Earth Defense Force spin-off games have been hit or miss. EDF: Insect Armageddon wasn’t much of a game, and EDF: Iron Rain was too tough for its own good. EDF: World Brothers, however, struck the right balance between new ideas and classic EDF gameplay – not to mention adding the fun of crossover characters and enemies from EDFs past. T...]]>
Back in 2016, Overcooked! emerged as a cooperative multiplayer-focused game in which players work together to create and serve food. Since then, several developers have adapted the Overcooked! formula to different professions. Manic Mechanics from 4J Studios (developer of Minecraft: Console Edition) is one such game that ditches the cooking schtick...
Manic Mechanics takes place on an island that specializes in car repairs. Players will drive around the island's five unlockable areas on go karts, searching for collectibles and interactive elements, and stopping to play a variety of increasingly hectic and creative levels.
Here's the official description of World Brothers 2:
The Overcooked formula has been adopted by numerous developers in the last few years, usually leading to fun games based on different professions (see: Lumberhill). Now 4J Studios (the Scottish developer that ported Minecraft to consoles) has its own take on the genre with the car mechanic-themed, Switch-exclusive Manic Mechanics. Featuring ea...
Scarlet Moon Halloween Volume I features the following songs:
Industry Games describes Dungeons of Sundaria as already complete; the early access period is intended to test and optimize the PC version. Steam reviews are quite positive at present, so the testing seems to be going well. That said, Industry Games plans to add four more dungeons (doubling the length of the game) and two additional playable races later this year.
First, here's an official description of Splatoon 3:
Monster Hunter fans have been waiting for new content for Rise pretty much ever since its release last year and now they've finally got it. The big highlights of Sunbreak are the new/returning monsters to hunt in new areas along with a new hub zone and new story missions. The expansion also includes some new Switch Skills and Silkbind Attacks for each of the 14 weapons, the ability to change your Switch Skills on the fly during a hunt, and Master-rank quests for those seeking further challenges.
All three of us went pretty hard into the PlayStation 4 version of Monster Hunter World, but then fell off before Iceborne came off and - with the exception of Locke - didn't make the switch to PC. Mike has put a little bit of time into Rise on the Switch, but with the impending release of the game on the PC and the expansion - Sunbreak - due out sometime Summer 2022, this seemed like a great time to hop in and check out how the game fares on the PC. So far, it seems like it's a pretty straightforward port of the Switch version with some higher res textures and 4k support; which is probably all that's needed.

The update that fixed the Steam region-locking issue in World Brothers actually appeared a few days ago, but we only just had the opportunity to test it. Before, my Malaysian co-op buddy couldn't see online games hosted in the US. I could still directly invite him to a game, but the region-locking was a killer for matchmaking in general. If random people can't see your online lobby, they can't join it, after all. After the update, my international friend can simply browse the lobbies and find my game without having to wait for an invite. Random players do join our games more frequently as well.
Earth Defense Force games have traditionally been M-rated affairs, if only because the giant insect and frog enemies spray lots of goopy blood when shot. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the new spin-off game from Yuke’s and D3 Publisher, is a more family-friendly entry that trades in low-budget but realistic visuals for colorful and bloc...
