Death can come at any time in Dead Cells, especially early on. A superb run can be derailed by something as simple as a feisty elite enemy that you probably shouldn't have engaged. Experience and familiarity are crucial parts of the learnin...

Very little about Overcooked 2 will leave you confused. Frustrated, sure. Overcooked's approach to cooperative play -- both players responsible for individual tasks in pursuit of a common goal -- can get so overwhelming for all but the...

Did you know that it's possible to run automatically? If you're blown away by this revelation, don't worry, I was too. This is a mechanic that the...

I've gotten a lot of questions about Dead Cells from the community at large and colleagues over the past few weeks, which happened to jell with the copious amount of notes I took during my runs. Here are some quick tips to help you see...

Mega Man has a long and storied history as an alienating series. Although it can be easier to pick up if you stick with it, some opening segments for select games have proven to be a pain for some; and for years folks have left the memories...

This is an honest and genuine question. I have only now started to play Fortnite with the advent of Season 5. I haven't even played many battle royale games at all, really. I've played some Fortnite in squads back when it was new ...

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit launched a few hours ago, and it's free on all platforms. If you like Dontnod's method of episodic storytelling, it's absolutely worth a play. If you've never tried something in the vein of Life...

Far Cry 5 has a bit of an obsession with shovels, and that fascination goes even further this week with the latest live event, White Collar Job. How many lives would you trade for a gun that launches shovels? I hadn't messed with any of th...

You might not get bloody fingers trying to best the new God of War, but there's definitely a learning curve, especially if you start with the hard difficulty setting. Go ahead and do that by the way, as you can swap between easy, normal, an...

Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 are coming to Switch this week, and outside of a pair of new minigames, they're basically the same shell with DLC stuffed inside. As long as you're not counting on the minigames to be more than a fleeting f...

Owning every amiibo has its perks. Mainly, when it comes time to cover anything toy related in a Nintendo game, I'm there. To make good on this madness, here's a rundown of what happens when you scan every Link amiibo released to date into ...

Now that Call of Duty: WWII is officially out in the wild, you might be on the lookout for ways in which you can get a leg up in the game’s highly competitive multiplayer component or its cooperative Zombies mode. Call of Duty: W...

In most titles, booting up a base game with DLC installed would instantly queue up a sort of "radio signal," or otherwise easily identifiable marker that says "this way to the DLC." That's not the case for Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen...
