Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Preview
On May 15, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings another packed roster of games to players seeking harder-to-find titles from Capcom’s storied decades of fighting games. Broadly speaking, any effort to bring games that had a limited release or are otherwise nearly impossible to acquire legally (without deep pockets, of course) is welcome. Capcom’s efforts over the past few years to breat...[Read More]
Legends of Awen: Rise of the Fianna Preview
Much like Breath of the Wild altered the notion of what an open-world game could be, Baldur’s Gate 3 transformed many’s understanding of RPGs. Larian created an impossibly high bar, especially in regards to actualizing the “role” aspect of a role-playing game. It wasn’t enough to allow the player to make a spectrum of dialog choices that may influence events and chara...[Read More]
Towers of Aghasba Early Access Preview
Crafting games are often only limited by the creativity of players and the flexibility of developers. At some point, Minecraft was no longer just Mojang’s creation and instead a product of the millions of creatives who unlocked its potential. I see players who have farmed in Stardew Valley as long as hardcore raiders in World of Warcraft. A sense of unbridled freedom is a big ask, especially...[Read More]
BioWare’s Magic is Back with Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Hands-On Preview
The palpable weight riding on the back of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is bound to seep into most discussion about the game until it finally releases on October 31. In the days and weeks after launch, fans and critics will decide on whether or not The Veilguard is a worthy successor to 2014’s Dragon Age: Inquisition, a long absence for a series that ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger. More note...[Read More]
Concord Preview: Polishing a Rough Gem
After two Beta weekends and about 20 hours of playtime, there is a Concord-shaped hole in my heart. And I think there are few better compliments one can give to a game than wanting to spend even more time with it, especially after a worthy binge. But I’m uncertain if even the full version of Concord will ultimately be able to satiate that yearning. Last December, I dived into the Closed Alph...[Read More]
Pacific Drive Preview
Pacific Drive’s opening hours were rife with familiarity. A strange sensation considering I’ve never before played a game where a station wagon is driven through a freakishly distorted Pacific Northwest. There was, of course, echoes of Control’s dalliances with ordinary objects possessing otherworldly properties. Half-Life’s disastrous resonance cascade reminded me of the realities of the Olympic ...[Read More]
Soulstice – Preview (#2)
A few months back, we did our first Soulstice preview and had a good time with the game. It started us in the later stages of the first part of the title giving us part of a first act to comprehend. This time around, we backed up a bit further to see the origin (well, a bit of it) of our two sisters, Briar and Lute, and were propelled much further than the first experience. While it didn’t fully c...[Read More]
Lifting the Fog from Ghostwire: Tokyo
Ghostwire: Tokyo has remained elusive since its slick, stylish E3 2019 debut. In the three years that have followed, the handful of moments where Tango Gameworks’ first non-The Evil Within game has appeared did little to lift the veil. This is from the studio founded by Shinji Mikami, the name behind Resident Evil. It looks steeped in Japanese folklore and horror. And the main character̷...[Read More]
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes Preview
Supermassive’s The Dark Pictures Anthology has offered a myriad of stories for fans of any subgenre of horror. Body horror, witches, serial killers, you name it. Even though there’s something for every horror fan, there’s one subgenre I’ve been highly anticipating: action horror. Movies like Predator (1987) and Aliens (1986) have been some of my favorites for as long as I can remember, so I was pl...[Read More]
Trackmania Preview
Being only a casual fan of racing games, I’m very much new to the Trackmania series. Despite several installments being released since 2003, none of them have ever come up on my radar, which might be due to the fact that they are primarily PC games. If I’m going to be behind the wheel of a virtual vehicle, it’s usually on the run from cops in Need for Speed or tearing up the pave...[Read More]
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint: Episode 2 Early Impressions
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint needed Episode 2. Since release the game has suffered a kind of identity crisis for many players. At release, I was was one of the few reviewers who enjoyed the game for what it was attempting to accomplish, including merging several ideas implemented across Ubisoft’s stable of games. Regardless, I understood why many did not enjoy it. Breakpoint att...[Read More]
Destiny 2: Forsaken preview released!
C’mon, September, get here! Guardians everywhere will need to gear up if they aim to take down Uldren and his Barons. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the new loot coming in Destiny 2: Forsaken. The enemy doesn’t stand a chance when you have a bow that lets you see through walls, or a dual-firing rocket launcher, which are amongst many of the new and exciting weapons and armor. Lock and load, ...[Read More]
