There’s one word I wanted to avoid while talking about Creature in the Well, the new game from maverick developer Flight School Studio: pinball. Even the studio rep speaking to me about the demo afterward seemed to tiptoe around it. They’ve been trying to emphasize action-RPG, dungeon crawler, hack and slash. Not pinball. Because when you mention Creature

Developer Frozenbyte’s Trine series is returning with Trine 4, and it’s shaping up to be a return to form for the franchise. The last entry in the series, Trine 3, landed to mediocre reviews and disappointing fan reception citing a short length and disappointing ending. Frozenbyte went so far as to say “the future of the series

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, the new game from Palindrome Interactive and Kalypso Media Group, hasn’t lit the world aflame since its somewhat muted reveal. It might not be the best strategy to introduce a brand new intellectual property with complex mechanics and deep, intersecting gameplay systems via a minute-long animated cinematic. It’s a shame too, because

Journey to the Savage Planet was one of the surprises of E3 2019, where its self-described “earnest comedy” charmed nearly everyone who got to lay their hands on it at 505 Games’s meeting rooms. After spending an hour exploring the world of Journey to the Savage Planet, I sat down for a short chat with
I flung my pastel pink jelly bean body against the doorway’s twisted patterns with reckless abandon, but it was no use. This was not the door-hole for me, and I winced as a neon-blue competitor repeated the same task two doors down, only for the door to fall and the path to open. They were
