Balatro is one of the (many, many) games marked down for Steam’s annual summer sale. Take it from me: Picking up Balatro on sale — no matter how big or small the discount — is one of the safest bets you can make. As someone who couldn’t tell a flush from a full house but could rattle off every Pokémon TCG Pocket mechanic by heart, I only gave Balatro a shot...
Brahms! My boy! In the new horror sequel M3GAN 2.0, the killer robot doll from the first movie meets the memes where they live. She gets taller and faster and more fashion-forward; she flies through the air in a high-tech wingsuit; she sings Kate Bush; and, with a self-consciousness that threatens to ruin the bit, she goes on undercover missions where people say things like “M3GAN, you’re up.” As one...
Wreckfest 2's early access launch may have been smaller than a Fiat 500 after being run over by a monster truck, but developer Bugbear has been hard at work buffing out the sequel's bodywork since it launched back earlier this year. In May, the game received its first content update adding extra cars and tracks. Now, a second major patch folds in yet more of both, while also tuning up...
If you're looking for an exploration game that's less about clearing millions of icons, and more about finding your own path through a world filled with mysteries, Sable is the game for you. Shedworks' sci-fi coming of age story encourages you to take the world at your own pace, picking a direction and enjoying what happens along the way. It's a less stressful, more zen approach to open world design,...
Imagine, after two grueling waves in Elden Ring Nightreign, you and a couple of comrades reach the boss at the end of the second night and take him head-on, with surprisingly good results. It’s nearing the halfway mark of its health, and before Crucible Knight goes into its aggressive secondary phase, another health bar populates on the screen. It’s the hungry, hungry Golden Hippopotamus here to ruin your hot streak. ...
Like a bespectacled boffin dangling a piece of cheese over the cage of a two-headed lab rat, Abiotic Factor has been teasing me with its 1.0 release for a while. Developer Deep Field Games initially broached the subject back in April as it detailed its upcoming Cold Fusion update, before confirming Cold Fusion is the 1.0 update earlier this month.Now, Deep Field has pinned down a specific date upon which...
When Owlcat left behind the bloated Pathfinder system, a numberhead ruleset that held back the otherwise excellent Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, I rejoiced. Finally, with Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, they'd have the opportunity to focus on their strengths: storytelling and player freedom.But while Rogue Trader did have at least a couple of acts' worth of great writing and a neat warp exploration system, the rules were an absolute...
Not too long ago, Victorian stealth-em-up Gloomwood received a "research update" that lets players study dissected monsters and then inject their sweet juice directly into your veins for temporary powers. More recently, the early access immsim's latest update has expanded on those research options.Spending time at your lab gazing into the abyss now grants permanent passive bonuses. You can dissect crowmen for a holstered speed boost, bat barbers for added...
I didn't hate my time with Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition, because it's basically the same stompy action game I loved only with some more polygons so those oversized shoulderpads look a bit rounder. But I didn't love the way the new weapon-select menu blocks the middle of the screen and hangs around just long enough to be annoying, or the black-screen bug, or the crash to desktop that made...
