Sony has today announced the two new PS4 games that will be available throughout the month of May and it’s not too bad of a lineup. First off, the chaotic multiplayer cooking game Overcooked will be the first title available in the month. First released in 2016, Overcooked was well-received by almost everyone and later got a

For those who may have been undecided on Gone Home, the first-person interactive indie title that originally released back in 2013 for PC, now’s your chance to nab a copy of the game — for absolutely free. Humble Bundle is offering a DRM-free PC download of the title off their store from now until May
The offerings from Annapurna Interactive at PAX East 2019 couldn’t be any more different from one another, yet they all inspired similar emotions and feelings. Wattam, Outer Wilds, and Sayonara Wild Hearts each showed no shortage in creativity, all provoking intense curiosity of what these games have to offer further in. Wattam is a unique
After launching the critically-acclaimed Hyper Light Drifter back in 2016, developer Heart Machine has today revealed the studio’s newest project which is called Solar Ash Kingdom. In the reveal trailer released by IGN, Solar Ash Kingdom looks to be quite similar to that of Hyper Light Drifter, at least in terms of its color palette, music, and overall tone. The
Flower, the second title from famed developer thatgamecompany, is now available for PC on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $6.99. It was ten years ago on February 12, 2009 that Flower first debuted on the PlayStation 3. At that time the only previous thatgamecompany title was Flow, which released in 2006. Their
I played Ashen for the first time at E3 in 2017. Back then, in the Annapurna cubicle, I played a game that I thought would scratch that Souls itch I’ve had since I stopped playing Dark Souls 3. The demo featured a more reasonable co-op system than the game it was inspired by and also
Celebrated adventure game and “walking simulator” What Remains of Edith Finch is the next regular free offering from the Epic Games Store. The game from developer Giant Sparrow originally released in 2017 and was highly praised for its combined narrative and gameplay. The creator-focused Epic Games Store launched in December, offering 88 percent revenue to
To help kick off Winter of Arcade last week, A44 and Annapurna Interactive finally released their Souls-like game Ashen for PC and Xbox One. As with most new Xbox One titles, Ashen features some notable enhancements when played on an Xbox One X. In a new article posted on Xbox Wire today, Character & Animation Lead
Ben Esposito’s Donut County seems to have charmed everyone who played it on PS4, mobile, and PC, and now owners of other consoles will be able to enjoy it quite soon. Annapurna Interactive confirmed that the story-driven physics puzzle game will come to Xbox One during The Game Awards, but the company also confirmed a
The Fullbright Company truly made a name for itself with the release of Gone Home in 2013. The title, one that would inspire countless first-person experience (or “walking simulator”) games, hit at a rare point of the industry. Both genre-bending and offering a unique setting that hit close to home for the average PC gamer, it
If you’ve played Gone Home before, you’ve probably noticed many of the SNES cartridges scattered about the house that are meant to reflect the mid-90s time period in which the story takes place. Up until now, all of the games in question that you find are made-up titles but for the Switch release of Gone Home, that has
Alongside its release today, Donut County has received a new accompanying launch trailer and it’s just as strange as you’d imagine. This new 60-second video features one of the game’s main characters BK streaming himself playing through what is the opening level of Donut County. It also features voiceover work from who I am fairly positive is the
Since debuting a few years back, the action-RPG Ashen has been a fixture of the indie titles on the horizon for both Xbox One and PC owners with its challenging combat and striking world, and now new gameplay footage has been revealed giving us a clearer picture of what to expect from the haunting journey that
As much as I enjoy games with complex systems, sprawling open worlds, and stories that last for over 100 hours, now and then I’m just looking for something more bite-sized to sit down and spend some time with. Something that isn’t so daunting. Donut County is the newest game to scratch this itch for me and has
Last week, Annapurna Interactive surprised and excited tons of fans when they announced that they would be creating a port of The Fullbright Company’s critically acclaimed game Gone Home and that it would be hitting on August 23, 2018. Unfortunately, it seems like that’s no longer the case, as the publisher has revealed that the port has
Five years ago today, Gone Home was released on PC by the then-fledgling indie developer The Fullbright Company. It took the gaming scene by storm, receiving great reviews from critics and helping trailblaze the somewhat divisive adventure game niche of “walking simulators.” To celebrate this anniversary, The Fullbright Company and Annapurna Interactive have partnered to announce that
In Donut County, you play as a raccoon named BK, a new hire at a startup that uses remote-controlled holes to steal people’s trash – along with everything else. When BK falls into a hole himself, he must answer to his best friend Mira and the residents of Donut County who are now stuck 999
I saw a bunch of cool games at PAX East, but most of them didn’t match up regarding both quality and intrigue when compared to what I saw from publisher Annapurna Interactive. Since being established in 2016, Annapurna has quickly built itself a phenomenal portfolio of games that include gems such as What Remains of Edith
When I think back on love — specifically first love — there are a ton of complicated emotions that crop up: happiness, fear, uncertainty, awkwardness, and that old cliche of getting “butterflies in your stomach.” It’s appropriate that love conjures up so many of those feelings (especially when I think back on my own experiences),
Annapurna Interactive announced plans to publish Outer Wilds, an open world mystery game for PC and to-be-announced platforms in 2018. Developed by Mobius Digital, Outer Wilds is set in space where the solar system is trapped in an endless time loop. The game is played in first-person with simulation systems and rewards for players who go off the
Coming from the lead designer of Monument Valley, Ken Wong, the upcoming indie game Florence will bring players into the world of a young woman as she experiences the ups and downs of love and luckily, the game’s release date happens to coincide with its theme perfectly. Developer Mountains has announced that Florence — which is the studio’s
During the pre-PlayStation Experience keynote from Anaheim, California, Annapurna Interactive’s upcoming title Donut County was revealed to be coming to PS4 next year. If you haven’t heard about Donut County before, then don’t worry, as you’re probably not alone. As the new trailer that was unveiled during PSX shows, essentially you play as hole. Exciting, right? Your goal as
Mobile games have taken on a reputation in recent years of being based around the idea of free-to-play titles and microtransactions, but the mobile platform also has provided many eye-opening and charming interactive experiences to enjoy, with one of these coming next year from the designer of Monument Valley, called Florence. Publisher Annapurna Interactive has announced the
Donut County is the next project by one-man independent developer Ben Esposito, who has previously worked as a level designer and consultant for What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan. Esposito’s game was originally revealed three years ago, and it has since resurfaced under publisher Annapurna Interactive. At PAX 2017, we took a journey into Donut County‘s
Gorogoa is a puzzle game currently in development by Buried Signal, a studio started by artist Jason Roberts. Although it is expected to release on iOS devices eventually, it will first release on PC this year. While at PAX West 2017, we got a chance to demo the PC version of the game, and it
It’s been roughly two years since we have heard anything about Wattam, the new game from Keita Takahashi, the creator of Katamari Damacy. But now that has changed, as developer Funomena and newly on-board publisher Annapurna Interactive have re-revealed the title. Still boasting the same name, Wattam will no longer be a PS4 exclusive title published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, like
A little over three years ago, lone-wolf developer Ben Esposito — who has previously worked as a level designer on What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan — revealed Donut County with a “reveal trailer.” What was shown garnered considerable attention for its charming visuals and novel gameplay premise. Now three year laters, a second trailer has been released
