Plenty of indie games riffing on Paper Mario’s craftsy style and turn-based, timing-sensitive combat have come out in the last few years, but Escape from Ever After is a rare one that seems to have landed on what made the Nintendo series so great.The paper cutout-styled RPG launched earlier this month, on January 23, to stellar Steam reviews. At the time of writing, Escape from Ever After’s Steam rating sits at a comfy ‘Very Positive’ rating with 97% of all user reviews giving it a recommend.”Best Paper Mario since Thousand Year Door, easily stands alongside Bug Fables as one of…
Crafting a world that begs to be explored is a tricky thing to do, especially when the world is kind of sucky, doubly so when it’s woven mostly through words with only supplementary imagery to provide a broader context. Yet Citizen Sleeper’s is one I’m often thinking about because amongst all the grand sci-fi concepts is a grounded sense of reality that you’ll always find in the best of the cyberpunk genre. And here I am, a year on from the second game’s release, tempted to return once more, but this time in a form based on its tabletop…

There are not enough games in the world where it feels like the initial concept was born from the thought, “wouldn’t it be funny if…” I’m no fool, I know this is because developing a video game is akin to getting hit by a car, miraculously coming away from it unscathed, only to be hit by six more cars as you continue your journey. In any case, this is still how I would like to imagine Trust Me, I Nailed It was born, a turn-based strategy game where you have to make cool video edits of some warrior to…
Skyrim’s lead designer and former Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith has chimed in on what he wants to see from Mass Effect 5 (or whatever name the next Mass Effect game ends up with) and – surprise, surprise – he thinks BioWare could do well by ripping a few pages out of the Bethesda playbook.”I would hope that they would try to just take their lore and make a modern game of it,” Nesmith says in an interview with Press Box PR. “One of the knocks on Mass Effect that I would have is that they always felt like they were…

Superhero workplace dramedy Dispatch, from the former TellTale developers at Adhoc Studios, has caught flack for launching on Switch and Switch 2 with mandatory censorship not present in other versions of the adventure game. But the devs have now responded, claiming that they’re looking to address some of the censorship with Nintendo’s help and they too thought they would’ve been able to get away with what CD Projekt Red has.While some early buyers have been getting refunds on the port, Adhoc explained that it’s been so quiet since launch “because we’ve been trying to make sure we’re being good partners…
You know, I’m surprised that EA has never made a Sims reality show where contestants have to act out odd, Simish challenges on a Truman Show-esque production lot, given how much the games themselves feel like simulators for the trashiest (said lovingly) TV show genre. In the meantime, while it isn’t at all themed reality shows, The Sims 4’s next expansion, Royalty & Legacy, seems like a perfect fit for a fictitious one of your own making. A new gameplay trailer showed off how the packs dynasty system works, which is very much about family values. Starting your…
