Not so long ago, there was a clear line between games developed for “handhelds” and games developed for “consoles.” When franchises had to release on both kinds of platforms, there was an art to shrinking down mechanics and worlds without losing what made the games appealing in the first place....
Disco Elysium continues to stick with me after I’ve finished it. It’s one of the best things I’ve played this year, maybe ever, which is ironic because there’s not much that’s innovative about its core mechanics. That’s not a bad thing. In fact, too many games harp on innovation without...
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a decade since The Force Unleashed 2, the last single-player centric Star Wars game, released. Besides the two frequently-panned Battlefront games, since EA got the exclusive license to produce Star Wars games in 2013, all we’ve gotten are mediocre-to-poor mobile titles. I was...
Earlier this month, a new Need for Speed hit major consoles and PC platforms. It’s alright if you didn’t notice, EA seems less than enthusiastic about promoting the game. Announced as an afterthought during a financial call, this once mighty franchise now feels like an obligation to the publisher. It’s not to...
Creating a new world must be pretty hard. Well-established tropes in sci-fi and fantasy cover a lot of bases, so carving out new space is a difficult task. It’s a similar situation when you try to find a new way forward in the roguelike space. The genre blew up this...
FOOTBALL MANAGER 2020 has some big football boots to fill. Like an academy prospect who is dubbed as the long-term successor to a club’s legendary player, this year’s entry has the difficult task of following on from Football Manager 2019. The most in-depth game in the soccer management sim series,...

It’s not often that Nintendo — or any first-party publisher — publishes a game without telling everyone beforehand, but that’s what happened with THE STRETCHERS. The celebrated Japanese company collaborated with Little Nightmares developer Tarsier Studios out of the blue to develop this quirky title that deserved more pre-launch fanfare. Rather than...
In theory, dreams exist to relax you. They allow your brain to eject every stray thought and play out stressful scenarios without acting them out in real life. This works just as well, as you probably wouldn’t want to fall off a cliff in real life. However, if you find...
While the MARIO AND SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES series has never been quite the dream crossover that fans once envisioned between the Mushroom Kingdom and Mobius, Sega has been putting out solid (if ultimately unspectacular) mini-game collections since the original Wii release back in 2007. The latest installment comes ahead of...
Death Stranding is an anomaly in the video game industry. With AAA studios firmly entrenched, we seldom get to see a brand new studio like Kojima Productions get a blockbuster budget, A-list celebrity casting, and the backing of Sony for their first title. Of course, Hideo Kojima isn’t just any...
Satan is often portrayed as a trickster bent on getting people to commit evil acts and give into their temptations; a personification of sin itself. But he is rarely depicted as a party animal, hellbent on getting his fellow guests to pound shot after shot in his epic, nightly benders...
