Woodo is an adorable hidden object puzzler that tells the story of a little fox’s unforgettable summer through gorgeous dioramas. What are video games for? The most common answer would be as a distraction to help us cope with the stresses of daily life. A variant of it would be to blow off some steam. These are valid responses, yet I find myself inclined to find a deeper meaning. As any other art form, the convergence of its disciplines is what elevates them. They could pull you out of a rut. Or remind you of a memory that you thought…

Guild Wars 2 has just released its latest update, Code Of Creation, giving an exciting conclusion to its Visions of Eternity expansion. Here is our preview. For a massively multiplayer online game to stay strong 14 years into its launch, Guild Wars 2 sure must be doing something right. This is in no small part because ArenaNet listens to feedback religiously, learning from their mistakes in the process and giving players what they want without sacrificing creative freedom. This whole concept comes to a head with its latest update, Code of Creation. Part of the Visions of Eternity expansion, this…

An opinion piece by AndresPlays in which he argues it does not matter how many games come out in a year, as long as you find something you truly enjoy. There is an ongoing sentiment that I simply cannot abide by. “Too many games” is something you hear often. What a timely blog to write on in September 2026. It is FOMO repackaged, and I just cannot wrap my head around it. Sure, as a games reviewer and someone who has written up to 5 reviews in one week (I don’t recommend it), I can see why I would want…

Knights of Fiona is a new JRPG-inspired adventure game that easily earns its place as an exciting fantasy in VR. When virtual reality first originated, it felt like a new technology full of untapped potential. To this day, there are new experiences that are only available on a headset. It is a mix between the immersion, the physical movement, and the player’s full attention. Using nimble goggles means not being distracted by your phone every five minutes there is a cutscene. It is a pleasant surprise, then, that Knights of Fiona has arrived on the scene to satiate the JRPG…

Dubbed Code of Creation, the final major update for the Guild Wars 2 expansion Visions of Eternity comes next Tuesday, September 15. The latest expansion for Guild Wars 2 called Visions of Eternity is coming to an explosive finale with its last update, Code of Creation. Revealed next to an exciting launch trailer that shows a new explorable map, weapons, and, of course, the conclusion to the narrative, it fits the bill for what’s expected of a final act. Players can get their hands on this riveting content update next Tuesday, September 15. Code of Creation completes the story that…

Cat Me If You Can is a relaxing photography adventure that has you taking pictures of hidden felines in a black-and-white world. Did you know that some people think cats are divine beings? You probably did. Then again, it is not a mystery as to why we humans trip over ourselves to basically dedicate our lives to our furry masters. Their idiosyncrasies are well documented, but seeing them in action is amusing all the same. They will deliberately throw to the floor every cup, glass, and item of value on a kitchen table. They will make biscuits on our bodies.…

Isle of Reveries is a game that may look like another Zelda-like, but intentional dungeon design and a story with heart and humor elevate it to so much more than that. There is an experiment I have been thinking of for quite some time now. Let’s say that you put a non-gaming person in a room and let them play several classic Zelda and Zelda-adjacent games. At the end of it, you would ask them which they think are old and which are new. Would it even matter if they got it right? To be consistently astounded with how current…

Star Wars Zero Company is a must-play turn-based tactical adventure that takes the best of the franchise to deliver one of its most compelling games to date. There seemed to be a time when Star Wars video games were not as ubiquitous as they are now. But then, they started appearing. For every genre, no less. Online shooters, open-world games, and even soulslikes set in a galaxy far, far away launched to varying degrees of success. Even then, there is no genre that is such a perfect fit for the franchise like a turn-based tactical game. Star Wars Zero Company…

Welcome to a new monthly feature in which AndresPlays gives a couple of new demos the spotlight and describes which are worth playing. One of my major goals in life is for like-minded gamers to look up to me for good indie recommendations. This is not new, but being so brazen about my intentions is. This has been the goal since the beginning. Always keep an open mind; never reject any kind of video game regardless of how it may look, and give them a fair try. That is why I decided to make a monthly demo roundup of a…

Kristala is a cat soulslike that goes through the expected medieval fantasy beats, with the added benefit of being a feral feline. What separates a good from a great soulslike? Is it the restraint to not overpopulate the world with too many enemies? Or that the lessons that you have learned throughout the game are purposefully executed so when the credits roll it feels like a graduation? In a crowded genre where gamers cry of there being too many soulslikes, I am of a different mind. I believe there are a solid number of good soulslikes and few that are…
