Well this one was a head-scratcher at first. Speaking to Dengeki PlayStation, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino explained the creative process behind Ni No Kuni II a bit, noting that it was a western game first and foremost, despite the fa...

I'm always looking for new cute action-adventures to tear into in an afternoon, and the PC/PS4-bound Swords of Ditto looks like it'll fit that bill. Although it's due on April 24 on the two platforms, only one is getting a crossover --...

CD Projekt Red has been fairly good at communication, updating Xbox One fans all along the way when it came to the timeline for the long-awaited Witcher 3 HDR patch that was announced last year. But the same can't be said about PS4 Pro...

When we first learned about Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden (still a too-long name), it was with a cinematic trailer that introduced the world but not the gameplay. The duck and pig protagonist duo in some sort of apocalyptic wasteland ...

Cattle Call's The Legend of Legacy should have been one of the 3DS greats. Director Masataka Matsuura assembled several of the best game designers of Japan, bringing together artists, writers, and musicians who crafted some of the...

Grinding Gear Games and Digital Extremes are getting a lot of clout for Path of Exile and Warframe respectively, and a lot of the reason for that is respect for its playerbase. A situation involving the latter popped up recently a...

I vividly remember reading magazine previews for Level-5's True Fantasy Live Online, Level-5's ambitious Xbox MMO that was canceled in 2004. I even had a crew ready and waiting with our party planned out, but it just never came to be, and I...

As far as video games about a boy (along with his pet rock and backpack-confined giraffe) rescuing his dad from a madman who turns old folks into hot dogs go, The Adventure Pals seems to be one of the very best. Maybe it's the only on...

Ni No Kuni II is a charming RPG where the president of some great human nation gets blown up by a missile and transported to a magical world of talking rats and half-cat kings, armed only with a bitchin' ponytail and a handgun. On paper, it...

Human Head Studios, a company that has been around for 20 years, is known by most people for two very specific things: It released Prey which is remembered fondly, and it started making Prey 2 until Bethesda put the kibosh on...

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has built up a polarizing reputation for its obtuse systems, which are now made even more obtuse by a lovely mod called "Ultimate Realism Overhaul." Billed as a sort of survival mode that's found in many other open...

Ni No Kuni did not mess around. Near the very start of its narrative, the plucky young Oliver has just witnessed the death of his mother after suffering a near death experience himself. While some of you may equate the Level-5 and Ghibli pr...

My character in Monster Hunter: World more or less turned out as intended, and I haven't grown tired of his look. But that day will come, I'm sure of it. Maybe it's already here for you. If so, consider this a friendly little PSA: you can a...

Assassin's Creed has spent more than a decade flirting with post-release content concepts that are out-there enough to sell. There was an alternate timeline where George Washington was an evil tyrant. There was a whole add-on that revo...

I liked the sound of Spellbound, but WitchBrook? Yeah, that'll probably stand out better for SEO purposes. Starbound and Wargroove developer Chucklefish has landed on that name for its upcoming wizard school simulation game. If you haven't ...

Like our own Jordan Devore, I'm not sure I want to spend hundreds of hours re-farming every item, skill, and level-up when Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition hits. I mean I already did it on Wii U, but those sweet, sweet 3DS character...

It's been a bit of a wait for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR on PC, but the wait is almost over. Bethesda is bringing its rebuilt-for-VR version of the open-world RPG that just won't die to Steam on April 3, 2018 with support for Oculus Rif...

It's only a month, but it might feel like an eternity to hardcore CRPG players. Obsidian's newest game needs just a little bit more time, and that revelation comes mere weeks before launch. Obsidian announced today that Pillars of Eternity ...

Ah Final Fantasy VII Remake. That thing you know will probably eventually come out, but might be delayed years on end. Square Enix is knee-deep in development still, and a recent listing for new "core members" of the team implies that there...

Hazelnut Bastille wasn't on my radar previously, but with the announcement of a Switch port from developer Aloft Studios, it definitely is now. As revealed by Nintendo Life the project is aiming for a simultaneous release with PC (or "some ...

Back when Humble Bundle announced that they would be moving into game publishing, they announced a handful of games, one of which was under a working title of No Truce with the Furies. Now, because I'm a perpetual man-child with the power o...

[Update: During today's Nintendo Direct, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition was given a May 18 release date.] Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition launches in just a few weeks on Switch in Japan, but we still have that lovely "spring 2018" ...
