warfare 3 release date, we need to start thinking about our loadouts, and a sniper-SMG loadout is an a...

Will there be Cities Skylines 2 mods? With bigger maps, signature buildings, and even new weather cycles, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Cities Skylines 2 has everything you could possibly need. However, with the immense mod support that the first city builder received, it would be a shame if this entry missed out on the community creativity that made Cities Skylines so engaging for so long. With the Cities Skylines 2 release date around the corner, players are already dreaming up their ide...

A free update for Dark Pictures: Switchback VR which adds a new Horde mode to the game is out now, just in time for Halloween. Switchback VR is a spiritual successor to Rush of Blood on PSVR, and is an on-rails shooter set on a horror-themed rollercoaster. The Horde mode, described by developer Supermassive Games as "nightmarish", pits the player against swarms of enemies, with each room containing increasingly tougher enemies.

New York Times continues to bolster its morning-coffee gaming portfolio.

Today Atlus has a couple of relevant reveals to share about the upcoming Tactics JRPG Persona 5 Tactica, on top of a new trailer and screenshots. 

Hellboy Web of Wyrd's most obvious selling point is that it was developed, reportedly, in close partnership with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. The over-the-shoulder action roguelike from developer Upstream Arcade is meant to be a faithful interpretation of the series' style, and while the Mignola-advised story is often impenetrably lore-heavy, the game's art direction evokes the Hellboy comics remarkably well.

Here at Supermassive Games, we are hugely excited to reveal The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR’s new fast-paced, arcade-style survival challenge. How many rooms can you complete as you descend into hell with just your guns and reflexes for protection? Our focus on Horde Mode was to deliver fast-paced, intense action combat with additional rollercoaster thrills...

But how wonderful can it really be? We are just days away from the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on 20th October and it is time to see what the critics think of the plumber's latest foray into the 2D world. This one has felt like a long time coming, with the build-up to its release showcasing a fresh visual style, mechanics and even a new voice actor. The question is, was it worth the wait? Here are Nintendo Life, we would answer very much in the affirmative. Super Mario Bros. Wonder recei...

A custom game mode and in-game skins will launch in November.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder almost had running 'live' commentary, like a sports game. Nintendo has released the final part of its Ask the Developer interview for the game, which includes discussion of live commentary that was ultimately scrapped. "Tezuka-san also once asked, 'Can't we have live commentary?'. I had absolutely no clue what he meant. But I interpreted it as a desire for a new experience, even if it's not necessarily in the form of live commentary," said Shiro Mouri, the game's directo...

What are the RoboCop: Rogue City system requirements? Despite the nostalgic feelings that are a driving force in RoboCop: Rogue City, a throwback first-person shooter, will its hardware requirements be criminally overambitious, or have us jumping for joy like we're hopped up on Nuke?

At a time when misinformation is rife on many platforms and is arguably even incentivized in some cases, YouTube is doing more to try and direct users to reliable sources of news. The platform is doing so on two fronts. First, YouTube is rolling out a dedicated, immersive hub for news. This page will pull together news from “authoritative sources” in several formats: video on demand, live streams, podcasts and Shorts. The aim, according to YouTube, is to help users learn more about a topic or st...

When it comes to blasting the undead with your friends, Killing Floor 2 is my pick. Sure, the likes of Valve’s Left 4 Dead and Turtle Rock’s Back 4 Blood have a lot going for them, but there’s a slightly tighter, more frantic feel to Tripwire Interactive’s take on the co-op zombie game that pushes it ahead of the pack for me. Now, a big, free Killing Floor 2 update titled Last Hans Standing has launched to celebrate Halloween 2023.

What are the Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost challenges? The spooky season is upon us, with various games celebrating with tricks and treats. Destiny 2 has the annual Festival of the Lost, which sees the return of the Headless Ones to haunt players while also giving them opportunities to earn highly desirable Exotic items. This year, the Halloween-themed event, one of the biggest in Destiny 2, sees new features that even long-term fans won't want to miss. You can also complete the Destiny 2 Twili...

The team behind the incredible roguelike deckbuilder Slay the Spire has released a new free game, after moving to the Godot game engine following Unity’s controversial fee policy that would see game developers paying more per game download.

The Cities Skylines 2 download size is 12 times bigger than the original Cities Skylines 1, as Paradox confirms that the new city builder will not be available to preload. Paradox has previously discussed Cities Skylines 2's performance, saying that the new game from Colossal Order has not reached internal targets, but will still be released on its original, intended date. The publisher behind Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis also outlines a new platform for Cities Skylines 2 mods and how t...

Kawaiite interesting. Publisher Rogue Games and developer Dabadu Games have today announced that the rhythm dance game, Hello Kitty and Friends Happiness Parade, will be bringing some cute choreography our way on 26th October. This one will see you teaming up with the titular Kitty and a handful of familiar faces including Kerokerokeroppi, Badtz-Maru and Pompompurin as you "bring joy to the universe" through the medium of — you guessed it — dance. There are 40 different tracks for you to shake y...
