Midnight Moments is a cyberpunk diorama builder for the neon sign and drizzly rain lovers

I'm finding the relatively recent trend of supposedly calming diorama builders in games to be an interesting one in that there's a clear desire amongst creatively inclined folks to be crafting something in virtual environments, just not necessarily at scale. Just this week I wrote about Sandcastle, a literal sandbox game where you build sandcastles, and of course there's Tiny Glade too which good ole Christian Donlan loved. And now there's Midnight Moments, a cyberpunk diorama builder that has

Rideshare "Stimulator" is an Uber driver sim set in a city full of weirdos that I'm hoping is satirical enough to pull the concept off

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive clearly like to keep themselves busy, as today they've announced the next game that they're publishing. It's called Rideshare "Stimulator" (I should note those quotation marks are a part of the title), and it is essentially a game all about being an Uber driver for a city full of oddballs. Read more

Machine Party, out now, is masochistic Mario Party from the dev that brought you Buckshot Roulette

This is not a game about violence, yet it pulls it out from people nonetheless. So, how about something that leans into this violence, while still retaining the jovially competitive nature? Enter Machine Party, the latest from Buckshot Roulette developer Mike Klubnika, made alongside GDeavid, a party game "where failure is lethal." Rea

RuneScape: Dragonwilds revamps the agility skill and gives you Wipeout style courses to test your mettle on

Skills in RuneScape have always tickled me because of the sheer variety on display, and this extends to Dragonwilds too. There's magic, but then there's woodcutting. You've got prayer, and also fishing. And of course you've got runecrafting, or agility. It's that last one that's important for today's purposes, as a new update has arrived in Dragonwilds that revamp the skill, as well as add in some courses for you to pseudo-parkour across. Read more

Thimbleweed Park 2 is "not really a sequel, not really a prequel," but it is in development and due out in 2028

Hark! I bring word of some good news for those of you with an appetite for adventure games with tasty pixel art. You may remember that Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert was working on a game that was described as "Classic Zelda meets Diablo meets Thimbleweed Park." That got canned at the end of last year, unfortunately, but the spirit of Thimbleweed Park lives on. Literally! As Thimbleweed Park 2 is in the works. Read more
