Spoilers for Myst, The Talos Principle, and Soma below I must have been nine or ten the first time I played Myst. My dad had just purchased a new computer (complete with a top-of-the-line 4X CD-ROM drive!), and at the time, Myst was the hotness. Full motion video, breathtaking graphics, …

The Witness (opens in new tab), designed by Braid creator Jonathan Blow, is purposefully minimalist – there are no fancy cutscenes, no narrator spelling everything out, and no enemies to fight. In other words, if you want to find out what’s happening on this solitary island full of 677 puzzles …

The Banner Saga’s journey to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has been an appropriately long one. Much as the Nordic warriors in its story must march endlessly towards an uncertain future, the console version of the game has been traveling to us over two years. Now it’s finally here. Stoic’s …

In case you missed it, Far Cry Primal (opens in new tab) is trying something a bit different this year: ditching the modern setting for a caveman-based adventure.

Yoshi’s Woolly World is cute. Everything about the game is designed to make players coo “Aww” as they bounce through the 50ish joyful stages on their way to the conclusion. The way Yoshi shouts “Bum” as he gobbles up an enemy and poops them out as a ball of yarn? …

This year’s PlayStation Store PLAY promotion is all about the PS4 indies. North American PlayStation Plus members who pre-order any of the four new/newly ported games will get better deals, and everybody who buys two or more of the featured titles will get a general 10-percent discount code in September. …

Years of wishy-washy comments on The Last Guardian (opens in new tab) came to a close last week when Sony finally confirmed the game’s active development, now destined for PlayStation 4. We even got a moment during the E3 2015 (opens in new tab) press conference to acknowledge youthful designer …
