House Of Necrosis is a Resident Evil Mystery Dungeon RPG in which you can accidentally level up the zombies

This 32-bit-style indie horror game looks like a Capcom homage but has plenty in common with Spike Chunsoft's dungeon RPGs.

Battlefield 6 hits the ground running with a multiplayer suite full of dazzling sandboxes just waiting to be leveled, but not every part of the package is as effective.

i could wade into all this but i'm exhausted to the bone from covering the current slate of games (+life stuff) and i shouldn't get petty. but like, we do this work, even though it wears us down and adds more onto our plates.

Outside of a few underbaked additions Supermassive has introduced, we'd welcome more variation to Little Nightmares III's formula. However, even if it offers more of the same, it’s hard not to smile whenever the adventure sends chills down your spine.

what they don't tell you about packing is that even though it's arduous and tiresome, there will eventually be unpacking. which is, also, arduous and tiresome.

We've been adding lots of polish and flourish with our extra time on Demonschool. This before and after video of maxing relationships should give you a good idea.

Before: A small kiss decal. That's all we had time for.

After: Full-on shoujo manga animatic.

man, i could not invent a more historically not-Destructoid take than "Someone Needs To Advocate For Electronic Arts"

i’m just ken @shepardcdr.bsky.social · 2d

very cool of destructoid to post this, and, lo and behold, if you ctrl+f "queer" or "lgbtqia+" you will find zero instances of it on the page.

"the deal could be good actually if you don't talk about any of the very real harm it could do."
