The Age of Broken AAA Videogames

The process of making a videogame is one of the most complicated processes that a person or a team can endure. These things take so much coordination, communication, and money that it's a miracle we even get them in the first place.

Why I'm Excited for Alan Wake 2

Thanks to my wife introducing me to the Resident Evil franchise, I found myself falling in love with the horror genre. Finishing a scary game offers a unique sense of accomplishment and immense satisfaction a feeling other games couldn't quite capture.

Street Fighter 6

Can you believe that the last mainline Street Fighter game was all the way back in 2016? Sure, Street Fighter V had numerous rereleases and an abundance of content added over the years, but it didn't have the strongest of starts.

ArcRunner - Tips & Tricks

So I've been playing a lot of ArcRunner lately, and I've been learning more and more about the game and how to get better at it, and I want to share it to the world! So, here are some tips and tricks on how to beat ArcRunner.

Game Over: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

In all my years of playing Nintendo games, The Legend of Zelda series has been a bit of a mystery to me, and it wasn't until the franchise broke free from its shackles and embarked on a new adventure that I was finally able to sink my teeth into it. So while longtime fans may lament this breaking conventions mindset, I actually find it refreshing, and I feel like the developers at Nintendo were reaching out to people like me who found the older titles uninviting. This attempt at an open world and more freeing Zelda game is, of course, seen in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. This was my first Zelda game, and I've put way too much time into it, but that's due to its sprawling landscapes, genius physics system, gorgeous visuals, and player freedom. I've played it multiple times now, and after the latest gameplay showcase for Breath of the Wild's sequel - Tears of the Kingdom - I decided to jump back into the world of Hyrule and fall in love all over again with the experience. It's not my first rodeo, more like my fourth or fifth.

My Journey to 100% Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

I've always been a fan of souls-like titles: the challenge, the gameplay, the glorious feeling of completing the game - it all appeals massively to me. So, naturally, on release, I bought and played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice through... as much as I could. Fight as I may, and after easily hundreds of deaths, the final boss - Sword Saint Isshin, because I'm not a corrupt shura player beat the crap out of me repeatedly.

Hidden Gem: Haven Park

After I had the pleasure of playing and 100%ing A Short Hike, I've been fortunate to find some titles that bring back that same sense of relaxing adventure, where you explore a place that means a lot to the protagonist. The newest title to fit the bill is Haven Park - a charming game that surprisingly has only 463 reviews.

Dead Island 2

From publisher Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studios, Dead Island 2 releases later this month on the 21st of April. The original Dead Island came out back in 2011, with the latest in the franchise launching in the yesteryear of 2014. Suffice to say, fans of the franchise have been waiting a while for this sequel.

Mato Anomalies

Futuristic neo-noir games like Mato Anomalies are quite common to see, ranging from Deus-Ex, to Katana Zero, to Blade Runner, but a mix between a visual novel, a turn-based RPG, and a deck-building card battler is more unique.

World's Worst Handyman

I will admit that I thought that World's Worst Handyman was a different sort of game to what it is. I imagined something like Surgeon Simulator; but what I got was something more akin to Moving Out mixed with Hello Neighbor. It was probably just me misreading the description, but I certainly wasn't disappointed.

Shadows of Doubt

What's it called when you smoosh cyberpunk and noir together? Noirpunk? Whatever it's called, Shadows of Doubt pulls it off perfectly in this first-person open-world mystery game from developer ColePowered Games. Actually, the developer says \"sci-fi noir\", and I can see why they'd want to keep this game divorced from the term cyberpunk.

God of Rock

God of Rock is a competitive rhythm fighting game developed and published by Modus Games, where the God of Rock has gathered the universe’s greatest musicians into a tournament, and the grand prize is whatever they desire most
