After moving away from location-based entertainment (LBE) content and into the home consumer market, developer Joy Way has started making a name for itself with parkour title Stride. Recently, the studio has revealed work on an upcoming rhythm-action videogame which certainly takes a much more gruesome approach to the genre. Currently, an unnamed prototype, the […]
A Sequel Could Actually Work For Fire Emblem: Three Houses Without Only One Path Being Canon
Considering that Fire Emblem: Three Houses was by far the most successful game in the series, there is real opportunity for expansion on this game, aside from the DLC. Though there are many fans that are looking for remakes of older games, I’d rather see a brand new game that builds on the stories and characters from […]
New Pokemon Snap Is Proof That Gen 9 Is Going To Be Huge
I’ve said this a thousand times before, but any non-mainline Pokemon game is an experiment. It’s an experiment in form, in presentation, and usually in fundamental structure, and it’s designed to inform whatever generation is due to launch after it. The most recent example of this was the way in which Let’s Go Eevee & […]
The Best Thing About Red Dead Online Is The Fashion
I’ve played through Red Dead Redemption 2 three times now, and Arthur Morgan might just be my favourite new character of the last decade. There’s so much to love about him, whether that’s the way he roots for the outsiders, his complex sensitivity, or Roger Clark’s sublime performance. I love it all. I even – […]
Shadow of the Colossus Review: A timeless PlayStation masterpiece, now in 4K on PS4 Pro
Shadow of the Colossus is, in our mind, probably one of the defining games of the PlayStation 2 era. Although that big black box might be more fondly remembered for more bombastic games like Metal Gear Solid 2, GTA: San Andreas or Final Fantasy 10, it says quite a lot that Sony has seen fit […]
The best RPG you’re not playing
Despite being originally released in 2017, Divinity: Original Sin II feels strangely like one of gaming’s best-kept secrets. To anyone outside of the medium, it’s a collection of words and a number that make it feel unwelcoming. Those who’ve played it, however, can talk about it for hours on end. Set in a world where […]
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Review: A fun reboot obsessed with the grim & nasty
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's campaign launches with the gut-punch of a suicide bomber striding out into the middle of Piccadilly Circus, an area I used to travel through every day. It's a grim opening that clearly communicates what Activision has been trying to market: a gritty technothriller that presents an unflinching look at warfare […]
Observation Review: Sci-Fi Cinema Intertwined with Brutal Puzzle Gameplay
When the starting credits first rolled for Observation, there was something euphoric about watching it. It felt as though it should have been the start of a film in the cinema, but instead of simply being a passive observer (see what I did there?), Observation wanted to hand you the reigns. And boy, do you […]
First Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall Gameplay Revealed, Arrives Summer 2021
After its initial reveal back in October 2020, developer Carbon Studio has stayed fairly quiet on the progress of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall. If you’ve been eager to hear more, this week the studio has released a new cinematic trailer, some very brief gameplay footage and narrowed down the launch window. The first trailer […]
Tennis World Tour 2 won’t be the sports game fans want on PS5 and Xbox Series X
A good tennis game is hard to find and sadly Tennis World Tour 2 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X isn’t a match winner. This game came out last year on the older consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One, to relatively average reviews. Little seems to have changed and what you get with the […]
