Occlude is a “Lynchian horror” cardgame for weird solitaire fans and the “terminally curious” From the makers of King Of The Castle Image credit:Pantaloon A few years ago I found an old hardback tome of Solitaire rulesets on a garden wall. It was a bright, unambiguously pleasant day and I remember thinking ‘oh, that’s the wotsit that inspired those regency thingamajigs ‘. So I took it home and tried my hand at a few variations, then forgot about the book entirely....

Officially licenced Like a Dragon spin-offs made by Roblox creators may be coming, and will have to stick to the karaoke lad lore As part of a new licensing initiative being launched by the execs of bloxland Image credit:RGG Studio We clearly don’t get enough Like a Dragon/Yakuza series spin-offs. Forget about the fact RGG unleashed a Goro Majima pirate adventure a matter of months ago, I need Tojo Clan tales 24/7 and 365 days a year....

Overwatchy FPS Concord gets new trailer and August PC release date with a beta in July Freegunner keep an eye on it? Image credit:PlayStation Sony have dropped a trailer and release date for Concord at their latest State Of Play , Concord being a new 5V5 multiplayer FPS in which you play a bunch of freegans carrying out heists on various loudly coloured alien planets. Sorry, not freegans - freegunners. Freeganism is a portmanteau of “free” and “vegan” referring to people who fish jars of near-spoiled hummus out of supermarket dumpsters according to an ideology of minimal resource consumption....

Palestine Skating Game takes Jet Set Radio’s rollerblades and spray paint to soldier-filled streets and towering concrete walls Railgrinds and rifles Image credit:Palestine Skating Game team I only have to skate a few meters before the piercing drum of rifle fire fills my ears. Armed with my trusty can of spray paint, I cover the hostile soldiers in splotches of bright colour while rollerblading circles around them. They stumble about, trying to keep me in their sights....

Pepper Grinder’s Steam Next Fest demo is 15 minutes of pure joy You know the drill Image credit:Devolver Digital Steam Next Fest doesn’t officially start until next Monday, February 5th, but what the heck, everyone’s putting their demos live early this year, it seems, and another one that’s just popped the cork ahead of time is Pepper Grinder , the excellent-looking pixel platformer where you’re burrowing through bedrock with a heckin’ great drill in your hands as you attempt to steal back your treasure from some pesky pirates....

Persona 3 Reload is a seamless transition for Persona 5-likers And takes a lot of learnings from it, too Image credit:Atlus/Sega Having spent what feels like an entire lifetime in JRPG Persona 5 Royal , going back to the original Persona 3 is pretty jarring. It’s unsurprising given it came out 18 years ago, but exploration is more akin to a slideshow and dungeon-running to a well-rehearsed routine. But with an hour of Persona 3 Reload under my belt, P3’s remake felt immediately familiar....

Piece together a jigsaw of city streets in this browser-based daily puzzle game Scrambled Maps scrambles maps Image credit:TripGeo I miss the height of Wordle mania not because of the game itself, which I still play on occasion, but because of the torrent of delightful, experimental browser-based puzzle games that followed in its wake. Worldle, Octordle, Moviedle, Waffle, Who Are Ya?, Cloudle and many, many more were a gold rush of bandwagon jumpers I was fully onboard with....

PowerWash Sim’s Warhammer 40K DLC is out now, and good enough to make you like Warhammer 40K The Imperium is indeed glorious, and reasonably priced Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Square Enix By this headline, I really don’t mean that Warhammer 40k is rubbish. But if you have no idea what it is apart from “thing Henry Cavill got made fun of for enjoying on the Graham Norton Show” or “reason I walk past a bunch of beardy lads taking a vape break outside a small shop with steamed up windows every time I go down Lower Glanmire Road”, PowerWash Simulator ’s latest officially licensed IP tie-in DLC could act like a sort of gateway drug....

R.I.P Total War: Warhammer’s arse ladders (2016-2025) The Siege Proving Ground rework launches next week Image credit:Frodo45127/“Assladders Begone!!!” “When our fathers stood against the Persians,” spake Greek statesman and general Pericles, “they had no such resources as we have now”. Time, of course, muddies the clear waters of specifics, but I’m basically sure he was talking about the ability for each of his men to keep a thirty foot ladder snuggled safely away in their rectal passage just in case they encountered any massive walls....

From now on, you are only allowed to remember him as the purveyor of Dragon Quest -flavoured perpetual motion machines that satirise bureaucracy and precarity....
