Namely, while these – as with all the games we cover here – are games that you can play on your phone, they’re ones that operate outside of the realms of the big two ways to play: The Google Play Store and the Apple AppStore. That means that there might be a bit of work required…

I traveled to Osaka, Japan, back in June to visit Capcom’s HQ and learn more about Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which is the latest game to grace the cover of Game Informer. You can read that cover story right here if you’re a subscriber, but alongside that feature, I’m posting exclusive stories for the next couple of weeks based on my various interviews with the leads behind Capcom’s return to the Onimusha series after a 20-year hiatus. One of those interviews was with Way of the Sword animation team lead Hiroshi Yugen, who explained how the studio created its own version of Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary…

A Steam Deck sitting on the arm of the sofa used to mean one thing: someone was halfway through a JRPG they should have finished months ago. These days it might just as easily mean someone is spinning a slot reel on a browser tab between matches, or checking a free spins offer during a loading screen.

Valve never marketed the Deck as…

You are trapped inside an ancient, derelict megastructure filled with tortured creatures, and survival is not just about shooting everything in sight. Rustmourne puts…

On Reddit, a VR enthusiastic posted a clip that shows Forza Horizon 6 being played in stereo 3D VR while the player sits inside a motion rig that moves with the car. The chair tilts, rotates, recenters, and reacts to acceleration,…

Club Soko, the recently released music-themed puzzler, is also releasing a Newgrounds demo A simple business decision, or honouring its Flash roots? We put that exact question to Brad Smith at Miracle Tea games If you checked in on the site last weekend, you may have noticed we gave out one of our fairly uncommon gold ratings for a little music-themed puzzler called Club Soko. Jupiter, it seems, had a great time with this tile-shifting journey through the depths of the titular nightclub. And I myself had a go at it while I was on holiday and found it to…
