To an extent, all types of action games are a fight between your stubbornness to continue and the seemingly insurmountable challenge in front of you. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty simply makes that sensation–your inherent determination to keep going–into its core mechanic using an in-game system to tie its challenge to …

Publisher Electronic Arts is bringing back Dead Space with a full remake, which is being developed by Motive Studio. From what we’ve seen, this new Dead Space seems to follow the original 2008’s game plotline and gameplay pretty closely. There are a few notable changes though, especially to how protagonist …

Read More »Marvel's Midnight Suns Final Hands-On Preview
So far, I really enjoy Marvel’s Midnight Suns, having now played about 15 hours of Firaxis Games’ tactical RPG, which pulls inspiration from the developer’s XCOM games. Removing XCOM’s frustrating percentage system–which could cause even the most well-planned strategies to inexplicably fail–makes the turn-based tactical combat in Midnight Suns a …

I love Catalyst a lot, and it very well could be the recency bias talking, but she’s my favorite of the new playable characters added to Apex Legends during the battle royale’s fourth year.

Deep Rock Galactic Season 3 is just around the corner, scheduled to kick off this November. The new season adds biome-altering special effects to Hoxxes IV, as well as brand-new grenades and a new activity waiting to be discovered down within the monster-filled mines. Ahead of the start of Season …
Read More »Apex Legends' Catalyst Probably Won't Shake Up The Meta, But She's The Type Of Defender We Need More Of
Respawn is absolutely spoiling me, releasing two incredible defender legends within the span of half a year. I’ve already spoken at length as to why I love Season 13’s Newcastle for how his ability kit supports players who aren’t that good at first-person shooters still enjoy a fast-paced game like …
Read More »The Callisto Protocol's Strength Seems To Lie In Its Satisfying Combat, Not Scares
Despite looking a whole lot like the spiritual successor to Dead Space, I was surprised by how little The Callisto Protocol terrified me. The setting and enemy designs are certainly unnerving but in a way I’ve seen before, and there is a sense of comfort in that familiarity. The Callisto …
