Tower Lab is a neat little tower defence roguelite I would have loved wasting time with in IT class as a teen

How do teens in IT classes waste their time these days? When I was a young whippersnapper, when my teacher wasn't looking I'd head to sites like Miniclip, Nitrome, wherever I could get my hands on some Flash games, to play all sorts of little oddities, particularly system heavy ones that were fun to mess around with for 10 minutes once in a while. Games like that feel rare now with the death of Flash, but I think Tower Lab, a physics roguelite tower defence deckbuilder where you attempt to bla

Mörk Borg Heresy Supreme is as unkind as it is darkly enchanting

Sometimes, the world you live in sucks. It is a place filled with despair, and misery, and blood, guts, and death. This is much the case with the world of Mörk Borg, an apocalyptic fantasy TTRPG where you have no sense of hope, only dread, that is now also a video game. This video game, Mörk Borg Heresy Supreme, is more of an action RPG, though its tabletop routes are still to be found, and it is as mean as it is darkly enchanting. Read more

After pulling Taiwanese horror game Devotion from sale in 2020, GOG say they find their decision "difficult to reflect on"

Soon after it launched in 2019, Taiwanese horror game Devotion was pulled from sale following some controversy regarding Chinese president Xi Jinping and Winnie The Pooh (long story). It was made available for purchase again a couple of years later, though it should have been a touch earlier than that as it was promised to be released on GOG late 2020. However, on the same day it was announced to be returning, GOG put out a statement saying they wouldn't be releasing it after all. Now, half a

Far and Herdling devs' next release is an already satisfying and tactile roguelike deckbuilding pinball game

Roguelike deckbuilders! They're everywhere! It's a bit of an epidemic, honestly, sorting the wheat from chaff is a tough job. Of course, once in a while a genuinely novel take on the genre rolls around, and PinKeep has done just that, a pinball game where you change the playfield as you progress through runs. And it's from the devs behind the Far series and Herdling! Read more

Look at that, Highguard is coming out next week after all, with a gameplay overview coming, oh, that's odd, launch day

Highguard was never a game that was going to win me over, as I generally only like single-player shooters if any, but it isn't helped by the fact that since its announcement there hasn't been a lick of actual marketing to help it prove itself. This, of course, has been the subject of much discourse, to which I will contribute slightly in the coming paragraphs, but the main point of all this is to say that actually, against all odds, Highguard is in fact sticking to its January 26th launch date

After 250 hours, I keep coming back to Arc Raiders not because it's surprising, but because it's predictable

When I gave extraction shooter Arc Raiders a glowing review in November, I wasn't certain it would keep me hooked. Two months later and I'm 250 hours deep. Despite clear flaws – and developer Embark Studio's insistence on retaining AI-generated voice lines – I feel its pull every day, and not for the reasons I would've thought. I used to think what was special about Arc Raiders was that every round was different, that anything could and would happen when you met another player mid-r
