The Resident Evil series has gone from a spooky zombie game, to mutated monsters, to crazed villagers and more. It seems like the team at Capcom is constantly trying to find new things that the series’ assorted viruses and molds and whatever other bio-enhancements can mutate into. Resident Evil Village...
Returnal
Returnal’s core conceit is about breaking the cycle. Selene crashes her ship on the mysterious—and dangerous—planet of Atropos, and every time she dies, she is returned to the crash site. The world changes around each time she sets out anew, learning new things about her situation on the alien planet...
Outriders Review - Outriders is unapologetically Outriders. It balances the power fantasy with providing players a challenge, and weathers its flaws to offer an engaging gameplay loop.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 PS5 Review - Same Skate, New Console (PS5): Improved visuals, loading times, and DualSense features do Tony good.
I don’t know that I could have fully appreciated It Takes Two 10 years ago. 10 years of marriage and all of the ups, downs, and in betweens that come with it. 10 years of learning and understanding the ever shifting dynamics of a relationship and the simple act of...
Destruction AllStars was revealed as one of the PS5-exclusive launch highlights before being pushed back to February 2021 to release free via PlayStation Plus. This move was for the best, because I cannot see how it would have been successful at the $70 premium it was planned for. That’s not...
Editor’s Note: Most of this review was written prior to Sony pulling Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store. We opted to finish up the review and publish it because players can still pick up the game physically.
The comparisons to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are absolutely unavoidable with Immortals Fenyx Rising. It’s an enormous and gorgeous sandbox that lets you basically go anywhere and do anything. Its puzzles are reminiscent of the beloved Nintendo title. Its visuals seem to be inspired by a mix...
Watch Dogs Legion PS5 Review - Watch Dogs Legion is a game that shows a lot of promise, but ends up being entirely average with none of its ideas explored in meaningful depth.
It was as quick as the first death that instantly sent me careening back to memories of the original Demon’s Souls. I didn’t end up playing the 2009 title until 2011, but the arduous experience of getting the Platinum trophy sated my need for the Souls genre for the next...
When looking at the PS5 launch lineup, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was not at the top of my hype list. Sure, it’s Sackboy, one of the most iconic PlayStation mascots since LittleBigPlanet’s release on PS3, but having been underwhelmed with the just okay LittleBigPlanet 3, seeing Sackboy’s smiling knitted face didn’t...
Bugsnax is not quite what I expected. I mean, for a game from the developer behind Octodad, it’s sufficiently zany and loaded with “how the hell did they even come up with this?” types of ideas. That was certainly expected. But what I didn’t think I would find is a...
