REVIEW – “Mr. Sleepy Man” is an interactive lucid dream

by Michael Fertitta | PC Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 21 Mar 2026

These days, it can be hard to make a game stand out among the thousands released every year. Whether it’s a title requiring an elaborate marketing campaign or a solid pitching strategy, getting a game noticed becomes more difficult by the day. Mr. Sleepy Man, a dreamy 3D platformer from the mind of solo developer Devin Santi, challenged that narrative with its fascinating visual design and frankly absurd trailers. It absolutely stays true to the game’s world as a lucid dream of an experience.

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: “Talaka” represents Brazilian folklore in both approachable and hardcore ways

by Danreb Victorio | GDC PC Previews | 0 Comments | 20 Mar 2026

Last week I set up an appointment with Brazil Games to see four fun-looking titles being made by Brazilian developers, and while they all had some neat aspects, Talaka stood out to me the most.

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City” really makes you a ninja turtle, dude!

by Danreb Victorio | GDC PC Previews VR | 0 Comments | 19 Mar 2026

I’m not the biggest VR guy. I think the last time I messed with anything in VR was when I first got my PlayStation VR. But to be fair, I enjoyed a lot of the games I got, especially Beat Saber, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, and Batman Arkham VR. When I was asked if I wanted to take a GDC offsite appointment to play a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, I was all the way down. Say less.

[GDC 2026] First Look: “My Arms Are Longer Now” is set to be the best kind of bother

Jackbox is getting into the publishing game with their first wacky project, My Arms Are Longer Now.

We took a look at the game at GDC.

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: Climb the Corporate Ladder in “Worming From Home” 

by Adriana Rodriguez | GDC PC Previews Steam | 0 Comments | 19 Mar 2026

Day of the Devs had a delightful surprise for us called Worming From Home. The first ever worm-life simulator about working from home as a worm.

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: Don’t sleep on “Bubsy 4D”

by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch 2 PlayStation 5 Previews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 18 Mar 2026

Bubsy is a meme for all the wrong reasons. Nearly every game in the series is arguably terrible, and the self-deprecating jokes are often just as bad.

Well, Bubsy is back.

Again.

But all of a sudden it looks like he has the sauce. Out of the 30 game demos I played during GDC, Bubsy 4D is in my top three, and it’s not number three.

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: Smoke with “Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch” when it comes out on 4/20

by Danreb Victorio | GDC Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Previews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 18 Mar 2026

Yeah, I know. This stupid headline writes itself, and I’m going to keep it that way because I find it funny.

I wrapped up my Atari meetings at GDC with a 30-minute session with the latest Jay and Silent Bob game, and I left with roughly the same opinion I have about the movies.

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: “Marvel MaXimum Collection” brings back the 90’s arcade classics with accessibility in mind

by Adriana Rodriguez | GDC Handheld Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Previews Retro Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 17 Mar 2026

Limited Run Games had a special presentation for Marvel MaXimum Collection during GDC, and while we only got to try one of the six games, we came away impressed with the accessibility options.

FINAL PREVIEW – We’ve seen enough: We need “Pragmata” now

by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 5 Previews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 17 Mar 2026

This is the fourth preview I’ve written on Pragmata. I’m sold. I don’t need to see any more of the game until its launch, but when Capcom invites you to their San Francisco headquarters before GDC to play the game for two hours, you go.

REVIEW – “MIO: Memories In Orbit” is a punishing take on a Metroidvania that we still recommend

by Brandon Perkins | Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 16 Mar 2026

MIO: Memories in Orbit is a game that attempts to capture that feeling while also expressing it in the form of a Souls-like Metroidvania adventure game. Attempting to capture Melancholy in game form is nothing new (Quintet Co. famously built their entire brand around it), and especially not new when it comes to the world of indie game development.

REVIEW – “Pokémon Pokopia” is the best Pokémon game on any Switch

by Kayla Merritt | Nintendo Switch 2 Reviews | 0 Comments | 16 Mar 2026

As a fan of Pokémon over the past 30 years, Pokémon Pokopia is the game I’ve been waiting for since I was a kid. From the first moment I got to transform my Ditto into its trainer to getting to talk to and help my favorite Kanto region Pokémon, it made my heart warm. This cozy life sim is a deep and surprisingly profound way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this franchise.

REVIEW – Big production values and satirical framing help “Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!” shine beyond its solid, violent gameplay

by David Rodriguez | Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 16 Mar 2026

Ultimately, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! bets big and differently on production and wins. The concepts and framing are what make it unique and enhance the game as a total package.
