Draw Your Own Date In Doodle Date, Then Regret Not Having Art Skills
Doodle Date, a game that has been out on Steam for a week, and can be bought for the low, low price of two dollars, is not at all what I expected. I expected a dating sim with more player input than usual. What I got was a surreal journey of attempted murder, identity crisis,…

A Tabletop RPG For Storytellers Who Want To Be Infamous Criminals
If the industrial, supernatural world of Blades in the Dark was the backdrop for anything other than a tabletop role-playing game, I’d have written daily letters to its creator asking them to make it into one.

The Division’s Developers Keep Fixing ‘Weird Doors’
If you looked closely at the patch notes for a Division update from way back in November 2016, you would notice an odd sentence: “Fixed a Weird Door.” It would become a trend for Ubisoft’s enormous action-RPG, which would receive many more updates over the coming months. The following May, in Division patch 1.6.1, the…
