There's no gen AI in Forbidden Solitaire either.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Backseat Champions has a pretty clever idea, bringing the worlds of auto-battlers and roguelites to racing games with you managing an AI driver.

Reasons we don't do review scores #13654
A so called 6/10 could be more appealing than a genuine 9/10 warts and all.
So we prefer to just chat about our experience with each game without the need for a number.

One thing I'm so proud of with regards to MHG (and before that Gamestyle) is that we never had or will ever have advertising.
We do get code to cover, but everything is purely our own opinions.

Worth it for the exchange feature alone. Picked up some games I'm missing and earned credits in the rest I can use if a bundle comes with only a single game I might not own.

Or what if Advance Wars with aliens! I very well made turn-based tactics that shares much of the DNA of AW. Whilst it lacks some of the quality of that, it is a very viable option that is worth your time.

Interesting metroidvania meets base builder, that draws you in and has some neat ideas. Exploring the world is a joy. As it's the progression and unlocks. With plenty to discover along the way.
Well worth a buy.

Those alongside my Steam Deck and I'll be a happy bunny. Just need to win a small lottery

With GTA VI slipping, I hope other developers don't rush to fill the void, because rushed messes won't help.
I'd rather see games that were aiming for Q1 2026 take an extra couple of months if needed.

Due to hand back my current motorbility car next September. Tempted to start a GoFundMe so I can afford the deposit in the fanciest SUV possible just to piss off the morons.
It'll still be whatever is in budget like, as can't afford to top up my PIP payments towards it.
