Godfall
Developed by Counterplay Games and published by Gearbox, Godfall has the distinction of being the first game announced to release on the PlayStation 5. With this distinction as well as that of being a console launch exclusive, Godfall did garner a significant amount of attention. While some of the games...
Musou, or Warriors games, get something of a bad rap among gamers. Reactions towards the latest Hyrule Warriors title were fairly mixed, with some people losing interest the moment they found out it was a Warriors game at all. I’m here to tell you that those people are wrong. Hyrule...
Bright Memory
The Xbox Series X/S has recently launched, and with great success too! However, it’s not all smiles for fans of the first-person shooter genre. The most anticipated FPS game, Halo Infinite, is not set to arrive until sometime in 2021 (we hope!). Besides replaying some older first person shooters via...
There is a lot of work involved in building the greatest theme park in the world, and filling it with dinosaurs is the best way to do it. I mean, minus the fact that we have to start from scratch, plan for expeditions, extract fossil DNA, build dinosaur enclosures, create...
Several months ago, in the middle of the first wave of the global pandemic, I felt Activision should have just delayed Call of Duty this year. Modern Warfare was still going strong. Everyone was still playing it and the season pass model seemed to be working like a charm. Meanwhile,...
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is such a unique breath of fresh air in the video game world. It’s a cleverly sleeved rhythm game, which makes full use of the regular Kingdom Hearts series combat system. It’s an action RPG with real time combat, magic, items, and level gains set...
The Pathless
Ever since the release of Journey back in 2012, there’s been an insatiable appetite for whimsical, exploration driven adventures set in a magical and awe inspiring landscape. Giant Squid’s Abzu was one such effort, and one of the more successful at that. The Pathless follows a similar formula, but replaces...
The success of multiplayer dating sim Monster Prom has spurred a sequel that’s taking us into the summer of love. Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp puts you on a bus full of spooky and bizarre monster teens and sends you off to camp, where your goal is to get a...
The Falconeer
There’s something beautiful about one-man developers. Maybe it’s the passion that’s so clearly showcased in their work. Maybe it’s the understanding that what they create is something you could create if you had the patience, the talent, the drive. Maybe it’s just the wildly creative premises. Tomas Sala’s one-man project The...
With seven mainline iterations, five spin-offs, and two remakes, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio had a mammoth task on hand in order to ensure that the Yakuza games continued to appeal to its core fanbase. As Yakuza 6: The Song of Life signaled the end of the much-loved protagonist of the...
Pacer
Pacer is a game with a laser focus on the fans. The fans are those of us who love zero-gravity racing in the vein of Wipeout. Some members of the original Wipeout team even rolled up their sleeves on this title, so if you’ve ever raced in the future with...
Ghostrunner
Platforming is, by design, a rather tricky business. You’re meant to be confounded, to be pushed to your limits at every turn. Every success should come on the heels of agonizing defeat, even if that journey started several games ago. Viewed in this rosy light, Ghostrunner is a landmark victory....
