It’s hard to dispute that a game and/or game series is popular when it is able to spawn its own genre. Such is undoubtedly the case with FromSoftware’s “Soulsborne” games, which includes Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. Lies of P doesn’t hide the fact that it takes heavy influence from these entries, […]

During my time with Starfield, I’ve gotten lost in caves and abandoned research facilities for no real reason at all, only to come out much richer with off-the-books “quests” completed and a more fleshed-out world to show for it. I’ve also gone up against more bullet sponges than I care to recall, with some enemies […]

Dungeons & Dragons saw an uptick in popularity during the pandemic as players used the technological magic of video calls to see and communicate with each other from across vast distances. Now that the world has returned to something that, at least on the surface, resembles pre-pandemic normalcy, it may be more of a challenge […]

Final Fantasy 16 is just about everything you could want from a AAA video game. Gorgeous visuals, engaging gameplay, deep storytelling, excellent voice acting, and a soundtrack that will leaving you waiting for its arrival Spotify. Across virtually all areas, Final Fantasy 16 is a major achievement from Square Enix and stands as one of […]

Nearly a decade after the minds at Blizzard Entertainment dragged gamers into Sanctuary to deal with the likes of the franchise’s eponymous demon and the fallen angel Malthael, we’re able to revisit the dark land once more with the release of Diablo 4. It’s a game some might consider the most anticipated from Blizzard in […]

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a remarkable and breathtaking experience that builds upon one of the best games ever made. With a deeper story and a more fully formed world, Tears of the Kingdom addresses some of the criticisms of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild while showcasing even more […]

2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order released at a time when goodwill toward EA and its Star Wars games had started to run thin. Following the rough launch of Battlefront 2 and the cancelation of Visceral’s own single-player Star Wars game, Fallen Order arrived to low expectations only to be met with widespread acclaim. Over […]

Resident Evil 4 is a game I’ve bought more times than I care to admit, and based on how many systems it’s been ported to and the general community sentiment around it, I’d imagine I’m not alone there. A remake of a game with that kind of staying power has the potential to make people […]

Atomic Heart has arrived, and with this first-person shooter throwing wave after wave of killer robots your way, is this apocalyptic story able to make a name for itself in the gaming landscape? Created by the developers at Mundfish, this shooter is populated with lush environments and a variety of enemies as you find yourself […]

Hogwarts Legacy is finally here and somehow, it manages to mostly live up to the lofty expectations that it has created over the last several years. While it’s not perfect, it comes exceptionally close to being the Harry Potter game that many have yearned for.  The year is 1890 and  you’re a rare fifth year […]

Spoiler warning: Brief gameplay spoilers for God of War Ragnarok are present in this review. God of War Ragnarok is not the game that I was expecting it to be, but that’s not a bad thing. Ever since God of War launched back in early 2018, I have been theorizing and hypothesizing about what would […]

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a very strong sequel from developer Asobo Studio. When the original A Plague Tale: Innocence launched back in 2019, it surprised many folks (myself included) simply due to how much the action-adventure title flew under the radar prior to release. With higher expectations in place for Requiem, my biggest fear […]

At no point during my playthrough of Scorn did I ever consider it a “fun” game, and to its credit, developer Ebb Software has made no effort to disguise the game as such. Through all its grit and grime, Scorn‘s more of an experience than anything else. Completing only one playthrough may mean leaving some […]

Ever since the existence of The Last of Us Part 1 leaked last year, I’ve been firmly in the camp that believed Naughty Dog’s iconic PlayStation game didn’t need to be remade on PlayStation 5. Even though I love The Last of Us and have enjoyed regularly revisiting it since its initial release in 2013, […]

Stray is easily one of the most unique games releasing in 2022 simply because you get to play as a cat and that’s largely how the team behind it has been marketing it. While there is no shortage of feline-related activities like carelessly walking across keyboards or scratching couches, what most people will likely be surprised […]

Ghostwire: Tokyo is an odd video game in all the right ways. While ostensibly an action-adventure title, there are plenty of role-playing game influences like leveling up and assigning skill points. It has all the hallmarks of an open-world video game with dozens of markers dotting the map, but due to the care and specificity […]

If FromSoftware’s past games are considered individual successes, Elden Ring feels like the developer’s “Greatest Hits” collection. It plays like a culmination of every smart idea FromSoftware has had throughout its grueling games while still finding ways to build on the opaque experience the studio’s crafted over the years. The half-jokes referring to it as […]

Horizon Forbidden West is a game that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time, and by most accounts, it ended up meeting my expectations. Horizon Zero Dawn was far and away my favorite game of 2017 and overall became one of the most enjoyable titles I played during the PlayStation 4 era. As […]

The genre might have evolved over the last few decades, but there are very few things that are as satisfying as an arcade beat-em-up. Moving across from screen to screen, level to level, and clearing out everyone in your way can be one of the most fulfilling experiences from top to bottom. There’s something incredibly […]

It’s been quite the journey for Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human, a title that was initially announced at 2018’s E3 and then went radio silent for quite some time before re-emerging a few years later. The long-awaited sequel is finally here after numerous delays, and while it isn’t perfect, it delivers on much of […]
