The first new card I found in Forbidden Solitaire's new DLC The Discarded gave me the power to throw a card like a knife at whatever horror was trying to kill me. Although nothing warranted such a desperate move, I fear it won't be long before I find myself out of options now that I've seen the devilish new tricks the developers have dealt in the DLC's first hour.I'm lucky...
I love the standard farm sim formula. Becoming a titan of capitalism by hoeing rows of tomatoes by hand is great, but I've really been craving one that's about tending the environment that already exists instead of clear-cutting an entire forest to make way for my perfectly optimized agricultural vision. Some games have tried, but The Regreening, a demo I played in the current Steam Next Fest—launching on Steam on...
As AI continues to get smarter, the schemes using it have often become more successful. However, one South Korean cyberhacking gang, reportedly led by a self-taught hacker using AI tools, doesn't seem to have made off with a king's ransom.

Overwatch devs took one look at Jetpack Cat and Bastion's combo and went 'oh, that's a little scary'
Almost a year ago now, Team 4 debuted a new kind of Overwatch, and as part of the huge spotlight we learned that the live service FPS would undergo a new cadence with yearly themes comprising several seasons. Five new heroes were also added straight away; Mizuki, Emre, Anran, Domina, and of course Jetpack Cat. Ahead of being added to the game, Overwatch's community was overjoyed to see Jetpack Cat,...
I have always been one of those pro-Dark Souls 2 revisionists, but man, they really chafe your hams on this one. Iron Keep, Shrine of Amana, Dragon Shrine: Mention these levels to even the most hardened Souls veteran, and they're liable to break into a cold sweat, flashing back to waves of frustrating, overlapping enemies rushing them down to ruin their day. That's not to mention the co-op first DLC...
