Mind you it does make me wonder – is there any reason someone can’t simply port Nethack to the PlayStation 4? Open source project as it is, that would make me incredidbly happy indeed.
No game, film, book or otherwise has been more effective in capturing what the experience of exploring the universe must be. Lonely, hostile and unforgiving, Hello Games’ effort works so hard to reject the convention on how games are made that it’s easy to understand why people expecting something more...
Obliteracers introduces some interesting ideas, but between dead lobbies and limited local options, its multiplayer core falls a bit flat on PS4. With nothing else to pick up this slack, it ends up being a game that quickly loses steam.
2016 has really seen the emergence of games that art and/or experience first, and traditional entertainment product second.

Hyper Light Drifter is a wonderful combination of good game design and enchanting aesthetic direction. With solid gameplay backed up by slick production values and a theme of heroism and self sacrifice that runs deep through the entire runtime, this is a game which enriches any player lucky enough to...
That brings me to what is, more than anything else, ABZÛ’s crowning achievement. It really captures the majesty of ocean—the beauty of it, but also the power of it. In that sense, maybe “diving simulator” is accurate, because as stylized and fantastical as it is, it expertly captures what it...
It’s a short game and doesn’t get everything perfect, but it’s also quite unique and has a strong narrative to it. And I do love a game with a strong female lead. This is also a game that feels that it has been released a little early, and by that...
