Writing For
Latest Reviews
A Lovecraftian colony sim that launched before the Old Ones were ready.
It's a big effort from a small team, but it’s not the next great RPG.
Bombshell
Bombshell pulls all the fun out of its sci-fi ARPG world.
A wonderfully executed, brilliantly stressful reinvention of party-based dungeon-crawling.
Vermintide nails what great co-op should be.
World of Warships is Wargaming’s finest vehicle combat game, but its free-to-play model is getting prohibitively expensive.
A punishing take on the Rogue-inspired genre, Bedlam is weird and colorful and stressful.
Victor Vran
A limp story and weak jokes are worth putting up with for Victor Vran’s great combat system.
Magicka 2
A leaner, smarter take on Magicka’s fascinating combat system, Magicka 2 is the co-op adventure you’ve been waiting for.
Dungeons 2
Dungeons 2 is a stumbling but worthwhile imagining of the classic Dungeon Keeper series.
Grey Goo
Grey Goo is a worthy throwback to the RTS golden age.
Door Kickers
Door Kickers is a difficult, rewarding puzzler so obsessed with its tactical ideas that it rejects all else—which is probably for the best anyway.
