This B-Movie-Inspired Action-RPG Looks Like An Anime Fan's Fever Dream
7.1.2022
Not often do video game trailers wed my love for cheesy B movies, anime references, and balls-to-the-wall action spectacles, but this upcoming action role-playing game might as well have lifted its premise from my fever dreams and brought them to life. Read more
Retro Horror Steam Shooter Nails That Unsettling Halloween Vibe
30.10.2021
Don’t let the highly stylized art fool you. The first-person shooter Forgive Me Father is unsettling because of its flat comic-book graphics, not in spite of them. At first, I was charmed by how the art style made the game feel like a distant cousin to Paper Mario. By the end of the second level,...
The Moment That Sold Me On Back 4 Blood, The New Shooter By L4D Devs
15.10.2021
Confession time: I’ve never played Left 4 Dead. I’m obviously aware of what Valve’s iconic shooter is all about—team up with friends and shoot zombies—and that a ton of players sucked it up like zombies feasting on cerebral miasma. Still, despite the game’s ubiquity, I just...never got around...
GTA Trilogy Remaster's Achievements Seem To Have Leaked, And They're Great
15.10.2021
Another day, another bit of information leaks out from Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. This time, dataminers have dug into files found in the Rockstar Games Launcher on PC and retrieved a full list of achievements players can attain in the remakes when they release later...
The Best Zombie Safe Room Notes In The Back 4 Blood Beta
9.8.2021
Back 4 Blood is a lot like Left 4 Dead. Both games feature first-person shootin’, online co-op action, and tons of zombies. Even the names are very similar! These similarities are completely by design as Turtle Rock Studios, the devs behind Back 4 Blood, are the same folks who developed...
Back 4 Blood Beta Players Think They Hear Zombies Yelling The N-Word
7.8.2021
Last night, while playing the Back 4 Blood beta on PS5, I was attacked by a large group of zombies. That’s not surprising; it happens all the time in the game. What was shocking was hearing a sound clip from one of the zombies that made it seem like it was yelling out a racial slur. Based on viral...

A Truly Messed Up Way To Get Infinite Supplies In Valheim
11.3.2021
You know how Valheim has spooky little mounds that spawn infinite enemies? And you know how you can use your hoe to move earth around and create, say, a pillar? And you know how it’s possible to surround that pillar with, say, campfires? And build, say, a fence around all of that? You can probably...
State Of Decay 2 Remembers Punching Nazis Is Good, Actually
26.2.2021
I think most of us can agree that punching Nazis is a good thing. Heck, a bunch of great video games are founded on that very premise. That’s why it was weird when a State of Decay 2 player discovered that the game gives characters a negative effect for having taken out the trash in their...
