ROTETRA is Tetris where the blocks fall from four different sides at once and lord almighty I don't have the brainspace to be good at it, but it sure is fun

Look, I'm pretty reasonable at Tetris. I'm not one of those grand masters or anything, but I can both have fun and get a score that would at least make my hypothetical nephew impressed (assuming he also wouldn't be in the Roblox mines). Sometimes, though, a take on the beautiful block game rocks up that makes me question any such skills I may have. Today, that is ROTERA, a block stacking game in which you must manage tetronimos falling from four directions at once. Read more

You and I both know you're not sleeping well in this economy, so have a gander at Sheeps, a roguelite about counting sheep pouring out of a strange portal

I've never really been able to do that whole counting sheep thing to get to sleep. Just doesn't work for me. Instead, my brain prefers to latch onto something embarrassing I said when I was 14 and then imagine what the people who heard that must think of me, conveniently forgetting that 15 years have passed since then and only I would ever remember such an inane moment of a life. Segue! Here's a going about counting sheep called, you'll never guess it, Sheeps, and it's a roguelite so it's actu

Cancelled MMO spin-off Borderlands Online is playable once again, and the team behind the unofficial project thankfully didn't use any genAI to get it running

Where there's a will (and some talented, incredibly passionate modders), there is always a way in the world of video games. Today said will has manifested in the form of Borderlands Online, an MMO spin-off that was planned to be released exclusively in China as a free-to-play game. A build of that game was found a year ago, and now, it is playable. Neat! Read more

"Your word is undeniable truth": Can't be bothered to find evidence in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy? It's fine, because no matter what, you're always right

If the promises that Owlcat are making of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy aren't just PR fluff, it sounds like we might be in for a good bit of fun. In Dark Heresy, you are an acolyte of the Inquisition, meaning you have to look out for that titular heresy, which actually means that you're a space cop. Boo to that in the real world, obviously, but it's a narrative device that can make for some interesting storytelling, and according to the game's narrative designer, that storytelling manifests i

Take out some monsters and then turn them into take-out in the post-apocalyptic tycoon survival sim Midwest 90: Rapid City, out in early access next month

Surely Midwest 90: Rapid City isn't the first simmy, Fallouty game where you turn mutated monsters into grub and serve it up to customers in your own diner, is it? None come to mind right now. Let's not make any assumptions all the same, we can still appreciate what the tycoon survival sim set in a monster apocalypse is doing: letting you run a roadhouse that makes meals out of all the horrific creatures that want to kill you in an attempt to make ends meat. Yes, the pun's intended, I'm a prof
