  • Civilization VII VR Review: A Claustrophobic Take On Bringing Strategy To VR & MR

    1 week ago | uploadvr.com | Jordan Oloman

    How do you justify porting a 4X strategy game to VR and mixed reality? Unfortunately, Civilization VII VR doesn’t offer any convincing answers. The eminence of this legendarily moreish series demands its appearance on all platforms with each new release, but the game’s existence in headset world is a strange novelty — and having played it, I'm not sure who it’s for.

  • Blue Prince is Riven for the Indie Roguelike Generation

    2 weeks ago | postmode.org | Jordan Oloman

    I wasn’t expecting to play forty hours of an indie game in less than five days, but then I got a review code for Blue Prince. This game, whose name is a double entendre, is about designing your way through a mysterious estate on a rigid 5 x 9 grid, one room at a time.

  • The Duskbloods looks like From Software's take on Hunt: Showdown

    3 weeks ago | postmode.org | Jordan Oloman

    The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct just dropped, and along with it a brand new From Software game, which is exclusive to the console and launching in 2026. Naturally, everybody thought that it was Bloodborne 2, but the truth is stranger still. The Duskbloods is an 8-player PvPvE experience with “online multiplayer at its core.” So, imagine Escape from Tarkov directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Don’t believe me? I don’t blame you, but it’s all there on the company website.

    4 weeks ago | greenmangaming.com | Jordan Oloman

    Real-time strategy fans will no doubt be familiar with the iconic Age of Empires series, where players tackle historical campaigns by managing resources and waging wars. The latest mainline entry, Age of Empires 4, is the first in 15 years and has been developed by Relic Entertainment and World’s Edge, with publishing support from Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios. After being announced in 2017, it was finally released on October 28th 2021.

  • ENA Dream BBQ Chapter 1 is an unmissable mixed media fever dream

    4 weeks ago | postmode.org | Jordan Oloman

    As of a few hours ago, I couldn’t tell you a single thing about ENA, the cult web series created by Peruvian animator Joel G. But now, it’s safe to say that I’m obsessed with it. I’m currently peeling through the backlog on YouTube to get deeper into the lore, and eyeing up the Fangamer-produced merch. How did we get here?
