I’m not entirely sure if I would describe Returnal as a complicated game that simplifies things well, or a simple game that needlessly overcomplicates things. It has a twisting and unsettling story, one that is fed to you in meagre breadcrumbs and at a slow enough pace that you feel like you’re always learning… at […]

I Wish Other Franchises Were As Committed As Fast & Furious
I’m not a Fast & Furious fan, and sometimes I get a little jealous of people who are. The only Fast & Furious movie I’ve ever seen is Tokyo Drift, which as I understand it is looked upon as the weird cousin in the Fast & Furious family. And nothing is more important than family, […]
Dark Souls’ The Bed Of Chaos Is The Worst Boss Battle Ever
Dark Souls is one of my favourite games of all-time, but I’ll be the first to admit it has its fair share of bullshit. Lordran is a bitterly evil place, one that will kill you time and time again before your eventual triumph. Even when this victory has been achieved, it remains unclear if you’ve […]
I Don’t Want To Go Back To Peter Parker In Spider-Man 2
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales improves upon the original Marvel’s Spider-Man in a lot of ways. The side quests are more interesting, the pacing is a lot better, and even the web-swinging is more energetic and engaging. The biggest change, of course, is Miles’ new stealth and venom powers. Peter and Miles are very different Spider-Men […]

Sora’s classic look (including his big yellow clown shoes) is back through a recent Kingdom Hearts 3 mod on Nexus. Created by Sirtophatsnake, this mod lets players play as Sora’s younger self through the entirety of Kingdom Hearts 3.

A PlayStation China Showcase Is Scheduled Next Week
PlayStation will be offering China a showcase on April 29 to give launch information on the PS5 for the region and a potential look at new games. The live stream will, unfortunately, be only offered through Chinese streaming sites, according to Siliconera, leading to the idea that this won’t be a major factor for western […]
I want to skip ahead to all games having both cross-save and cross-play
The gaming industry is in an incredibly awkward place right now, stuck between the old system of selling hardware by pushing exclusives, and the new reality of players expecting their entertainment to travel with them across different platforms. Today, the walls between the PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC gaming ecosystems have never been thinner, but […]
I Hope WWE 2K22 Is The Reboot This Franchise Seriously Needs
The WWE 2K games have never been good. Sure, they’ve bordered on passability once or twice, but ever since the PS2 days, wrestling games have basked in a pool of mediocrity that they almost seemed determined to remain in. The franchise has only worsened in recent years, culminating in the complete cancellation of 2K21 due […]
