A gorgeous blend of base building and ARPG, The Riftbreaker manages to bring its numerous component parts together into a slick and rewarding co-op game with plenty of polish. It just got a whole lot bigger with the launch of the clinical-sounding ‘World Expansion IV’ update, which adds a new biome and a fresh game mode designed for more advanced players. To celebrate, developer Exor Studios is letting you and your friends jump in for free this weekend, and it’s at a deep discount if you like what you find. You are The Riftbreaker, a highly trained scientist with combat…
My Super Mario toy collection beganway back in the early 90s with an official plastic Mario toothbrush holder. He was a little off model and had a grin that would haunt most children’s dreams today, but I loved him all the same.These days, it’s a lot easier to find higher-quality versions of my favorite mustachioed plumber. There’s no shortage of representation of the Mushroom Kingdom’s many residents, but Good Smile Company’s Mario and Luigi figures remain the best Mario merch I’ve ever come across. They’re also a bit off-model, but that’s the point, as Nendoroids are part of an anime…
Banquet of Fools has quietly been one of the most promising CRPGs in Steam Early Access for over a year, and I’m happy to report that it’s finally coming out in full and is just as gorgeous as ever.”Thank you everyone for the support the last year and a half in early access,” developer Hannah and Joseph Games writes on its blog post celebrating the game’s 1.0 release on March 5, 2026. “The game improved so much with your feedback and we were able to have some wonderful artists contribute to the raffles.””For those of you about to finish the…
The Rust Shipshape update is here, and as you might expect, developer Facepunch Studios is focused on further upgrading its new boats this month, although there are some other welcome changes to dig through in the full patch notes. In case you missed the announcement, daytime in Rust has now been extended by around 20 minutes, which should bring the survival game’s sunlight stretch above the hour-long mark, while the dark of night remains at its roughly ten-minute duration. After last month’s Naval update, Facepunch Studios has been working on “a ton of small fixes and improvements to player boats…
Pokemon Scarlet and Violent, the ninth generation of Pokemon, also released on Nintendo Switch but, compared to Pokemon Sword and Shield, is much more ambitious, taking a lot of cues from spin-off Pokemon Legends Arceus. Instead of limiting open areas to wild zones, the Paldea region is fully open-world. Some may chafe against this sheer looseness, but for those who want to just be let off the leash to catch creatures, this is one of the best Pokemon games for catering to that.Given spin-off followup, Pokemon Legends Z-A, further evolves this formula, it seems that the big open world experiment…
Slay the Spire 2 is absolutely ripping apart every Steam chart there is, but its mega success isn’t a surprise to one prominent Palworld dev who’s only shocked that the roguelike’s blindsided so many other people.Slay the Spire 2 was always expected to be a big deal – it’s following up one of the most critically acclaimed deckbuilding roguelikes of all time, after all – but what was perhaps not expected is just how much of a big deal the indie has been. The sequel easily passed the concurrent Steam player peaks of several AAA games, like Elden Ring Nightreign,…
The speed with which Valve is deploying huge Deadlock overhauls has me stunned, like I’m caught in the headlights of an Apollo ult. It’s been just six weeks since the team unveiled its massive Old Gods, New Blood update, and only three since the last of its new heroes rolled off the production line. Yet this fresh set of Deadlock patch notes comes in at more than 850 lines, with transformative changes across the core of the MOBA and basically its entire roster. If you were worried that your favorite character had been left in the dust by the latest…

I’ve got to hand it to Microsoft – declaring that the next-gen Xbox will rival the yet-to-be-released Steam Machine is a bold move. The gaming giant’s new CEO, Asha Sharma, used buzzwords like “performance” and “PC games” in what was otherwise a bland announcement, but I’m nervous that Project Helix is about to ditch console sensibilities completely.Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that there’s actually a next-gen Xbox battleplan. For a hot minute, it felt like the “this is an Xbox” campaign would transform Microsoft’s gaming brand into a non-physical entity that haunts your TV and smart devices, or, at…
At the center of the labyrinth is a minotaur. He is bound with muscle. He is fearsome. He is… snoring. Asterion, bored with how long I am taking to place my traps, has gone to sleep. This is despite warriors armed with swords and bows lining up at the gates leading into the maze, itching for their chance to battle the bull-headed, human-bodied creature. Still, even though he is in mortal danger, I, Daedalus, the labyrinth’s designer, am happy for him to sleep. If I do my job in roguelite tower defense game Minos right, my minotaur won’t have to…
