There’s apparently a lot of little things you have to do when you drive a public transit bus, and Bus Simulator 18 has clearly gone to great pains to replicate them all realistically. You’ve got to manage the lights (exterior and interior), front and rear doors, a ticket machine, wheelchair...
I won’t spoil anything but suffice it to say that the game seems to have a clear political stance on the idea of healthcare as a privatized industry. As Alex regains his memory, though, the simulation begins to fail. This becomes worse each day as the androids begin to malfunction,...
Last year, Sega blew everyone away with Sonic Mania. For a lot of Sonic fans, the game felt like the second coming of their beloved blue blur. Now, a whole year later, they’ve delivered what feels like the definitive version of that experience with Sonic Mania Plus. Yet there’s no...
20XX
20XX wants to be a Mega Man game for a new age. The futuristic platformer clearly strives to be equal or better than the Blue Bomber, adding a few new ideas to the old formula and producing something new. The game can stand on its own, it is a lot...
Rainbow Skies
I was initially fooled by this game. At first glance, it looks like it should be a free to play mobile title. Yet a little time spent with Rainbow Skies dismantled both these crass assumptions in short order. While I was put off by the slightly bobble-headed character models and...

Dinosaur theme park, in terms of ideas, it doesn’t get much cooler than that. “I’m not worried. It’s just a zoo, Henry.” Well, for anyone that ever saw a Jurassic Park film, we know exactly how that all turned out. Even knowing that, we all still would want to give...
Let’s get in out of the way: Unforeseen Incidents is a bad name. After all, the phrase “unforeseen incidents” could be used to describe pretty much any media, since what puts a story into motion is quite literally called the “inciting incident.” And Unforeseen Incidents deserves better, because it’s a...
The Banner Saga 2, the second game in developer Stoic’s trilogy of tactical role-playing games, is out now on Nintendo Switch. That’s great news, but it’s clear from the get-go that your overall enjoyment of the game will vary greatly depending on whether you have a completed save file from...
The newest addition to The Elder Scrolls Online is here, and it’s taken us to Summerset: the picturesque Altmeri homeland that is equally ominous as it is beautiful. The new island brims with amazing little adventures that you won’t regret exploring, whether you are brand new to the MMO or...
Are you a fan of walking simulators? To some, they represent the antithesis of video games, removing all but the minimum interaction to be considered a “game.” To others, they are the essence of interactive narrative, boiling a story down to your experience with it. Stories like Gone Home or...
