I didn’t know I needed a cosmic horror-fueled fishing game in my life – at least, not until I played Dredge. It’s not exactly a full-blown management sim ala Fishing Planet, but this 12-hour expedition through haunted open waters is both mysterious and compelling enough to tickle my brain and tug on all the right heartstrings. I felt possessed into flinging myself overboard with an unhinged smile cast across my lips, like one of its many macabre characters. …Figuratively speaking. Starting small and slow is a challenge, but upgrading my fishing boat led Dredge to spout forth a flurry of meaningful improvements to my fishing speed, inventory capacity, and my ability to scope out and evade the plethora of dangers that might rear their ugly heads at night.
Managing this fishing boat i...

You may have heard Disney Speedstorm was going to launch as a free-to-play kart racer from the crew behind Gameloft’s long-running Asphalt series. In fact, you may have heard this because that’s what we told you about it back when it was unveiled in June last year. Well, that’s changed. It’s still a kart racer from the Asphalt team, but it’s not actually going to officially launch in its free-to-play state until late 2023 or early 2024. What we have in its place is an “Early Access” version of Speedstorm that just… costs money to play – which, of course, is how all good video games worked before the game industry started copying the gambling industry’s homework...

The odds were against us!
Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom, there lived a bulldog named Sir Rufus. He was a brave knight who always stood up for what was right and just. Sir Rufus was also known for his exceptional skills in combat and his unbreakable will.
One day, a massive army of invaders marched towards the kingdom, ready to conquer and destroy everything in their path. The king of the land called upon Sir Rufus to lead the charge against the invaders, knowing that he was the only one who could save them from certain doom.
Without a second thought, Sir Rufus donned his armor and took up his sword and shield. He led his fellow knights and soldiers into battle against the massive army that outnumbered them by ten to one...

Like an Orange County socialite, Dead Island 2’s great looks and seemingly ideal first impression belies a striking lack of imagination. On one hand, Dambuster Studios has delivered a charming and hilarious apocalyptic sequel to the 2011 original that’s littered with great one-liners and dismembered body parts in equal measure. But aside from its balls-to-the-wall silliness and considerable comedy chops, there just isn’t much to it that hasn’t been done better in a dozen other zombie-filled games since the original Dead Island came out more than a decade ago, including and especially Dying Light 1 and Dying Light 2 (which, notably, were made by Techland, the studio that created Dead Island)...

– The courtship of Lady Valka.
Red Dog the Mutt was a knight like no other. Born to a family of farmers, he had no noble blood, no lands, and no pedigree to speak of. But what he lacked in status, he made up for in courage, determination, and a fierce loyalty to his king.
It was during a jousting tournament that Red Dog first laid eyes on Lady Valka, the fairest maiden in all the land. She was a vision of beauty, with long golden hair that cascaded down her back, and bright blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds.
Red Dog was immediately smitten, but he knew that he was not worthy of her. He was a mere knight, and she was the daughter of a powerful lord. But despite the odds against him, Red Dog was determined to win her heart.
He started by performing acts of chivalry and bravery...
– My army has become unstoppable and expensive!
Red Dog was a scrappy mutt who had been wandering the countryside for as long as he could remember. He had no family, no home, and no one to call his own. But Red Dog was fierce and determined, and he had a strong sense of justice.
One day, Red Dog stumbled upon a group of knights who were in need of help. They were engaged in a fierce battle with a group of bandits, and they were outnumbered. Red Dog didn’t hesitate to join the fight. He may have been just a mutt, but he had a fierce determination and a strong will to win.
With Red Dog’s help, the knights were able to defeat the bandits. They were impressed by Red Dog’s courage and fighting skills, and they invited him to join their army...
A good strategy game is ultimately one about choice. Which units to create, where to allocate resources, which strategies to implement. The right decisions lead to victory, while the wrong ones force you to adapt and adjust or else suffer bitter defeat. I found myself at the crossroads of these decisions time and again as I played Minecraft Legends, Mojang and Blackbird Interactive’s simplified take on an action-RTS. It doesn’t always do a perfect job opening the door of this often intimidating genre to a wider audience, but the way it largely manages to streamline things without losing most of those important tactical moments is what makes Minecraft Legends work.
Simplicity is one of Minecraft Legends greatest strengths...

While 2021’s Sherlock Holmes Chapter One had the world’s most iconic detective confronting the ghosts from his past, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened has him dusting off his deerstalker cap in order to investigate a cult worshiping a cosmic, Cthulu-like presence. However, despite the clear influence of HP Lovecraft, The Awakened presents a mystery that’s surprisingly light on scares, with the majority of its attempts to unsettle coming across as more silly than genuinely spine-chilling. Although there was still a solid amount of investigations and crime scene recreations to sink my teeth into over the course of its 10 hours, it was hard to fully buy into Sherlock’s supposed battles with his own sanity at the center of the story when I struggled to find anything to fear in his surroundings...
