Ahead of Steam's Summer Sale next week, The Game Bakers' excellent 2016 bullet hell dueling game Furi is having a little sale of its own. The normally $20 game can be had for just $2, and I'm taking the opportunity to buy the dang thing again myself.Former PC Gamer editor James Davenport gave Furi an 86% in his review at the game's launch all the way back in 2016 (Christ...
For video games, the summer season kicker off with a double-header: the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, smack amid the three-day slew of game reveals that comprise Summer Game Fest (and its surrounding press conferences). But the most exciting games of the summer aren’t all Switch 2 ports or massive studio tentpoles. In fact, it’s the smaller games — the indies and the AA gems — that have captured...

Three days is all I had until Jan, Jan, Jan, and Jan burned to a crisp. I awoke and went to the elevator where Jan Miner passed by muttering something about the “fucked-up world we live it.” Agreed. I noticed an “Alter Rebellion” brewing on my tasks list. Great. I went down to the kitchen where Jan’s other Alters had gathered. Jan Technician started complaining — yet again — about...

Team 17 is running a publisher sale over the next week, offering an array of discounts like half-price on eldritch fishing sim Dredge and 80% off chaotic cooperative chef adventure Overcooked. By far and away the best discount, though, is for the The Game Kitchen's Catholocism-coded angst 'n' slash Blasphemous, which is a whopping 90% off for the next few days.That knocks the cost all the way down to $2.50...
Sorry Pathologic 2 fans, but I am one of those people, the ones who say how much they like the look of Ice-Pick Lodge's pestilent immersive sim, but wish it was more willing to meet them halfway on the challenge front. It's not simply that Pathologic 2 is hard. I don't mind a game kicking my ass so long as it does it quickly. But the idea of playing a...
There are five official Die Hard movies. Given star Bruce Willis’ retirement from acting, it’s likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future. (Don’t rule out The Wholly Redundant Adventures of Young John McClane coming to theaters in summer 2035.) Regardless, the series will live on indefinitely, not just through the endlessly beloved, rewatchable, and Christmas-ready original or Die Hard with a Vengeance also being really fun, but through...
What are your plans for this weekend? Pint in the sunshine? Booking a summer holiday? Simulating the effects of the industrial revolution on the global economy of the nineteenth century? If it's the latter, that's tremendously specific. But I have good tidings for you anyway, as Paradox's grand strategy Victoria 3 is free to play until Monday.Victoria 3 does for macroeconomics what Crusader Kings 3 did for dynastic fratricide. It's...
Cards on the table, I did not like Stormgate when it launched. I did not like its vibes. I did not like its aesthetic. I did not like its story. I did not like how it felt beneath the fingers. I did not like the paltry number of (bad) singleplayer missions it offered before asking you to pony up cash. It felt like a Blizzard game with none of the...
My Friend Pedro was a Flash game that evolved into a standalone release in which you played a man who used his skateboard gun-fu skills to kill bad dudes at the command of a talking banana (named Pedro). It was a lot of fun. I gave it an 81. You could throw a frypan into the air and then ricochet bullets off it in slow-motion.Its developer, DeadToast Entertainment, followed it...
