Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is a deep dive into the history of the horror franchise with its characters, stages, and monsters. Like the Operation Guns DLC did for Contra, this DLC fills your monster-slaying mayhem with various creatures from all over the Castlevania games, digging up all manner of fun creatures from the series’ […]
Stardew Valley creator Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone has earned one of Steam’s most impressive achievements for his own game. Eight years since the farming sim made its debut, Barone has “finally got 100 percent achievements in Stardew Valley”. This means the creator has even completed Fector’s Challenge, something only 1.2 percent of other players have actually […]
“Let’s make a 90’s arcade game!” This sounded like a pretty good idea to us at Digital Eclipse back in 2022, when the first seeds of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind took root. Play Video Arcade gaming was firing on all cylinders when MMPR debuted in 1993. The 16-bit home era was well underway […]
What Remains Of Edith Finch is a very upsetting collection of interactive short stories about the brief, tragic lives of a cursed family who live in a monstrous treehouse. It’s also a wonderful show of experimentation, switching genres from story to story – one minute you’re a playable bestiary on shuffle, the next you’re beheading […]
Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-British architect and artist, whose glossy, curvy, arcing buildings have looped and flexed through so many cities around the world, once noted that she had never been asked to design anything of particularly striking significance in London.

In any medium, a remake is a complicated undertaking. A conscious endeavour to produce a piece of art that already exists always inspires the question, why? It’s generally accepted that the decision to remake a film or a video game comes from a place of reverence for the original work. But is that admitted reverence […]
The Coma 2B: Catacomb may be at its most terrifying when your monstrous enemy is nowhere in sight and all you hear is her rushing footsteps. This game puts us back in the shoes of Youngho, the protagonist of the first The Coma, following their actions after that game and bridging the story into The […]
Rock Paper Shotgun has a fuzzy conception of “news”, in that we regard the “new” element of news as overrated, more of a guideline than an obligation. The trick to selling this mindset is to overclock your obnoxious narcissism until it levels up into stylish solipsism. “It’s news to me,” I sternly insist, while announcing […]
