About Fishing is a game about eating curly fries with your grandpa and yes, fishing, until it isn't

Video games have a tendency to be very impatient in a way that I think often makes for a worse experience. Constant rewards of many flavours push us to chase after the next challenge, there's not nearly enough games that ask us to slow down. That's why I love a fishing minigame. It is a test of patience that you cannot win by brute forcing anything, the fish must come to you, and you must wait for the right time. About Fishing, the next release from Arctic Eggs developer The Water Museum, does

As Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids gears up for release next week, its devs , sort of, delay its 1.0 release date

A new trailer for the next Path of Exile 2 update, The Last of the Druids, was shared earlier this week, showing off all the cool things you can do in it! Which are mostly relegated to turning into animals, but in my eyes that is eternally a cool thing to be able to do, in a game or not. And with that trailer also came a release date for the update.

In true roguelike fashion, Slay the Spire 2 is only being made because of a 50/50 coin flip

Imagine a second, alternate version of our world. Everything is the same, on the surface. The sky is blue, the economy is in shambles; it's the unnatural order of things. And yet, you cannot help but feel something is different. Like there's something missing, or perhaps replaced. Ah, there it is - Slay the Spire 2 is not a game that even remotely exists. As it turns out, this world, our world, where the roguelike called Slay the Spire 2 does, or rather will, exist, is only the world we exist

Romeo is a Dead Man sets its outlandish sights on a February 2026 release date

I can see it now… in the near future, the review embargo for Suda51's next game Romeo is a Dead Man, and as far as the eye can see the digital realm is scorched with 7/10s. Its maximalist shenanigans, techno-blasting soundtrack, and ridiculous premise puts it in a position where it couldn't possibly be for everyone, even if such a score is actually ideal for such a game, but when has that ever been the case for a Suda51 game? However, as I said, this vision I have is in the near future,

I helped a parasitic worm eat my neighbour's eyeball in 2025's weirdest horror RPG, and I'd do it again

Part turn-based RPG, part-survival horror, with a sprinkling of metroidvania goodness, Look Outside was always going to be my jam. But where it sank its grotty little hooks into me was how gleefully punishing it was. My first playthrough quickly became a cacophony of mistakes, but each one moulded my adventure in ways I never expected. Read more

What are we all playing this weekend?

Waking up at the crack of dawn today, I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices did not have a comments thread in which to badger us to play Troubleshooter Colon Abandoned Children. I burst from the covers, ran weeping to my PC (this happens most mornings, to be fair) and discovered that I had forgotten to finish the intro for our latest What Are We All Playing This Weekend article. And now I have. So, what are you all playing this weekend? Read more
