The latest rendition of using gigantic weapons to slay even bigger beasts might have finally hit its peak. With Monster Hunter Wilds, players can finally experience a fully open Monster Hunter world that is teeming with life, tells a good story, and delivers non-stop action. For both fans of the franchise and newcomers alike, Monster Hunter Wilds is absolutely brilliant.
The release of a PC port for Fantasian is something many JRPG players have been requesting since its release in 2021, albeit with little hope due to Apple owning the rights on its mobile Apple Arcade Platform. Well, those requests have finally been answered as Fantasian Neo Dimension combines the two mobile releases with added English and Japanese voiceovers along with 4k support for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.
The last couple of years have been pretty great for Warhammer 40,000 fans. We received an amazing tactical RPG in the form of Rogue Trader, Darktide provides a co-op FPS experience, Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters allows you to hunt Nurgle traitors as the Grey Knights, and now Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 recently released in its full glory. While the original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine offered some campy, ork slaughtering fun, the sequel provides a more brutal take on being a space mari...
Having been a fan of the Mana series since I was a kid, I was more than thrilled to get a chance to receive an advance copy of Visions of Mana. I have fond memories of Secret of Mana from my childhood, and recently enjoyed playing the remaster with my family. While Trials of Mana received a re-release with the Collection of Mana and a complete remake in 2020, Visions of Mana is a brand new entry in the series.
It’s hard to blame developers and publishers for wanting to chase hot gaming trends. In theory it makes sense to replicate what’s popular at any given time. Most of the hard work is already done and developers just need to put their own spin on it. However, there’s a reason only a handful of games dominate certain genres; the graveyards full of MOBAs and Hero Shooters can attest to this. Unfortunately, Wuthering Waves seems poised to follow this trend with its drip-fed content, dreadful...
When Elden Ring released in 2022, I was a bit apprehensive at first. I’m typically not a fan of FromSoftware’s games; not because I don’t like challenging single-player content but I often find the slower pace combined with frustrating boss mechanics to simply not be fun. That being said, Elden Ring ended up as my game of the year in 2022, and I still think it’s the best open world game ever created. With that in mind, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree expands upon almost everything fr...
It’s been more than 30 years since the original Alone in the Dark made its debut, and now we’re coming full circle with the game that helped define the survival horror genre. Clearly having an influence on Resident Evil with its puzzles, weight management system and overall creepy theme, the remake of Alone in the Dark has definitely borrowed a few things from more recent games in Capcom’s series. Unfortunately, Alone in the Dark can’t decide what it truly wants to be and falls a li...
Did you ever just have the urge to drown a bunch of knock-off anime characters with foam in a giant bathtub? Yeah, me neither, but that’s what we get with Foamstars. For whatever reason, Square Enix decided that it needed a non-lethal, casual, online-only shooter to compete with the plethora of other online hero shooters and battle-royale games on the market. How does it compare to the competition? Well, it definitely stands out, but not necessarily in a good way.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a fantastic turn-based tactical RPG that makes amazing use of its source material while still providing an immense amount of freedom to its players. But how does it hold up in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world? Here's our review.
These words will be ingrained into your brain by the end of your journey in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Handler Walter starts most mission briefings off with this phrase, and boy, does he have some jobs for you. I won’t bury the lede here: if you like fast-paced mech combat, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is the best in the genre.
