I tell you what everyone needs right now: a good old fashioned end-of-the-world apocalypse story. And whew boy is that exactly what we have here for you today. It’s weird, making video games. I’ve never been one to just make another variant on a game you’ve already played, I’ve always been interested in doing something

Sæl! (Norse Hello and happiness.) After our last massive update, not only bringing Predator: Hunting Grounds a new map but a whole new form of gameplay with Clash… we asked ourselves, why stop there? For this October’s paid DLC and free updates – we are throwing it back to Norse lore. That’s right. You’re getting
If you’re like me, a good chunk of your journey through Naughty Dog’s vision of a ravaged Seattle was spent with time frozen. Heightening emotions etched on faces in story beats, fists balled and bodies stretched taut come fight scenes, gazing at the quiet beauty of a city partially reclaimed by nature. All opportunities to
In July we announced Hello Neighbor 2 – the sequel to our original stealth horror game about sneaking into your creepy Neighbor’s house – and released its first Alpha. Alphas are a great way for us to get some feedback from you and adjust the gameplay accordingly, and for the players – to experience some
Verdict The Ancient Gods Part 1 does what Doom expansions always used to: provides more Doom, but makes it harder. Its new enemies are more of an annoyance than a fun challenge but there were already more than enough tricks up Eternal’s sleeves to build on for increasingly tough battles. I recommend a bit of
Rumours of a more powerful revised version of the popular Nintendo Switch system have been circulating online for the last few years, but hopes are that they will announce one sometime early next year.

Reviewed on PC by Ryan McCaffrey. Doom Eternal’s first story DLC, The Ancient Gods Part 1, does what Doom expansions always used to: provides more Doom, but makes it harder. And in Doom’s case, that’s a good kind of pain. Doom Eternal and The Ancient Gods Part 1 are also available on Xbox One and

It has been five years since The Legend of Heroes: The Trails of Cold Steel’s saga began in the West.

It’s time to get serious. I’ll make it clear right from the word go, Halo 5: Guardians is the weakest game in the main series. This is for a variety of reasons that I will cover throughout this article. Before this however, I’d like to rewind a little further. In 2012, Halo 4 was released,
There is no shortage of great ninja-centric video games out there, from Ninja Gaiden to Metal Gear Rising to more recent gems like Katana Zero. But even among those, Ghostrunner stands out by being 100% committed to delivering that fantasy of becoming a super fast and deadly assassin. This is a game where you run
Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked) Sometimes a game’s overambition can be to its detriment, and Supraland is a prime example of this. The game is a disappointing tale of clear purpose and great ideas that, unfortunately, does not create an enjoyable product. While it is impressive that the game was created by only two developers,
A little less than a year ago, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced plans to establish a support studio in Malaysia. Evidently, the development office opened its doors sometime this year as planned.

Extreme Meatpunks Forever is “a serial visual novel/mech brawler about gay disasters beating up neonazis in giant robots made of meat,” a description which certainly tracks with the claim that it does punk better than any other recent game.

Switch might be a natural home to platformers but outside of 2018’s excellent Runner3, and the less-excellent Bubsy: Paws On Fire!, we’ve seen little of the runner sub-genre. Targeting the dog lovers, Double Pug Switch from The Polygon Loft seeks to fill that niche. Bringing us a challenging platformer, you play as Otis, adorable pug

Screenshot Saturday Sundays!

A long time ago I was looking for a game to play. Something colorful offering a great single-player experience. After a long time of searching I couldn’t find what I was looking for. 3D combat platformers were my favorite genre during my childhood days, but unfortunately this kind of genre was pretty scarce on PC.
Every year at Christmas, my family has a tradition. After hoovering up every scrap of food that’s left after the festivities, we wrap up warm and take a trip to the local park to race our RC Mario Kart toys. It’s mostly to cater for the younger members of the family and to get everyone
