Tactical RPG Demonschool will release on September 3, 2025, just under a month from now. We've been looking forward to this one for years, since the first previews back in 2022, and though it was pushed back from 2024 it looks like we're finally, properly getting a crack at a good education and some demon battling via violent motion.For those just finding out about it, here's what the developer says:...

If you've ever read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen you may be familiar with old-timey ads for products like Bromo-Seltzer, a miracle cure-all for headaches, hangovers, nausea, nervousness, and all manner of ailments. Why is this medical marvel not available over the counter today? Because it contains bromide, which can build up to toxic levels in humans if regularly ingested, leading to bromism—a condition with symptoms including severe rash, hallucinations,...

Who among us doesn't enjoy cobbling together a ridiculous spaceship from spare parts and throwing it against a gauntlet of other spaceships to see which ship is the best?Probably some of us actually, as that's pretty specific, but it does describe Down with the Ship, a game that released a nice little demo on Steam this week that'll let you fight for asynchronous autobattling PvP glory.In it, you pick your...

AMD quietly released a new GPU this weekend, but there wasn't much fanfare for it. As reported by Tom's Hardware, the humble Radeon RX 7400 is the latest addition to AMD's 7000 series GPU line-up which first launched three years ago. It runs on the last-gen RDNA3 architecture with 8GB of GDDR6 RAM. Those specs alone should tell you exactly who this card is intended for: gamers on a tight...

One of the first American videogame magazines is now available for anyone to read, enjoy, and remix thanks to the Video Game History Foundation.

Doom: The Dark Ages is definitely one of my favourite games from this year, even if it didn't quite match the dizzying heights of Doom Eternal. But with its latest update, id Software's action-packed prequel may have taken two thundering steps toward the quality of its predecessor. Update 2 brings one massive new mode to the game, joined by an array of small but significant adjustments to the prequel's combat...

The runaway success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been exhaustively documented by this point. But the game's ecstatic reception by players came as a surprise not only because the game was made by a small (though not that small) team, but also because it's a turn-based RPG at a time when the market is dominated by roguelites and soulslikes and real-time action, with even Final Fantasy shifting toward fluid,...

I assumed that everyone with access to a PC would have played Portal at this point, but it seems this is far from the case, at least if Portal's all-time concurrent players are anything to go by. According to Steam Charts, the record for Steam player concurrents stands at just 3,370 players, which is apparently a quirk of the game launching before Steam kept accurate player records.Later today, a group...
