Disco Elysium has always been a bit of a strange game. It’s inspired by those old-school tabletop RPGs but it replaces combat with a more methodical one-shot approach and replaces stats with a strange form of personality test. Instead of upgrading your strength, you increase your empathy, intelligence, and deduction.

Gaming communities can be a little daunting. Knowing that almost everyone you speak to has much more information than you can be a little offputting. Otzdarva, like many other content creators, has provided hundreds of hours worth of tutorials and breakdowns, making joining that community just a little easier. I have never spoken to a Dead By Daylight content creator before. Though I enjoy the game quite a lot, I've never really found myself to be part of the community, so to speak. This is why

Balatro is a game that feels made for me. It’s a roguelite card game that, due to it being a fresh take on poker, is all about risk and reward. Launching just last month, it already sits at the coveted “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, with over 18,000+ positive reviews. For the unfamiliar, it’s a card game, where you have to play hands of poker to win chips. Jokers are added to the top of your board which give you extra chips per hand, multiply your entire score, or play into some une

Black Desert is a game that's always eluded me. Picking it up almost a decade ago, I managed to enjoy my time but never really felt like I "got it". This is part of the charm of MMORPGs. You can play them for years and still not fully understand everything that's going on. Being one of the biggest and most robust out there, Black Desert offers both a challenge and an acknowledgement that we can never fully indulge in everything the game has to offer. Recently, I headed out to the Voice of Adven

Dread Delusion has been in the works for some time. A demo was initially launched as part of the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc back in 2020 and now, two years later, it has finally launched in Early Access. To celebrate this launch, we sat down with James Wragg, the game's lead developer to talk about influences, the design process, and World War 1 poetry. "The Night is Darkening was the first game I put out. It was just a game jam. From putting out games like that, the main thing I learned was just th

Akira Yamaoka is no stranger to a creepy soundtrack. With titles like Silent Hill behind and The Medium in front of him, this made him the perfect addition to World of Tanks' Halloween event, "Mirny-13." We've decided to catch up with him to ask him all about it.

Little Cities is a great cosy town-building game that thrives in how unique it all feels. Rather than cranking up the heat as you learn the mechanics, it takes the foot off the gas and lets you play at your own pace. To learn a little bit more about it and how it came about, we managed to chat with James Howard on making the game with his partner Kelly and the unique challenges that come with this. Hi there, could you introduce yourself, what you do on the team, and your pronouns for the piece

Recently, Hearthstone has undergone a bit of a big change. Replacing "Classic" with a new mode called "Twist", the rules have changed and with that comes new design philosophies and ways of seeing the game. Essentially, this is a rotation mode that only allows you to play with certain decks or in certain ways, restricting players so they invent new combos and ways of using cards that are otherwise overlooked. Being such a big game, as it continues to grow, it becomes hard to balance cards in wa

It's hard to understate just how important language is. It's used to express love, confusion, anger, and sometimes even used to prove a point. Imagine how hard this sentence would be to read fi ti saw sdrawkcab? Vokabulantis, the new co-op game from Morten Søndergaard, Kong Orange, and Wired Fly, attempts to add a stop-motion style to a moving story about language and, if its Kickstarter is anything to go by, they’ve started on the right animated foot.

Alongside the release date announcement for Moss: Book 2, we got the chance to chat with Josh Stiksma, the principal software engineer and design director for Moss: Book 2, about the previous game, its legacy and what it means to make a sequel.

Neverwinter is thought of by many as the most in-depth Dungeons & Dragons MMORPG experience available on console. Free-to-play, it delivers a world rich in lore, full of quests and containing enough gameplay hours to keep you busy for years to come. It’s constantly evolving too – and that is never more true than with the launch of the recent Avernus expansion. We wanted to find out more about how Neverwinter and Avernus sets players up, and reached out to one of the Lead Designers on the game.

Promising slick shooting, explosive gameplay and action movie flair, the upcoming launch of Rogue Company on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC is one that has many excited. When we were given the opportunity to find out more about the game, and how the cross-platform magic was gearing up, we just couldn’t say no. And that is where Scott Zier, the Creative Director at Hi-Rez and on Rogue Company, came in… Hi. Please introduce yourself – what is your role at Hi-Rez Studios and on the developm

With the brilliant Manual Samuel behind them, the moment we heard Perfectly Paranormal would be continuing their ‘Tuesday Trilogy’ of games, we got excited. And as the weeks and months have progressed, movement on their brand new adventure – Helheim Hassle – has increased.

From the second we heard of Eternal Hope from Doublehit Games, we just wanted to know more. A puzzle-platformer that has been inspired by the artistic stylings of Studio Ghibli, the appeal was immediate. And so we reached out to the team at Doublehit to request a little chat, all in the hope of finding out more about the game. Gabriel Oliveira, the Audio Director and Sound Designer on the game, was more than happy to divulge more. Please introduce yourself – what is your role at Doublehit Games
