Dinkum
It takes a lot of courage to try to release a competitor to Nintendo’s Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, considering how everyone and their mother bought the latest iteration in the life simulator back when it was released in the same day as Doom Eternal, way back in 2020....
Code Violet
If there’s one thing I’ve always wanted is a brand-new Dino Crisis game in the same vein as the Resident Evil remakes. A highly polished and terrifying horror experience that will take the cult classic franchise and bring it into the new era. Code Violet, from the same team behind...
Lucasarts games are fairly famous for the “point and click” genre, putting out titles like The Secret of Monkey Island and Manic Mansion, but alongside them and the mountain of Star Wars titles released, they have also tried their hand at the first person shooter genre in the past, first...
If there was a game we all thought it would be a massive flop and disappointment this year, that game was Assassin’s Creed Shadows. A clear case of Ubisoft taking too long to deliver what people had been clamoring for more than a literal freaking decade, the long-awaited “Assassin’s Creed...

The use of generative AI in the gaming industry has increased dramatically over the past year, with major AAA games like Call of Duty and Fortnite experimenting with it to see how far they can push the boundaries. Unfortunately, they cross the line from human creativity into soulless art in...
To believe that two of the biggest “that will never see the light of day” games of all time, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Metroid Prime 4, are now out. To believe that, despite all odds, despite multiple delays, immense periods of radio silence, and people just getting fed up of...
