[As you may or may not have read, Brett Makedonski has taken his leave of Destructoid for pastures new. Brett's hard work, candid nature, and wry eye for headlines helped pumped the life blood of our humble home every day for seven years. W...

Dinosaurs are on the short list of good things. They go, in order: Back massages, dinosaurs, astronauts. That's it. That's comprehensive. You have a fine opportunity to close 2020 with dinosaurs, to begin the new year with dinosaurs, or to ...

With the most matter-of-fact teases, Devolver has told us that it has a lot up its sleeve next year. That's it. That's the post, there's not really any more information. Okay, there's a bit more. Devolver plans to launch five games in ...

Respawn Entertainment is keeping busy as of late. As it should be! This is a studio that has proven itself time and time again in recent years, cementing itself as one of EA's most valuable development teams thanks to the success of games l...

Make sure you're sitting down for this news: The PlayStation 5 is off to a tremendous start. This probably won't take you by surprise; it was nearly impossible to find a PS5 (or Xbox Series X for that matter) anytime around launch. Demand w...

If I were stuck on a desert island, I'd simply curl up and wait to die. Dehydration, starvation, extreme sunburn -- unlike Destiny's Child, I am not a survivor. I probably wouldn't even get the TV hooked up to watch my three desert island ...

This year was mostly bad for everyone -- and that's a thing that's usually said very hyperbolically because a couple celebrities died or whatever, but in 2020 it feels appropriate for once -- but it wasn't without its silver linings. We got...

As the saying goes: Where there's a will, there's a wisp. And as the other saying goes: Where there's an Ori, there's excellence. Maybe neither of those are quite household phrases, but the latter is undeniable. A full five years after Ori ...

Tencent, a stupidly massive Chinese conglomerate, got a little bigger recently. It added Leyou's assets to its portfolio thanks to a new acquisition. Leyou likely isn't a name you recognize, but some of its studios will ring a bell. Most no...

Random things falling from the sky. NPCs walking straight into walls. The physics going bananas and suddenly killing you out of nowhere. It's the full-blown Cyberpunk 2077 experience! It looks...older, though. YouTuber Anders Lundbj&o...

Ten years ago, the year 2033 seemed very far away and the idea of an impending apocalyptic collapse of civilization seemed far-fetched. Now, only 12 years away and with a global life-changing virus under our belt, it's not so funny! Metro 2...

Don't cry for CD Projekt Red. Even with everything that's going on over there, the dollars and cents still work out. That's what's going to ultimately matter. CD Projekt Red released a disclosure for investors today that confirmed...

Xbox has sputtered and come up short with Games with Gold for most of 2020. That's an unfortunate byproduct of Xbox Game Pass being so well-rounded. Having so many titles on Game Pass means that Games with Gold suffers when it comes t...

Teamwork makes the dream work, but it also cuts your take into fractions. The lone wolves of GTA Online don't always want to carry out big tasks as a group. They'd rather take the spoils all for themselves. A lot more risk, a lot more ...

Alien: Isolation is basically Home Alone if you really think about it. A bunch of people live on the Sevastopol Space Station, so it's their home. Ripley is alone, in isolation if you will. It all checks out. Alien: Isolation ...

Odd world? You're preachin' to the choir, buddy! Ain't nothin' normal about it! Oh, the video game? Yeah, sure. Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is free today on the Epic Games Store. It's numero dos out of 15 Epic freebies comin' your way. If ...

Already in unprecedented territory, we're moving further and further into the uncharted. Hell, we're moving further and further into The Twilight Zone. Shit is downright bizarre right now. On the heels of Sony and Microsoft both offering fu...

You already look stylish when you're slicing and dicing in Ghost of Tsushima, doubly so when you're hacking away in black-and-white mode. Add to the aesthetic by infusing your samurai warrior with Kratos, just as Kurosawa intended. Sucker P...

Late last night, Sony made a massive unprecedented business decision. It pulled the trigger on offering full refunds for anyone who bought Cyberpunk 2077 through the PlayStation Store. That might happen with some low-profile indies, bu...

Halloween isn't just a day, it's a way of life. It's 365 and one more on Leap Years. That means when Christmas rolls around, it's also Halloween. Pumpkin Jack is all about that life. Eight days from Christmas, this jack-o-lantern-head...

A couple days ago, news that Among Us is coming to Switch led Chris to wonder aloud "Why not put it on everything at this point?" That timing's pretty sus, bud. On cue, Among Us is getting ported to other consoles. Microsoft has r...

Fortunately, digital files don't take up any room in the stocking. Otherwise, that thing would be stuffed half a month from now. They only take up space on the hard drive. You're going to build an entire goddang city today. Epic is giving a...

Ubisoft caught a lot of flak for a time-saving microtransaction in Assassin's Creed Odyssey that permanently increased your XP rate by 50 percent. The problem is that a lot of people felt as though Odyssey's grind was specifically tail...
