Anthem wasn’t at its best at launch. Players knew it, but more importantly, developer BioWare knew it. Neither the core game mechanics nor the loot system were considered particularly satisfying. For several months, the team worked to alleviate these issues, yet it was never enough. As a result, BioWare Austin has spent much of this
Hot on the heels of a dormant, long-overdue-for-a-sequel Ubisoft video game franchise getting a Netflix series in Splinter Cell, another IP from the Ubisoft stable fans have been waiting a long time to continue playing in is making the leap to the digital-streaming service. Beyond Good & Evil, the cult classic 2003 title, is receiving
Gamers are used to being slapped with the all-too-common upcharge for being an early adopter. Or, lately, buying into a fad based around the mythic consumer known as “gamer.” We’ve all fallen prey to the siren song of buying merchandise that is seemingly meant exclsuively for us, “The Gamers.” After all, it was only about
As promised, BioWare are starting to publish updates as they rethink their not-so-well-received online sci-fi shooter Anthem. Today’s update specifically talks about their goals for the loot system, which they want to be more reliable and respect a player’s time. It doesn’t sound like anything is set in stone yet, so this will definitely be
Despite all of the new info about Halo Infinite we got last week, some details were conspicuously absent. Namely, Microsoft and 343 Industries weren’t talking about multiplayer, which is traditionally a major draw for the series. Today, the official Halo Twitter account confirmed rumors that the upcoming game’s multiplayer mode will be free-to-play, making it accessible
Unlike the Birdman’s games – or the one with actual birds in it – Skater XL is a serious and mostly authentic and grounded simulation of skateboarding and it innovates in a truly engrossing way with its nuanced and tricky two-stick control system. There have been times over the last several days when I’ve become
ConcernedApe, the creator behind the beloved Stardew Valley, has announced a special physical edition of the game is coming to Nintendo Switch.

By Sherif Saed, Friday, 31 July 2020 12:55 GMT The Epic Games Store is finally adding one of the most requested features: mod support. Hot on the heels of an early implementation of achievements, the Epic Games Store has now brought on yet another much-needed feature – that being mod support. Like achievements, mod support
I always admired peaceful games, but found it very challenging to make one. The combat and rivalry is something that makes the game experiences exciting and I could not find a way around it. This has all changed when I started working on Merchant of the Skies, a peaceful trading game, back in 2019. My
Destroy All Humans! reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PC. Also available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “Blasting through the bright and cheery 1950s world of Destroy All Humans! is a simple but satisfying kind of fun, and there’s a lot to be said for that. Just like the original, this remaster’s comedy is a
When it comes to all-conquering multiplatform games these days, there are a few titles which tend to dwarf the rest through mainstream cultural saturation. If you’re not in their target demographic, it might be possible to miss these games, but you can’t escape their influence. Minecraft is one of those titles that defined a generation;

Fragments of the Source Wall, a solid barrier surrounding the Multiverse, are raining down on the island nation of Themyscira. The Amazon’s magnificent home is now dimensionally-patchworked as the multiverse they once knew is collapsing and merging around them. The Sphere of Gods, home to the gods and immortals that exist within the Multiverse, lies
As a nostalgia trip, Sonic Mania is impeccably precise. So, naturally, you’ll want to really nail those throwback kicks by, uh, playing it through an unrelated publisher’s digital subscription service. The blue blur and his grossly mutated twin-tailed fox friend are now sprinting through EA’s Origin Access Premiere service, with Two Point Hospital and Endless
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare begins Season 5 content on August 5, with the rollout of a new band of mercenaries – The Shadow Company. How this will effect anything other than the obvious potential cosmetics is unknown, but it leaves the field wide open for some potential new game modes involving three teams. Maybe

Imagine the most badass pistol-wielding action hero ever. Now, become them. That’s it. That’s the game. At least, that’s the aim when developing Pistol Whip: for you to experience each level, or “scene,” as cinematically as possible, as though you’re the action hero yourself. Most design decisions — from game modifiers to art direction to

It was 2014 when I decided to take things more seriously. I’d just made my debut in the mobile gaming arena. Yet while my title had been financially successful, I didn’t feel any creative satisfaction. I decided that had to be the driving force of my next project. I looked to my childhood for inspiration.
What the world needs right now is another team-based PvP shooter, and luckily that’s exactly what Hi-Rez Studios have brought to the table with the release of Rogue Company. Now, as this game is currently in Early Access form, a review at this point would be premature, so what I’m hoping to do is give
