Valheim, developer Iron Gate’s co-op survival game, was a breakout indie hit in 2021.

It provided whimsy, goofiness, challenge, and togetherness that was so sought after at the time. Starting out in Viking purgatory, and in one of the easier biomes,  » Read More

It’s not unusual for games in this genre to spend a long time being iterated upon in this way, but Scum’s lengthy creation process has meant we’ve been waiting quite a while to see how it’s full version would pan out. Now, with its 1.0 launch, Scum has rocketed up Steam’s player charts, enjoying a level of popularity that could see it standing next to genre classics like Rust,  » Read More
