Deja vu is rather common in the gaming scene where sequels are a dime a dozen. After all, it's a company's surefire way to sell millions rather than with a risky new IP; that is the nature of the business. Having said that, sequels to big games can be labours of love if given the time and care. Our early hands-on with Sony Santa Monica's magnum ...
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S Genre: First-Person, PvE, Co-Op Shooter, Hack And Slash Developed by Fatshark, Warhammer 40,000 Darktide, or Warhammer 40K Darktide, is a new online co-op action shooter game set in the gritty and dark Warhammer 40K universe. The best way to describe this game is probably Left 4 Dead in the Warhammer 40K univer...
We got hands-on with a demo for Electronic Arts and Koei Tecmo's first joint venture together, a revolutionary take on Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise Wild Hearts. In the demo, we got a little glimpse into the story but things that everyone's keen to hear about are the monsters or Kemono as they're dubbed in the game. When fighting the kemono ...
In 2016 and leading up to its release, Street Fighter 5 tainted everybody's perception of Capcom's meal ticket fighting game. It launched with less-than-usual features, was rushed out of the gate, and had terrible post-game content for 2 season's worth, at least for Street Fighter standards. Capcom fighting game guru Takayuki Nakayama and his te...
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S Genre: First-Person, Survival Horror, FPS, Biopunk, Horror, H.R. Giger Why is it so hard to make a good Alien game? And by Alien, I do mean Ridley Scott's Alien franchise and a huge reason why the franchise is so good is largely due to the contributions of the late H.R. Giger, who not only designed the iconic de...
There's a bit of the old Valkyrie Profile DNA laced within Square Enix's and developer Soleil's latest action RPG effort. Dubbed Valkyrie Elysium, the action title pits you as a new Valkyrie on the job to sort out affairs and monster problems in Midgard (Norse, not FFVII) while commanding a small group of Einherjars (dead warriors) as support. I...
2022 now has a medieval online battle fix that isn't called Chivalry 2. And it's from the same folks who gave us the Nier Replicant remake. Enter the aptly-named Warlander, a free-to-play multiplayer title that pits 40 players (and more) against each other in team-based combat and castle-sieging, but streamlined in a way that it feels great as a...
To say that Gameloft and Disney's latest Magic Kingdom-themed game is a clone of Nintendo's popular life simulation game Animal Crossing is a fair comparison. In Disney Dreamlight Valley, you are a random human being-turned-caretaker of Dreamlight Valley who is tasked with taking care of the namesake village, bringing Disney characters into your pl...
If you ever want to relive the fantasy of being in a game show where killing is mandatory and roller derby skills are of equal importance, you might be enticed by Roll7's latest indie offering. There are no two ways about it: Rollerdrome is basically 80s neon wave-fashioned Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Jet Grind Radio combined. But instead of attitu...
Courtesy of Sega and Relic Entertainment, we were given the opportunity to play a Company Of Heroes 3 demo featuring Mission Alpha, the very first mission of the North African Operation. It takes place at the start of Operation Theseus in January 1942 in Libya, when the Afrika Korps faction (DAK) tried to entrap Allied forces in an area between the...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Survival, ARPG, Crafting, Action V Rising is an early access, open world survival game from Swedish developers Stunlock Studios, best known for 2017's Battlerite. Their new game is basically an ARPG with survival and crafting mechanics, where you're a vampire. It's sort of like Valheim but with vampires but with a top-do...
Ever looked at your local college and campuses and go "hey, I can do a better job at managing this place than those deans can"? Well, Two Point Studios (ex-Bullfrog/Lionhead devs who made Theme Hospital and Fable) is giving us a chance to put money where our mouthes are with its upcoming comedy-laced simulation Two Point Campus. After 8 hours wi...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Strategy, Sandbox, Supply Lines Cantata is the rare game that I wish I would want to play more of. Let me explain; at its core, Cantata is a character-driven tactical strategy game that puts you in the middle of war for land and resources. You can play as a commanding officer from one of three factions; Humans, Machines o...
The first reveal of the Saints Row reboot could have gone better, to put it mildly. A lot of crime game/action adventure/ open world game fans cried out for blood over how "woke" Saints Row has become. To be fair, there wasn't much gameplay to gleam from previous trailers, but that didn't stop people from talking smack about it. That will probab...
Don't call it a full-fledged sequel to the 2016 hit multiplayer shooter just yet: Overwatch 2 right now feels like a transitional game than anything, as far as its beta form is concerned. With that in mind, I had a blast playing through hours of online matches. Keep in mind that this is just the second half of a promised sequel, since the beta only...
Grammarian Ltd is a game that could humble most people who thought they had a perfect grasp on grammar. Although its premise is really bizarre and specific, seriously niche doesn’t even cut it for this game, it does a pretty respectable job at educating despite the boring gameplay loop. Grammarian Ltd is set in a fictional world where the gram...
Since its Kickstarter years ago, the throwback RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has been generating quite a buzz among retro RPG fans from the 90s since it's basically the revival of the Suikoden franchise, in all but name & licensing. Of course, to start the journey proper, one needs an introductory game of sorts using bits and pieces ...

Brought to you by the combination that is Neople, Nexon, Arc System Works, and Eighting, this 2D fighting game combines anime fighting with one of Korea's popular MMOs that's basically a 2D brawler made online. And I must sa...
Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D roguelike firefighting platformer We're lacking quite a few firefighting games in 2021, so it's good that Thunderful Publishing and developer Dejima are on it with this unique 2D action title. Part platformer, and part roguelite with random levels and a progression system, Firegir...
Open-world zombie games were a thing of the past: see the Dead Rising series. But Techland is bringing it back with Dying Light 2, which adds parkour and paragliding into the mix. Oh, and also a day/night cycle, stamina bar-based climbing puzzles, and moral choices that affect the game's story. Here's a video we did featuring some lovely gamepla...
