Devolver Digital and Doinksoft (Gato Roboto, Gunbrella, Demon Throttle) have announced Dark…
It was announced months ago that PowerWash Simulator will be getting three paid DLC packs this year, but no specifics were given. Well, the first has been announced, and there’s a famous sea sponge behind it. A certain seas sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. That’s right:…

All a developer/publisher has to mention is that something is inspired by Stardew Valley, and I’ll be immediately drawn to it. Mirthwood is one of those titles, though it’s also inspired by Fable (love it!) and Rimworld (haven’t played it). It’s a captivating single-player game about an epic journey through…

When I first wrote about Little Friends: Puppy Island, I was surprised to learn it was actually a sequel to Little Friends: Dogs & Cats. This game focuses solely on dogs frolicking around an island paradise, with no cats in sight. (I’m a bit bummed there’s no cats, since I’m…

Animal rescue games have a special place in my heart, including Cat Café Manager, a cat/restaurant management sim. I haven’t had the chance to play To The Rescue! on PC yet, though (it launched a couple year ago) so I’m really excited to be able to write that the dog…

Panic is a publisher that I trust: it is the published that helped release iconic games Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game. Panic is also the company behind Playdate, that little yellow handheld console with a crank on the side. So when Playdate decides to publish something, it’s worth taking note.…

Game development crunch is bad. There’s literally no upside to it. Games get rushed, released with issues, and the staff suffers. So I take very little issue with games being delayed, despite being super impatient. I’d rather the people behind it stay healthy while creating the best product possible. So…
