Cruis’n Blast answers many of those age-old questions: what would happen if a fire truck raced a hammerhead shark? Could a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado outpace a unicorn? And can an arcade racer work on a console in the year 2021? The first two questions can be answered by cycling through the...
The franchises that brought survival horror into the mainstream have either evolved into something more action-packed (Resident Evil) or disappeared entirely (Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark). So if you want to scratch that survival horror itch, you’ve got to turn to indie developers like Dual Effect Games. The studio’s...
The Alien IP has had a mixed bag of representation in video games, with the terrifying Alien: Isolation as a high point, and the awful Aliens: Colonial Marines as a spectacular low point. The next dev team up to bat is Cold Iron Studios with Aliens: Fireteam Elite, a co-op...
Whenever Raz enters someone’s mind in Psychonauts 2, he asks for their consent beforehand. In the one instance in which he doesn’t, he dives into the mind of the Psychonaut’s second-in-command Hollis Forsythe. He swiftly learns that this unsolicited meddling can cause terrible damage to the recipient; Hollis warns him...
It’s just over a year since the launch of Ghost of Tsushima for PS4. In my review, I described it as a “worthy addition to the roster of must-play PS4 exclusives that have kept players loyal to the console.” It’s only a year later, but we’ve now advanced a generation,...
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of the least lauded main entries of the franchise. It just didn’t resonate with fans the way A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time do. Other Zelda titles, like Wind Waker, have had the same issues in the past. However,...
The PS5 is now over six months old and yet it only boasts a few true exclusives that fully utilize the hardware on offer. Sure, Astro’s Playroom is a charming freebie and introduction to the platform, Destruction AllStars is fun for a weekend or so, and Demon’s Souls and Returnal...
Biomutant
How did this happen? Biomutant has been in development since 2015, originally set for release in 2018, before being delayed all the way into 2021. We’ve seen smatterings of footage here and there and the occasional playable build, with developer Experiment 101 being so quiet that they even had to confirm the...
Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD Remaster brings the 2003 PS2 classic back again with some sharpened graphics, re-translated script, voice acting, and some quality of life upgrades. Ironically, this game was many fans’ first experience with Shin Megami Tensei as the first title in that series to make it...
With a 70-hour campaign that roughly doubles in length when going for a map-clearing completionist run, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla did not need more content. It was both bursting at the seams with stuff to do and also ironically filled with a ton of dead, empty space. Wrath of the Druids,...
New Pokemon Snap isn’t the calm, meditative sightseeing tour I was expecting. As one of few who never played the Nintendo 64 original, I’d always imagined Pokemon Snap to be pretty laid-back. You’d sit in your car, take a picture of a Pikachu eating an apple, then you’d call it a...
Resident Evil Village is a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7, and as such, it has big shoes to fill. After the bestselling but poorly received Resident Evil 6 (and some terrible spin-offs), Resident Evil found itself in a rut. Fortunately, Resident Evil 7 tapped into the franchise’s roots and...
