Human: Fall Flat VR takes the already endearingly clumsy physics-based platformer and catapults it into the realm of virtual reality, resulting in a hilarious, frustrating, and ultimately rewarding experience. The game’s unique blend of slapstick comedy and challenging puzzles is perfectly suited for VR, offering a level of immersion and interaction that elevates the original experience. A World of Wonky Physics The core gameplay loop of Human: Fall Flat remains intact in its VR iteration. Players control a ragdoll-like character…

Is Dragon Age’s Lack of DLC a Good Thing?
Bioware’s latest Dragon Age is out, and it’s good. Critics have called it a return to form for a series that’s lacked form for a long time. It won’t be getting DLC. Is this a good thing? I’ve seen all the celebrating that The Veilguard won’t get DLC. I’ve seen the five word paragraphs that celebrate the return to a day where a good game could exist in isolation. Buy it full price, finish it, move on. Gone are those…

Read MoreRemasters, Re-releases and Sonic
We booted up the new version of Sonic Generations this morning, and it was a blast. In fact, it was exactly the same blast it was when we played it on PC 12 months ago. That’s not strictly true. There are some new bits, some re-recorded lines of dialogue. New things can be found. Places that had slowdown, even on a fairly beefy PC, don’t have slowdown in the newly released version of the game. All of these are pretty…

Read MoreReal Yakuza Use a Gamepad
What’s the most innocent thing you’ve ever seen annoy the maximum amount of people? This is the internet, so I’m guessing we all have our examples. Here’s my latest find: the outpouring of grief over “Real Yakuza Use a Gamepad”. For those not in the know, that makes up most of a splash screen that shows at the start of every Yakuza game on PC. It’s a hint that if you try and play with a keyboard and mouse, you…
Read MoreUnreal! – Why Are Developers Clinging to Just One Engine?
The Unreal Engine has problems. On console it’s often running at sub-1080p resolutions, and stuttering is an issue across the board. Is it time for developers to start looking at other options? It’s getting to be less and less of a surprise when a major video game franchise suddenly announces it’s going to be running on Unreal from here on out. Halo is the latest to fall, ditching its own engine and instead building future titles in Epic’s software instead.…
Read MorePlaying Games Wrong and Breaking the System
I’ve started playing games wrong, and I’ve got to say it’s feeling pretty right. This won’t be a new idea to some people, especially those who’re deep into achievements. But it’s something I recommend for everybody, if only to shake things up at a time when games aren’t spending much time rewriting the rules. The biggest games are so slick now. You barely have to play them. They put the maximum amount of energy into making everything look epic and…

Read MoreGames Are Getting Too Damn Big
Death Stranding 2 has a photo mode that will influence the way the story plays out. It also has in-game concerts. The attention to detail is incredible. But come on Kojima, I have a life. Games are getting too damn big. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since March. It’s one of the best games of the generation and I don’t see that changing. But its need to completely dominate my free time is frustrating. I’ve enjoyed every single…
