I continue to have astrophysics on the brain, and over the weekend, managed to spend an hour in Void Crew from Hutlihut Games and Focus Home. It’s part of the surprisingly prosperous genre of “team up to complete some big unwieldy task with multiple moving parts” games, and while it hasn’t yet hit the highs
no hard feelings film review No Hard Feelings had us nostalgic for a very specific point in movie history.

Games have, over their history, often sought to become interactive movies or cartoons. There is the general decades-long race towards realism in Triple-A games running on higher and higher-specced hardware, the labour-intensive, hand-drawn aesthetic of many indie games like Cuphead or Hoa and, of course, that art form traditionally maligned but subject of a recent

I didn’t think I’d wake up today writing about how a goldfish can in fact beat the first phase of the hardest boss in Elden Ring, but that’s exactly what I’m doing. Let’s jump back a bit, first. Earlier this year, YouTuber and streamer PointCrow decided to boldly ask what no one has ever asked

NASCAR games are sometimes dismissed by those who don’t play them for being games comprised of mostly left turns. While that’s correct, there’s a lot of depth to simulation stock car racing to explore, and lengthy races allow strategies to be implemented. NASCAR Arcade Rush is a far different spin, as it’s an arcade-style game
My assumption thus far was that Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Realms Of Ruin, whatever its eventual qualities, would be the kind of big-campaigned strategy game I’d never make time for. Then I watched the new “game overview” trailer below, and now I’m thinking it might have something for me after all.
