In an official statement, the publisher admitted the remastered package “has fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards,” promising to bring back the beloved original 2011 version […]

Amplitude Studios has dropped the first extended in-game footage for Humankind 2, the long-awaited follow-up to its history-bending 4X strategy hit. This deep gameplay walkthrough pulls back the curtain on the sequel’s reworked culture mechanics, era progression, and dynamic world systems, giving players far more agency to craft a truly unique civilisation and rewrite human […]

Valve has rolled out Achievement Sets in the Steam client beta, a major overhaul designed to fix one of the oldest grievances for completionist players.

Their latest quirky release, Thank You Bus Driver, seems at first glance like a cozy little simulation about driving a bus and ferrying passengers from stop to stop. But the real fun isn’t the drive itself, […]

Soulslikes usually put you in the boots of a wounded warrior, fighting gods and twisted monsters in crumbling ruins. Penguin Colony flips that script completely. You play as a penguin wandering Antarctica, watching human colonial expeditions unravel into madness. Beneath its quirky surface lies a tough, atmospheric soulslike loop and a razor-sharp parody of Lovecraft’s […]
