The co-op cooking genre, dominated by titans like Overcooked! and PlateUp!, is crowded. It takes something special to stand out. Restaurats manages to do just that by adding a delightful layer of medieval chaos and putting you in the tiny, scurrying paws of a rat…

“Bigger, louder, and significantly dumber. SISU: Road to Revenge trades the gritty myth-making of the original for Looney Tunes physics and over-the-top spectacle. It’s a fun ride, but don’t expect it to make sense.” The 2022 sleeper hit Sisu introduced the world to Aatami Korpi,…

At first glance, Fever Meme looks like typical “streamer bait”—a low-budget indie game priced at $4.20, filled with stock assets and loud noises designed to make YouTubers scream. But to dismiss it as just a joke would be a massive mistake. Developed by Aimbok, this…

Remaking a cult classic is always a gamble. Remaking the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle The Running Man—a film beloved for its cheese, charisma, and over-the-top violence—requires a bold vision. Director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead) attempts to pivot back toward the original…

From the lead writers and directors who brought us Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us comes Dispatch, a new episodic adventure that doesn’t just stick the landing—it obliterates the landing pad. This is the new gold standard for interactive storytelling. Developer AdHoc…

“It’s like Fast and Furious with magic, but without the charm. Now You See Me 3 is a ridiculous, CGI-filled mess that introduces unlikable new characters and kills off legends for no reason. If you turn your brain off completely, you might be entertained.” The…

Outright Games has become the undisputed champion of family-friendly licensed titles, and their track record with the PAW Patrol franchise is a big reason why. Their latest entry, PAW Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship, ditches the go-karts for monster trucks, and the result is a “Pawsome,”…
