I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting into with Pikuniku, the new Devolver Digital-repped puzzle-platformer adventure for Switch and PC, but I knew I liked its long-legged antics and minimalist aesthetic. That was enough of a hook, and t...

No More Heroes, like its protagonist Travis Touchdown, is a bit of an odd duck nearly 12 years removed from its original Wii launch. His creator Goichi Suda (Suda 51) marches to the beat of his own drum, as does his company, Grasshoppe...

I won't bury the lede here. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a fantastic Ace Combat game. If any part of the pre-launch hype appealed to you, or if you played and enjoyed one of the previous numbered Ace Combat games, you owe it to ...

YIIK: A Postmodern RPG is, as the title implies, a turn-based RPG that centers around a group of hipsters from the year 1999. A lot of its presentation is based around a mixture of 90s nostalgia and attempts to subvert genre conventions by ...

My lack of familiarity with the Metro franchise is painfully evident to everyone in the room less than 10 seconds after I’m handed the controller. As my comrades on the Aurora, the massive train jettisoning Artyom, Anna, and the rest ...

Like Lazarus, The Walking Dead: The Final Season has risen from the grave to continue shuffling toward its seemingly dour conclusion. After the unfortunate closure of Telltale Games last year, it seemed that all was lost for the story of Cl...

The early 2000s were a boon for action games. The PS2 was hitting its stride and would go on to cement itself as one of the most extravagant purveyors of the genre. While there were plenty of wild risks that seemed to endlessly pay off, a s...

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes launches exclusively on Switch today, and anyone who picks it up will notice that there's an extensive wardrobe for Travis Touchdown to wear. That's because Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture includ...

Fast, loud, vibrant, and violent. Devolver Digital's newest signee Katana Zero wastes no time making an impression, filled to the brim with the sort of constant carnage you'd expect from a game about a contract-killing samurai. It's im...

Today, NetherRealm Studios revealed gameplay and more from the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11, which was announced just last month and is launching in April on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. From the star-studded event, held in London a...

Whatever legacy ABC's Lost may leave, one line will always stick with me: "We have to go back." When in doubt return to your roots; it's something Ubisoft has done countless times with the Assassin's Creed series. Further and furt...

Late last week, detective agency Pinkerton sent a cease and desist letter to Red Dead Redemption 2 publisher Take-Two over the use of the Pinkerton name in Rockstar's latest hit game. Characters Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross were under fire ...

I have never played Tales of Vesperia. But for a rather long time, I wanted it quite badly, because it was one of the games I couldn't have. Ten years ago, early in the lives of both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, Microsoft scored a co...

You can’t always win. That’s a lesson I learned early in life when my parents taught me how to bet on the ponies. I was never good at picking which horse would finish first, but I was basically a savant at picking which one woul...

It took me a long, long while to warm up to the "New" Mario series. I thought the DS debut was rather stale and devoid of life, but over time it started to prove its mettle. The Wii version was a slight improvement, but it really wasn'...

The Destiny universe is going to get a major shakeup -- at least on the business side of things. Developer Bungie and publisher Activision will soon part ways after a partnership that lasted nearly 10 years. Bungie made a statement on its w...

Depending on whom you ask, 2018 was either a great year for gaming or a veritable shit-hole. Yes, the year was lit up by some absolutely wonderful experiences from both indie and AAA developers alike, but there were also loads of misses, so...

Okay, so, surprise! Nintendo has announced that Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, the expanded version of the game that originally was released back in 2012, is coming to Switch. This follows the PS4 and Xbox One ports in 2014 and the still...

2018 ended up being a better year for the Nintendo 3DS than I expected. In addition to seeing some strong ports of older games like Captain Toad and Luigi’s Mansion, it got an incredible compilation of microgames in the form of WarioW...

Another year is in the books and what an amazing year for games it was. Across all genres, it seemed like there was a hit for everyone. From AAA releases to indie darlings, there was truly something for all types of players in 2018, and if ...

If you could will one video game into existence right this minute, what would it be? My gut reaction is to say Death Stranding. I'm dying to know what the heck is going on, but then again... maybe I'm not? The bizarre trailers, the drip-fed...

In a few days, the hellish anal fissure that is 2018 will be over and the almost guaranteed shit-stained nightmare that is 2019 will begin. For gaming, 2019 is exploding right out of the gate as some of the most anticipated games of this ge...

Kratos won it in 2018, and he didn't even need to proc Wrath of the Gods. In case you haven't played it yet, God of War is a triumph from start to finish. Although it was both maligned and celebrated as "Dad of War" before release, Son...

It wasn't even close. To be honest we probably should've seen it coming. After all, when people talk about their favourite games of all time, Team ICO's titles often crop up in conversation, remembered for their strange beauty, artsy myster...

The list of nominees for 2018's Best Portable Game award is a solid one. Every title is perfect for those bed-time gaming sessions, arduous work commutes or - best of all - extended bathroom breaks. Thanks to portable gaming, we can always ...
