The wait for the next Prince of Persia game is going to be a lot shorter than the last one. After waiting almost 14 years between the releases of The Forgotten Sands and The Lost Crown, we only have to keep patient for a few months to play the next …

Announced just last year, Star Wars Outlaws already has a release date: August 30. Ubisoft did say that the game would be coming out in late 2024, but it still feels wild to see. Perhaps Skull and Bones just made me jaded. The release date was revealed in a new …

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to me anymore that this generation of consoles are powerful machines and studios can just more easily disguise their witchcraft to create cool visual effects, but I’m still routinely dumbfounded.

Of all the games I sat down to talk about at GDC 2024, none left quite as much of an impression as Life Eater, an upcoming kidnapper simulator. The game is developed by Strange Scaffold, the studio that has pushed the envelope on what types of stories you can tell …

Knights in Tight Spaces feels like more Fights in Tight Spaces. The sequel builds on the first game’s formula by adding more to it but it largely plays the same. You’re still drawing cards from your deck each turn, forcing you to think on the fly when it comes to …
