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 […]

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey brings a lot of “new” to the franchise. RPG-driven dialogue wheel has made its grand appearance, as well as choosing between a male or a female protagonist, and chosen (and woo’d) romance options. Assassin’s Creed appears to be in touch with their inner BioWare and just like their famous franchises such as […]

Marvel’s Spider-Man is the best superhero movie you can’t buy a ticket to see, and it’s one of the best open-world games of the generation. Insomniac Games has shown great audacity in its effort to craft a wholly original Spider-Man story, with its own timeline and set of origin stories. Having played the game from […]

Most games aim to simulate a journey; God of War succeeds in actually taking you on one. There were moments following the credits when I’d simply open the world map, look at all of its diverse landmarks, and gape in wonder. “I really went there,” thought I. I really did go on this magnificent and […]

With Monster Hunter World, Capcom has managed to do something that very few developers are capable of doing. They took a long-running franchise which straddled the line between niche obscurity and mega-fandom, and delivered to onlookers on both sides exactly what they were hoping for. As a long-time Monster Hunter player, it’s difficult to convey […]

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is aptly named, as it could end up being a sacrifice for developer Ninja Theory. The studio has been making finely-tuned action games like Heavenly Sword and DmC: Devil May Cry for years, but now they strike out on their own without a major publisher’s backing with a game that delves deeply […]

Super Mario Odyssey is the product of overwhelming love, uncompromising discipline, and unceasing dedication to push the envelope. In this reviewer’s opinion, it’s Nintendo at its best. It’s a game that serves as a convicting example of what the creative human mind is capable of, and it’s going to inspire generations of artists, developers, engineers, […]
