Marvel Rivals Feels Like Overwatch Without All The Baggage

1.8.2024
I have over 1000 hours in Overwatch, but only about a dozen hours in Marvel Rivals, the megalithic comic makers’ attempt to cash in on Blizzard’s once-winning formula. In all the matches I’ve played in the game’s beta as the Guardians of the Galaxy leader Star-Lord alongside other heroes...

Flock Is This Summer's Best Chillfest

17.7.2024
As a New Yorker in my late twenties, it’s only a matter of time until I get into birding. Flock might be the thing that finally makes me take the plunge into the hobby. The new shepherding/creature collecting game from developer Hollow Ponds is full of color and life, inviting you to explore...

Zenless Zone Zero Is Stylish, Fun, And A Letdown

8.7.2024
Above all else, Zenless Zone Zero is beautiful to look at. HoYoverse’s latest action RPG gacha title, following 2020’s Genshin Impact and last year’s Honkai: Star Rail, has a lot much going for it, with a beautifully detailed world, characters, and animations. Underneath that style there is even...

Every Game We Played At This Year's Not-E3 Summer Game Fest Extravaganza

14.6.2024
Summer Game Fest, aka Geoff-con/Keighley-palooza, has come and gone. The E3 replacement included multiple online showcases and onsite events, each aimed at drumming up excitement for a flood of upcoming games. Which games rocked? Which ones sucked? Which ones will become video game industry...

Hands-On With Astro Bot: Pure Joy

12.6.2024
I can’t remember the last time I played a PlayStation game and felt this happy. I’ve loved plenty of first-party Sony games and their expensive melding of Hollywood cinematics, refined gameplay, and dense systems. Astro Bot is in many ways the antithesis of that. It’s no less refined, perhaps even...

Star Wars Outlaws Hands-On: Good Gameplay, Wonderful World

11.6.2024
Kay Vess, lovable scoundrel and star of Ubisoft’s upcoming action adventure game Star Wars Outlaws, has a data spike shoved through her ponytail like a number 2 pencil. Alongside Kay at all times is her adorable companion Nix, a Merqaal that can help her snag hard-to-reach objects or distract...

Destiny 2: The Final Shape's Campaign Is A Messy, Moving High School Reunion

5.6.2024
There is something about returning to many of Destiny’s previous locations, including the very first areas of the original game, that makes The Final Shape reek of high school. A lot has changed about the series in the ten years since our ghost first found us just outside of Old Russia. Moreover...

Great Combat Makes Wuthering Waves A Promising Alternative To Genshin Impact

29.5.2024
There’s nothing definitively wrong with being an iterative clone of something else people already love. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that. So I don’t really mind that on the surface, the new gacha open-world RPG Wuthering Waves looks to be a flattering copy of HoYoverse’s...

This Origami-Inspired Puzzle Game Is A Short And Sweet Adventure

23.5.2024
The first thing that will jump out to you when starting the new indie puzzle game Paper Trail is how damn good it looks. A gorgeous color palette, lovingly crafted characters and environments that look like an arts-and-crafts project, and an almost tangible feel to the visible fold lines on...

Don’t Miss This Stylish New Time-Bending Adventure

9.5.2024
One of my biggest gaming regrets was not playing Vanillaware’s time-travel narrative adventure 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim when it was released in 2019. Everybody around me kept telling me to just pick up the damn game and give it a try because they knew I would like it. I didn’t play it until 2023,...

I Played Fallout 76 All Weekend And Kind Of Loved It

23.4.2024
I finally caved. After years of being petitioned by my friends and spurred on by the new TV show, I spent this past weekend largely playing Fallout 76, Bethesda’s survival MMO based on the open-world RPGs. When it first launched in 2018, Fallout 76 couldn’t have had more working against it....

The Case For ‘Simple’ Games Like Content Warning

12.4.2024
In middle school—stop me if you’ve heard this before—I knew a group of guys that loved to do stupid, reckless shit. They likened themselves to the cast of Jackass, but it wasn’t good enough to do said stupid shit, like walking between train stations via the train tunnels. They needed to be able...

X-Men ‘97 Shows Marvel’s Mutants Never Go Out Of Style

21.3.2024
While Marvel’s mutants have had their highs and lows throughout the many decades they’ve been around, one thing remains constant: the X-Men are timeless. That’s not because of the cool costumes and inventive powers the cast has. It’s because at their core, X-Men’s themes of prejudice and humanity’s...

Helldivers 2 Feels Like A PS3 Game In A Very Good Way

13.2.2024
Arrowhead Game Studios’ third-person co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has had a rough launch. It’s been plagued with server issues, progression problems, and more, and after several rapid fixes failed to fix things, studio CEO Johan Pilestedt issued an apology to players.Read more

Suicide Squad’s First 12 Hours Include Great Action, But A Lot Of Filler

1.2.2024
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League isn’t the game a lot of Arkham fans wanted. It’s also yet another live-service video game, something that folks are less and less excited about with each passing year. And it’s not had great previews or trailers. But, I’ve enjoyed Rocksteady’s past games a...
