When you stop to think about it, Pikmin's brand of minion-throwing strategy lends itself quite nicely to games about power dynamics. Overlord had you cosplay as an unstoppable evil boss who uses pesky goblin critters to do his bidding, for example, but one new indie game reverses the trope.
PlayStation Plus subscribers looking for a challenging experience this August are in luck because one of 2021's best-reviewed metroidvania RPGs is coming to the platform soon. Aside from the family-friendly fun of the expansive and the grim terror of , players looking to really sink into an immersive role-playing game will probably want something different.

As its work on Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 cracks on, Obsidian Entertainment is also reportedly developing another new title - an "unannounced" game.
When Bioshock came out in 2007, it blew expectations out of the water. Not only did it introduce us to the memorable world of Rapture deep below the sea, but it pulled off one of the most shocking plot twists in gaming history. The sequel stuck to the same setting, but Infinite once again invited us to a brand new dystopia floating in the clouds. Similar to Assassin’s Creed, these games have become defined by their settings, which is why we have all been eagerly awaiting the next entry to see what fantastic space we would be exploring. While original creator Ken Levine has moved on to Judas, 2K has had Cloud Chamber Studios working on a new entry since 2019. That’s a long time, but we still have a lot of questions that need answering. Would you kindly explore everything we know about Bioshock 4 with us?
SAG-AFTRA has participated in many strikes, from striking for the rights of those working in Hollywood to those working in the TV industry. This time is no different, and SAG-AFTRA is now striking for those in the games industry. Since 25 July 2024, SAG-AFTRA has been on strike, where all projects with actors in them that have been in development for less than a year will no longer have access to the actors. This will continue until an agreement has been reached regarding the use of AI.
Thirty-five years ago, Nintendo released a gaming handheld that would change the gaming landscape forever. The Game Boy might seem archaic now with its lack of a backlit screen and minimal button placement, but it resonated with a lot of people, sold over 118 million units, and inspired a generation of video game hardware and software creators. It’s even a piece of hardware that modern companies like Panic reference when creating a modern gaming handheld like the Playdate.
I was raised on British comedy. It was one of the few things my father and I both agreed on, so I spent plenty of nights watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Mr. Bean. Shows like that became formative, as I grew a love for physical comedy and ridiculous gags by studying silly walks. To an outsider, it all might just look like random jokes that don’t make much sense, but there’s an art for absurdity that the British comedy scene nailed.
I do like a NetherRealm fighting game story mode, and the upcoming expansion for Mortal Kombat 1, Khaos Reigns, is adding to the narrative with the return of Havik—though this time, a Havik from an alternate timeline. I don't expect to understand what's going on, but I do expect to see a bunch of gratuitous slow-motion martial arts and eviscerations, and that's always a good time.
