What happens when you cross Spyro with Pikmin, add modern technology, and throw in some industry-defining animation work? You get Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition has finally arrived. As a Mass Effect series veteran, I had been awaiting its release for some time. These games are really special and mean a lot to many people. And it’s up to me to give you my thoughts in our review of Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
I rode my bike east out into the Badlands as the sun was setting, golden hour bathing the Californian sky. I reached a slight incline and stopped as I disembarked. Turning west, I saw the immense skyline of Night City carved out along the horizon as the setting sun took up residence in all its ray traced glory. Moments like these continue to take my breath away in Cyberpunk 2077. This is truly a special game.
Dialogue options. Choice and consequence. Branching endings. These are features one associates with RPGs. Indeed, they are a staple hallmark of any role-playing affair. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that these mechanics are also in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. And not only are they included, they are featured prominently. Well well. We have a game on our hands.
For the last week, I’ve been heavily playing Riot Games’ latest foray, Valorant. With several hours under me, Valorant accomplishes many things, notably, reminding us that Riot does indeed know how to build core gameplay experiences.

Sadly, it falls just short of such a title.
Overall, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a fun if slightly dated affair. Having played Sniper Elite 4, it’s difficult to go back to V2 and not be influenced by hindsight. I can so clearly see how much Rebellion has improved their craft from Sniper Elite V2 to Sniper Elite 4 in virtually every single aspect of game design. However, this is a review of Sniper Elite V2 Remastered, and not its successor. And there is so much I really wanted to love about it. But small annoyances do add up: incons...
Unfortunately for Playground Games, they must work within the ecosystem Microsoft provides on PC. It’s just that the ecosystem is such utter trash that one cannot ignore it when discussing the gaming experience as a whole. The Xbox app and Microsoft’s Xbox experience on PC are so intrinsically tied to gaming on UWP that it’s necessary to discuss it. The experience is still utter garbage and does nothing to dispel the notion that PC gamers are still second-class citizens to Microsoft.
It’s my job to educate you on whether or not Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is worth your hard-earned $40. Consider the whole package. You’re getting three games completely remade from scratch. You’re getting the (expected but no less transformative) ability to play them at 60fps. The PC version is unquestionably the definitive version. And if like me you were a kid in the ‘90s, you’re getting that intangible value of re-living games from your childhood in their idealized form. So...
