It's been over six years since developer Sucker Punch Productions released Infamous: Second Son in March 2014, which means the studio has a lot to prove with Ghost of Tsushima.
Obsidian, one of the most famous Western RPG developers in the games industry, has historically struggled a bit to keep afloat.

Paris-based studio Spiders (acquired a couple of months ago by French publisher Bigben Interactive) is an interesting example of perfecting expertise through hard, steady work. Ever since their foundation in 2008, they have focused solely on the development of roleplaying games.

Retailers gleefully rub their hands anticipating the revenue, gamers literally can't wait to be able to dive into their virtual worlds and fellow colleagues in the game development community are eager to...
Lara Croft is undoubtedly one of the most iconic videogame characters and not just for its theatrical appearances. She was arguably the first female lead of a big game in a medium which was, for the most part, dominated by macho protagonists at the time.
As you can easily guess from its title, State of Decay 2 is the sequel to the zombie apocalypse simulator made by Undead Labs and released as an Xbox Live Arcade title for the Xbox 360 in 2013, before landing on PC as well.
