I like stealth games. I like mobile games I can play with one hand so I don’t have to decide between playing and holding the subway pole. I like Card Thief I’ve been playing this card-based stealth game for iOS (available now for $1.99) on all my commutes since it came out last week. As…

The beautifully-written survival exploration game Sunless Sea came to iPad last week. It feels right at home on mobile.

You set out from your home port of Fallen London in…
Weekends are for your roommate being away so you have no shame about sitting on the couch and shouting at the TV while eating nothing but pizza for two days. Also, video games. I’m finally into the Blood and Wine DLC for The Witcher 3. Someone who is TOTALLY NOT ME started it last weekend…

Weekends are for admitting that dish you made in your crockpot really didn’t come out well so you can give up on eating it and try something new. The crockpot is great because, while it does its thing, you can play video games! I’m almost done with the Hearts of Stone DLC for The Witcher…
We’re playing Mass Effect: Andromeda over on Facebook. Check it out:
Weekends are for returning those shoes you bought because you keep putting it off and if you end up running out of time on the return you’re gonna feel like an idiot. Also, video games. I’m going to tinker around in Ghost Recon Wildlands a bit more. I don’t love playing it solo, but it’s…

Morphblade, a new PC game by Gunpoint developer Tom Francis, has the allure of ‘one more round’ that would make it a great mobile game. I’m glad it’s not, though, because I already miss my subway stops enough. Morphblade takes place on a board made up of hexagons. Hexes give you random different abilities, though…
I hope you’re all enjoying your Switches if you bought one/if it actually arrived/if you don’t own an aquarium. My parents wouldn’t let me have Nintendo stuff as a kid, so I kind of missed the boat. Luckily this month is packed with awesome games, so whatever your preferred platform, there’s plenty to play! I’m…
