Nothing quite beats playing a TTRPG like Dungeons & Dragons in person with your friends. But with schedules and distance, it’s not always feasible. That makes co-op games that capture the magic of playing D&D essential for long-distance friend groups and folks with busy schedules. I’ve played a lot of these games over the years, […]
Aside from Black Friday, the peak of summer often brings the best game deals we’ll see all year. Thus far, we’ve seen some solid summer deals from Steam and the Nintendo eShop. Starting today, it’s Xbox’s turn to offer deep discounts of up to 95% off during the Xbox Ultimate Game Sale. The deals run […]
It’s been 10 years since Darkest Dungeon arrived on the scene. At the time, a dungeon-crawling roguelike RPG was still a relatively novel idea. This, along with an engaging lineup of character classes and challenging-but-fun turn-based combat, made the game an instant hit. Since then, developer Red Hook has released a handful of DLC and […]
Ahead of Fable, which isn’t coming out until 2027, there’s a bit of a gap in major open-world RPG releases. We had Crimson Desert earlier this year, but since then, it’s been fairly quiet as games bide their time for GTA 6. So when I saw a new open-world RPG climbing the trending charts on […]

And let’s not forget that Hooded Horse is about to treat us to a new pirate-themed city builder in its upcoming Corsair Cove. Alas, one of the most […]
The 1990s were filled with great RPGs. From Super Nintendo classics like Earthbound to PC greats like System Shock 2 to genre-defining PS2 games like Final Fantasy VII, there was something for every type of player. While most fans of the genre have played those all-timers, there are plenty of lesser-known RPGs that deserve more […]
Last year brought FromSoftware fans quite a few new Soulslike games, including the new co-op Elden Ring spin-off, Nightreign. But a surprise contender for the biggest Soulslike of the year came from debut studio Leenzee. Despite a slightly rocky start on PC, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers went on to become one of the most popular new […]
Despite smartphones being a staple in our lives, mobile gaming remains controversial. While some people love a mobile game, others feel the space is saturated with overly monetized cash grabs. But not every game that’s playable on your phone started out that way. I’ve seen a lot of popular games making the jump from a […]
Like many gaming companies, Ubisoft has had a tough year. They finally got a bit of a win in the form of the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced.
