After pouring easily hundreds of hours into Nioh 2 and its three DLC packs on PS4, it's admittedly been pretty jarring to start a fresh save on PC – even if I'm only here for preview purposes right now. I had forgotten just how lethal...

A few years ago, Amazon seemed like it was taking the correct steps to establish itself as a player in the video game industry. In 2014, it purchased Double Helix Studios, which was then riding high on the successful rebirth of the Killer I...

As someone who ranks Resident Evil 7 as one of their favorites in and out of the long-running series, I am full-blown excited to see Resident Evil Village continue down that path with some on-the-surface supernatural elements and more than ...

It's been great having continued reasons to revisit Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, especially as of late. I've been on a real Castlevania kick with the Game Boy Advance lineup and the perennial Symphony of the Night. The latest free con...

Starting this week, Blizzard is running a "limited technical alpha" for Diablo Immortal. Yes, the "do you guys not have phones" game. We got in. It's not bad. Don't @ me.

When I saw that trailer for Sephiroth in Smash, my first thought was "they can't kill Mario, can they?!" Well, they didn't: no, the beloved plumber was not gored by one of the biggest bads of all time. Sephiroth probably isn't murdering any...

If you've played Critter Crunch or Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, you don't need to be convinced that Capybara is capable of making great puzzle games that'll creep into – and slowly take over – your headspace. With that in...

For a little over a month now, I've been on a diet and a fairly restrictive one at that. It's probably not the wisest thing to do during the season of gingerbread cookies and figgy pudding, but, somehow, I've stuck with it for longer than a...

It's worth stressing a few things about Temtem upfront now that it's released on PlayStation 5. If you're burned out on Pokémon in general, there's a decent chance Temtem won't do enough to differentiate itself, and that's kind of wh...

It’s a real shame the story of Telltale Games ended the way it did because, at one point in its brief history, it was one of the most exciting developers in the industry. With access to some of the top IPs, including The Walking Dead,...

Nintendo is going hard on Mario's 35th anniversary. We've already gotten Super Mario Bros. 35, Mario 3D All-Stars, and Mario Kart Live, but there's more to come. This past weekend Nintendo just released the Game & Watch Super Mario Bros...

Whether you're a first-time Tetris Effect player or you're showing up for the new timed-exclusive multiplayer modes, Tetris Effect: Connected is worth checking out – especially with Xbox Game Pass. Aside from the original Tetris Effec...

While the Xbox Series X has an out-of-the-box legacy storage option for older games, you can't run "made for Series X" titles on it. And as a reviewer, I know I'm going to be running out of space fairly soon. Storage Tetris be damned. I mea...

As Brett noted in our full review, Assassin's Creed Valhalla falls short in several respects. That's especially true when you directly compare it to its predecessor, Odyssey, which seemingly set an impossibly high bar for the series. T...

Devil May Cry 5 was an absolute triumph. Don't take it from me, read our review! Oh wait, that was me. Well, take it from me. Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is pretty good too.

I'm glad Nintendo decided to release a demo for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – not just as someone who adored Hyrule Warriors on Wii U and Switch, but also as someone who knows there are bound to be a lot of on-the-fence Breath of...

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's the PS5! No wait, that was yesterday! The time has come to unveil both new consoles in all their unboxed glory, which means we can take comparison shots. Despite having "box" in the name, the Xbox box is...

The time has nearly come for the next-generation. On November 10, "next-gen" becomes just..."the gen," and the cycle begins anew. Beginning, the console wars are. Sort of. Microsoft has been adamant that the generational leap is going to be...

When the PlayStation 5 ships on November 12, it'll arrive with a built-in game: Astro's Playroom. It's a very smart move by Sony, to evoke the era of pack-ins and demo discs with this inclusion. Although Astro is a breezy "few hour" ad...

You may not recognize the title Immortals Fenyx Rising. Did you miss the name change? Did you know it as Gods and Monsters, from Ubisoft's E3 2019 conference? Okay, well it got a name change that was allegedly due to a Monster Energy tradem...

Dragon Quest of the Stars hit North America at just the wrong time earlier in 2020. Arriving almost five years after its initial release in Japan, the free-to-play, gacha RPG reached our shores right around the same time COVID-19 did. ...

Whenever someone needs to be digitally blown up, stabbed, or shot, the overlords at Destructoid always seem to deem me the person for the job. I'm not sure why, given that I'm very clearly the Bernadetta of the editorial team. Regardless, i...

I hope you still have Ghost of Tsushima installed on your PS4. If not, queue that download. Earlier today, Sucker Punch released Legends – a co-op mode with two-player story missions and four-player wave-based survival maps, both of w...

I kinda still can't believe it? Minecraft x Super Smash Bros. But it happened! For years folks have speculated that one of the biggest games on the planet is a no-brainer for an appearance in Smash, exacerbated by the fact that Microso...

I still remember listening to "Simple and Clean" on a CD player on a school bus. Now I'm married and have a family. That's how long Kingdom Hearts has been with us, through thick and thin: through some of the thicker storylines and thi...
