Metroidvania Madness — Which New Action-Platformer Is Right For You?
Metroidvanias became the belle of the indie ball somewhere in the mid 2000s and has been a staple of grassroots game development ever since. That said, August 2018 seems to be particularly thick with games that fit this mold. Augustvania is upon us, and it's full of great games that might be hard to differentiate at first blush. So let this little guide help you find what makes each of these new releases special.

Innovate in the Medieval Cemetery Sector with Graveyard Keeper
I've never run a cemetery. Heck, I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've actually been in one. So I'm not really the an expert on the kinds of things that go on in them. That said, I feel pretty confident in the statement that Graveyard Keeper, the new management sim by Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild, is NOT an accurate description of what goes down there. But it's probably a lot more fun.

Defeat the Immortals in Death's Gambit
Working as the right hand man to Death themself is a pretty big task. Especially since this was one of the Ghost Rider-type bargains where you maybe made a bad choice in a desperate moment and now the rest of your miserable life is spent doing supernatural dirty work. In Death's Gambit, that dirty work is taking down the immortal guardians of Siradon, who have been acting really cocky in the face of their resistance to dying. Purging their souls won't be easy, but you're a pretty capable reaper.

Gamepedia Editor of the Month - July 2018
It's not often that an editor blows us away with work on a wiki for an unreleased game, but that's what happened in July. Mug806 went above and beyond to document every scrap of info he could find about Satisfactory, an upcoming game from Coffee Stain Studios, and put it on the Official Wiki. Now, if Coffee Stain Studios sounds familiar, it's because they're the team behind the 2014 smash hit, Goat Simulator. And, yes, they're bringing the funny again. We caught up with our July 2018 Editor of the Month to discuss wiki editing and, of course, his MORE than Satisfactory work.

Be the Master of Your Own Tiny World in Deiland
Back when the universe was still young, small, magic planets were dispersed throughout it. Children were tasked to travel to these worlds to search for magic crystals. As Arco, you search the eponymous Deiland for this font of power, while also surviving on the tiny planet in solitude. Seems like quite the task for a 10-year-old.
