Cooperative video games are always a great time, which is why I love stuff like Overcooked and Moving Out. More often than not, these sorts of puzzle games lead to hilarious hijinks and really put relationships to the test. Sure, I may get a little frustrated from time to time as any human being would, …
(Shush. I know it is now 2024 and I am just getting around to this in January, but I got distracted, then COVID, and now I am able to focus on catching up.) I tried to keep my gaming focused a little more in September and October. Knowing that a good chunk of my time …
Two things you can put in your game that will sucker me into buying it: animal characters and building elements. Which is why the instant I first saw Bear and Breakfast (which was either during the Wholesome Games or Day of the Devs 2022 stream) I knew it was a day one purchase. I played …
Fallout 4’s swan song Nuka-World dropped on the evening of August 29th here in North America. I would have dived on in but when I offered to play it for a while on the Loot Crate stream there was an anxious wait. I won’t lie, it was hard. Like, really hard. Me + Bethesda RPGs = <3 You don’t immediately …
With the Vault-Tec Workshop’s recent release, we’re nearing the end of Fallout 4’s adventure. I knew it wouldn’t last forever, that eventually I would complete absolutely everything there was for me to experience in the Commonwealth. But it’s not time to say goodbye just yet, especially not when I have all sorts of new things I …
Remember last week when Bethesda announced at their E3 presser that we were getting new Fallout 4 DLC starting this month with the Contraptions Workshop? They showed us elevators and sorting machinery, and I’m pretty sure there was a version of the classic board game Mousetrap shown off in the preview video. They had me at …
Bethesda’s first real weighty bit of DLC for Fallout 4 is out now, and man oh man, there is a lot to be excited about! It all starts when your friend Nick Valentine gets a request to look for a missing daughter. Kasumi has been conversing over the radio with a stranger, so she took …
Some people believe episodic content can’t hold up to a typical AAA release, or that the only great episodic stuff comes from TellTale Games. Camoflaj’s Kickstarter project Republique proves that other studios can use the model to create original content not based on an existing franchise that is just as thought provoking as the original BioShock or …
If you’re anything like me, you’ve daydreamed of controlling a robotic army with Styx “Mr. Roboto” playing in the background as you conquer the world. Thanks to Fallout 4’s Automatron DLC these dreams can at least be lived vicariously through my Vault Dweller. The Mechanist The DLC kicks off with an emergency broadcast from a caravan in distress. When …
Every October I look forward to playing a scary video game; something that will cause me to jump, shriek “ACK!”, and get my heart racing a little. Last year that game was Until Dawn. In 2016, it’s disguised as kawaii chibi art in Yomawari: Night Alone. This spooky survival horror puzzle game is centred around a young girl …
