For The Love Of God, Play Yakuza 0 Before The Amazon Show Drops
1.10.2024
I just finished Yakuza 0 last week, and I can safely say that it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. If you’ve ever wanted a game with far too many things to do, all of which are equally zany and good-natured, then this is the game for you. I’ve also got more than an inkling that it’ll...

1.10.2024
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be out next month. Ubisoft announced last week that the open-world RPG would be pushed to February 25 thanks to “soft” Star Wars Outlaws sales. The team says it will be using lessons learned to improve the game with those additional months, but what are...

The 11 Best Weapons In Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, And Where To Find Them
30.9.2024
In Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, you can use just about anything as a weapon. Because of this, a lot of the objects you can wield are joke items, there for the goofs, and don’t offer any true value. But amongst what you can pick up, there are a handful of weapons that stand out from the bunch.Read...

This week, Sony opened up pre-orders for the items in its 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5 collection, and for many at least, the experience of trying to snag anything was one of confusion and frustration. Also, we’ll tell you about a great arcade platformer called Bzzzt that’s now available...

26.9.2024
How do you follow up on some of the most critically acclaimed games of the past decade? Many thought that Nintendo couldn’t surpass the sheer open-world wonder and physics toy-box creativity that made The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild such a revelation. However, Nintendo seemed to do just...
Damn, God Of War Ragnarök’s Opener Still Whips
24.9.2024
I’ve been replaying God of War Ragnarök now that it’s on PC, and despite some clear, widespread technical issues with depreciating framerate, this is still fundamentally the same excellent sequel that launched on PlayStation in 2022. I put a few hours into the game again to test how it ran on...

Zelda-Inspired Plucky Squire Shows What Happens When A Game Doesn't Trust Its Players
19.9.2024
I really enjoyed The Plucky Squire, an action-adventure game in the vein of classic Legend of Zelda titles. It’s got not one, but two, whimsical art styles: one reminiscent of children’s picture books, and another in which the hero is presented as a miniature toy that comes to life in a child’s...
It’s Always A Good Time To Return To Return To Monkey Island
19.9.2024
Making a sequel to an amazing game is hard enough, but with each subsequent entry that task gets even harder. So while 1991's point-and-click adventure game Monkey Island 2 is seen as a stunning improvement over its predecessor, the more the series went on, the harder it was to recapture...

19.9.2024
If you played God of War: Ragnarok on PlayStation, then punctuating your declarations about how bloody marvelous it is, you will almost inevitably have cried, “STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!” For some reason, Ragnarok is absolutely convinced that you’re stuck, all the time, and has its characters...
We Tried To Review Funko Fusion But It Softlocked On Us 21 Times
18.9.2024
After finishing a frustrating boss fight in Funko Fusion against a never-ending stream of baddies in a grocery store, I was finally done with Hot Fuzz’s fourth level. I could move on. A cutscene played but the audio was missing. That happens a lot in this game. And then the final screen appeared...

Catch Up On The Life Is Strange Series For Cheap Ahead Of The Newest Game
17.9.2024
The Life is Strange series is a pretty odd one. At the time of the first game’s release, I wasn’t really aware that there was much interest in the goings-on of a bunch of teenagers in the Pacific Northwest. Boy, was I wrong, because nowadays Life Is Strange is a core franchise for Square Enix...

2000’s Digimon: The Movie is notorious for its complicated development, incredible ska and punk soundtrack, and the decades of memes that it spawned.
