Demon’s Souls will really click with some people who like a challenge, or for anyone desperate for a PS5 technical showcase. For Sony loyalists who already love Soulsborne games, it’s a dream come true. Bluepoint Games is the king of remakes, and it’ll take a fight as difficult as a...
The Pathless is among the first wave of games that are clearly inspired by Breath of the Wild. While some of the games to come will just end up feeling like a pale imitation of something greater, The Pathless crafts its own distinct identity, with a memorable experience that’s different...
While its visuals and gameplay remain firmly rooted in current-gen, it’s hard to stay mad at Bugsnax for long. The capturing mechanics hit that sweet spot between Pokemon Snap and Ape Escape that I didn’t know I needed, and it’s all held up by loveable characters and smart writing that...
Online play is also missing at launch despite being right on the menu. (It releases December 3.) This game clearly needs a lot more polish, so don’t feel bad waiting until the next-generation consoles drop and that multiplayer update is out. If you want an open-world game that truly feels...
Star Wars: Squadrons is exactly what you think it is: a no-frills space combat game set in the world of Star Wars. Those not used to the genre will face a steep learning curve, but those willing to put in the time and get good will discover one of the...
Its irreverent style understands the appeal of this long-dormant franchise, and one can only hope Xbox’s future revivals work like this too. Xbox is sitting on a lot of cool IP, like Perfect Dark and Banjo-Kazooie from Rare. If the announcement of Fable is any indication, Xbox is very interested...
I love the concept behind Destroy All Humans and want to see what a game with a higher budget and more modern design sensibilities could do with this concept. THQ Nordic owns the rights to several unique franchises like Destroy All Humans, and should develop new experiences for these games...
Stadia and Robot Entertainment have a fantastic base here that really takes advantage of the platform, those glitches need to be fixed and the live service type elements need to follow through for Orcs Must Die! 3 to reach killer app status on Google Stadia. Even with its rough edges,...
INVERSE VIDEO GAME REVIEW ETHOS: When it comes to video games, Inverse values a few qualities that other sites may not. For instance, we care about hours over money. Many new AAA games have similar costs, which is why we value the experience of playing more than price comparisons. We...
If you can get past that one major flaw, there’s a lot for both Gears and strategy game fans to like with Gears Tactics. Genre diehards will enjoy the unique hero system and more fluid pace, while Gears fans will savor the cleverly translated gameplay mechanics and prequel story. While...
As the JRPG has become more mainstream in the west over the past couple of years, now is the best time for Star Ocean to try and capture a bigger audience. Re-releases like Star Ocean: The Last Hope - 4K & Full HD Remaster and Star Ocean First Departure R...
While saying something like “The Outer Worlds is out of this world” may be low-hanging fruit for a writer, it isn’t a false statement. This game rewards player choice and experimentation on a level I have not seen since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and it manages...
