This is the most important blog I've ever written. All the other ones I've done here are but puddles of piss next to this mighty ocean of... lemonade or whatever. While everything else was fun to write and helped me engage with this de...

A warning in advance, I don't have a terrible lot of nice things to say about Paradise Killer, and I feel bad about that since the game starts so strongly and with such good first impressions: It has a female protagonist front and cent...

Greetings fellow game music lovers, it's still David Wise month and we're still with the classic Wizards & Warriors tetralogy. Now that we had a look at the first, second and Xth game, the third one "Kuros - Visions of Power" (1992...

The adventures of Solid Snake continues, this time on a new system and an extra dimension. There is an eight year gap between the release of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and Metal Gear Solid, but many consider this to be the true beginni...

Good morning Destructoid! It's that wonderful time of the week! It's Friday! My week went fast and almost so smoothly. Almost. Yesterday was the absolute worst day at my job at the hospital. I had to cover all day in the ER due to an ...

It's that time once again, folks. Sonic Hacking Contest 2020 is almost here and I am very excited for it! You might be wondering: "Kazama, what is the Sonic Hacking Contest? What's so great about it?" Well, I'll tell you, good sir! The...

Dungeons in Zelda games have changed greatly though the years. While the mobile titles have opted to get a bit more complex and thematic (while still holding the same general design) 3D Zelda titles have been moving forward to more org...

2004's Far Cry certainly stands out nowadays as one of the more unique entries in the series. It was the first game Crytek had ever worked on, and it certainly was quite a leap in tech compared to its competition. Yet despite how much ...

The hook of rogue style games is their replayability, constantly shifting dungeon designs, upgrade choices, and the quest to get just a little farther in each subsequent run.  Hades takes elements from these games, and blends the...

Featuring Resident Evil and 70s Disco/J-Pop. Greetings fellow game music lovers, after such a long time, I just had to make another Resident Evil entry, this time for the first entry of the franchise (1996) whose soundtrack was compose...

Sunday, October 18th, 2020, Fumito Ueda's Shadow of the Colossus turned 15 years old, having released to Japanese and American gamers (sorry, Brits, ya hadda wait!) back in 2005 on Sony's hotcake-sales-defying PlayStation 2. ...

Surprises are a difficult thing to pull off properly in games. Poor execution can make it predictable which ruins the surprise or the event itself is unfitting and not fun. Thankfully From Software has a lot of experience in this kind ...

Warning: Spoilers, sarcasm, and foul language ahead. I died the first time on the tutorial, and then three more times before beating the intro. Goodbye undead. Hello jedi, these are your end of days. Explore them well, take your time a...

Note: code provided by developer. There are a lot of rogue-likes and rogue-lites releasing every year, so trying to keep up with them can be tough. In this sea of games, however, are a few games worth investing time into. One of those...

Many are looking into buying new systems to play the latest games on. One of my friends is considering buying new parts to upgrade his aging beast of a PC. Another is looking at buying a PS5. I, for one, am glad that I'm done looking f...

MediEvil: Resurrection is a remake of the original MediEvil developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony for the PSP in 2005, 7 years after the original. The story is largely the same, focusing on the redemptive adventure of...

Nearly Three decades have passed and the closest we ever got to having something like Zombies Ate My Neighbors was Death Road to Canada.   Evening of the Undead: Zombies Ate My Neighbors   Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed ...

Featuring Wizards & Warriors 2 - Iron Sword and Ska punk. Greetings fellow game music lovers, David Wise month continues unhampered and we are still with Wizards & Warriors, this time the second part of the NES trilogy, Iron Sw...

Say what you will about the franchise and the direction it has taken over the years. There is no denying that it much like PT has shaped a lot of games over the past decade. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2: Main theme I would like to ...

Following the blogging tendencies I adopted around 2015 or so blog sequels are bound to happen more often for two reasons. First, ideas keep reaching my mind and if I don't write them down I may not write them later like I originally w...

Well, allow me to start off by saying I'm a pretty seasoned veteran to the CoD series. I've been playing this series for years, at least dabbling in pretty much every installment since the original Modern Warfare. And I genuinely enjoy...

There’s a fine and often foggy line when it comes to games designed to be challenging, having to balance providing enough tools, mechanics and means for the player while also pressing them to effectively use them as the challenge...

Good morning Destructoid! It's that wonderful time of the week! It's Friday!!! This week wasn't great but it flew right by so I'll take it. Love when I blink and I'm already writing another TGIF. Means I get to sit on my ass for a goo...

Horror doesn’t always come at the pointed ends of a monster’s teeth or by the hand of a nigh unstoppable force. Black Tar: Hotline Miami 2 I spoke about this one before, mostly about the scene itself in the game. Of course ...

I was willing to give this a chance mind you. I know survival games are a dime in a dozen but I can’t say I wasn’t interested in fighting a few zombies in a game like Metal Gear Solid 5. Metal Gear Survive: Enter the Fog I...
