Grab shopkeeper-dungeoncrawler Moonlighter free on Steam for a limited time
Moonlighter is a hybrid of management sim and roguelite dungeon crawl in the vein of Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale.

Big Walk’s Most Important Feature Is Getting Patched
Big Walk is here, and it’s already earning a reputation for being a delightfully offbeat third space for friends to inhabit.

The Best Friendslop Games To Play With Buddies In 2026
Before you come at me, let me just say I love every game on this list and “friendslop” here is no insult. Instead, I’m using it affectionately. It’s an increasingly useful tongue-in-cheek term to describe a particular genreless genre: games you can pick up on the cheap, jump into without much preamble or complex tutorials,…

The World’s Gone To Hell, But You Still Have To Go To Work, Just Like In This Horror Game

Big Walk Is One Of The Best Co-Op Games Ever
In the three years since Big Walk was announced, I’ve heard it referred to as a co-op walking sim, a puzzle-adventure game, and friendslop.

Even though it’s been ubiquitous for a number of years at this point, it still feels like generative AI is working on its sales pitch. OpenAI CEO and Elon Musk slapfighter Sam Altman took to X yesterday to offer a new “cool use case” for ChatGPT he recently overheard: “Connect your family calendars and explain…

10 expansions that were better than the actual game
Expansions should be improvements on the base game, you say. The whole point of them is that they’re adding cool new stuff, and the same game with a bunch of cool new stuff added should always be better. Except often that isn’t the case. The list of add-ons that feel like they misunderstood what made…

Rideshare “Stimulator” Is Basically An Uber Simulator With Weirder Passengers
The gig economy comes for us all in the end, and if you’ve ever worked a few Uber shifts, you’ll be well aware how some customers are a bit… odd. That’s the vibe that Rideshare Stimulator–no, that is not a typo, and the game title is stylized as Rideshare “Stimulator” for some reason, but we’re…

Not only is Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey blowing up the box office, but it’s also blowing up the career of one of the lesser-known actors in the film… lemme quickly check IMDB for his name… ah, here it is: Matt Damon.

Videogame villains who sing at you are the best
Villains monologue at us so much in videogames it’s become passe. Oh, you’re so evil you took over the radio station and replaced the friendly voice that’s been guiding me since the tutorial just so you can tell me about your evil plan? Yawn. Use that radio to sing a song at me, maybe then…
