Cody writes: The Binding of Isaac is nothing new to gamers. It’s a game that helped put roguelikes back on the map, paving the way for a slew of other procedurally generated games, like Spelunky and FTL: Faster Than Light. Because they’re so highly replayable, these games typically gain a hungry cult following, so when big updates and expansions come along–like Rebirth and now Afterbirth for The Binding of Isaac–there’s already a fanbase ready to jump back in and discover what’s new.
Indie games have been a massive influence in modern gaming, but do we still view them as lesser? We need to put more faith in them. Will Goad argues why we should do just that.
While we can't wait to get our hands on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake, these Nintendo Switch games may hold us over.
Bought Hollow Knight last week, 15 hours in and absolutely blown away by how good it is!
You might think the Switch is only for Mario and the gang but these 10 titles are terrifying, creepy, and downright unsettling when it comes to portable gaming.
