One of the few games to have a higher aggregate score isClair Obscur: Expedition 33, and for some reason, fans of Sandfall’s debut game are struggling to accept Bananza is, objectively, almost as good....

Nintendohas done its best to make games for the Switch compatible with theSwitch 2. However, not all titles will work on the new console. Mostly the problems are with non-Nintendo games, but there are also some quirks with Nintendo’s own titles. These issues include games which won’t work with the new Joy-Con 2. The Joy-Con 2 is a different design to the original, something which causes issues with certain titles. Mostly this is due to the lack of IR Motion Camera on the Joy-Con 2, as well as connection issues with other peripherals....

Techland, the developer behind theDying Lightfranchise, is aware of how important fan reception is, and ahead ofDying Light: The Beast’s release in August, have shared that the team is dedicated to perfecting certain aspects ofthe DLC-turned full-length game, otherwise its fans “would kill us.” That “kill” would most likely come in the form of a review bomb or other negative campaign,which major games like Monster Hunter Wilds have had to contend with, and is something thatTake-Two, the publisher of Grand Theft Auto, acknowledged can have a major financial impact on a studio....

One of the most popular ways to playSkyrimis as a stealth archer, so whenOblivion Remasteredlaunched, a lot of players tried to carry the build over. While it can work, it’s a lot less reliable. On higher difficulties especially,you won’t one-shot targets very often, meaning that you quickly hit a ceiling on how powerful you can get. Stealth archer is a hot topic among Oblivion fans to say the least (just read the comments on my last article), and the conversation has been drummed up again byu/g0_west, who decided to end their decade-long hiatusand return to the original game earlier this week....

Funko Fundaysis something you have to see to believe. The annual in-person event, typically held during San Diego Comic-Con, is the ultimate Funko fan experience, and perhaps more importantly, a chance to get hold of some extremely rare and outrageously expensive Funko Pops. Part fan fest and part game show, Funko Fundays is a feeding frenzy of freebies that, for better or worse, represents the very peak of consumer culture....

You do all of that while wearing a pair of limited-editionGears of Warsneakers. Wait, what?...

Summary Gears of War: Reloadedfeels like a landmark moment for gaming. While many games have started to cross-pollinate once-rival platforms, likeThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion RemasteredandForza Horizon,Gears of Waris a title so synonymous with Microsoft and Xbox that itcoming to PlayStationat one point would have felt like blasphemy. But such is the time that we live in, in just two short months, that is precisely what is happening. Unfortunately, however, while much of the world will be fighting off hordes of Locusts on their platform of choice, one region will be restricted toXboxand PC, with the game failing to get the classification it needed for release on thePlayStation 5....

The core appeal and selling point of theKingdom Heartsseries is the world-hopping adventure between various Disney and Pixar worlds. Throughout the series, Sora, Donald, and Goofy (and an occasional rotating cast of side characters) have visited numerous different worlds to save the day in various ways. However, with Sora being as stylized as he is, sometimes he’ll need to transform if he doesn’t want to stick out too much. While some of these transformations make him perfectly fit in with the locals, others are less convincing....

Hideo Kojimais definitely one of the gaming industry’s oddest characters, coming up with absurd game concepts and ideas that make his titles truly one-of-a-kind.Only a man like Hideo Kojima could come up with Death Stranding 2, a game that has you engaging in a martial arts fight with a man who really loves pizza. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t take his work seriously though, and he goes to great lengths to make sure his games are as accurate as possible....

Death Stranding 2: On The Beachis a big game. Anyone who played Kojima Productions’ original post-apocalyptic delivery/hiking/ghost-fighting simulator won’t be too surprised about this, but that doesn’t stop the sequel from being any less sprawling. Even if you only intend to tackle the main story while casting aside most optional orders and deliveries, you are still looking down the barrel of an experience that is longer than most big games nowadays....
