For the longest time, the third-person co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has had its very own chicken walkers. A term that fans have used for years to describe Star Wars’ AT-ST units, “chicken walkers” refers to the legs on these bipedal robots—which look quite weak and like they could be taken out easily—as well as the way in which they walk. Helldivers 2’s chicken walkers (officially known as Scout Striders) have typically been pushovers befitting of the name, but with the Escalation of Freedom update, they’ve gotten a fresh new upgrade that makes ‘em bigger threats. – Moises Taveras Read More

Back in 2012, Remedy put out Alan Wake, a pulpy third-person shooter about a troubled author literally battling the forces of darkness, as well as his own demons, with a flashlight and a gun. It didn’t light the world on fire, but over the years, it did become a bit of a cult classic, and now it’s widely regarded as this loving ode to a seemingly bygone era of strange games from massive teams. Nearly a dozen years later, Alan Wake finally received a critically acclaimed sequel, and it’s now the lynchpin to a connected universe of titles from its developer, sometimes called the Remedyverse. So if you want to jump in on one of the strangest and most exciting stories in games at the moment, why not start at the beginning? – Moises Taveras Read More
Pick Up Bloodborne, The Best Game Ever, On Sale This Month

The more I sit with it, the more confident I am that Bloodborne may actually be my favorite game of all time. It’s got some stiff competition, but my mind just comes back to FromSoftware’s deeply gothic (and maternal) nightmare more often than it does anything else. It’s also one of the studio’s most accessible games and—in keeping with that sentiment—the first one that I ever finished. It’s a game I’ve shared with loved ones, and the guy who helped me beat it the first time around is now my roommate all these years later. I love that I share Bloodborne with so many people in my life, and now I’m sharing it with you all because it’s on sale. – Moises Taveras Read More

Final Fantasy VII Remake is probably one of the boldest left turns in modern games. I won’t get into exactly why, as I still believe in trying to maintain the experience of playing it and seeing it for yourself, but you just have to believe me when I say that the remake of one of the most legendary RPGs simply needs to be seen for oneself, and now you can at a pretty affordable price. – Moises Taveras Read More
Get This Diabolical And Hilarious Cult Game On Sale ASAP
![](https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/q_80,w_800/d2ab75a54eee7be2dcbdc334f4642d98.jpg)
Back in 2022, one of the most unexpectedly big games of the year was a cute little cult simulator. Cult of the Lamb, developed by Massive Monster and published by Devolver Digital, made a huge splash when it launched two summers ago and spoke to all the little freaks and deviants out there. Its hybrid of Animal Crossing-style daily tasks, recruitment, and relationship maintenance as well as Hades’ roguelike design and fast-paced combat made for a compelling venture into the heart of evil. As it celebrates its second anniversary, you can get it and all of the DLC that’s come out since launch for especially cheap. – Moises Taveras Read More

It’s been a great year for indie games. While the first two-thirds of the year in AAA were dominated by RPGs and Helldivers 2, 2024 in indies has been a great excuse to get weird. We’ve seen legally distinct militarized Pokémon, a roguelite road trip through haunted Oregon, the most addictive card game on planet Earth, a cheerful undersea adventure that’s quietly the most climatepunk game in years, an old-school city builder, the revival of Stardew Valley, and whatever the hell you’d call Animal Well. – Thomas Wilde Read More
