Bloober Team has gone back to original IP work with renewed vigor, and that vigor comes through in spades in Cronos: The New Dawn. This is a new sci-fi horror game set in an original universe, and it is an ambitious one. Bloober Team took what they learned from combat...
In 2004, Hideo Kojima and his team at Konami released the original run of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It was one of most immersive gaming experiences most of us had seen and many legendary bits and pieces would influence games and their players for decades to come. Flash forward,...
We’ve had quite a few non-FromSoftware takes on the Soulslike genre that could easily stand on their own for one reason or another, and this season, Chengdu-based Leenzee is throwing its hat in that ring in its gaming debut. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a Soulslike game that takes us to...
It has been a little under six years since the original Death Stranding came out and much has changed since. We’ve seen the world go through political and economic turmoil, a pandemic, and so much more. Maybe that’s part of what makes Death Stranding 2: On the Beach so interesting...
I have some expectations when I look at something in Disney’s Tron universe. I expect blue and red light accents on the characters, a good electronica soundtrack, light cycles, disc throwing, and copious amounts of de-rezzing of characters as they struggle with the questions of individuality, choice, and purpose. Tron:...
The Capcom Fighting Collections, Arcade Classics, Beat 'Em Up Bundles, and more have been pretty good up to this point, but there’s still so many amazing Capcom games and fighters that haven’t been available in reasonable form up to this point. Fortunately, another basket of gems is almost here in...
Garou: Mark of the Wolves came out in 1999. Now, it’s not like SNK fans have been starved to see their favorite characters. Terry Bogard and the Fatal Fury crew have shown up in plenty of King of Fighters games, and even crossed over to other franchises like (most recently)...
Xenoblade Chronicles is a beloved series with a dedicated fanbase, but 2015’s Xenoblade Chronicles X is a bit of a black sheep. It came out on the Wii U in 2015 and didn’t have long to impress before the platform’s discontinuation in 2017. Monolith Soft, however, saw value just begging...
Opposite attraction, or the unlikely pair, might be a bit of a cliché, but there’s still charm and solid storytelling in there if it’s weaved with good hands. Hazelight Studios have been masters of cinematic co-op experiences for years now, so it should come as little surprise that Split Fiction...
Two Point Studios has built a long and storied reputation out of producing slapstick business management games, and the studio has looked more than ready to continue that legacy with Two Point Museum. This game puts players in charge of turning boring, empty museums into bustling and active attractions. It...
The concept of putting Goro Majima in a pirate adventure is pretty much everything I thought it would be. This is a silly game with an enjoyable gameplay loop and adventure. Riding on the seas, ripping through ships with cannons, and then battling their crews in massive all-out brawls was...
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle may have broken just about every expectation I had for MachineGames, short of the fact that I expected a great game. It's definitely that, but the reasons for that greatness are that it’s an impactful brawler, a stylish action-platformer, and a clever puzzle game,...
