Off The Grid Is An Average Shooter Buried In Garbage
18.7.2025
I was called a “regurgitated cum bubble” within the first minutes of booting up Gunzilla’s free-to-play battle royale shooter, Off The Grid. And the crass insult wasn’t shouted by another player, but by an obnoxious soldier dude who is the game’s announcer. Things only got worse and weirder from...

Destiny is a game about orbs. It began with a giant orb (The Traveler) hovering over the last city on earth in a post-apocalyptic near future. The main thing you do in the sci-fi MMO is shoot enemies to get loot, which they leave behind in various colored orbs. Most raids involved at least...

BioWare's Maligned Loot Shooter Anthem Will Go Offline Forever Next Year
3.7.2025
BioWare’s doomed looter shooter may have had some neat aesthetics and was a competent-enough action RPG when it wanted to be, but as we all know well by now, it was a complete disaster for the devs and publisher EA. While a planned reboot of the game was canned and everyone who’s played the game...
This Pride Month, Overwatch 2 Made Good On A Years-Old Promise
30.6.2025
I’ve been playing Overwatch since 2019. I finally jumped into Blizzard’s hero shooter after the release of Bastet, a short story following the medic sniper Ana and old man vigilante Jack “Soldier: 76” Morrison, which confirmed the broody ex-Overwatch leader was once in a long-time relationship with...

The Best Class For Last Epoch’s Second Season Is A Time-Warping, Hammer-Swinging Powerhouse
28.5.2025
Everyone plays ARPGs differently. And in Last Epoch, it can take a player anywhere from 25 to 50 hours to fully delve into all of the game’s mechanics and reach the endgame. For that journey, you’re likely to stick with a single class instead of swapping between characters. For Season Two—Tombs...

Artist Shocked To Find Her Poster Designs From 2017 In Bungie's Marathon: 'A Major Company Has Deemed It Easier To Pay A Designer To Imitate Or Steal My Work Than To Write Me An Email'
15.5.2025
One of the most striking things about Bungie’s Marathonis its presentation. The sci-fi extraction shooter combines bleak settings with bright colors in a way that makes it feel a bit like a sneaker promo meets Ghost in the Shell, or as designer Jeremy Skoog put it, “Y2K Cyberpunk mixed with Acid...
