Older gamers will remember playing a lot of classic side-scrolling beat-em-ups and brawlers back in the day before the advent of better tech took the gaming world by storm and introduced us to fully-realized 3D worlds. Thanks to developers like WayForward, we can still get those same games albeit with modern trappings. That's where River City Girl...
No one expected Naughty Dog's Crash Team Racing for the PS1 in 1999 to be a genuine rival to Nintendo's legendary Mario Kart franchise, at least in Asia. But it definitely was, to the point where it was arguably even better than 1996's Mario Kart 64. Now, two decades later, Activision and Beenox give us the remake we all wanted with Crash Team Rac...
Any game that starts with a pitch that goes "You play as a samurai..." is already enough to convince a lot of folks. Katana Zero takes that pitch and slaps on a bunch of other really cool video game ideas. The premise is simple and cool. You play as a samurai assassin called The Dragon. It all starts out with you doing what you do best but the s...
As time goes by, it becomes more difficult to make an impressive horror game. It's one of those genres that heavily relies on a select number of tropes and cliches but Devotion manages to make a modern horror game that will stick in the minds of those who play it. Developed by Taiwanese studio Red Candle Games, Devotion tells the tragic story of...
This is part 2 of our 6-parter Best Games of 2019 video, where we select 30 of this year's finest. We now talk about #6 to #10. https://youtu.be/OhazguothVk...
What happens when you combine the anime-tinged dating sim mechanics of the Persona series with the isometric grid and turn-based combat of XCOM or Final Fantasy Tactics? You get Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the latest instalment of the long-running JRPG franchise exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. Players assume the role of a professor at an acad...
Capcom is going through a resurgence, renaissance or comeback of sorts after an entire generation of mediocre games. They started bouncing back with 2017's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and continued that streak with 2018's Monster Hunter World. In 2019 alone, they gave us Devil May Cry 5 and this brilliant remake of 1998's Resident Evil 2. While I n...
Luigi has always played second fiddle to his more heroic and popular brother, Mario. However, this year he received his own game starring role in a game again, after more than half a decade since 2013's Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Luigi's Mansion 3 came out on Halloween day, and it's basically a Ghostbusters game with the quirks and charm of the N...
There's always something sublime about having a fighting game return to form while also injecting something new in a competitive scene. The 2019 version of Samurai Shodown does just that with a ton of swordplay and with raw power. What it lacks in esports tailoring and flair -like with Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 these days- it makes up for it b...
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown successfully revived a genre long-lost in the steady stream of mindless battle royales and MOBAs saturating the market; the arcade flight sim. It’s been a whopping 12 years since the last major instalment in the Ace Combat franchise, let alone any other lesser-known arcade flight sim franchises. Ace Combat is ess...
After releasing stellar action titles like Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Nier: Automata, how else can PlatinumGames top themselves? Simple: just add a JoJo Stand; as an additional character to mix up your attacks, put your game in a sci-fi police setting, and keep in a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Quirky and charming characters, oddities like toilet pape...
A true adventure has to incorporate elements of exploration. One of the reasons why we love video games is because they let us explore places and time periods that aren't accessible to us in reality. Outer Wilds is a game that nails that feeling of exploration. A lot of games try to create the experience of discovering something new through the...
As time goes by, it becomes harder and harder to create something original. The act of surprising people in video games takes a lot of effort and creativity. Now imagine a game that surprises consistently for at least an entire hour. What the Golf? does exactly that. Describing the premise of What the Golf is easy. You win by hitting the ball a...
Unflinchingly brutal, yet rewarding. That is Sekiro in a nutshell. It doesn't compromise on its vision to be an action game that centres around a more fragile depiction of a shinobi; a stark contrast to the Xbox iteration of Ninja Gaiden where it's a different kind of hard. And truth be told, I am a fan of the flash and huge weapon selection. Yeah...
It's only a month or so left until it's 2020. So what better way to celebrate these next few weeks than with every video game news site's favourite activity: vanity project features where we talk about our favourite gaming things of 2019? To which we say "let's take things up a notch." We can't just pick one game of the year: there are way too man...
