Obsidian gleefully and unabashedly took a lot of different aspects of the RPG genre and successfully mashed them with its own creative ideas to make The Outer Worlds, one of 2019’s strongest experiences. And now Obsidian is going down another path well-worn by role-playing games: expansions. Peril on Gorgon is...
MORTAL SHELL REVIEW FOR PS4, PC, XBOX ONE. While Soulslikes have been struggling to keep up with From’s genre-topping efforts over the past decade, gaming as a whole has been confusing “bigger” for “better” in that same time frame. They’re two separate issues but are both ones that Mortal Shell simultaneously...
Superhot directly told people it was one of the most innovative shooters of all time, but it was right. Tying the movement of time to physical movement intelligently blended strategy and action and made every level unfold like a YouTube compilation of John Wick’s most impressive scenes. Superhot: Mind Control Delete...
The Last of Us’ ending was so sacred that just the mere idea of a sequel seems sacrilegious. Ambiguity as poetic as that is woefully uncommon and a follow-up could easily dismantle that purity. Instead of letting naughty dogs lie, developer Naughty Dog decided to make the inconclusive ending more...
NetherRealm has supported its last four games with a healthy amount of premium and free DLC. From stages to characters to finishers, each has had a healthy flow of content over the years. But the Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath expansion marks a new era for the team, as it adds...

Saints Row: The Third was one of 2011’s shining jewels. Blinged out in a mess of gaudy purple necklaces and chains, the third Saints title marked the series’ full transition into its true destiny of being a ridiculous parody of the open-world crime genre. SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD REMASTERED sees...
Moving is one of the most unfun chores on the planet. It’s as tiresome as it is tedious, even if everything goes smoothly and there’s a well-earned pizza at the end. But chores don’t always have to be chores when in video game form, as MOVING OUT is trying to...
The Predator’s trophy room is decorated with many skulls — humans, coyotes, Xenomorphs — but there is one foe that the dreaded beast can’t seem to best: time. Time has turned this predator into prey since the 1987 classic film, transforming an esteemed hunter into an atrophying pile of meat...
Journey to the Savage Planet was an exercise in brevity that many, many other games could learn from. It had no filler and let players explore and tinker with the titular savage planet without overstaying its welcome. By that very notion, DLC almost seems counterintuitive to such a lean game....
Modern Warfare 2 probably had the biggest shoes to fill in the series. Following up one of the most influential games of all time was a tall task and there was almost no way it could have lived up to that challenge. Now, almost 11 years later, CALL OF DUTY:...
Even though Metroidvania games are quite prevalent nowadays, Ori and the Blind Forest was still among the best when it came out in 2015. It had the requisite ability progression and litany of hidden collectibles, but its demanding platforming, vibrant art style, and tear-jerker of a story put it in...
