Slay the Spire gets the best Christmas present a deckbuilder could ask for: a new all-time concurrent player peak on Steam nearly 7 years after release

by admin | Dec 27, 2025 | Video Games

Slay the Spire certainly turned heads when it released, immediately cementing itself as one of the best deckbuilders in town and helping to kick off a trend that persists today. That was nearly seven years ago at this point, but the game is turning even more heads...

Peak devs were ready to go ‘into vacation mode’ after releasing it, but then it sold 1M copies in the first week: ‘That quickly became a pipe dream’

by admin | Dec 26, 2025 | Video Games

One of 2025’s surprise hits was Peak, a co-op climbing game that was created in a mere four months by studios Aggro Crab and Landfall. It caught fire on Twitch and in every friend group hooked on so-called “friendslop” since 2023’s Lethal...

by admin | Dec 25, 2025 | Video Games

Hollow Knight: Silksong player discovers Hornet’s taunt does damage, proceeds to spend hours trying to beat every boss with it: ‘This is like watching Sisyphus push the boulder and win’

by admin | Dec 23, 2025 | Video Games

I was about halfway through Hollow Knight: Silksong before I realized it even had a taunt button. Press it and Hornet will widen her stance and yell “Garama!” to call enemies toward her. It can be surprisingly useful if you need to bring an enemy close...

I played dozens of retro games this year, and these are the ones I still whole-heartedly recommend going into 2026

by admin | Dec 22, 2025 | Video Games

One of my favourite things about PCs is that “old” is relative, really. Generations don’t exist in any meaningful capacity. Steam and GOG sell everything from shiny new blockbusters to ancient relics, meaning the same hardware I use to power...
