Who could we count on to stop the calamity if a giant space station were falling towards the Earth? Why, a lone humanoid robot being remotely controlled by…you, a game player hundreds of thousands of miles […]

Back in 2011, the third-person action-adventure ruled the roost. Franchises like God of War, Darksiders, and Devil May Cry brought dark, edgy, rock-inspired energies to combat. El Shaddai: Ascension of the […]

Video games often rely on visuals to help convey their effects. Whether they’re lifelike or cartoonish, pixelated or polygons, graphics are usually a cornerstone of a game. This is not the case with The V […]

Mass Effect was a landmark franchise for me when it originally released. Chronicling the adventures of Shepard and their crew, it broke many of my concepts of what a video game could be. Joshua Shepard was the […]

There’s a style to a Flight School Studio game that I love: unique visuals, an action focus, and a more subtle, reflective narrative. Creature in the Well struck a chord with its pinball-style action mechanics, a […]

It’s hard to appreciate the passage of time when you’re in the middle of it. Time has a strange way of stretching and shrinking, making amazing moments feel like an instant, and painful ones feel like an ete […]

Skul: The Hero Slayer released out of Early Access to some tough competition. It’s a golden age for action-based roguelikes. Since 2011’s The Binding of Issac, players have been enamored with these punishing tit […]

As someone who focuses on storytelling, games like Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest intrigue me. The Werewolf: The Apocalypse universe has been around for years as a tabletop roleplaying system l […]

It’s true: Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has sold over 7 million copies on Steam. It’s the most downloaded Playstation Plus game ever. And I can admit I’ve spent perhaps far too many hours with the game compared […]

Minecraft is more than a game, perhaps even more than a phenomenon: it’s an ecosystem. There’s been entire concerts in Minecraft. Even an entire data library of banned journalism stored in a Minecraft mod. It’ […]

Viewtiful Joe was a game-changer for me. I’d fell in love with cel-shading after playing Jet Grind Radio on the Dreamcast. Still, I wasn’t ready for Viewtiful Joe’s super-stylized graphics, reverence for Jap […]

I tend to play games with a narrative focus, but sometimes I just like an outright challenge. That’s what encouraged me to pick up Profane, a dual-stick, bullet-hell boss rush shooter. There’s no experience […]

I gravitate towards two types of games: 2D platformers, and narrative adventures (AKA “walking simulators”). Secretly though, I’ve always been curious about sports games. Still, one of my earliest gaming […]

Life is Strange 2 is still cooking, Dontnod Entertainment’s follow-up to the sleeper-hit Life is Strange. Based in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Arcadia Bay, the series’ first game followed high s […]

Racing games these days seem to scratch one of two itches: simulation, or kart racing. Series like Forza and Project Cars reach for realism, with tons of customizable car parts and unforgiving controls. If […]

Valve doesn’t seem to like the number “3.” Whether it’s Half-Life, DOTA, or Left 4 Dead, Valve seems perfectly happy leaving us hanging for years. That doesn’t mean other developers aren’t trying to scratch those […]

For a while in the mid-2000s, the big trend was “RPG-elements.” Introducing experience points, leveling up, and increasing stats seems like an “easy” way to boost the life of any game. Balancing the quest for bet […]

Square Enix’s release of Kingdom Hearts in 2002 instantly captivated an audience. Mashing up Disney and Final Fantasy characters, the franchise’s fame grows with every new game, manga, and anime. Now, while w […]
