Vampire Survivors is a pretty popular game; it even kicked off an entire genre. Same goes for Pokémon, which also kind of birthed its own genre. So, what happens when those two genres do a fusion dance, and you get to play the result? You get Wildkeepers Rising, of course, which is an absolute...

From Square-Enix’s legendary Final Fantasy VII through to Larian’s superlative Baldur’s Gate 3, the turn-based RPG genre has seen its fair share of heady, high-calibre offerings that have in turn (pun intended) redefined and elevated the concept of the humble turn-based RPG. The debut title...
The PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller is one of the most innovative gaming peripherals available today. With features like haptic feedback and dynamic adaptive triggers, it provides a deeply immersive gaming experience. While originally designed for the PS5, the DualSense controller is also...
Commanding a fiercely passionate player base, Killing Floor 2 remains to this day a superb example of how to craft a compelling, cooperative focused online shooter with depth to spare. With nearly a decade on the clock since the release of Killing Floor 2 and with the release of its sequel,...
Can you believe it’s April already? We’re struggling to wrap our heads around it too — somehow, March flew by, and here we are. But with a new month comes a fresh wave of indie games to get excited about, and you know we’re all about that here at Green Man Gaming.
