I’m not going to sugarcoat it: I have developed what might be described as an unhealthy obsession with certain reality TV shows. 1999 was integral when it comes to some of the shows that I’m still watching: it was the year Big Brother was created, and The Real World and…
It’s hard to find innovation in the 2D platformer genre at times.…

If you haven’t played The Talos Principle, I’d recommend it. Nick gave it a 4.5-star review, writing, “Few games have everything working in such synchronised harmony as The Talos Principle. The world, puzzles, narrative and music are all served to the player in small helpings, never overwhelming and allowing you…

Here’s a tale of two very different sides of the games industry for you. On the one hand, I was recently given an hour-long look into The Plucky Squire, an upcoming Devolver Digital-published game about a character that can pop into and out of the “real world” from a book,…

Bleak Sword DX is the latest Apple Arcade game to make its way over to consoles. This Devolver Digital-published title was always an admirable and interesting effort to take the core tension and taut action of the Souls “genre” and make it work on mobile devices. It did work and…

Devolver Digital is back and weirder than ever. This Direct’s story revolves around a (fake) mascot named Volvy, and it’s 2.0 evolution that makes up games as people suggests them. It’s honestly so bizarre, you just have to see it. I’ll be covering each of the four featured games, as…

Deconstructeam is a developer I admire on principle alone. This is a team of people that are committed to building narrative experiences, and using gameplay mechanics as part of the fabric of storytelling. This is, I believe, how games should be, and Essays on Empathy and The Red Strings Club…
