While it doesn't revolutionize the genre, Panzer Paladin has some great features and mechanics. The story is left to be desired and there isn't as much depth in the weapon breaking system than I wish it had, but it checks all the boxes and goes the extra mile without ever...
Grounded
If you already have a Game Pass subscription, you should definitely give Grounded a whirl. Rest assured that it won’t disappoint you; at least not in the first few days of your playtime. But if you want to pay for it, I recommend waiting a bit more until the game...
Double Kick Heroes is a great little game for fans of bashing their buttons and keys along with fast-paced heavy metal, and the zombie aesthetic feels well handled. I like how you’re able to adjust the game a bit to make for a more enjoyable experience that you can handle,...
That might be enough for you, but I think fans should have better. As for those who aren’t fans, it’s probably better to skip Fairy Tail. Even hardcore JRPG fans will find it not worth playing instead of something much better. This is just too mediocre to recommend for all...
Skater XL
I mentioned this in my interview with Easy Day Studios, but I have essentially waited for a game like this to release before I even started working for DualShockers. The once elusive, but now announced Skate 4, and really the skateboarding genre as a whole, has been part of many...

Paper Mario: The Origami King is far from a bad game; it’s just not one that meets its potential. This feels like a solid first step from Intelligent Systems to finally find a new groove for the franchise. Hopefully the team continues to iterate on the design and deliver a...
Carrion is a satisfying, bloody, intricate experience with fantastic puzzle, level and encounter design. However, it also suffers a notable consistency problem that breaks the sense of destructive momentum that's central to a game like Carrion. While players who come looking for a rip-and-tear experience like DOOM (2016) might be...
The Last of Us Part I
The two most recent notable releases -- Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario: The Oragami King should now be well outside of that 36-hour window. However, expect to see it on other forthcoming releases like Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered and others in the near future.
It pulls from established ideas you’ve already seen elsewhere, and the one unique hook it puts at the forefront isn’t near stable enough ground for it to stand out.
