Pikuniku is pure cartoon weirdness, and we love it
Pikuniku is a pretty weird puzzle game developed by indie studio Sectordub and published by Devolver.
One glance at the game and you'll immediately see the similarities to other crazy games like LocoRoco, Katamari Damacy, and the new Donut County. Pikuniku is trying to out-crazy them all with environments, characters, and visuals that can only be described as "pure nonsense."

The Elder Scrolls Blades plays a bit like Skyrim, but on your phone
The Elder Scrolls Blades is the latest entry in the Elder Scrolls saga, and it is coming to the only platform Skyrim is not - mobile phones.
I had the opportunity to explore a dungeon in The Elder Scrolls Blades demo, and it made me realize that it's time I get myself a new phone. Perhaps the Apple iPhone X, since...

Re-Legion seeks to convert you back to strategy games
Re-Legion is a tactical strategy game set in a cyberpunk future. We recently played a demo of the game together with developer Ice Code Games' CTO Mateusz Pilski and discovered that there's still room to innovate when it comes to RTS games.
In Re-Legion, you play as Elion, a prophet that hopes to convert every single citizen in the city to his...
RAGE 2 hands on demo lets us experiment with Nanotrite powers and wepaons
RAGE by id Software wasn't received well by both players and critics, so it was a big surprise when we learned a sequel was on the way.
After playing through a short RAGE 2 demo, I can confidently tell you that there's a lot to look forward to. I played through the same Eden Assault mission Bethesda revealed back at...
A giant skeleton and a little girl work together in Carly and the Reaperman
Carly and the Reaperman aspires to be more than your average VR game. It is a two-player game in which one player uses a standard controller to play as Carly, an innocent little girl stuck in the underworld, while the other player wears a VR headset to take the rule of the Reaperman - death itself.
To beat the game,...
Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is a horror RPG that fully commits to the works of Lovecraft
One of the best things about gaming conventions is the games you discover there. You wander around the halls and booths and stumble upon hidden gems and exciting titles.
One of the exciting games I discovered during Gamescom 2018 was Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones. It's a Lovecraftian RPG with tactical combat and oddly evocative illustrative visuals.

Decay of Logos blends the difficulty of Dark Souls with the charm of Zelda
Decay of Logos is a hidden gem of an indie game that feels like a cross between Dark Souls and Legend of Zelda - and it looks the part. What's more astonishing is that the team developing the game counts merely four designers.
I had the unique opportunity to sit down with Ricardo Teixeira from Amplify Creations, one of the developers...
