Yerba Buena makes being an NPC way more fun than it should be

May 27, 2026, 14:01 AlexP Gaming News

Yerba Buena puts you in the shoes of an NPC breaking the rules of a strange puzzle-filled game world.

Yerba Buena has one of those premises that immediately makes you stop and go, alright, I need to see where this is going. Instead of putting you in the boots of some chosen hero, the game throws you into the life of Barb, a young woman living as an NPC inside an abandoned game world inspired by 1970s San Francisco. That alone gives the whole thing a weird, cool flavor. You are not just exploring a city; you are moving...

Realm of Ink mixes fast roguelite combat, Chinese fantasy, and Momo’s wild transformations into one stylish one more run game.

Realm of Ink is the kind of roguelite that pulls you in with the art first, then keeps you there because the runs actually have bite. On the surface, it has that gorgeous Chinese ink-painting look, all flowing lines, fantasy creatures, and storybook atmosphere. But once the fighting starts, it is very much a fast action roguelite where you are dodging, slashing, stacking upgrades, and trying to survive just long enough to see your build become completely unfair. ...

Gravelord mixes Doom-like chaos, Quake-style speed, dark fantasy humor, and pure retro FPS fun in one wild ride.

Gravelord is one of those games that does not try to act bigger than it is. It knows exactly what it wants to be: loud, fast, messy, ridiculous, and fun.

Forza Horizon 6 brings street car finds, car meets, and Japanese car culture closer than ever for players to enjoy.

These are secondhand cars parked around the map, and when you spot one, you can check it out, test drive it, and even buy it for your own garage. That sounds simple, but...
