The Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – August 21, 2026

I’ve always heard The Sinking City described as a respectable but flawed survival-horror experience (though practically a must-play if you love H.P. Lovecraft).

Someone Found A Bottom To Splatoon Raiders’ Bottomless Buffet

Splatoon Raiders is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it as I said in my review last month, though a deluge of other games I’ve been stoked for have kept me from engaging much in its post-game content. Part of that post-game is something called the Bottomless Buffet, essentially an “endless” mode with a…

Minecraft Dungeons 2 reveals the secret new dimension lurking through its rifts

I’ll leap on any opportunity to talk about Minecraft Dungeons 2 – the first is an underrated action RPG with a surprisingly satisfying level of depth and buildcrafting, especially once you roll credits the first time.
