I Played Sonic Frontiers And I Still Don’t Get It


We’re at a new turning point in Sonic’s 30-year history. The cult favorite gaming mascot is once again a mainstage attraction, besting Sony’s Uncharted at the box office and spawning a new Netflix series. And after making the jump from side-scrolling platformer to 3D soap opera, the series is...

Three Hopes Is The Most Exciting Fire Emblem In Years


Despite public cynicism about musou games, which seem like straightforward hack-and-slash fests against armies of faceless foes amid chaotic battlefields, I’ve long felt that this style of gameplay could bring out Fire Emblem’s best war-simulating potential. Two months ago, I wrote about how Fire...

Steam Breakout V Rising Is A Stellar Survival RPG


I have complicated feelings about the modern vampire story. Violence is cheap. Tasty humans are plentiful. And skyscrapers provide ample shelter from the sun. The sanctity of human life doesn’t mean much to creatures that will kill people over a simple meal. It can feel powerful to be so...

Old World Is The Best New 4X Game In Years

Crusader Kings III Is Even Better In 2022

Ghostrunner Is Actually The Fall’s Sharpest Cyberpunk Game


Ghostrunner is a lean-forward game. You know the position: When the going gets tough, anything short of absolute focus won’t cut it, so you lean forward, elbows on thighs, in order to close the distance between your eyes and the TV as much as possible. With a lean-forward game, the going is always...

Call Of The Sea Is A Welcome Reprieve From All My Recent Video Game Murdering


There have been a lot of harsh, dour video games this fall. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla centered on conquest and amputation. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War featured history’s most cynical dirtbag. Cyberpunk 2077 is Cyberpunk 2077. If it’s all been a lot to stomach, consider a change of pace:...

Third-party cookies are set on your computer from domains other than the one that you're actually on right now. For example, if I log into css-tricks.com, I'll get a cookie from css-tricks.com that handles my authentication. But css-tricks.com might also load an image from some other site. A common...

To The Moon's Sequel Feels Just A Bit Too Familiar


It’s been six years since everybody cried playing To The Moon, an indie narrative game about venturing into a dying man’s memories to fulfill his final wish. A lot has changed, especially in the world of independent game development. Sequel Finding Paradise, however, picks up right where To...
