Gaucho Origins brings Latin cowboy cosiness to mobile for iOS and Android

Overview & Key Takeaways

When I visited Gamescom LatAm earlier this year, one of the major things I noticed was that, like many regional game shows, the world of gaming was seen as a way to communicate culture. And that much is clearly evident in Gaucho Origins, a cosy life sim all about a South American cowboy and his adventures. If the name Gaucho rings a bell, then you've got a good memory!

Bridge Constructor+ turns collapsing bridges into a multiplayer competition

I think plenty of mobile games have been sold by a good trailer. Bridge Constructor was sold by a GIF of a truck crawling across a bridge while it fell apart underneath.

CRKD's Atom+ offers dual 4-way toggle buttons and more in its micro controllers as it hits stores

Ever since I reviewed the original CRKD Atom way back in 2024, I was pleasantly surprised to find how well its small collectible controller actually worked in practice. So, naturally I've had my eye on their newest line of controllers, the Atom+, since they were first announced back in late March. Now, the Atom+ has started shipping so it's a good time to look again at how CRKD are reinventing their collectible controllers. The main difference with the Atom+ is, of course, the fact that it uses thumbsticks in addition to a D-pad, rather than just the directional buttons. It also includes anti-drift technology, turbo mode and support for motion input, which is all quite impressive for such a small package. ...

Sky: Children of the Light offers you a glimpse behind the scenes of their Van Gogh collab

Usually, collabs are an opportunity for both the original and the guest to promote their respective series. But, in the case of Sky: Children of the Light, Thatgamecompany's all-ages cozy MMO takes the opportunity to expose their audience to all manner of cultural treasures. Now, their newest behind-the-scenes series gives us a look at how one of those came together. Fittingly, this behind-the-scenes showcase focuses on their Dear Van Gogh event. The event itself focuses on Vincent Van Gogh, a truly seismic figure in art whose tragic life has inspired many works of fiction. The Behind the Canvas video gives us a look at how the artist's works were translated into Sky: Children of the Light. ...
