Visitors A Month
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.
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.
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.
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.
Real life getting you down? Wish you could find a way to keep a smile on your face at all times so you don't have to worry about the low points of everyday life? In Compulsion Games' trippy dystopian adventure We Happy Few, that's the order of the day! Simply keep taking your Joy pills, and everything will be right as rain!
The gaming world has been relatively quiet over the past week, but there are a few shining gems out there that definitely deserve your attention, like, say, a topdown battle royale to get into heaven? Lucky for you, we've got the scoop on everything you need to know about two new games joining our collection of Official Wikis.
Path of Exile players will soon have the opportunity to descend into the deepest, darkest parts of Wraeclast come August 31. As part of the upcoming Delve expansion, those who can effectively wield the power of the light will reap the biggest rewards, while those who fail to do so will be consumed by darkness. We recently chatted with Grinding Gear Games managing director, Chris Wilson, to learn more about this upcoming league.
Since March of 2016, Periscope Games has been developing what they hoped would become the catalyst for a new wave of hardcore, historically accurate shooters based on World War II. Modders from the Battlefield 2 and SQUAD scenes came together to make it a reality. Their baby: Post Scriptum - The Bloody Seventh.
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.
Dauntless, the co-op, monster-hunting action-RPG currently in open beta from Phoenix Labs, just received its latest update with the The Coming Storm. With a new behemoth to slay and new weapons to acquire, there has never been a better time to check out the game. Here’s some of the new content you’ll be able to sink your teeth into.
