Fight more crabs Explaining the concept ofFight Crabfeels redundant because, well, it’s all right there in the name. It’s afighting game… with crabs. The kaiju crustaceans left such a good impression that developer Calappa Games went fishing for more maybe-not-voluntary battlers and announced a follow-up:Fight Crab 2. Just in case you’re uncomfortable with imposing a combat sport on sea creatures, the sequel adds humans to the mix, so you can enjoy the zany announcement trailer with a clear conscience....

Taking off for the woods When listing off my favourite games, I’m shamefully likely to neglect to mentionFirewatch. This is probably because Firewatch isn’t a game that had some huge formative impact on me, or reframed my entire relationship with gaming, or became an enduring obsession of my hyperfixation-prone brain. Firewatch is, quite simply, a very lovely game, and one that I happily revisit on a fairly regular basis. I think the main draw of Firewatch, for me, is the forest....

Poetry on the bus (or in bed) Developer Cardboard Computer sporadically released their poetic adventure game,Kentucky Route Zero, in acts spread across multiple years. It was a teasing release schedule that only aided the game’s surreal mystery, so it’s no surprise that the studio have dropped the game’s first major update three years after the fifth and final chapter wrapped things up. The aptly named Postmodern Update overhauls the game’s user interface with a new Modern mode, alongside a host of bug fixes and more language options....

Slipping in between Alan Wake 2 and Alone In The Dark All the snazzy vertical running, slashing, dashing and sliding is intact from the original game, only this time there’s a motorbike for some bonus cool points.Previous trailershad already shown off the steely vehicle and had me hoping (expecting) that an Akira-style bike slide would show up at some point in the game, because, let’s be real, this is a dystopian cyberpunk world with cool motorbikes....

The classic ‘trap them in four walls’ method works, phew The Sims 4has long dominated the life simulation arena, but a pair of hopeful rivals are soon stepping into the ring to challenge the undisputed champ.Life By YouandParalivesboth have grand plans to unseat (or at least share it with) EA’s life sim juggernaut, and they both promise to set themselves apart with features that Simmers have long been asking for. But I only have one question for both of them: can I kill my Sims?...

Admire these attractive and interesting indie games Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by a good deal of wetness, sailing over a post-apocalyptic sea, walking going under a post-Apocalyptic sea, and ogling a waterfall. Check out these interesting indie games and so many more in our latest highlights!...

Raid against the dying of the light It’s hard to know where to start withSix Ages 2 Colon Lights Going Out. The initial uncertainty and esoteric nature of its world has always been the series' biggest problem, as it appears to demand a lot of foreknowledge to play. But rather than memorising facts and (ugh) “lore”, it’s a series that encourages a different mindset to pretty much any other game. These games are about culture and myth, and how both interact and change over time....

Firewatch, but with space stuff Calling a spaceship The Invincible might seem like an initially hopeful idea, but boy oh boy, does it open the door to some ironic and probably deadly occurrences. We’ll see just how lucky the ship is whenThe Invinciblecomes out on its newly-revealed release date, November 6th, though some readers may know how this story ends already, since it’s based on Stanisław Lem’s 1964 science fiction novel of the same name....

An awesome performer for PC, PS5 and Series X. Innocn isn’t a brand that most people have heard of, but this Chinese firm has been pumping out surprisingly well-reviewed monitors for some time now, often hitting niches more well-known companies haven’t reached while being extremely aggressive on price. That’s a winning combination for models backed by positive critical reviews, and today we spotted a deal on perhaps their best monitor yet - the Innocn 27M2V, a 27-inch 4K 160Hz monitor with a Mini LED backlight and HDMI 2....
