Team Cherry has been stringing fans along with news of a Switch port for months now, but finally blew their load at this year’s E3 with a surprise release. Ever since I read Destructoid’s review of the game, where it was awarded...

Although I'm a horde member at heart (my first World of Warcraft character was an Orc Warlock during the beta, and my first 1.0 and subsequent main until Burning Crusade was an Orc Shaman), I gravitated toward the Alliance at the behest of ...

There hasn't been that much hype for the upcoming Mario Tennis Aces. Usually, Nin/tendo markets the living hell out of its big name titles, but this is just coming out in the Summer with little fanfare. That could be either a good or bad th...

While playing the new beta for The Crew 2, I transformed my monster-truck Mustang GT into a plane, flew to the top of a snow-capped mountain, then morphed into a speedboat and slid all the way down. Why? Well, why not? There's no shortage o...

When I reviewed I Hate Running Backwards, one of my biggest complaints was the uneven difficulty balance. Due to the procedural generation, certain levels could end up being dramatically harder than subsequent levels and restarting meant de...

Nearly four years. That's how long Hyrule Warriors has been out, and very few people have probably 100%-ed it. I don't blame them! While the core loop is fun and the roster is on point, upgrading every single hero and villain and obtaining ...

Today marks the release of Spire of Stars, Destiny 2's latest raid "lair," followed by the proper raid Leviathan, packed in the base game, and the micro-raid Eater of Worlds, released with the first disappointing Curse of Osiris D...

OnRush kind of crept up on me. Codemasters, possibly the king of racing publishers, is mostly known for its realistic simy racers with few exceptions. So when I saw the wild, screaming rainbow flavored OnRush, I didn't immediately put ...

Xbox has now established a pattern for how it treats Super Lucky's Tale DLC. There have been two post-release add-ons, and both of them have launched suddenly without any prior warning. That's how Gilly Island released in March, ...

Magic: The Gathering means a lot of different things to different people. For some, it's a highly competitive game where the meta has to be followed and the sideboard is always ready. For others, it's a casual kitchen table game to play whe...

Although the Eureka zone of Final Fantasy XIV arrived roughly a month ago, it's taken me a really long time to process just how I feel about it. Billed as a return to old school Final Fantasy XI sensibilities, the landscape has dr...

For what feels like decades Diablo fans have wanted a playable Deckard Cain. The old loremaster was an immediate favorite after his debut in Diablo, and his involvement in future iterations on top of his classic rap only helped fuel th...

The number one thing any person needs to know, for context on any God of War game, is that Kratos is a murderous psychopath who has carved a path of bloody vengeance. There's a certain nobility to upgrading your plan of revenge from one god...

Sometimes the best way to get an exclusive is to simply ask. While Destructoid isn’t lacking for content about New Blood’s upcoming FPS throwback DUSK, I was curious how the upcoming Episode Three was shaping up. Turns out I jus...

This weekend saw video game industry event PAX East take place in Boston, MA. For four days gamers and the media descended upon the developers and publishers in attendance to get their hands on some of the latest titles and hidden gems wing...

I didn’t spend my entire weekend at PAX doing business. In between a few appointments, I got the time to catch up with an old friend and walk around the show floor from a more casual perspective. Without giving away that I was ther...

I haven’t really followed news on The Voxel Agents’ upcoming The Gardens Between. My only real knowledge came from Sony’s Paris Games Week event last October, so I wasn’t sure exactly what changed or how the game w...

Watch Dogs 2 was a pretty good representation of the hacking community that has grown over the years, but it did have one big flaw. These supposed nobodies were running around with near superhuman bullet resistance and blowing shit up with ...

I hate feeding into the stereotype of press comparing things to Dark Souls. When giving Dark Devotion a shot at PAX this weekend, I couldn’t really think of what else to call this at first glance. There is a stamina meter that gove...

In the indie games scene, procedural generation and rogue-like elements seem to be the golden formula one strives for. I can’t tell you how many games I’ve heard about with those two buzzwords attached, but Mothergunship is just...

While I pride myself on being open to new things, one of the few styles of gaming I’m just not a fan of is the burgeoning survival genre. These games aren’t similar to how some might associate "survival" in gaming (Resident Ev...

Have you heard of a little game called Stories: The Path of Destinies? It was a fun indie title that took an unusual concept and ran with it to its fullest degree. The basic gist is the game has branching paths, but it requires you to actua...

Ever since Super Mario World introduced us to a Mario with a cape, I’ve had a fascination for game mechanics that allow you to glide. Nothing has quite captured what Nintendo accomplished so long ago, but The King’s Bird took me...

Up until today, the last time I spoke to anyone at Yacht Club Games face to face was in April 2017. They were just finalizing their plans for King Knight's campaign, the last of the game's single-player updates. There was still a lot up in ...

Long Gone Days is an RPG about modern-day conflicts and the human cost of engagements. The game, which recently launched on Steam's Early Access platform, features multiple combat systems and pleasant sprite art that work together to s...
