Everyone and their Western RPG-loving mothers are looking forward to CD Projekt's latest sci-fi epic, Cyberpunk 2077, that's basically their version of the Shadowrun games. Which is a lovely thing. Seeing as it's from the folks who brought us the meticulous and expansive Witcher 3, you can expect the same level of detail in this title. Based on re...
Having witnessed the battle royale genre dominate the competitive FPS scene for a few years now, it came as a surprise to many when makers of League of Legends, Riot Games, decided to dodge the conventional and expected trajectory by instead, releasing their take on the hero shooter in the form of Valorant. Not-So-Fresh Recruit Simplified by ma...
If you've been eagerly anticipating the release of The Last Of Us Part 2, I'm sure you've already seen the eight minutes worth of new gameplay footage unveiled by Naughty Dog last week. With the review copy of the game, I've received the privilege of playing through the full section of the short sequence shown in that same footage. Lasting approxi...
Good news, speedrunning and Mirror's Edge first-person parkour fans. The trio dev/publisher team of OML Games, Slipgate Iron, and 3D Realms (yes, the Duke Nukem/Shadow Warrior folks) have released a demo of the slick-looking first-person cyber ninja title Ghostrunner. https://twitter.com/GhostrunnerGame/status/1258035164480970753 You can download...
The Gundam franchise recently celebrated its 40th-anniversary last year in 2019, having spawned an absurdly-impressive number of anime series in the past four decades. I've only ever been a fan of a select few of those (like the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam 00, and Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans), so jumping into Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. ...
Late last month, a friend of mine pointed out that I always placed an emphasis on the weapon feedback of a shooter. While our conversation didn't stray from the topic of shooters, I have a similar mindset towards action games or action-heavy games of any kind. If you're going to feature combat heavily in your game, you better make the act of hitti...
One look at Gears Tactics, the upcoming turn-based strategy game based on the Gears franchise, and the first thing that pops into your hardcore gaming mind is "XCOM". And maybe XCOM 2. I mean, just look... That statement isn't a knock at the upcoming Gears game from publisher Microsoft and developer Splash Damage at all. In fact, Gears Tactics ...
The 3rd of March is supposed to be the release date of the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Due to some extra polishing, the long-awaited title will take an extra month. Which is fine for fans, since they are used to waiting for Final Fantasy titles to drop. But a total refurbishing of a classic 1997 JRPG that made the genre incredibly mainstream? Based ...
For all of Blizzard's current faults with its PR mismanagement as of late, you cannot deny the fact that their past hits are polished as all-heck. Even with Diablo 3's rocky start online, the game itself was laid out well and eventually received a ton of improvements a year later, and it's still going strong. Even if their game is considered done,...
This short guide to Fire Emblem's latest expansion is still in development... Fire Emblem: Three Houses' latest DLC, Cindered Shadow, is now out in the wilds and available on the Nintendo Eshop. But what is it, really? Is it a side story? Is it part of the main campaign? Well, the answer's pretty easy: it's a side story you can play right off the...
If there's one thing I've learnt from playing Overcooked and its sequel, its that I am just not capable of working under pressure. Just when I thought I've had enough of culinary-themed games that test my patience, I find another and it just pulls me back in. Bake N' Switch is the latest title from Malaysian developer Streamline Studios. Prior t...
One of the great things about attending an event like Level Up KL 2019 is that I get to see a lot of interesting ideas and concepts in new games being made by developers in the Southeast Asia region. One of the more cuter ones I got to check out was Sushi Wildlands. Currently being developed by Singapore-based Mezmedia Studios, Sushi Wildlands p...
After many leaks and speculation, Overwatch 2 is finally announced to the joy of many. The sequel is basically the long-sought-after PvE content that many fans of the Blizzard shooter franchise have been clamouring for since 2016. After all, the game's many cinematics and Pixar-esque quality trailers did hint at a much broader storyline. This news...
Dank corridors with the virtual smell of death surrounding barbarians, sorceresses, and shapeshifting druids. Crimson rivers spiralling within randomly-generated dungeons and pitfalls. Innocents sacrificed for a greater evil that started the Diablo mythos. Large bosses falling apart in R-rated violent chunks. That's the Diablo IV experience in Bli...
Everyone knows how Saitama, the hero of One Punch Man, can KO even the biggest threat on Earth in what seems to be a subversion of the shonen anime trope. But how does one pull that off in a game without making it boring for players. Simple: just make sure his lackadaisical attitude puts his assigned team at a disadvantage, as evident in Bandai Na...
When you hear "shrinking ring" and "random gear and loot on map in buildings", you think PUBG or any other battle royale game in the market. And that's what Ubisoft is doing with the multiplayer mode for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, titled Ghost War. Yet somehow a few playthroughs of the game's new PvP mode prove that it's a possible cu...
Starting off at level 11, we thought our hour-plus experience in Obsidian's latest RPG The Outer Worlds would be way too much to cram into that short preview experience. And in some ways, that is true. The Outer Worlds require time to explore. Exploring the reaches of Monarch felt limited due to time constraints, but at least it gives many of us...
Nintendo strategy fans have one more week until they can get their hands on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Based on the most recent build of the game, the game is shaping up to be living up to its traditional turn-based combat mixed in with a huge number of elements from Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, at least when it comes to interacting w...
I'm not sure why Pagan Online, the latest action RPG from Wargaming and Mad Head Games, got a ninja Early Access release recently in Southeast Asia. Why wouldn't the publishers behind the successful World of Tanks games toot its own horn about breaking into a different genre of games? Perhaps it's due to the recent feedback the team got regarding ...
Our resident RPG guru Mr Toffee was disappointed with The Secret of Mana remake last year. It felt very cheaply-made, the added dialogue and story bits did not help elevate the source material, and it somehow made the 1992 original game superior. Based on what we've seen at E3 2019's Treehouse live stream, Square Enix is making amends with the tru...
