Goodbye and good luck, Destructoid

The American Dream is a virtual reality game developed by Australians that explores America's relationship with guns and gun control. I say this because I want everyone to lay their cards on the table – even if you don't agr...

[Photos of the E3 2017 lot by Spencer Zehren] Somewhere in the 372 miles between Phoenix and Los Angeles lies the San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm – a tourist attraction that literally bowls you over between the sheer scope of the ope...

If you've spent any time on the internet, you've likely come across a Two Things t-shirt; a shirt that exists only to make two surface-level geek references at the same time, as opposed to the one reference you might get from a Star Wars gr...

For nearly two decades, EmuParadise has been the go-to place for quite a number of people in the emulation community. This is due to...

While at Anime Expo this weekend, I got some lovely iPhone shots of the upcoming Bloodborne Hunter Figma and the Portal 2 Atlas and P-Body Nendoroids. They weren't as cool as the Digimon Digivolving Agumon/WarGreymon prototyp...

All I want from a modern Dungeons & Dragons video game is a virtual approximation of the tabletop role-playing game. We already have hack-and-slash games, we already have dungeon crawlers, that road has been well-tread. I want a go...

Outreach got lucky. It's a Gone Home-like on a Russian space station set during the Cold War, and features no science fiction elements. I like Gone Home quite a bit, I love alternate history fiction, and I just started w...

I remember a surprising amount about the plot to Fable III, considering that I stopped actively thinking about it once the credits rolled some seven-odd years ago. I remember you were a prince, and your brother was the king, but he was...

I haven't felt competent at Call of Duty in quite some time. With the series' move towards the futuristic came an ill-fated attempt to capture imaginations of the eSports crowd, overcrowding the once-storied Call of Duty multiplay...

In the Detroit: Become Human hands-off theater demo we were shown at E3 2017, we got to see some of the iconography that will define the android/human conflict at the heart of the game's story. The androids' much-lauded digital graffit...

When I first saw The Force Awakens (a fine production that is better than Rogue One in every conceivable way), I left wanting to know more about the period between Return of the Jedi and the new film. And as a finger on the M...

As a retro swing enthusiast, I loved the E3 2017 Super Mario Odyssey trailer song. "I'll be your 1-Up girl" is such a perfect line. I don't have the critical vocabulary necessary to explain why it works so well, but it does and I'...

GungHo Online CEO Kazuki Morishita recently confirmed to Destructoid that Let it Die would be receiving a "huge update" at the end of June. Although the specifics are still being determined, the update is currently set to add ten floor...

Today at E3 2017, GungHo Online Entertainment CEO Kazuki Morishita spoke with Destructoid about the company's upcoming title for the Nintendo Switch. According to Morishita, the game will be an "action game for all ages with a lig...

If you've ever played Forza Horizon, then Need for Speed Payback will seem very familiar. They're both open-world driving games set in the desert, they both feature a stunt chain system that doles out experience based on how well ...

According to Need for Speed Payback producer Jeremy Chubb, Payback will run at 1080p with a 30 FPS framerate on the standard Xbox One and PS4 models, and 4K with a 30 FPS framerate on Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro. It's unclear if t...

Today, during the Xbox press conference, EA and BioWare showed off "in-engine" gameplay from new BioWare IP Anthem. The game is a co-op open world RPG, where players team up with their friends to go beyond the walls of an unnamed city to fi...

Annapurna's foray into the world of video games continues with Ashen, a game set in a ruined world where the player characters look to bring light back to whatever bad situation they've found themselves in. The game is a multiplayer open-wo...

Between the large inscrutable monsters and the ruined post-apocalyptic landscape, Bandai Namco's Code Vein reminds me of the first Nier (post-apocalyptic world populated by people who are involved with some kind of crazy "kee...

Today, Deep Rock Galactic was announced as an Xbox One "console launch exclusive" at Microsoft's E3 2017 press conference. Deep Rock Galactic has already been confirmed for Steam Early Access, and is currently set for a "2017" release....

A. Verdin (name redacted for privacy) isn't the only person who allegedly scammed review keys from video game PR representatives and developers, but he's one of the few who got caught. Verdin – AKA "BattlefieldAxe," "Airo95," "RaphaAa...

I was at the very end of Fear Effect Sedna's Digital Dragons demo when I came across a puzzle that I couldn't quite solve. The first major puzzle in Sedna forced me to explore the environment to defuse a bomb, and I actually kinda like...

At the Digital Dragons expo in Poland last month, Justin Bailey (not that one), the CEO and founder of the investment/crowdfunding platform Fig, spoke about the decline of crowdfunding. Bailey compared the history of video game crowdfunding...

At Digital Dragons this past week, Pawel Sasko, Lead Technical Quest Designer at CD Projekt Red, took apart several quests in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its expansions. Since most of the quests Sasko discussed were fairly late-game a...

[Spoilers for the previous four episodes of A New Frontier.] From the Gallows is this past season of The Walking Dead distilled into a single episode. Every save glitch, every charming line of dialogue, every fully-realized c...
