I admit, I might have a slight obsession with Urban Myth Dissolution Center, which launches in February 2025. It sounds wonderful: the publisher describes it as a single-player psycho-detective mystery adventure that has a unique blend of psychological intrigue and supernatural investigation. It is split into episodes/chapters, and the latest trailer showcases what comes in Episode 2: Death from the…
Super Monkey Ball is cute. Hatsune Miku is cute. Sega has its hand in both. It just makes sense to bring the real pop princess to Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, the latest game in the long-running series. Paid DLC for guest characters Hatsune Miku and Godzilla will launch next…
When it comes to the Atelier series, combat and synthesis are core…

When you mash together Tamagotchi-style gameplay with RPG elements, you get Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago. The goal is to raise elves to become heroes who save the land. It’s pretty cute, and should be rather relaxing too. The retro graphics and colouring make me super happy, there’s something familiar…

Toodee and Topdee (it’s a weird name but I kind of like it) combines 2D platformer and top-down puzzler into one unique game. In fact, the game started with the idea to merge those two different genres as a game jam prototype. They got great feedback, and Toodee and Topdee…

Yes, Final Fantasy XIV is still running strong! It has a total of 27 million registered players, and expanded Free Trial makes it super easy to start the game despite the fact it first launched over a decade ago. What keeps players returning is these patches that involve lots of…

Video game lovers have been obsessed over whether or not in-game dogs can be pet for years (in the upcoming Little Friends: Puppy Island, you can pet literally all of them!), but now it’s time for the dog to be the protagonist. Breeze in the Clouds is a 2D action…

It was announced months ago that PowerWash Simulator will be getting three paid DLC packs this year, but no specifics were given. Well, the first has been announced, and there’s a famous sea sponge behind it. A certain seas sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. That’s right:…

All a developer/publisher has to mention is that something is inspired by Stardew Valley, and I’ll be immediately drawn to it. Mirthwood is one of those titles, though it’s also inspired by Fable (love it!) and Rimworld (haven’t played it). It’s a captivating single-player game about an epic journey through…
