Every time that Game Pass gets updated, it gets better. It seems like every month more and more games are coming to the platform solidifying its title as the “best deal in gaming.” This month is no different with nine more games headed to the service. Perhaps the biggest title coming to Game Pass on
Donut County
Few games have managed to capture the life of being a nebulous hole as well as Donut County has, and well…not a lot of other games actually have done that, really. But in any event, the charming indie title released in 2018 has steadily made its way to other platforms over the past few years,
As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2018 awards for DualShockers, there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just 2018
Welcome back, everyone, to DualShockers’ annual Game of the Year awards selection! We are all one year wiser, and one year more excited than we were in 2017. Thankfully, 2018 has been a rather contentious year with mega-hits like God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Monster Hunter: World having a strong showing — we are in no
Ben Esposito’s Donut County seems to have charmed everyone who played it on PS4, mobile, and PC, and now owners of other consoles will be able to enjoy it quite soon. Annapurna Interactive confirmed that the story-driven physics puzzle game will come to Xbox One during The Game Awards, but the company also confirmed a
Donut County is one of the year’s wackiest and most enjoyable releases. Even though it has a simple gameplay loop, it’s a game that oozes fun out of every corner and has a clear identity from beginning to end. It’s one of my personal favorite indie games of the year and has been something that I’ve
Alongside its release today, Donut County has received a new accompanying launch trailer and it’s just as strange as you’d imagine. This new 60-second video features one of the game’s main characters BK streaming himself playing through what is the opening level of Donut County. It also features voiceover work from who I am fairly positive is the
As much as I enjoy games with complex systems, sprawling open worlds, and stories that last for over 100 hours, now and then I’m just looking for something more bite-sized to sit down and spend some time with. Something that isn’t so daunting. Donut County is the newest game to scratch this itch for me and has
In Donut County, you play as a raccoon named BK, a new hire at a startup that uses remote-controlled holes to steal people’s trash – along with everything else. When BK falls into a hole himself, he must answer to his best friend Mira and the residents of Donut County who are now stuck 999
E3 2018 has come and gone and hosted many great games: however, some smaller indie titles might have been overshadowed by some of the bigger budget games seen on stage. Despite the huge amount of games announced during the event, we here at DualShockers have put together a convenient list of great indie games that
Creating art has always had its fair share of risks. It’s often time-consuming, thankless, and sometimes, a financial black hole. However, when it comes to game design, developers are subject to a risk that many other artists don’t have to worry about– clones. Sure, off-brand cereals and knock-off movies that exist only to cash in
I saw a bunch of cool games at PAX East, but most of them didn’t match up regarding both quality and intrigue when compared to what I saw from publisher Annapurna Interactive. Since being established in 2016, Annapurna has quickly built itself a phenomenal portfolio of games that include gems such as What Remains of Edith
During the pre-PlayStation Experience keynote from Anaheim, California, Annapurna Interactive’s upcoming title Donut County was revealed to be coming to PS4 next year. If you haven’t heard about Donut County before, then don’t worry, as you’re probably not alone. As the new trailer that was unveiled during PSX shows, essentially you play as hole. Exciting, right? Your goal as
Donut County is the next project by one-man independent developer Ben Esposito, who has previously worked as a level designer and consultant for What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan. Esposito’s game was originally revealed three years ago, and it has since resurfaced under publisher Annapurna Interactive. At PAX 2017, we took a journey into Donut County‘s
A little over three years ago, lone-wolf developer Ben Esposito — who has previously worked as a level designer on What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan — revealed Donut County with a “reveal trailer.” What was shown garnered considerable attention for its charming visuals and novel gameplay premise. Now three year laters, a second trailer has been released
