Send in the Clown is a turn-based RPG comedy about fighting one annoying child at a birthday party where there's only one fight in the whole game

I generally find it quite frustrating how limited the medium of games insists on being when it comes to engaging in a wide breadth of genres. One particular genre that its filmmaking cousin frequently utilises but is rarely seen within games is comedy. Sure, occasionally a game makes an attempt at telling a joke within a cutscene (failing more often than not (comedy's hard!)), but rarely is it a genre mechanically. So I'm quite pleased to learn of Send in the Clown, a turn-based RPG where you

Escher's Dream is a Portal 2 mod inspired by the non-euclidian works of the classic artist that will leave you feeling only a little bit nauseated

You know, given the ubiquity of his work, I'm surprised there aren't more M. C. Escher inspired games in this world There are a few, like Monument Valley, Manifold Garden and Superliminal, amongst a handful of others, you just don't find them all that often in spite of how striking a sense of space is found in Escher's work.

Echoes of Delicious in Dungeon ring out in Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op dungeon crawler about making meals with whatever you can scrounge up that's out now

I would really like it if someone made a Delicious in Dungeon game. It doesn't have to be official, it can be legally distinct! I've been asking for over two years now! I imagine I'll have to keep waiting, but luckily for me, a new game is out today which certainly feels reminiscent of the delightful (and morbid) anime, while still going for its own thing: Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op dungeon crawler about making do with the ingredients you find that has a dash of Metroidvania elements.

Coming soon to Invincible VS, it's your copyright-friendly neighbourhood Agent Spider

Spider-Man might be one of the most parodied characters of all time, simply due to also being one of the most well-known characters of anything, well, ever. Everyone knows who Spider-Man is. Invincible VS' latest trailer plays into this cleverly, with the reveal of Agent Spider as an upcoming DLC character making frequent allusions to his Marvel counterpart. Read more

Ratocalypse might sound like a low-budget horror flick, but it's actually a neat looking Fire Emblem adjacent strategy auto battler

What do you think when you hear the name "Ratocalypse"? To me it sounds like one of those so bad they're good horror flicks like Sharknado, and now I kind of want this film to exist. Alas, instead of what I said, it's actually a quite neat sounding, Fire Emblem adjacent, strategy RPG auto battler about anthropomorphic medieval rats who've been subjected to a zombie plague.
