The thing that's sold me most on Silent Hill f so far is its slightly outdated UI

Okay, now, I know you've probably read that headline and thought to yourself "why on earth would outdated UI in Silent Hill f be a good thing?" Allow me to explain! To be a contrarian for a moment, I think that a large amount of triple-A games have incredibly boring UI. It's very much because of that late 2010s trend of simple, emboss-free graphic design you see in logo design everywhere these days, and I hate it. Read more

Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion looks like a boomer shooter for the Newgrounds generation, and it's out next month

I feel like every time I write about shooters, I always have to add a caveat along the lines of, "I don't really like shooters… but!" There often is a but, because occasionally one of 'em rolls around that feels like it just gets me, you know? This week, it's a shooter that feels like it was born to be a Flash game on Newgrounds in the mid-2000s that you'll sometimes bring up to your friends saying "man, remember that one game?" It's called Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion, and as simple as its title is, there's a lot going for it. Read more

Crimson Desert Made Me Crash Out

I’m trying to put all my thoughts about the time I spent with the medieval fantasy RPG Crimson Desert at Summer Game Fest into words.

Oblivion Remastered’s Best Side Quest Is A World Within A World

It’s been a long time since I kept a spreadsheet for a video game, or even notes beyond what I need for work. I had one for the original Oblivion run back in my school days. Back then, I knew where to find every side quest in the game. There were over 250. Still are, but now they’re enhanced, beautified for the modern… Read more...

Defeating Monster Hunter Wilds’ Demi Elder Dragon Might Be The Game's Hardest Challenge So Far

Although Zoh Shia is the thematic boss of Monster Hunter Wilds, other beasts can put up a tougher fight.

The Sims 4's next expansion Enchanted by Nature looks perfect for cottagecore lovers on TikTok circa 2020

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest is a surprise bit of submechanophobia-inducing DLC that's washing ashore next week

There are two reasons you shouldn't watch the trailer for Still Wakes the Deep's just announced DLC Siren's Rest. The first is that, well, it'll probably spoil at least some of the events of the base game given that the expansion is set more than a decade on. The other is for the subset of you that have just the worst case of submechanophobia, because the trailer is absolutely full of man-made objects under water. You've been warned, don't come crying to me if you don't heed me, I'll just say I told you so. Read more
