You could be forgiven for thinkingindie gamesare thriving right now. Last night’s triple-I indie showcase announcedSlay the Spire 2, which will undoubtedly be a huge hit, among a host of other cute and quirky games. I loved the recent indie releaseDeath of a Wish, and Devolver Digital’s latest releasesPepper GrinderandChildren of the Sunboth launched to excellent reviews and widespread media coverage. The absence of big triple-A hitters in 2024 is starting to be felt in this post-Final Fantasy, Like A Dragon, and Dragon’s Dogma world....

As pretty much every game ever created gets a remaster or a remake, even if it’s only a few years old, there’s one titlePlayStationcontinues to leave out in the cold, and that title isBloodborne. Not even aPS5upgrade for the incredibly popular Souls game, but there’s a silver lining heading into this weekend. While you might not be able to play a polished version of Bloodborne anytime soon, or maybe ever, Insert Coin has a new range of merch celebrating the game....

Ravensburger has taken a different approach to Ursula’s Return’s reveal season from anything we’ve seen before. For the first three expansions, there was a steady trickle of near-daily card reveals throughout the two months leading up to the new Lorcana expansion. Ursula’s Return launches in exactly one month, and so far we’ve only seen 21 cards, 17 of which were shown off during the Lorecast stream where the expansion was first revealed....

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas been controversial for almost as long as it has existed. Though hot in the headlines now as it arrives at our thumbs, each new reveal (and leak) for the game brought with it a new wave of discourse. There has been so much of it, and so consistently, that all of the discussion around this game’s child version of Poison Ivy has gotten out of the way before it launched, and now there are far more controversial issues to dig into....

The Riddler is not a complicated guy. Oh sure, he seems like he is - difficult to figure out, always says one thing and means another. A fun time not a long time guy, you know? But underneath it all, everything is very simple. It’s all just one big puzzle. Unfortunately, video games (the most obvious place for puzzles) don’t seem to understand this, andSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis the latest in a long line....

ATekken 8dataminer has uncovered several clues that hint at some of the DLC characters who might be making up the game’s first season pass alongside Eddy Gordo. Last month, just before the launch of Tekken 8,Bandai Namco revealed that Eddy Gordo would be coming to the gameas part of its first season pass, which seemingly confirmed an earlier leak that suggested he’d be followed up by Armor King, Roger, and a newcomer named Xiao Meng....

Summary Pokemonis a game that we all grew up with. There have been many conversations surrounding the franchise, but what would happen if these games became a reality? What would it be like if these Pokemon existed in our world and were a part of our daily life? Sure, it would be easier to get from place to place with a Blastoise or Charizard, but that’s not the only thing that would change....

Quick Links When building their teams inHonkai: Star Rail, some folks are faced with a choice: focus on depleting the enemy’s Toughness or their HP. If you’re looking for some Relic sets to help characters who inflict Weakness Breaks or serve as support for characters who inflict Weakness Breaks, Watchmaker Master of Dream Machinations is a great Relic set to fulfill that role. Watchmaker Master of Dream Machinations is Ruan Mei’s best Relic set, and it is fantastic on Xueyi....

Summary With Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, FromSoftware dropped the RPG formula of theDark Soulsseries to fully invest in a deep, involved, high-octane combat system. By ensuring every player would get the exact same tools during their journey, the studio could developthrilling boss fightsthat can only be beaten if you master Sekiro’s clever parry mechanic. Still, there are plenty of ways to get creative in Sekiro to take down powerful enemies, thanks to Quick Items and consumables that can give you the edge in combat....

Quick Links Magic: The Gathering’s full of interesting deck types and strategies. ‘Pillow fort’ decks are quite popular inCommander, centered around effects that make it harder for your opponents to attack you or interact with your board. This archetype relies heavily on enchantments, and has a lot in common withthe much less friendly ‘stax’ strategies. The big difference is that stax cards usually inhibit your opponents' ability to play the game in some way, whereas pillow fort strategies don’t normally interfere with the way opponents develop their own individual gameplans....

Summary While the Sega Ages branding has been used as far back as the Sega Saturn, the lineup of games on the Nintendo Switch is perhaps the strongest collection of them all. Not only do the Switch’s Sega Ages games showcase some of the best titles to come from this publisher’s storied history, but they often come packaged with neat new features that help make these classics more accessible than ever before....

Have you ever played a game and wished there was more of it, but not quite the same thing? Like maybe you just played a great first-person shooter, but you really wish you could just sit down and romance all those beloved characters. That’s where spin-offs come in, presenting us with new ways of looking at and playing in a pre-existing world. Spin-offs are incredibly common in games, though they’ve definitely dwindled in recent years — the environment for them to flourish in simply does not exist anymore....
