Outriders Key Art

From the developers of Bulletstorm, Outriders is an upcoming three-person co-op RPG/shooter that feels equally at home in both of those genres.

Hungry like the wolf — Lost Ember review

By the time Lost Ember starts, most of the events of its plot are already distant memories. The game tells the story of a great civilization’s fall not as it happens, but through the memories of one of its long-dead citizens. As a restless spirit, you have the ability

Disco Elysium

Right at the outset, Disco Elysium makes it clear that it’s a different kind of game than its cRPG trappings might suggest. In fact, even calling it a different kind of game might not be quite right. That implies that there are other games like Disco Elysium, that it

The Outer Worlds

When I previewed The Outer Worlds this summer and found that it wasn’t quite clicking, I wondered if it was just because I only had 90 minutes to play when the full game is many times that length. After all, it had some of the elements that I remember
