Despite a lengthy stay in open beta, Dauntless developer Phoenix Labs can't keep up with the technical demands of a proper launch. Or, more accurately, it can't handle the demands of a sudden surge in popularity as everyone wants to pl...

"You know, I'm marginally interested in this but definitely not willing to directly pay for it. But, I might be willing to invest some time to see if there's some cool shit that takes me by surprise." That's the mindset that a service like ...

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...

Baldo? That's the worst name I ever heard. No, Baldo, wait! Yes Baldo is a new "cel-shaded action adventure game" on the way to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch (read: everything, but this is going to sell so well on Switch), according to IGN....

It's the first day of the rest of Dauntless' life. The creature-slaying co-op game has released across PS4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store. Better yet, there's full cross-play support. You can get your war-pike-wielding slayer s...

Everyone assumed the Xbox One X patch for Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition was dead in the water. The update, which would get the game running at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on Xbox One X, was supposed to roll out by the ...

Back in 2014, little known publisher CI Games (alongside of developer Deck13) put out Lords of the Fallen: a clearly Dark Souls-inspired romp with a viking twist. It resonated with a lot of folks, including Dark Souls publisher Bandai Namco...

When Disney said they wanted to "take a break" from Star Wars films you knew it had to be a few years, tops (Ron Howard voice: it was). But even with that scant hiatus they're absolutely not taking a break when it comes to Star Wars&nb...

Today's contest features Devolver Digital's hit game The Swords of Ditto for Switch! The Swords of Ditto just launched an awesome new expansion pack, Mormo's Curse, which adds all sorts of new stuff to the game. Naturally, I stood boldly at...

The most recent gossip surrounding Rage has me doing my best Jim Mora "Playoffs?! Don't talk about playoffs!" impression. Although Rage 2 launched a mere three days ago, id Software already wants to get to work on Rage 3. In an in...

[Update: The Code Vein network test will run from May 31 to June 3. Get in there!] Bandai Namco's vampire-themed action-RPG Code Vein missed its 2018 release window and promptly slipped out of my mind. Now it's back and hopefully better tha...

Saints Row: The Third recently released for the Switch and it's kind of a mess. Digital Foundry, experts at evaluating game performance, have declared it possibly the worst performing game they've experienced on the platform, not to mention...

Get retro with today's contest for a Switch copy of ARPG Frane: Dragons' Odyssey. I love RPGs. I really, really do. I love battles and maxing out my potions I never use to 99 and the goofy, tropey characters. I also love how remarkably conv...

Modders have transplanted countless characters, and while the results are often little more than a chuckle-inducing novelty, sometimes their move just fundamentally works. I don't know how NieR: Automata's 2B would end up on a hard-fought q...

Nintendo and the Pokemon Company have stealth released a brand new entry in the Pokemon Rumble series. Coming to mobile devices, Rumble Rush is a free-to-play title that features real-time battles against various Pokemon critters. The twist...

Not to jinx it, but the next Walking Dead video game – The Walking Dead Onslaught – sounds promising. Really, really promising. With the way other adaptations have gone down, it's about time. Onslaught is a built-just-for-VR exp...

Announced back in the tail-end of 2016, it seemed like Dauntless would be relegated to early access for ages, but it finally has a release date: May 21. It'll launch on PC (Epic Game store), PS4, and Xbox One all at once, so you don't ...

Mo' money, mo' problems, right? Well in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, you'll have plenty of problems and poverty doesn't change that. So, you might as well throw your money around -- literally. YouTuber Tyrannicon is doing his damnedest to be...

A story chronicling the roller coaster ride that has been the Devil May Cry series would make one hell of a book. Kicking off with a stellar first entry that was born out of the Resident Evil series, famed director/producer Hideki Kamiya kn...

We're in a resplendent era of one-person studios and I couldn't be happier that those kinds of games are getting attention. There's Eric Barone of Stardew Valley fame, Celeste's Matt Thorson, Bertil Hörberg, and of cours...

The PlayStation 4 remake of MediEvil is releasing on October 25, 2019 because, well, of course it is. During today's State of Play stream, Sony dropped another trailer for the ghoul-infested hack-and-slash adventure, this time focusing mor...

[Update: The hunt beckons. Monster Hunter: World's Witcher side quest begins today on PC.] PC players will soon be able to discover the joy of having The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia in their beloved Monster Hunter: World. A few months after t...

One look at Creature Keeper and it's love at first sight. I know some of you will be right there with me. I was already on board with the name and everything it implies (hey, game devs, we'll always love taming monsters), but the combat sho...

There has been a near-unanimous refrain following Microsoft's cancelation of Platinum's Scalebound back in 2017: How could Xbox, a platform that's light on first-party exclusives, shut down the most promising game in its pipeline? More...

Yesterday the internet exploded after Capcom revealed a Switch port of the first Devil May Cry game, but it turns out the yogurt was cursed (this is a way better metaphor than the monkey's paw, don't at me). Instead of porting the enti...
