It’s difficult to stay on task in Ghost of Tsushima. Whether you’re liberating a settlement or tracking down your next worthy opponent for a duel, there’s always something to distract you be it a cry for help or an animal intent on showing you Tsushima’s secrets. Distractions like those are common in open-world games, but […]

Death Stranding is the most Kojima game Hideo Kojima has ever made. Think of it this way: if a Kojima game had a baby with another Kojima game, out would slide Death Stranding. No one has ever made this kinda game before, and no one could. That’s what makes it special. Only Kojima could deliver […]

The PlayStation 4 still has plenty of life in it before the PlayStation 5 launches this year, but if the console’s new releases ended on June 19th, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II would be the perfect send-off. It’s an absolute gut-punch of a game built on the established and beloved formula of […]

Sometimes games come along that, despite their quality, just don’t capture you in the way they’ve managed to capture others, though it can be difficult to nail down why. That was certainly the case for me regarding the original Persona 5, and I can thankfully say that those issues have all but been eliminated in […]

Capcom really set a new bar for remakes in 2019 with Resident Evil 2 by showing what some iconic Resident Evil characters could look like in a new era of gaming, so the next logical step for the company would be to move the bar even higher with a remake of Resident Evil 3. Some […]

There’s a certain feeling some shooting games can offer that’s worth chasing the first time you experience it. It’s a feeling of being hyper-focused and full of adrenaline while you run-and-gun your way through a level, typically with sheer chaos unfolding around you as everything falls apart within your character’s field of view and threats […]

Ori, the shining forest spirit introduced in 2015’s Ori and the Blind Forest, is back in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the sequel from Moon Studios. The game takes place years after the events of the original, sending Ori on a new quest. He faces unknown dangers in an unfamiliar land as he […]

The holiday season is upon us, leaving some with the chance to find their newest role-playing addiction as a result. If you’re looking for something to scratch that itch with something a bit off of the beaten path, Spiders and Focus Home Interactive might just have the role-playing experience for you with their newest release […]

Even though a riveting, single-player Star Wars game is an experience people have been yearning for in recent years, it was difficult at the start to get excited about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Cal Kestis, the protagonist in Fallen Order, was a newcomer to the saga and would have to earn his stripes as […]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, like most Call of Duty games, set out on a mission to be different from the series’ past. Or rather, it wanted to be more of the same, more of the good old days, if that was the type of Call of Duty you were most familiar with. Gone was […]

The Outer Worlds is basically everything I want out of a modern role-playing game. The writing is clever, the world is interesting, and the mechanics reinforce the fantastical plot of being a long-lost colonist that’s been recently awoken in order to help every other colonist from that doomed mission rediscover their own future. In many […]

Borderlands 3 is, in many ways, a lot. From the start of the game to the point where you’ve spent full days playing, that statement remains true. There are a lot of guns, there are a lot of ways to get distracted, there are a lot of jokes, and there are a lot of moments […]

From the makers of Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break, Control is a mind-bending trip drenched in the hallmarks of a Remedy game. It’s weird, really weird, but if you’re familiar with Remedy’s resume then that’s the least surprising thing you’ll ever read. You can see Remedy’s fingerprints and DNA over every inch of […]

Saying that A Plague Tale: Innocence is pleasantly surprising is perhaps one of the best ways to summarize the game. The grim story about plagues and innocence lost from Asobo Studio and Focus Home Interactive always seemed like it’d be a compelling game, one that appeared to emphasize the story over everything else. Between a […]

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice isn’t a Dark Souls game, but with a style as unique as FromSoftware’s, it’s impossible to avoid comparisons. Whether you come all the way from Demon’s Souls or started out with Bloodborne, you’ll find different pieces of FromSoftware’s “SoulsBorne” family in Sekiro. It’s relentless yet fair, brutal while still being stylish, […]

Devil May Cry 5 brings back the familiar devil that we know in a way we’ve never seen him before: older and vulnerable. Because of this new outlook, the latest game in the franchise offers players a chance to take on a demon-invested world once more through different eyes. What makes Devil May Cry 5 […]

Metro Exodus feels like a blending of several different genres, games, and movies. It’s got a bit of Mad Max, a bit of The Road, and a bit of Fallout — good and bad parts — in it. But even with all these different elements at play, it remains grounded and unique enough to be […]

When Resident Evil 2 first came out in 1998, it was a complete game-changer for the horror genre. Capcom‘s gory hit perfectly blended a strong narrative with a guttural shock factor that enthralled the world. The Resident Evil 2 remake continues that tradition, bigger and better than ever before. As a huge fan of the […]

“Listen to me,” Dutch Van Der Linde scowls in a convincing voice. “When the time comes, you gotta run and don’t look back. This is over.” When the debut trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 surfaced two years ago and gave us a taste of Rockstar’s first true product since the best-selling Grand Theft Auto […]

There are times when players might be saying, “Don’t we have enough Metroidvania games as it is?” Granted, the reason why some folks might be saying this is because we already have a number of brilliant games in the genre, like the amazing Dead Cells, the time-traveling romp TimeSpinner and the awesome sleeper Chasm, amongst […]
