Bloodthief Review
A slide I could not afford became the whole evening, which is why I sat down again. Bloodthief keeps a first-person vampire in haunted crypts and castles, drinking the undead so the next wall-run still has a chance, and I never stopped spending the blood at the top of the screen on the next slide. Blargis developed and published the PC version that arrived on September 22, 2025. The Vial I Missed ...[Read More]
Mars First Logistics Review
I stayed because the watering can, large enough to serve a greenhouse that was still a frame on the dirt, still sat crooked on a chassis I had bolted together that same hour. The ridge I had trusted put the rover on its roof, and the glowing pad was still empty while I crawled back to the workshop. I kept opening Shape Shop’s rover workshop on a procedural red planet for that second grip rat...[Read More]
Folly Of The Wizards Review
I sat down again because the shop after I spoke was not the shop after I grunted. Folly Of The Wizards keeps a clumsy apprentice on PlayStation 5, climbing a cult tower while a demon invasion waits at the top, and the sitting I wanted was that stall. UpFox Labs developed it, Numskull Games published it, and I played the PS5 version that arrived on September 19, 2025. Larn’s Counter After I A...[Read More]
Katanaut Review
Naut’s katana finished its arc after the thing in the service hall had already committed. Katanaut keeps a cybernetic cleanup specialist on a collapsing station with a blade, a sidearm, and a job that had already failed before Naut walked in, and I kept loading for that bill. Voidmaw developed it, Acclaim published it, and I played the PC version that arrived on September 10, 2025. The Swing...[Read More]
Wander Stars Review
There is a particular pleasure, rare in a medium that usually asks you to pick an attack from a list, in shouting a sentence at a rival and watching the sentence become a fist. SUPER. FIRE. KICK. The words land like title cards. The kick follows a beat later, as if the universe needed a moment to typeset the violence. Wander Stars, the Super! Anime! Turn-Based! RPG from Paper Castle Games and Fell...[Read More]
Fling to the Finish Review
There is a moment, about four minutes into your first race, when you realize the other person is not a teammate so much as a weather system. They lean left. You lean right. The elastic between you stores that disagreement like a grudge, then spends it all at once. One of you is suddenly airborne. The other is face first in a hazard you both saw coming. Fling to the Finish, the co-op racer from Spl...[Read More]
ZOE Begone! Review
Zoe is a triangle. That sentence should not work as a pitch, and yet it is the most honest way into ZOE Begone!, the debut from Glasgow animator Graeme Hawkins and his one-person studio Retchy Games. She is a little wedge of a heroine with one modest wish, peace and quiet, and one catastrophic problem. Someone just off the edge of the frame, the Animator, keeps drawing her world back into chaos. E...[Read More]
Prop Haunt Review
There is a particular kind of dread that only arrives when a chair slides three inches to the left and nobody in the room will admit they did it. Prop Haunt, the budget 4v1 horror game from Raleigh indie Silent Forest Games, is built entirely on that feeling. It is not a hunt through a cursed manor with a flashlight and a prayer. It is a night spent watching everyday objects misbehave, while four ...[Read More]
Fortnite Override Drops Thursday With Sonic, Sora, and a Whole Arcade
Fortnite: Override lands Thursday, August 20, 2026, and the official trailer does not bother with a slow tease. Chapter 7 Season 4 is an arcade season in the literal sense. Epic is dropping a cabinet’s worth of newcomers onto the Island at once, then asking you to override the system, take back that Island, and stop Geno before it is game over. That line is straight from the official Fortnit...[Read More]
The Blood of Dawnwalker Explains Itself Before September 3
The Blood of Dawnwalker, Rebel Wolves’ first game, lands September 3 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Bandai Namco. Ahead of that, the studio posted a six-minute feature on the official Dawnwalker channel called Everything You Need to Know, and for once the title is accurate: it covers the day and night split, a 30-day calendar that actually spends, and combat that can eithe...[Read More]

Super Mario Sunshine is live in Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo of America’s what’s-new post is dated August 13. You need a Switch 2 and an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. I opened nintendo.com/us/online. Individual Expansion Pack is $49.99 a year.

Gears of War: E-Day Gets a Limited Xbox Controller, and a Playable Campaign at Gamescom
The Gears of War: E-Day Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller went up for pre-order on August 12 at participating retailers worldwide, including Xbox.com and Microsoft Store. It is $89.99. I checked Xbox’s own post. That dollar figure is printed in USD, not a conversion I ran through a currency widget. The game itself still launches October 6, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, cloud, X...[Read More]
