News by Matt S. It’s been a while coming. Serious Sam 4 was announced way (way) back in 2018, and it’s been a bit quiet on that game’s front ever since. I’m a bit of a fan of Serious Sam – it’s self-aware, and knows how utterly juvenile the shooter…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Announced last week, Sludge Life is yet another in the unending parade of quirky, different games that we’re seeing published by Devolver Digital this year. This one is coming to PC and Nintendo Switch, and is a very silly (by design) open world graffiti-tagging game that…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. The talented development team behind Minit really hit onto something special with that low-fi, high-concept little game about iterative progress. Now they’re back, in partnership with Devolver Digital, to announce something very different: Disc Room, a hardcore action game that’s all about surviving brutally sharp, rapidly…

Read MorePreview by Matt S. You can always rely on Devolver Digital to be behind the most oddball of ideas. Heave Ho is the next one and, yes, it’s oddball. Charmingly so. As a multiplayer-focused game, Heave Ho is surely destined to be a party game smash hit. The premise is…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Let’s set the scene. It’s 1993 – the SNES had just hit stores, and that means people are flogging off their old consoles. You chance upon a much-worn NES at a garage sale, along with a peculiar cartridge: “99 Games-in-one”. You’ve never seen this at your…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. My Friend Pedro is admittedly very on brand for Devolver Digital, and it’s no surprise either that it first found life as a Flash short on Adult Swim Games. It’s another in the line of skill-intensive, individual-expression-through-stylised-violence games that follows in the wake of Hotline Miami…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. Welcome to the second event of E3 we’re recapping! This time Devolver Digital is in the crosshairs, and if the past year is anything to go off, this year should bring more dry wit and unique games to the table. And lots of swearing. Related reading:…
