Five new Steam games you probably missed (April 22, 2024)
On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is…

Fallout season 2 has been confirmed, so bring on the deathclaws
To the surprise of nobody, the Fallout TV series will be getting a second season. Until yesterday, I had assumed that a second season was guaranteed—especially given the enticing finale of the first season—but actually, it had not: a report in The Wrap published on April 15 revealed that Prime Video had yet to purchase…

If the Fallout TV series gets a second season it’ll have deathclaws, more than justifying its existence
It’s surprising that season 1 of the Fallout TV series doesn’t have a deathclaw.

Six years after Kingdom Come Deliverance, Warhorse Studios is announcing its new game next week
Warhorse Studios, creators of 2018’s Kingdom Come Deliverance, will announce its next game on April 18. The announcement of the impending announcement doesn’t come with any further detail, save an image of a Horse apparently readied for War, and a figure sitting astride said horse. I’m going to guess the announcement is for a sequel.…

This sidescrolling horror RPG about being trapped in a nightmare is like Amnesia crossed with Deathloop
We can speculate about why there are a lot of horror games nowadays, versus barely none at all about 10 years ago. Maybe horror games are less expensive to make and thus more viable for smaller developers, especially when the unheimlich effect of early 3D graphics is so suited to the genre, not to mention…
