If Nier Automata and Sekiro had a baby, you'd get this surprising creation from the studio partially responsible for Pokemon.
If you do manage to hold out, you will be rewarded with flashes of brilliance, it’s just that those flashes are buried as deep as the core story is buried in the endless dialogue. And as profound as it wants to be, this is still a game in which you...
When you’re right in the thick of it, zipping around like a toddler after a pack of Smarties, efficiently and methodically laying waste to the hordes of hell at 900 gibs per minute, this is the strongest Doom has ever been. It’s the combat of Doom 2016 expanded in clever...

Still, despite the fact Borderlands 3 seemingly wants me to hate it, I really, really like it. Like, a lot. I say this as someone who’s become a bit disenfranchised with the loot shooter. The moronic, sophomoric (sophomoronic?) dialogue masks over one of the most thoughtful, satisfying shooters you can...
The interplay between the AI, your abilities, the physics of the world, and your guns is some of the best I’ve seen, and I never thought I would be saying anything like that about a sequel to Brown Shooter: Apocalypse. There’s much more to this than its kooky, pink-hued marketing...
Sekiro is a game a lot of people are going to bounce off. It’s one for the “git gud” crowd - for people who want a feeling of accomplishment, rather than the fake achievement you feel from finding some Level 20 Pants in most modern triple-A experiences. It’s FromSoftware at...
Rico does a great job of making you feel just as dumb. There’s nothing as humbling as you and your partner counting down to boot a double door off its hinges in synchronicity, only for you to dramatically storm an empty room you already cleared. Check your map, dummies.
Though it’s not without its flaws, DMC 5 is a game where action is king. A layperson might think God of War and DMC 5 exist in the same genre, but they don’t. DMC 5 isn’t about going on an epic journey, meeting characters, and uncovering the mysteries of a...
I went into Anthem with an open mind. It’s a game I wanted to succeed from a studio I’ve always been fond of. Unfortunately, it’s everything everyone feared at reveal. It’s a hollow experience that’s been designed to appeal to the widest market possible while squeezing more money out of...
Absolver
Recently, I kicked a man in the head so hard that he backflipped off a cliff. You should have heard the thud. I almost felt bad, but he was between me and a mound of rocks, which I knew contained treasures – perhaps a new mask to give my face...
Mass Effect: Andromeda
It was disgusting: a pale, spindly creature, awkward looking and with wriggling, probing extremities. Patchy, fluffy hair clung to its cheeks, and it looked uncomfortable in its own skin, its arms hanging clumsily by its side as its tired eyes darted around nervously. Its name was Scott Ryder. Mass Effect...
