Every Sims player has, in their past, built a plain, box-shaped house with a single gabled roof and a weirdly empty-feeling living room inside and wondered “why does this look so wrong?” It’s a canon event. But with some easy Sims 4 build tips, you don’t have to scratch your head forever. I don’t think…

Not to be left out of creature catching convention, Palworld does have rarer, more powerful variants that Pokémon players will likely find themselves calling “shiny Pals” out of habit. Officially Palworld calls shinies Lucky Pals instead. You could easily assume otherwise, though, because Lucky Pals literally sparkle while they walk around with a loud, shimmering…

It turns out that one of the best pals to catch early on in Palworld is actually, somehow, one of its bosses. The first major goal in Palworld is taking your team to challenge the tower bosses and their giant Pals but thanks to an exploit players have found, you can actually just catch those…

As is the case with so many survivalcraft games, Palworld is great for chilling, grinding, and crafting with your pals. The human ones, I mean, but also your Chikipis and Lamballs. Basic Palworld multiplayer allows up to 4-player co-op but community servers and dedicated servers can host up to 32 players. And although there is…

Though I’m genuinely excited about all those launches, I know what kind of creature I am. I’m a ‘nightly game sessions with the group chat’ girl, and multiplayer crafting games are…

Your bugs are going to die. I feel it’s important to let you know that from the start. Bugaboo Pocket is a Tamagotchi-like game about cultivating bug species to revitalize the environment after your evil corpo bosses destroyed it, and inevitably you’re going to say goodbye to them all, give them a nice burial and…

The showstopper of my hands-on preview of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth was a boss battle with a shark, so the series which has historically made me fistfight tigers, bears, and an excavator is not getting any less bombastic. It’s also not getting any smaller, developer RGG said, and during the hands-on preview session I…

Though “cozy” may be one of the more difficult genre trends to pin a definition on, there are ever more of us looking for the next game that’s chill, creative, cute, or some mix thereof. And in response to that growing audience, our choices for best cozy games just keep multiplying. This year looks like…
