I Can't Wait To Be A Smuggling Cartographer Worm-Riding Mind Reader In Dune Awakening

1 week ago | thegamer.com | Harry Alston

This is about four or five times larger than any worm you encounter in the Hagga Basin and other starting zones. That’s a proper Shai-Halud. It’s so big that I think pretty much anything caught in the middle of its mouth is guaranteed worm food. The sheer scale of it has me excited for these massive PvP events, with up to 300 players on a single Deep Desert server, connected to potentially over 15+ individual Hagga Basin servers.
2025 Has Been The Year Of The Double-A And Indie Games So Far

The success of games like Balatro and Schedule 1 over the last few years also demonstrates that the solo dev angle can work if you’ve got the right concept for a game. Solo devs have always made great games (I don’t need to reel off any other games than Minecraft and Stardew Valley to prove that point), but it’s fantastic to see more and more of these games making such an impact on the industry.
Rematch: 10 Beginner Tips

1 week ago | thegamer.com | Harry Alston

Rematch is the hottest new football game on the market, with innovative gameplay that echoes Rocket League - but with actual footballers. This isn't an easy game to learn, and it's definitely not an easy game to learn on your own. The controls in particular can be a bit tricky, especially learning the difference between aiming passes with the stick and shooting with the camera.
Rematch: 10 Beginner Tips

21 hours agoWhat if you could triple the value of your business, without working longer hours, hiring a massive team, or waiting around for the “right” buyer? It’s not some daydream, but a formula. And it starts now, not later. Over the years, I’ve watched small business owners increase their business’s value …

Clans Tier List For Monster Train 2

1 week ago | thegamer.com | Harry Alston

Monster Train 2 introduces six new clans compared to the first game: the Banished, the Pyreborne, the Luna Coven, the Underlegion, and the Lazarus League. With the addition of these six new clans, there are actually 180 possible combinations. Defeating the game on Covenant 10 difficulty with all 180 combinations is obviously the most difficult achievement to get.

Turns Out The Best Way To Play Terraria Right Now Is In Minecraft

1 week ago | thegamer.com | Harry Alston

Don’t worry too much about the scary headline. Terraria is still a fantastic game. But a brand-new mod, known as Confluence: Overworld, integrates Terraria seamlessly into Minecraft. Terrariacraft already did this a few years back, but rather than a total overhaul of the game we know and love, Confluence instead combines the two. There are still Minecraft mobs and progression, albeit with extra boss fights, exploration, and accessories.
Anno 117 Preview - The Pax Romana, Peace In Rome

2 weeks ago | thegamer.com | Harry Alston

Ubisoft’s Anno 117 is a peaceful experience. During my entire three-hour hands-on preview, I didn’t train a single unit or do much more than sink an already-wrecked ship off the coast of my island. My demoist did say military mechanics hadn’t been properly implemented yet, but even so, that you could largely choose to play Anno 117 as a peaceful Roman city-builder is something quite special.
Project Zomboid's Hardest Challenge Is An Absolute Nightmare

3 weeks ago | thegamer.com | Harry Alston

Project Zomboid, in my humble opinion, takes the crown as the best survival game ever made. My longest-living character, Tamara Bailey, survived for 376 days, before falling from a rooftop as I was building a garden on top of my fire station base. She didn’t deserve to perish like that, but Project Zomboid is a game that tells the story of how you die. Something will get you, eventually, whether that be a zombie bite or clumsy accident.
