Chicory: A Colorful Tale, which was originally introduced to the world as Drawdog, is the new game from the creator of Wandersong, and if the demo is any indication of its quality, holy shit, this is going to be an absolute blast. It's stil...

We got our hands on a Sega Genesis Mini early, and have the go-ahead to showcase its complete contents. Naturally, the first thing I did before playing it is see how it compares to all the other minis so far. I have a little mini museum!

Heroes of the Storm is having an interesting year. Although a lot of people aren't happy with the way Blizzard decided to ramp down development, I've actually been enjoying the game on a regular basis, just as frequently as I have in the pa...

Super Smash Bros. never fails to keep us guessing. Nintendo has truly proven that just about anyone can join the fray, as nearly every publisher will welcome the publicity. We've seen all sorts of shocking additions over the years like...

When the Neo Geo Mini launched last year, a lot was said about how poor the controls were. While the original Neo Geo hardware has some of the finest gamepads you'll ever experience – even if the button layout is a little odd – ...

The digital adaptation of the current top-rated board game on BoardGameGeek Gloomhaven was announced about a year ago, and it is now available on Steam Early Access. For strategy gamers, it may seem like a no-brainer. If that many people li...

I'm a little late to the party with The Messenger. I don't know why (I actually do, I was playing a ton of games in August 2018), but I never got around to playing more than 30 minutes of The Messenger at launch. But at some point in my rec...

There wasn't one particular reason why I put down Deck13's The Surge after a few sessions close to its 2017 launch: there were too many to count. As their sci-fi follow-up to Lords of the Fallen and their second foray into the "Souls" ...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 just dropped its third DLC zombies map, and it's a doozy. I won't go too far down the rabbit hole, but suffice to say it's going to keep zombies players talking for a while.

Capcom is a sleeping giant when it comes to properties. A lot of people forget that yes, they not only have the Mega Man series at their disposal, but they also have all of the subseries that entails like Mega Man X and Battle Network,...

There aren't a tremendous amount of open-world experiences on Switch. While Breath of the Wild came right out of the gate with a massive map for players to explore, it seems developers have been a little hesitant with porting over gigantic ...

Roughly two and a half years ago, Onion Games and publisher DMM released an absolute gem of a game in Dandy Dungeon: The Legend of Brave Yamada. It combined roguelike elements with puzzle solving and ridiculous characters to make for a...

You could write an entire book about how Devil May Cry was made. Originally billed as a Resident Evil project, legendary producer/director Hideki Kamiya and his team morphed it into something new entirely, and it's taken many forms over the...

While Octopath Traveler may not be a perfect game by any means, it was an awesome addition to the JRPG genre. As with any game, it's always a bummer to see something released on a single system – console or PC. While I under...

The Sims 4 is still going strong after five years. Although you don't hear it brought up in general gaming conversation often, there are a ton of people playing it: some of whom dabble in Sims 4 on a daily basis. Given how much it's improve...

EA responded to complaints that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s reveal didn’t contain any actual gameplay by opening its EA Play event with a 15-minute-long gameplay demo. It had everything you would expect in a Star Wars game: l...

The notion that "there can only be one" is as bogus as the Highlander sequels (I can't even remember who dragged me to see Highlander: Endgame, which is probably for the best). Whenever I see people fighting off the existence of a...

VR is such a hard sell. Beyond the sticker shock, it's difficult to demonstrate, and a lot of folks just want to pop into a stress-free experience every so often without the need to power multiple pieces of equipment on: it's why mobile gam...

In today's episode of Impulse, Justin and I check out Fortnite: Endgame! Unlike the previous Thanos event in Fortnite, this event is now a team-based mode pitting Fortnite characters with Avengers-themed weaponry against Thanos and the Chi...

Mortal Kombat 11's Switch version was shrouded in mystery for the longest time. Announced alongside the game late last year, WB Games and NetherRealm waited until just a week before launch to publicly show any footage of the port. A PAX Eas...

[Update: You can find the Spotlight embedded below.] The last time Heroes of the Storm added a character (all the way back into January), it didn't really resonate with me. It wasn't the boon the game needed after it was put on notice last ...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has had a hell of a run so far. While everyone struggled to blow through everything in one of the most expansive fighting game packages ever released, Piranha Plant crept onto the scene a full month and change lat...

VR is in such a precarious and exciting spot right now. It was expected to completely change the game out of the gate and just hasn't so far. Myriad corporations, direct VR hardware peddlers, or otherwise have scaled back production from th...

Before entering the nightmare era of its history pushing on-disc DLC amid other creative problems, Capcom was pumping out incredibly unique projects on systems like the DS and Wii. You only need to say the phrase “Zack and Wiki”...

I’m not gonna lie, I had pretty big expectations for Unravel Two after reviewing the first one a few years back. Unravel had such a beautifully-built natural world with warm, glowing graphics that really made me feel at peace. ...
