New Releases and Major Updates By the Conveyorful for the Steam Automation Fest

Everything begins somewhere and while automation gaming didn’t start with Factorio it’s the game that gave the genre its biggest boost. Factorio inspired Satisfactory, and Satisfactory became the kind of hit that turns a healthy niche into a thriving genre. “Automation” is such a broad term that there’s no one way to do it right, in the same way that “FPS” can be applied to everything from Doom to Thief to Portal, and much more beyond that....

Welcome to theBlack Fridayand Cyber Monday rabbit hole of deals – if you haven’t been here for three days already, like I have. I’ve sifted through all the major retail and department store sales, and I’m approaching “twenty-percent-off-sitewide” burnout.

Outcast – A New Beginning Early Access Review: Back to the Drawing Board

It has been 25 years since the original sci-fi action RPG Outcast hit our screens. Then it was award-winning, hailed as revolutionary thanks to its use of free-roam three-dimensional exploration in an action RPG, but can the latest installment live up to the reputation? While I enjoyed the combat inOutcast - A New Beginning, it didn’t blow me away.
