After years of spinoffs, crossovers, and half-measures, Dynasty Warriors Origins swings its blade with purpose. A prequel to the long-running series, Origins drops you into the chaos of the early Three Kingdoms era—not as a legendary hero, but as a nameless warrior clawing through blood, mud, and fire to make a name for yourself. And that setup works. By stepping away from the over-saturated mythos of later titles and returning to a more grounded perspective, Origins brings fresh narrative weight to its battlefield spectacle. It’s a game that tries to be both nostalgic and new. Sometimes it succeeds. Other times,…

💘 Love, Laughter, and Limited Tickets Pick Me Pick Me is one of the most chaotic, creative, and conversation-driven games to hit the party game scene this year—and also one of the most divisive. Built around competitive AI speed dating, it’s a clever blend of dating sim absurdity, PvP mind games, and real-time AI interactions powered by a Large Language Model. The concept? You and a friend face off in a speed-dating match to win the affection of bizarre, fully-voiced AI characters. You flirt, sabotage, play skill cards, and throw verbal elbows—all while the NPC evaluates your charm (or cringe)…

🚧 A New Kind of Off-Road Simulation RoadCraft isn’t just another MudRunner or SnowRunner. It’s the next step—a full-fledged construction and logistics simulator built on the same physics-driven foundation but with a mission to rebuild, not just survive. Instead of simply hauling supplies across broken bridges and muddy trails, you’re fixing those bridges, paving those roads, laying cables, and restoring entire communities after disasters. Whether you’re solo or with a team of up to four friends, RoadCraft hands you the keys to over 40 industrial vehicles and lets you loose on eight massive maps filled with wreckage, ruins, and reconstruction…

D&A Studios is back with a spiritual successor to its 2022 cult favorite Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I., and fans of slow-burn, lore-rich ghost investigation sims have something new to look forward to. Among The Whispers – Provocation launches tomorrow on Steam and brings with it new mechanics, deeper storytelling, and one spooky four-story mansion filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. We had early access to the game and spoke with Kip, the solo developer behind the project, to get a feel for what players can expect—and what sets this ghost game apart. First Impressions: A Haunting Return with More…

A first-person inspection sim with teeth (and bite marks). After months of anticipation and 500,000 wishlists on Steam, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is finally letting the public step into the boots of the last line of defense. The game’s demo, previously available only to media and streamers, officially opens to the public on May 22, and if our early time with it is anything to go by, it’s something special. Imagine Papers, Please reimagined during a zombie apocalypse, then given a bleakly comedic edge, and you’re halfway there. 🧟‍♂️ What Is Quarantine Zone: The Last Check? Developed by a…

Gray Zone Warfare launched last April with plenty of promise: a gritty, tactical shooter that aimed to blend mil-sim realism with the tension of PvEvP extraction gameplay. But for many players, its early access debut was a mixed bag—rubber-banding issues, barebones content, and performance hiccups put a damper on an otherwise ambitious formula. Now, with the upcoming 0.3 update titled Winds of War, developer Madfinger Games is setting the stage for a major pivot. The game is moving away from its “extraction shooter” label and toward a more expansive identity as a “tactical MMO FPS.” Whether you’re a returning player…
