Surviving Mars is imminent, and so are remasters of classics like Devil May Cry and Burnout Paradise This week is going to be really tough for me. I’m a fan of city builders, and Surviving Mars is definitely going to eat an immense amount of my time. I’m worried, though, because I’m also into adventure…
A solid Cities: Skylines build is always an amazing sight, and this timelapse of a Mediterranean-style castle is a chill viewing experience. Despite being a huge fan of Cities: Skylines, I have to be honest: I am not the most artful player of the game. My roads always look a little clunky, and I a…
Solaire is an amiibo now, so it’s open season for beautiful crossovers and tie-ins for maximal corporate brand-sharing initiatives. If Dark Souls can make it to the Switch, and thus get an amiibo, then anything is possible. What about television shows? Radio serials? Podcasts? Video games that already have an amiibo and just need ten…

Battlefield 1’s easter eggs are normally big things like giant sharks or flying houses, but this small musical reload animation is just as funny as any of those spectacular ones. Normally when you reload a machine gun, you just get a clunky rolling noise. It’s metal on metal. However, according to a Reddit thread dedicated…
Return To Yharnam is a Bloodborne community event that is happening right now. It’s all about bringing longterm fans back into the game, and people are really getting into it. As I reported last week, Return To Yharnam is occurring at a great crossroads in time. Playstation Plus members recently received a copy of Bloodborne…
Northgard is a different kind of strategy game. It is about map control, sure, and there are resources to be gathered and enemies to defeat. In many ways, though, its unique combination of mechanics and concerns generates a fresh context for those actions. I’m a slow strategy game player. I’m not a fast learner when…
Fortnite is getting cross-play and cross-progression between Xbox One, PC, Mac, iOS and, eventually, Android. The development team announced a similar set of features for the Playstation 4 earlier this week
On Friday night, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds received a patch dedicated to anti-cheat measures. Many players are reporting that this patch has resulted in their inability to launch the PUBG client. Others are saying that the game has taken a massive performance hit. As of this morning, it still seems that PUBG Corporation are trying to figure…
For me, the most important part of city-builders is the plop. Plop is that feeling when a prefabricated building hits the ground, and it takes a great animation design to really sell the feeling of a godlike hand descending to drop a building onto the ground. Kingdoms and Castles really sells that plop. Plop isn’t…
On Friday, Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition developers Beamdog announced on a livestream that Siege of Dragonspear, their follow-up to the original Baldur’s Gate that they released back in March of 2016, is coming to the iOS and Android platforms on March 10th. Siege of Dragonspear takes place immediately after the events of Baldur’s Gate, and…
From Software’s Souls games and Bloodborne have online co-operation, but some areas become more abandoned as time goes on. Return To Yharnam is a community event set to start on March 10th that’s working to revitalize Bloodborne’s online world of bell-ringing hunters. Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls franchise, and Bloodborne all have the same general…
Battlefield 1’s final expansion, fittingly called Apocalypse, released during the last week of February. Alongside new guns and maps, the content pack also contains some very difficult unlockable dog tags. Reading over them, I wondered what it would take to get them. For the most part, the tasks that you have to do to unlock…

Into The Breach is a great strategy game, but I can’t seem to translate the skills I learned with the starting team into any of the more advanced ones. The basic game design of Into The Breach rewards you for learning general strategies. As you play through your first few attempts at the game, you…
Slated for a release sometime in 2018, Sky Haven is an airport simulation game being developed by Real Welders. I’ve watched this video of a little simulated airport something like five times now, and it has made me absolutely crave the ability to plan and build my own airport. Like most people, I do not…
Magic: The Gathering has its 25th anniversary this year, and Magic has been using its upcoming Masters 25 set to pull together some really neat narrative threads from throughout the game’s long history. While it’s mostly understood purely as a competitive card game, Magic has a deep and complex narrative that stretches back to its…
Hello. I’m Cameron Kunzelman. I’m your new Weekend Editor. I guess this intro post is supposed to function like a dating profile in the 1980s. I write all sorts of deep personal details into a text document, I ship it off, and then I wait for those sweet, delicious comments to roll in telling me…
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds forces all of us to make bad decisions sometimes. You might make a bad run for it when pinned between a wall and some enemies, or you might even drive a truck off a cliff to escape some pursuers. It’s a game about making choices that you never feel 100% about. Reddit user…
The first day of the PUBG Invitational in Katowice ended in a nightmare scenario of a circle where three teams competed for the dominance of an incredibly small amount of space. The final circle of a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds round is always a tense scenario, but the location of the final match of the day put…
