Stray Falls Into The Usual Orientalism Pitfalls Of The Cyberpunk Genre

25.7.2022
If you’ve felt uncomfortable about the rice paddy hats in Stray, you aren’t the only one. Stray lifts Asian aesthetics to evoke exoticism and danger, but it doesn’t engage with the history of the city it appropriates. This is especially problematic because its real-world setting carries painful...

Stray’s Secret Weapon: A PR Campaign Unlike Any Other In Gaming

25.7.2022
My method for gauging a game’s popularity doesn’t hinge on parsing sales figures from NPD or concurrent player lists from SteamDB. Nope, my tell is pass-fail: whether or not my mom has texted me about it. Over the past week or so, my mother has asked me more about “the cat game” than any other game...

Replaying God Of War Ahead Of Ragnarök? Ignore The New Game Plus

7.7.2022
As the prophecies (aka, Sony’s vast marketing machine) foretold, Ragnarök is coming. Yesterday, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio announced a November release date for its upcoming action game God of War Ragnarök. Maybe you’ve found yourself itching to replay its predecessor, God of War. Over the past...

A Tiny Glimpse Of Hope For PS3 Emulation On PS5

4.7.2022
A new job ad, reported by PlayStation Lifestyle after being spotted on ResetEra, strongly suggests that Sony might be trying to hire an engineer to get its PS3 emulation sorted. There’s also rumor of getting old PS3 peripherals working on the new machine. Which would all be such a relief.Read more

The Hottest Game Of The Summer Has A Cheating Problem

28.6.2022
It’s like clockwork: A game comes out with a robust competitive component…and is instantly inundated by players who rocket to the top via nefarious, unsanctioned means—cheaters, in other words. The latest victim is Neon White, a multi-genre speedrunning game developed by Angel Matrix and published...

Everything Missing From This Year’s Not-E3

17.6.2022
Following last night’s back-to-back JRPG stream, not-E3 2022 is officially a wrap. It was a weird one this year. Bethesda finally showed off more than eight seconds of Starfield gameplay, four years after its initial announcement. Several prestigious studios announced remakes of cultural...

Neon White Really Is As Good As Everyone Says

16.6.2022
I played Neon White for all of three minutes before realizing I was in trouble. Whatever positive buzz you’ve heard about this game—that it’s a blast, that it’s unlike anything you’ve ever played, that it’s irresistibly, unabashedly cool—is probably on the money.Read more

The Last Of Us Remake Is Extremely Detailed, But Does It Matter?

14.6.2022
For their latest trick, the pixel-analyzing masters at Digital Foundry picked a hot-button item: The Last of Us Part I. Though the question at the core of Part I—does this need to exist?—is still very much in play, you can’t deny a glow-up when you see one.Read more

Everything Shown At Summer Game Fest’s Big Kickoff Event

9.6.2022
Summer Game Fest. Hot Geoff Summer. The Geoffening. Keigh3. Call it what you will, but despite a notable absence of E3 this year, the de facto high video game marketing season is nonetheless underway. Over the course of a streamed event that ran for two hours but felt like 2o, host Geoff Keighley...

Stray Won’t Show You The Cat’s Butthole (Probably)

8.6.2022
If there’s a cat in your house, how does it typically walk around? With its tail pointed straight up, probably—y’know, like any normal cat. But the feline protagonist of Stray is a bit more modest: He primarily keeps his tail down, at least based on gameplay footage viewed during a hands-off...
