Reminder: There’s already a Fallout TV series you can watch now for free, and it’s pretty darn good
Prime TV’s Fallout series streams on April 10, with all 8 episodes available immediately—but I’ve got some great news if you don’t have an Amazon Prime subscription. There’s already a Fallout TV show, and you can watch it right now for the price of completely free. Fallout: Nuka Break is a multi-season web series that…

Starfield mod expands the base-building system with 40 new farmable plants, massive bio-domes, and your very own Chunks franchise that earns passive income

On my personal Starfield wishlist is an expansion to the planetary base system. Bases can be useful—you can hire NPCs to work there and generate resources from the planets you build on—but they’re not much fun, and once you’ve set them up there’s very little reason to hang around. It’s a part of the game…

Prime TV’s Fallout series is only a few days away, and there’s a way to check out the first episode even if you don’t have an Amazon Prime subscription. Fittingly enough for a TV show based on a videogame series, the Fallout premiere on Thursday, April 11 will be broadcast live on Twitch. “Adventuring through…

This base-building automation game looks like Factorio in space with bullet hell combat and Dyson spheres
Ever watch a game trailer and think “I don’t know what the hell is going on here but I know I like it”? That’s how I feel about Final Factory, which looks like a Factorio-style automation game, only set in outer space, and it also has bullet hell combat, plus a space station design system,…

This criminally overlooked golf game just got a huge update, including a new career mode
It recently occurred to me: I’ve got a Steam Deck, I’ve got a comfy couch… why the heck aren’t I playing golf? I couldn’t find a whole lot of Deck-friendly golf games that didn’t require an emulator or weren’t some sort of golf variation like What the Golf?, but I eventually stumbled upon Super Video…

April is a monster month for city builders and colony sims
Hope you’ve got your toolbox handy, because you’re going to need it in the weeks ahead: April is quickly shaping up to be a killer month for city builders, settlement builders, and colony sims. If you like surviving the apocalypse, practicing medieval diplomacy, or building cities on the back of a giant flying turtle, April…

House Flipper 2 just became a platformer with a new ‘The Floor Is Lava’ mode, and no, it’s not just an April Fools’ joke
Long before videogames existed, some bored child, probably trapped in their house on a rainy day, invented an analog platformer with one simple rule: get across the room without touching the floor. Chairs, tables, cabinets, couch cushions, ottomans, anything that could be leapt to and stood upon became a safe space in a dangerous world.…

This year’s best April Fools’ Day gaming gags: Bears, bugs, and 97,000 floppy disks
Over the years I’ve devolved from a fun-loving scamp into a crusty curmudgeon—practically a coot at this stage—when it comes to April Fools’ Day on the internet. Most April Fools’ jokes are… they’re lies, right? It’s just lying. We already get plenty of disinformation the other 364 days of the year, so a day dedicated…

One of our favorite city builders has sold over a million copies on Steam, and there’s an expansion on the way
Typically when you’re playing a city builder, the metropolis you’re constructing is meant to last a long time. In fact, making your city last the whole game is usually the entire point of the game. That’s one of the reasons why Against the Storm stands out from the crowd. The cities you build won’t last…

I’m obsessed with the bizarre 16th century inspired creature design in roguelike deckbuilder Hermetica

A naked man with a face covering its torso. A snail with a human head. And one that’s half-nun and half…I don’t know what. In my office I have a wall hanging of the carta marina: a big map of the Nordic countries drawn in the 16th century. I love it because you can peer…
