For the most part, Ubisoft games undeniably pull from a certain blueprint, one the company has been continually iterating on since the good ol’ days of Assassin’s Creed 2 and Far Cry 3. It’s not often that its games draw heavy comparisons to outside sources but Immortals Fenyx Rising changes...
Godfall review for PS5 and PC. Godfall is a game that’s stuck in time. The graphics and combat are top-notch, delivering what you’d expect of a modern hack-and-slash with some unique aspects thrown in the mix. However, when it comes to story and game design, Godfall feels more like it’s out...
The Pathless review for PS5, PS4, and PC. Giant Squid scored critical acclaim with its first game Abzu. The simplistic narrative and gameplay of that title, and the success that stemmed from it, influenced the studio’s latest title, The Pathless. This time around, players must go a bit more hands-on,...
CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS COLD WAR REVIEW FOR PC, PS5, PS4, XBOX SERIES X|S, AND XBOX ONE. Not even a year like 2020 can stop Call of Duty‘s annual release. Developer Treyarch Studios has delivered Black Ops Cold War on time, despite the pandemic and the fact that it’s only been two...
It seems like a rule that every console needs a platformer as a launch title, and the PS5 has Sackboy: A Big Adventure. For this game, Sackboy moves up to 3D, and the world is pre-created. It’s a cute, run-of-the-mill 3D platformer that makes for a family-friendly intro to the...
Observer is my favorite Bloober Team title to date, and it’s hard to believe it’s been three years since it was released. The Polish cyberpunk dystopia still haunts me with its oppressive, lonely atmosphere, and unrelenting body horror. Its simple setting, a rotting, dilapidated Krakow apartment building in 2084, unfurls...
Fuser
Do you remember The Outdoors? It was something that existed in the not-too-distant past, before we argued over whether we should wear masks or sentence our grandparents to death. Fuser reminds me of what The Outdoors was like — specifically, the variation of The Outdoors that I avoided. The giant crowds, the face...
Assassin’s Creed Origins was an origin in more ways than one as it went through the beginnings of the Brotherhood and marked a new start for the series as a whole. Odyssey expanded upon that refresh to a fault and now Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the third iteration of this...
The PS5 Future of Gaming Show in June was our first look at Sony’s next-gen hardware, yet despite finally seeing what the console would look like, we were left with only one burning question after the event: what on earth are Bugsnax? Now, nearly six months later, we finally have...
Dirt 5
While the Dirt Rally games are about as serious as racing sims come, Dirt 5 is a breath of colorful, arcade-y fresh air. This is a vibrant arcade racing game that lets the player decide which of its multiple racing disciplines they prefer, with Nolan North and Troy Baker affording...
Nintendo has Mario, Sega has Sonic, Microsoft has Master Chief, but Sony never really latched onto a single character to represent its brand (no, Toro and Polygon Guy don’t count). This changed when Sony embraced Astro Bot as the pseudo-mascot of the PSVR, and he quickly became a fan favorite....
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a new beginning for the series in many ways. It introduces a new protagonist, a new turn-based combat system, and a relatively self-contained story. This is a gamble for Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, as up to this point, each entry in the series has primarily...
