Technically, Panic is older than Google. For years, it only made Mac software. Aside from the amazing Playdate console, Panic is actually the publisher of some pretty phenomenal games (like Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game).

One of the great things about Football Manager is that you don’t need to be an incredibly hardcore fan of the sport to enjoy managing your team. You’ll want to know the basic rules of football, of course, but beyond that you’re given a sandbox to try things, fail, learn…

I love that games based on books are becoming more of a thing lately, and not just comic books. The Invincible is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by hard science-fiction author and Polish futurologist Stanisław Lem, and it mixes expansive space vistas with retro-futuristic and atompunk…

I’m most fond of Don’t Nod for its developed games; I don’t think anyone can disagree that Life is Strange is absolutely iconic (though has now gone to other developers, namely Deck Nine), and I’m very fond of Tell Me Why. So far it has only published one outside game,…
