The Nioh 2 alpha has now come to an end. For about a week, a select few players jumped into a small demo of the upcoming sequel, provided they were lucky enough to get a code. Nioh was an important game to me, as it got me interested in the...

We're home. Team Ninja has shared its first real gameplay footage for Nioh 2 ahead of E3 2019 and I can't properly express how stoked I am to go oni hunting again. I forgot just how fast and ruthless Nioh's combat can be when you aren't abu...

Bend the laws of nature with this alpha key giveaway for Splitgate: Arena Warfare. I don't know why no one has come up with this idea yet. And if they have, I haven't seen it so it doesn't count. But man, a competitive shooter using portals...

It's been a few years since Disney Infinity was cancelled. We heard a scant few details about what Infinity 4.0 might have entailed, but now we have a better idea of what Disney Interactive was shooting for. An anonymous source uploaded som...

I'm a couple of days removed from trying out Battlefield V, and now I can't help but wish I had spent more time with the closed alpha. Crawling around in the snow, patching up blown-out windows, going stupidly out of my way to revive squad ...

My mind isn't completely made up yet, but after a couple hours with the Battlefield V closed alpha test, yeah, I'm feeling it. It was one thing to hear DICE talk about some of the big changes regarding squads, health and ammo, revives, and ...

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is about to get more chaotic than it has ever been before. The two PUBG maps in rotation are both 8x8 kilometers, and that has helped dictate the pace of matches. Now, PUBG Corp is going to experiment...

Please allow me to crib the title from our most recent video and say that Hunt: Showdown is intense. Like, always intense. Like, you could shoot these surprisingly-harrowing zombies but maybe it's smarter to not fire your gun so you b...

Crytek's bounty hunter monster shooter Hunt: Showdown seems to be flying under the radar, but it shouldn't be. I've got it filed in my brain under "This sounds so promising. Please let it turn out well." Set in the Louisiana swamps, it's pa...

Last year Resogun maker Housemarque revealed it was getting out of arcade game development, much to the disappointment (but also understanding) of fans. The studio cited "lackluster sales" for Nex Machina and an industry trend toward "multi...

You know the feeling of popping bubble wrap? Stepping on an extra crunchy leaf in the fall? I've found that certain mechanics in games are comparable to those small tangible pleasures in life. Wall jumping in Super Metroid, flattening goomb...

Despite queuing for entrance on each of the days I attended EGX, and even standing in line for Super Mario Odyssey on its UK debut, the queue for Assassin's Creed Origins was easily the longest line in terms of duration (though it still see...

Ever since its debut on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, I’ve been consistently playing every Monster Hunter release, minus the MMORPG titles. It’s easily one of my favorite co-op franchises, and it has proven to be a great time kille...

There's something about games like Harvest Moon that really grabs me. Do a little farming, hang out with my neighbors; it's a relaxing escape. Just last year I lost a good six-month span of being productive to a little game called Stardew V...

Digital Extremes' Warframe always seemed kinda alright so this excellent art from its newest venture, Keystone, has me piqued. It comes from a second internal development team at Digital Extremes and is "a competitive first-person shooter w...

While the original DOS version of Shadow Warrior has been available on Steam for a few years now (and for free), you now have the option to play through the alpha and beta versions of the game when downloading Shadow Warrior Classic. This m...
