I used to thinkStardew Valleywas as ambitious as cozy games got. It has emotional richness, mines full of danger, and enough farmer activities to keep your pockets well-lined. Beneath its charming exterior, it’s quietly complex. The kind of game that sneaks up on you with its depth. But after hearingConcernedApe’s update about Haunted Chocolatier, I’m starting to think Stardew really was just the warm-up. If Stardew is the Dark Souls of farming sims, quietly difficult, layered, and full of secrets, then Haunted Chocolatier already feels like the much bigger, more expansive Elden Ring....

Who doesn’t love being a little guy? I don’t know, maybe it’s a generational thing, but when I saw a game about a teeny tiny alien having a laser beam shoot-out with a stag beetle the size of a Panzer Maus under an 80-foot mushroom, my inner child screamed, “Honey, I ShrunkMass Effect!” Infinitesimals, which had its reveal trailer showcased during theSummer Game Fest livestream, is an action-packed semi-open-world adventure about a spacefarer looking for a new planet for his people to call home - and that planet just so happens to be Earth, or at least, a few dozen yards in what appears to be the Eastern United States or Canada - the native habitat of the aforementioned stag beetle....

Summary Kingdom Hearts 4might not be as far behind in its development as we all assumed, as a voice actor has randomly claimed that they’ve done some voiceover work for the game already. Ever since it was originally announced all the way back in 2022, Kingdom Hearts 4 has been completely missing in action. WhileFinal Fantasy 7 fans had plenty to go off of as Square Enix was oddly openabout the trilogy’s development status,Kingdom Hearts fans have had to wait in the wings for any kind of announcement or update....

Vintage Story is a new-found obsession of mine. If you’ve never heard of it, I totally understand: it’s a pretty niche Minecraft-like that isn’t currently available on Steam. you’re able to only purchase and download itfrom the game’s old-school website, and from the moment you click purchase and hit the download button, it feels like stepping two decades back in time. The original Minecraft was also purchased this way, which gives Vintage Story its own sense of unique nostalgia....

Mindseyewent from a potential Cyberpunk 2077/GTA love letter to a complete disaster real fast earlier this week. Suspicions were already raised after developer Build A Rocket Boy didn’t send out review copies before launch, and fans quickly discovered that the reason for that wasbecause Mindseye is a gigantic mess, described as “unplayable” by some. Just hours after launch, fans were sharing videos of floating cars, horribly mutated civilians, and irritating stuttering issues, which all culminated in an overall Steam user review rating of Mostly Negative....

One of the defining characteristics ofThe Last of Usis moral ambiguity. It’s full of characters who do horrible things to each other, every one of them justifying their actions to themselves and others through tenuous moral arguments. Each character is put into situations where control is taken away from them, and they reassert it through violence. Joel massacres a hospital full of innocents because they want to kill Ellie in order to create a cure for the Infection that tore the world apart....

Quick Links Ninja Gaiden has always been about mastering each game’s mechanics and learning the ins and outs of Ryu’s moveset until you’re truly a world-class ninja. Aside from not playing as Ryu,Ninja Gaiden: Rageboundis no different. Although Ragebound isn’tquiteas painfully difficult as its original 2D counterparts or the 3D games, it’s still mighty challenging. One of the biggest trials you’ll have to face is reaching S-Rank, which can be very tough until you’ve learnt a few tricks....
