“Dead as Disco” early access — Is it worth it?

by Andrew Farrell | Features | 0 Comments | 08 May 2026

What do you get if you take Batman: Arkham’s combat, mix it with a rhythm game, and throw it into several short levels? Well, you get Dead as Disco, that’s what! The game has just entered early access and is set to stay there for at least a year as it receives new combat mechanics, levels, and bosses to fight. At launch, there are five levels, in addition to the endless mode available in the demo. The game has a long way to go and is sure to receive lots of additional polish, but is Dead as Disco worth it in early access?

[MagicCon Vegas 2026] Expansion for today and tomorrow’s community

by Marie Ablaza | Features | 0 Comments | 07 May 2026

MagicCon Vegas 2026 showcase didn’t just tease new cards. It outlined a broader strategy: expand Magic’s reach through crossovers, experiment with new formats, and lower the barrier to entry without losing depth. From “Universes Beyond” spectacles to entirely new ways to play, MagicCon Vegas 2026 felt less like a preview and more like a mission statement.

REVIEW – “Mixtape” is an instant classic that truly delivers only the hits

by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 07 May 2026

When I first got my hands on a demo of Mixtape at Summer Game Fest last year, I knew it was going to be special. I knew it as soon as I put on the headphones and started vibing to…

GAAS UPDATE – “Apex Legends” is making things exciting again with the new Overclocked seasonal update

by David Rodriguez | Epic Games Store Features Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Steam Xbox One Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 06 May 2026

I’ve been playing Apex Legends since the day it launched and I will say the new Overclocked update for season 29 is probably the most excited I’ve been for more Apex in over a year or two.

REVIEW – “inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories” is so cozy, it might be too cozy

by Danreb Victorio | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 06 May 2026

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is a game that had my attention as soon as I laid my eyes on it. I vividly remember the game at the corner of the room at Day of the Devs: San Francisco Edition in 2025 with a line that would never end, but I was fine with not playing it because it just wasn’t the right atmosphere for it. Luckily for me, it was featured at the first Steam Next Fest this year, and I loved what I played in the demo, despite it toying with my anxiety.

REVIEW – Cozy-punk narrative sim “Wax Heads” perfectly encapsulates an incredibly important relationship between community and music

by David Rodriguez | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 05 May 2026

Wax Heads still understood me on a level that another game really hasn’t in the 30 years I’ve been playing them. I laughed (a lot), I cried (a bit), I smiled (endlessly).

HANDS-ON – “D-Topia” demo is a window into a relaxing puzzle-solving experience

by Michael Fertitta | PC PlayStation 5 Previews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 05 May 2026

Annapurna Interactive has always been a name I associate with developers and publishers that create games with fascinating and deep narratives. With the rise of AI in nearly every aspect of our lives, it opens the door for a larger conversation about the existentialism of working alongside technologies that can grow beyond human comprehension. D-Topia, an upcoming puzzle game from Annapurna, seeks to tell a story in a similar manner, and I was interested in checking out how far the demo dives into this increasingly relevant topic.

REVIEW – “Motorslice” has a lot of unique ideas but cuts up its controls too much

by Andrew Farrell | PC Reviews | 0 Comments | 03 May 2026

I’d been patiently waiting for Motorslice for actual years. Seeing as so much of the game has you cut down robots in a manner reminiscent of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, I was sold from the get-go. However, it’s not really an action game, focusing more on a Prince of Persia-esque experience. While there are many things to like about it, some baffling control issues significantly damage the game. I don’t regret playing it, but I do hope the devs improve the controls in the coming weeks to make the game less aggravating.

REVIEW – “Invincible VS” is a scrappy addition to a turbulent fighting game market, but a lightweight on playable content

by David Rodriguez | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 30 Apr 2026

Invincible VS is good. It’s a big game even if it feels small at times. Good production does it some nice favors and with DLC already lined up, hopefully Quarter Up and Skybound Games can take notes from the community, deliver some surprises, and forge some longevity

REVIEW – “Kiln” is exactly how you’d expect a Double Fine multiplayer game to be in the best ways

by Chris Penwell | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 29 Apr 2026

Kiln is an enjoyable concept and game that’s filled with soul as you’d expect from Double Fine Productions, the creators of Psychonauts and Headlander, but it currently lacks in content, and hopefully this is something that turns around sooner than later.

REVIEW – “Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun” has throwback stealth tactics that still hit like it’s 1999

by Leigh Lamb | Nintendo Switch 2 Reviews | 0 Comments | 29 Apr 2026

Set in early Edo-period Japan, a new Shogun is trying to stabilize the country, and he’s dependent on a small team of specialists to help secure that stability by putting down rebellions, completing covert operations, and being all-around badasses that no one can know about. This is Shadow Tactics.
