One of the signs that gaming is growing up is when you have two games so totally different vying for people’s attention this November. God of War and Pentiment couldn’t be any more different – but expect a lot of chat about them going forward. That’s not to say they should be compared, although inevitably they will be. But with both games now gold, and almost ready to be played, there’s a good chance that Game of the Year talks…

Octopath Traveler 2 is coming to the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and PS5 early next year. A new trailer has been released for the game. Check it out below along with our thoughts on the game. Octopath Traveler 2 is coming out on February 24, 2023. The newest trailer shows off two of the game’s characters and some new ways to travel too! The first Octopath Traveler was a good game. The second one looks even better! The graphics look…

Like all good addicts, I’m still knee-deep into my return to Overwatch 2. That’s giving me a long time to consider the battle pass, and just how much it takes out of the game. I’ve done the review. I’ve spent a decent amount of time with new – or newish – characters. It is, as it always way, a bloody good game. So why is the monetization so bloody bad? The battle pass takes a key part of the first…

If there has been one sign that the console wars have grown up, it’s this. We no longer argue about lists of games. Instead, we argue over corporate decisions. Nowhere has that been more obvious than in the conversation about Game Pass’s profitability. Game Pass wasn’t sustainable. Then it wasn’t good for the industry. Then it was both, but it wasn’t profitable. Now, thanks to a new interview with Xbox’s Phil Spencer, we know that it is profitable. Which is…

Everybody’s favourite bird/robot combination has returned to Overwatch – but Bastion is not as you remember him. The famously tough little robot can no longer heal, and his high damage gun is now a temporary move. In some ways this feels like a nerf – especially when you’re surrounding by Tracers and Sombras – but in others it opens him up as a very different charcacter. If the unfortunately missing Assault was still in the mix – and I hope…

Resident Evil Re:Verse still exists and, well, that’s news to me. The multiplayer game, which has been delayed twice, will be free to owners of Village from October 28th. The multiplayer mode for Village was met with skepticism when it was announced nearly two years ago. That was only increased when it was delayed from May 7 – alongside Village – to Summer, and then again to a vague 2022. Well, surprise surprise, it’s still coming in 2022. In fact,…

Game Pass has always been great, but it’s got to the point where it’s now also impossible to keep up with. This is a fantastic problem to have. For an average adult with broad tastes, Game Pass has now tipped the scales from very cool to overwhelming. And with a mountain of first-party content expected in the first half of next year, that’s a problem that’s going to remain with us for months to come. This thought occurred to me…

The first major content update to Disney Dreamlight Valley is now available. Check out the announcement trailer and our thoughts on the update so far! The Scar’s Kingdom Update is here! I’ve been checking out the update some already. I haven’t met Scar yet, I still have some quests I need to complete before I do, but I have seen the new mine in Sunlit Valley. There is also a new event you can access using moonstones! Its the Villains…

VR was going to be the next big thing, but it has never happened. Cost became prohibitive, “must-have” software is limited. And with the announcement of the Meta Quest Pro, it seems the best is becoming increasingly out of reach. This is not good. This tech isn’t cheap, and the Quest Pro is not aimed at your average gamer. But it’s not a good look for an area of the industry that has been on the edge of greatness for…

Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the biggest games this year. Its Animal Crossing meets Disney and I am such a fan of it. The first major update is coming for the game very soon. Let’s talk about it! Disney Dreamlight Valley’s first major update is coming on October 19th. The update will include a new character, Scar from the Lion King and a new star path. Other things, like bug fixes and a new camera update, have been hinted…
