Gravebound Preview: Plugged In and Ready to Die
We love extraction shooters with a Borderlands vibe. There’s something about the colorful chaos that resonates with us. Gravebound is one such promising title. From the creative minds at Crater Studios — the same devs that gave us Dwarven Realms — comes a six-player co-op extraction shooter that’s built around shooting things, finding better stuff,…

Dune: Awakening PS5 Pro Review: The Solo Experience
Dune: Awakening has been out on PC for a while now, but we never got the opportunity to check it out on Steam, although we followed all the news and updates that the devs kept releasing for the game. As huge fans of the books and the first two movies, we were intrigued by the…

Sunday Sims Spotlight #18: A fun night out
We’re not exactly bowling fans, so we weren’t expecting The Sims 4: Bowling Night Stuff to turn us into people who spend every Friday evening throwing balls at pins. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have quite a bit of fun with it, though. We started by taking our Sims to an existing bowling alley and…

Zombuffoonery Review: Zombies, Saws and Necessary Overkill
Zombuffoonery is a simple but goofy zombie survival game, just like the name suggests. We start as a kid on a map that gets filled with zombies pretty quickly. They all want to hug us, but our gun won’t let them for some reason. So we blow their brains out as they try to eat…

Interview: How Sous Raccoon Turned a University Project Into a Chaotic Roguelite
What started as a university graduation project has grown into a surprisingly chaotic restaurant game where the raccoon doesn’t actually do any cooking. Here, you’re running around the restaurant, delivering ingredients, protecting customers and dealing with monsters while the Chef does the cooking. Sous Raccoon has since moved into Early Access, with new content, controller…

SiN Reloaded Review — Another Shot for The Underdog
SiN games are proof that games can become more interesting the older they get. Unlike wine, they may not have aged particularly well, but they can show us how strange, ambitious and sometimes downright crazy they were for their time. Ritual Entertainment released this bad boy in 1998. We played it five years later when…

TOEM 2 Review: A Little World Full of Wonderful Things
TOEM was such a great game. We loved how warm that black-and-white world could feel, with all the lovable characters, memorable locations and tiny details that made us stop and look around. We spent so much time playing it on our Steam Deck, taking turns with our nephews and competing over who could take the…

Growing Vegetables, Fighting Vampires in Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire Review
Voltaire is Dracula’s son who, instead of drinking blood, decides to become a vegan. This doesn’t exactly go down well with dear old dad, who sends his minions after him. Yup, if this isn’t the most inventive way to rebel against your blood-craving daddy-o, then we don’t know what is. In all seriousness, Voltaire: The…

Rivage Review — Lost in Space, Over and Over Again
Is it just us, or are you also freaked out by empty space stations? Not only did people work there, but they also had their own routines—they lived there. And now, there is nobody around to tell us what happened. That stark void of life, where everything has been left behind, is why we think…

Minecraft Dungeons II Review — More of What We Loved
The first Minecraft Dungeons gave us a different way to experience the Minecraft universe and, most importantly, proved that taking the basic idea of Diablo could work remarkably well in the recognizable blocky world. We enjoyed our time wandering through Minecraft-inspired environments, fighting illagers and all sorts of other creatures and collecting weapons we didn’t…
