As far as I’m concerned, E3 2017 is already the greatest E3 for 3D platformers in the last decade, simply because Microsoft announced Super Lucky’s Tale. But Playful’s Xbox One exclusive isn’t the only 3D platformer at this year’s event. Sharing the spotlight is Gears…
Undertale isn’t the only digital download indie game getting physical this week. Limited Run Games releases physical editions of largely digital only games in limited quantities. Yesterday, they announced a string of new games they’ll be releasing in physical form throughout the year. In a…
After 4 alpha releases and hundreds of gameplay videos, Hello Neighbor is set to launch on PC and Xbox One on August 29th. Publisher Alex Nichiporchik from tinyBuild appeared on Twitch’s E3 Stream to show off some gameplay from the new Beta build. The Beta…
Sony’s E3 press conference was noticeably devoid of indie titles this year. This was a bit shocking as Sony had previously gone out of its way to make a big deal out of how much more indie friendly PlayStation was over Xbox. This year, with…
Beethoven & Dinosaur’s surreal, narrative-driven action/adventure platformer, first showed up on our radars when we only covered crowdfunded games. Saddled with the ponderous title, The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti, the game’s Kickstarter campaign failed to reach it’s AU$ 50,000 goal. Undaunted, the devs kept at…
What in the world is Megaton Rainfall? That’s a good question, particularly as there’s been a noticeable lack of news on this title since it impressed at numerous indie events almost two years ago. Essentially it’s a first-person superhero simulator, allowing you to zip around…
“Digital games killed the gaming store.” The idea that digital downloads of video games would obliterate physical games has been around for as long as the medium itself. “Just wait,” advocates of digital games would say, “a reckoning is coming for brick and mortar game…
Color me surprised. In terms of indie game showings it was neither Sony nor Nintendo duking it out for the most games as I theorized. Instead, Microsoft ran away, showcasing at least 10 indie games, which is 10 more than Sony and nine more than…
We’re used to Sony blowing us out of the water with their conferences. Whether it’s announcing a slew of new games, or giving spotlight to smaller indie titles, they typically bring the heat. But last night’s Sony E3 press conference was little more than the…
Microsoft’s E3 trailer for The Darwin Project opens on a desolate night as a man furtively tries to warm his bloodied hands by a fire. Turning away to investigate a noise, he doesn’t see an assailant sneaking up behind him. After a flurry of combat,…
During the PC Gaming Conference at E3 2017, developer Klei Interactive announced Griftlands, an RPG with a huge emphasis on player freedom. As the Steam page states “everything is negotiable: money, loyalty—even morality.” Not much was shown of the game, but the short minute long…
E3 press conferences are usually kinda terrible. There are always great games, sure. But all the bits in-between of corporate executives trying to look cool, and socially awkward developers mumbling about their game really sucks. Good thing Devolver Digital showed the industry how to do…
I hope you’re sitting down for this, because your mind is about to be blown twice. Firstly, Microsoft debuted Super Lucky’s Tale at their E3 press conference last night. Super Lucky’s Tale is an old-school 3D platformer, making it Microsoft’s first since Voodoo Vince way…
Look no further than New York-based developer Mighty Morgan if you’re on a quest to unleash your inner lawman. Their new crowdfunded game places you front and center as two digitized cops looking to rid the land of scumbags and the like. Police Stories, a…
Life comes at you fast, as did Dontnod’s episode adventure game Life is Strange. After a rocky start with the first episode’s hit or miss writing, the series took off. It eventually sold over three million copies, and remains one of the most grounded and…
Fullbright may not have invented the walking simulator with Gone Home, but they perfected it. Released in 2013, Gone Home set the standard for a genre with its engrossing narrative and laid back gameplay. The gameplay was so laid back that people dubbed the game…
