I’m hopeful thatRayman Originswill have a long-tail success; it would be tragic for a game this aesthetically pleasing to go unplayed by the masses. As of today, you cangrab it on Steamordirectly from Ubisoftfor an affordable $29.99. There’s a demo as well, and as expected, the game looks stunning on PC. Perhaps best of all, if you scroll down the list of game details onOrigins‘ Steam page, you’ll see the always pleasant “No 3rd Party DRM....

Get Ready! Out Runis an arcade classic with some exceptional music. Its various ports and sequels over the years have only added to that rich musical landscape with new tunes for each game. When it got released on Switch late last year, it came packed with even more tunes for you to cruise with, giving you another excuse to speed down the fictional streets ofOut Run-ville (that’s my unofficial name for the place)....

Get to know the people that make great videogames This Sunday, Sup Holmes returns with Shawn Alexander Allen ofNuChallenger. Shawn’s currently hard at work on a new turn-based, violent, President saving game calledTreachery in Beatdown Cityfor PS Vita and Sony phones (PS Mobile).

Just leaving ‘be wary of woman’ messages literally everywhere in Dark Souls II [We post a lot of articles here at Destructoid. The endless, ouroboros news cycle has us burning the snake at both ends, which will ultimately push big news, thoughtful original pieces, and all sorts of other great content off of the front page. Check here every Saturday for my attempt to rectify that.] Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick....

Coming soon for other platforms Afterbirth, the expansion toThe Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, was released earlier today on Steam. Just in time for Halloween! There’s also a creepy release trailer to go along with it, featuring a disturbingly realistic vision of the Womb, complete with bloody, flesh-like walls. The expansion requires the base game to play, and will run you $10.99 (or $19.98 for theRebirth+Afterbirthbundle, if you don’t already own the main game)....

Check out everything Destructoid did today The poor blue-haired bastard that can’t seem to get a lick of respect from anyone, Milhouse Van Houten will always occupy the softest part of whatever love I still hold forThe Simpsons.

One-minute timers on each level Anyone willing to jump through a few hoops can get their hands onSonic Forcesahead of its November 7 release. Sega put out a demo in Japan that’s meant to show off three levels, but it’s so needlessly restrictive that it doesn’t really show off much at all. As GameXplain notes in the above-embedded video, the three stages each have a one-minute timer attached to them. After that expires, it kicks the player back to the menu....

Be strong It’s a good thing I swore offClicker Heroes. It was bad enough playing the game on a desktop computer. Now, the perpetual time-waster is available foriOSandAndroid. There’s no escape. For the uninitiated, this is an idle game in which you attack monsters by tapping a bunch. Eventually, you’re able to afford to buy heroes and upgrades to automate the process. You’re meant to check back in regularly to maximize efficiency, so the game doesn’t leave even when you do....

Parry me senpai Niohis shaping up to be my first big purchase for 2017. Even though I didn’t play the first alpha demo, getting to try the last-chance demo shot me from no interest to pre-order in an instant. It was also interesting to me that I could never get intoDark SoulsorBloodborne, despite those getting endless recommendations from my peers. But that sort of statement is the kind that will draw out endless arguments and discussions....
