Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a throwback to a bygone era but with the technical prowess of a current-gen game. Taking its cues from older The Legend of Zelda games — it’s no surprise that its developer and digital animation studio Ember Lab previously produced a Majora’s Mask short film — puzzle-solving through...
Lost Judgment is a direct sequel to 2019’s Judgment and once again stars detective Takayuki Yagami. Not even a year after the release of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, we’re going back to Yokohama to solve a groping case turned murder mystery. Where Judgment dealt with gritty gangland murders involving corrupt...
Cruis’n Blast answers many of those age-old questions: what would happen if a fire truck raced a hammerhead shark? Could a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado outpace a unicorn? And can an arcade racer work on a console in the year 2021? The first two questions can be answered by cycling through the...
With Deathloop, developer Arkane Studios clearly aims to incorporate lessons learned from Dishonored, Prey, and earlier games with a new invasion element that adds multiplayer to the mix. It’s this latter element that I was most interested in playing and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s the game’s standout feature. I’ve waited a...
The franchises that brought survival horror into the mainstream have either evolved into something more action-packed (Resident Evil) or disappeared entirely (Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark). So if you want to scratch that survival horror itch, you’ve got to turn to indie developers like Dual Effect Games. The studio’s...
The Alien IP has had a mixed bag of representation in video games, with the terrifying Alien: Isolation as a high point, and the awful Aliens: Colonial Marines as a spectacular low point. The next dev team up to bat is Cold Iron Studios with Aliens: Fireteam Elite, a co-op...
Whenever Raz enters someone’s mind in Psychonauts 2, he asks for their consent beforehand. In the one instance in which he doesn’t, he dives into the mind of the Psychonaut’s second-in-command Hollis Forsythe. He swiftly learns that this unsolicited meddling can cause terrible damage to the recipient; Hollis warns him...
It’s just over a year since the launch of Ghost of Tsushima for PS4. In my review, I described it as a “worthy addition to the roster of must-play PS4 exclusives that have kept players loyal to the console.” It’s only a year later, but we’ve now advanced a generation,...
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of the least lauded main entries of the franchise. It just didn’t resonate with fans the way A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time do. Other Zelda titles, like Wind Waker, have had the same issues in the past. However,...
The PS5 is now over six months old and yet it only boasts a few true exclusives that fully utilize the hardware on offer. Sure, Astro’s Playroom is a charming freebie and introduction to the platform, Destruction AllStars is fun for a weekend or so, and Demon’s Souls and Returnal...
Biomutant
How did this happen? Biomutant has been in development since 2015, originally set for release in 2018, before being delayed all the way into 2021. We’ve seen smatterings of footage here and there and the occasional playable build, with developer Experiment 101 being so quiet that they even had to confirm the...
Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD Remaster brings the 2003 PS2 classic back again with some sharpened graphics, re-translated script, voice acting, and some quality of life upgrades. Ironically, this game was many fans’ first experience with Shin Megami Tensei as the first title in that series to make it...
