Umbrella is an easy to teach, easy to play game that is really nice as a filler on board…

Concord, Firewalk Studios’ debut title on the PS5, is a hero-based shooter that offers a unique blend of character-driven gameplay and intense action. While it shows promise, it’s still navigating the competitive landscape and could benefit from a few refinements. The Good: Distinct Characters: Each character brings a unique playstyle to the table, ensuring variety and strategic depth. Engaging Story: The narrative, though still unfolding, offers a compelling backdrop for the action. Visually Appealing: The game’s graphics are impressive, ...

Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase was shown today. Check it out below! The Indie World Showcase seemed alright (though I am so excited for the Sea of Stars free DLC) but the best part was the Partner Showcase.

My Sims Cozy Bundle will include the original My Sims along with My Sims Kingdom. The collection will come out on November 19th, 2024. I really liked the original My Sims on Wii.

A demo of Epic Mickey Rebrushed is available today! A demo of Epic Mickey Rebrushed is available today on the Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox Series. I downloaded the demo and have played it a little bit. The graphics look better than ever and the gameplay is really good so far. I like having control over the camera and not having to worry about motion controls. I haven’t finished the demo yet but will try to write more about the game…

The final part of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s paid DLC has arrived. I’ve played it and now I have some thoughts. Is this the perfect ending to the DLC? The final update for Disney Dreamlight Valley’s A Rift in Time DLC came out last week. I played it and finished it. Now I have some thoughts! In the final update, Jafar is causing trouble again. You have to save the island by helping out multiple characters close rifts that have opened…

Cooperative games are on the rise right now, and with the continued success of Star Wars shows on Disney+, it makes sense that there would be a cooperative Star Wars experience for board game fans to sink their teeth into. Not surprisingly, the choice to headline that cooperation was The Mandalorian, one of the most popular original shows on Disney+, and many people’s favorite piece of Star Wars work.
