9.12.2021
Don’t get me wrong, Red Dead Redemption II and Gun are fun and all. I certainly enjoyed my time with them, and I even still play Red Dead Online. But Call of Jaurez: Gunslinger, perhaps a better cowboy game than both of them (and most others), is now free on Steam for a limited time. And if...

Halo Infinite's Campaign Opening Is Awful
9.12.2021
For a game sold on its wide open spaces, player freedom, and great big sticky-up hexagons, Halo Infinite’s opening couple of hours couldn’t be much less representative.

6.12.2021
I love Dead Cells. The side-scrolling combat and platforming are tight, the art is impeccable, and its progression system and unlock curve are among the best I’ve ever seen. It feels like a near-perfectly designed game. In the three years since its release, it has become even better—and a more...
