There is some exciting virtual reality (VR) titles on their way in 2022, from multiplayer shooters to puzzle adventures. To mark the start of the new year indie developer GIB Games has released a brand new trailer for its upcoming murder mystery project The Callisto, due to arrive this Spring. Originally premiering at the Game […]

I love NFTs. Who doesn’t simp for jpegs of ugly primates and minimalist pixel avatars I could whack together in MS Paint over the course of a few minutes? What’s that you say? Everyone? Well then. I’m all about my tokens not being fungible, especially when it comes to needless crypto scams nestling their way […]

Look, I'm really sorry everybody. Either you've been keeping up with gaming news over the holidays and are therefore sick of everybody and their grandma's dog having an opinion on Square Enix's new year's letter, or this is the first you're hearing it and I'm welcoming you into 2022 with a firm custard pie to […]

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a game defined by loss. Shinra Corporation is ridding the planet of its natural resources and dooming it to an early grave, all while citizens are forced to either abide by its corporate whims or doom themselves to squalor in slums crammed beneath megacities designed to forget everyone but those […]

Happy Sunday, and Happy New Year gamers. It's that time of the day, for the first time this year, that we take a look at the biggest news of the day. We're two days into 2022 but that hasn't stopped the news from flowing. From rumours that GoldenEye 007 might be making its way over […]

Persona 5 is one of the games I have written about the most this year, which is pretty surprising when you consider that a) it came out five years ago and b) I’m not even sure I liked it that much. However, right at the start of 2021, Persona 5 Strikers came out and completely […]

I don’t really do the whole hype thing. I know some decent games came out last year, but all in all I don’t think it was a very good one for gaming. I’ve already written about this idea – a great year has to be above average, so by definition, not all years can be […]

Knock knock. What's that? Oh, it's 2022 about to kick down your door and hit you with the undeniable truth that 2021 is over and that time's arrow marches forward. Enough about that existential dread – let's talk hot takes. Here on TheGamer, we have the hottest takes possible. So while you're avoiding that end-of-year […]

The Matrix Resurrections is basically The Matrix (the first one) done all over again, at least for the first half. It’s ‘let’s try that one more time with feeling’. It’s a movie that bubbles with meta resentment in the best possible way, and doesn’t just add to the canon of The Matrix, it offers a […]

A lot of games get sold on their pulse-pounding action or their deep, lush stories. This year, we guided Master Chief around yet another Halo and took on evil Nazis in Call of Duty: Vanguard. However, underneath those big, bold, brassy games and their dozens of hyped-up brethren, was another, much stranger sub-genre that kicked […]
