It’s been 10 years since Finnish developer Frozenbyte hit its stride with physics-based puzzle platformer Trine. Early adoption of the bundle model ensured that the TITLE graced Steam accounts far and wide, and the game propelled the studio onto continued success. Despite stumbling with a 3D entry a couple years ago,...
Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is Bungie’s first major release since fully taking over development and publishing duties from Activision. Some profound changes to Destiny 2 mirror this big business move. There’s a new expansion, a free-to-play release in the form of Destiny 2 New Light, and almost every system in the...
Yooka-Laylee is a marquee example of misguided nostalgia as the Kickstarted throwback ended up being a boring, dated 3D platformer that couldn’t hang with the current genre stars. To combat that tepid reception, Playtonic squished the series down into 2.5D and more closely chased after Donkey Kong Country over Banjo-Kazooie...
It would be a fool’s errand to review Magic: The Gathering. The mother of all card games has been going strong for over 25 years, all the while increasing in complexity. It is like chess, only each player brings their own set of pieces. Even when limited to the Standard...
Borderlands is all about guns, poop, and dick jokes, and you can look forward to a ton of all three of those things in Borderlands 3. Where many series seek to innovate, Borderlands 3 delivers more of the same for better or worse. At least this time around you can...

That’s harsh of course, and games like Nioh and Sekiro put a spin on the Souls formula that makes them masterpieces all their own, but I have to say I’m skeptical whenever the term Souls-like rears its head. Code Vein is the latest game to carry the moniker, and I’m...
It’s rare that a genre hits such a high note on its first time out like the Souls-like genre. FromSoftware’s own games have yet to be matched or topped by any studio that isn’t Team Ninja. But that doesn’t stop teams from trying. German developer Deck13 is one of those...
Geese are the chaotic evil of birds. Their existence revolves around being annoyed at anything standing within a 20-feet radius of their awful, hissing faces, treating every nearby living thing as though its presence is a personal affront. As such, they make for an unlikely video game protagonist. Yet that’s...
The beautiful game is back in full session and kicks off with the much-anticipated release of FIFA 20. This year’s edition of the gargantuan soccer franchise is better than ever thanks to the introduction of Volta, a reboot of sorts for the fan-favorite FIFA Street series. It’s not just Volta,...
By their very nature, first-person puzzle games are pretty relaxing. There’s no time pressure, no enemies shooting you, no instant death spike pits. It’s just you, a few different tools, and a logical knot to untie. From the genre’s origins in Portal to more recent examples, its a formula that never fails....
