No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

House Of Necrosis is a Resident Evil Mystery Dungeon RPG in which you can accidentally level up the zombies

This 32-bit-style indie horror game looks like a Capcom homage but has plenty in common with Spike Chunsoft's dungeon RPGs.

Battlefield 6 hits the ground running with a multiplayer suite full of dazzling sandboxes just waiting to be leveled, but not every part of the package is as effective.

i could wade into all this but i'm exhausted to the bone from covering the current slate of games (+life stuff) and i shouldn't get petty. but like, we do this work, even though it wears us down and adds more onto our plates.

Outside of a few underbaked additions Supermassive has introduced, we'd welcome more variation to Little Nightmares III's formula. However, even if it offers more of the same, it’s hard not to smile whenever the adventure sends chills down your spine.

what they don't tell you about packing is that even though it's arduous and tiresome, there will eventually be unpacking. which is, also, arduous and tiresome.

As part of our cover story, we're sharing an exclusive demo of The Outer Worlds 2's first open-world area: Paradise Island. Following the prologue chapter, this is where players become truly acclimated with the new and improved systems.

We've been adding lots of polish and flourish with our extra time on Demonschool. This before and after video of maxing relationships should give you a good idea.

Before: A small kiss decal. That's all we had time for.

After: Full-on shoujo manga animatic.
