Once upon a time, retro collections were rapidly thrown together catalogues of old games. These were roms, and other than a menu connecting them together, nothing else had changed. Gone are the days. Capcom has another Fighting Collection on the way. A Tetris set is in the works too. This is awesome news. And I’m especially aware of it, because I’m working through the incredible Sonic Origins collection right now. First, Fighting Collection 2. Any set that includes the Power…

Concord, Firewalk Studios’ debut title on the PS5, is a hero-based shooter that offers a unique blend of character-driven gameplay and intense action. While it shows promise, it’s still navigating the competitive landscape and could benefit from a few refinements. The Good: Distinct Characters: Each character brings a unique playstyle to the table, ensuring variety and strategic depth. Engaging Story: The narrative, though still unfolding, offers a compelling backdrop for the action. Visually Appealing: The game’s graphics are impressive, ...

Star Wars Outlaws excels in its presentation. The game’s environments are beautifully rendered, capturing the iconic aesthetics of the Star Wars galaxy. From the bustling cityscapes of Mirogana to the desolate landscapes of Tosche Station, each location feels distinct and immersive. The vibrant color palette and attention to detail create a truly atmospheric experience. While the open-world exploration is enjoyable, the gameplay mechanics feel somewhat generic. Combat encounters, while visually impressive, lack the depth and variety that would ...

A demo of Epic Mickey Rebrushed is available today! A demo of Epic Mickey Rebrushed is available today on the Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox Series. I downloaded the demo and have played it a little bit.

Game Pass is getting restructured. First party games are leaving PlayStation Plus, and there’s no evidence they’re coming back. The grand experiment is over, and it looks like the glory days are gone. It was supposed to be a shake up on an industry that desperately needed shaking up. The traditional model of paying increasingly high amounts for increasingly safe and padded out video games was starting to feel hard to justify. Many of us were paying pennies for most…

Empty Shell is a top-down, roguelike survival horror game that casts players into a desolate, grayscale research facility. The game’s stark visual style, combined with its tense atmosphere and challenging gameplay, creates a unique and compelling experience. The game’s most striking feature is its black and white aesthetic. This choice not only adds a sense of eerie desolation but also emphasizes the isolation and danger of the environment. The monochromatic palette is used effectively to create a claustrophobic and oppressive…

Step into the shoes of a weary wanderer in Exhausted Man, a physics-based puzzle game that offers a humorous and relatable take on the mundane. This indie title invites players to navigate a world where even the simplest tasks become a herculean effort. The game’s premise is as straightforward as it is quirky: you play as a man who can only move by crawling or sliding. This limitation turns everyday activities into a series of challenges. From reaching a high…

People are talking about Final Fantasy XIII again. A vaguely worded Square Enix post on Twitter has fans discussing the possibility of a remake. But is it a trilogy that even needs a major revisit? XIII was an important game to me, for a variety of reasons some too personal to get into. But it was the first Final Fantasy game I’d covered as press. I was surprised people were so vehemently against it at the time, and especially because…
