RPG Maker strikes again! King of Light is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This garbage high school anime club dropout fan-fiction RPG Maker asset flip is from China, features a plot about the developer's imaginary alter ego and his various waifu/imaginary girlfriends saving some imaginary empire. Needless to say, this is pure cringe. The only notable thing is that this features even more ghastly, cringey high school fan-fiction e-book writing than most, and barely any actual gameplay.

Prince Lorin emerges as a central figure in the conflict, commanding the Army of Light and attempting to restore order while confronting the rebel forces responsible for destabilizing the Empire. The premise establishes a traditional fantasy struggle for the throne while introducing themes of loyalty, conspiracy, …

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
