When Warside debuted on Steam back in April, I blazed through the campaign and had a great time doing it. Little did I know, however, that the turn-based strategy game was too easy.

This update is one of several that will happen on the way to co-op support being added in the future.

Geolocation games (also known as location-based games) are mobile games that incorporate changes in the player's real-world location into the gameplay.

It allows up to three players to team up to battle monsters and complete quests together, even if they're not located in the same area.

Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is a unique Bubble Bobble sequel that got a modern console release last year.

Back in the memorable year of 1995, a French developer called Arcade Zone toiled away on a Super Nintendo game called Nightmare Busters. Sadly, the arrival of the PlayStation led to the game's cancelation. It is now 100 years later, and that injustice is finally being corrected.

Before River City Girls became a smash hit, Shantae was WayForward's most popular game series. These games star Shantae, a half-genie hero who can cast spells and transform into animals as she battles pirates and monsters. The most recent game, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, was quite good. There is a Shantae that players have never gotten to try before: Shantae Advance:  Risky Revolution, a game that was canceled in 2004. 21 years later, WayForward is finally releasing Risky Revolution and on consoles and Steam this summer.

Journey to the Savage Planet is a co-op cult hit that arrived way back in 2021. It features a colorful alien world to explore and plenty of crass humor.

It picks up where the first game left off, introduces new planets, and brings back its predecessor's much loved 2-player split-screen and online co-op support.
