Oh man I'm so sorry to hear. :( But those are some really nice studios to move on to. Best of luck Korina!

are you looking for a stylish turn-based RPG that won't take up 80 hours of your time?

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ may we recommend Dosa Divas coming April 14?

I'm done with it and definately feel like I should have taken more my time like you say. Sometimes, it's just cool to explore and go DOWN instead of up!

It's such a great experience! Played with my partner too. It was so fun!

Cairn embargo is up and I am so pleased to say the game is a triumph. Gorgeous, nerve-wracking, and I don't think I've ever heard a vocal performance like the one given by the protagonist. Just a coiled spring of determination and anger. Remarkable.

The moment I started playing a demo for Cairn a year and half ago I knew this would be a special game. I've yet to reach its peak, but it really lives up to expectations. I've never felt so physically tense playing a game. πŸ§— AND it's probably why I started climbing again so props to Cairn.

Cairn would mean nothing without the journey, and like both the mountain you are challenging and the climb itself, it is an incredible one.

What are you most excited for? Climbing anywhere? The challenge? Adventure? The sweeping story? The beauty of the Mountain?

Whatever you’re waiting for, our climbing game Cairn is here, TOMORROW!

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again!
This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasonsβ™₯️

The A.V. Club's best games of 2025 Unsurprisingly, the best games of 2025 came from the fringes of the industry. Here's what The A.V. Club's games critics loved the most this year.

I fully missed this went up, but hey, I wrote a blurb about why Despelote is one of the best games this year for @theavclubgames.bsky.social!
