You trudged across the entirety of America. You’ve made it across Mexico. And you’re now travelling Australia. Maybe you’ve even returned to do itall over again in a completely straight line. It takes a lot out of your calves, your blistered soles, your poor boots that you constantly have to replenish. It’s only fair that you rest those weary feet. You’re on a reverse trike, you’re in a 4x4, you’re zooming across the topography in a classic car you won on a racetrack you built for some reason....

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Armyhas a pretty impressive list of demons you can fuse, register, and experiment with the stats of over in the Goumaden once Victor returns and you’re able to access the lab from Kounno-ya in Tsukubo-cho, where you can begin fusing new devils for Raidou to summon. You’ll also be able to get tons of new devils in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army by confining some of the demons you’re up against in battle, and some of them are pivotal to your success in the earliest hours of Raidou Remastered....

Like many people my age, I grew up playingTelltale games. They aspired to make your choices matter while presenting stories in a television-like episodic format, and while they weren’t perfect, they were undoubtedly a key part of revitalising the adventure game genre and creating more emphasis on player agency across the medium for years to come. AdHoc Studio draws on the talent of a number of directors and developers from Telltale Games, and its first game,Dispatch, attempts to take that choice-focused gameplay and elevate it....

There’s been a lot of talk about whatDonkey Kong Bananzaisn’t. It’s not a newMario. It’s not what we expected to kick off theSwitch 2era. After making my way through the entire thing, I fear that conversation will remain. Donkey Kong Bananza is a good game. Butit’s not a new Mario, and it’s not what I expected to kick off the Switch 2 era. There is obviously a baseline level of quality to any first-partyNintendoplatformer, and we see this on display in Bananza....

Nintendo’s official Japanese website forDonkey Kong Bananzahas confirmed how old Pauline is, and it only makes the game’s timeline even more confusing. This week’s Donkey Kong Bananza Directmade it clear very quickly that the big guy shouldn’t be counted out any time soon. As surprising as it was tosee DK turn into different animalsand reunite with Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, the biggest surprisecame in the form of Pauline, who was finally confirmed to be in the game....

Summary Elden Ring Nightreignis packed with moreDark Soulsreferences than just the Nameless King and Solaire, but you’re going to have a very tough time unlocking them all. From the momentElden Ring Nightreign was first revealed at last year’s The Game Awards, it quickly emerged as one of the most surprising things that FromSoft has ever done.Not only is it a strangely modern concept from the studiowith its online battle royale and roguelite influences, but it’s also somewhat of a mishmash of previous Soulslikes....

Throughout your time in the fantasy worlds ofDungeons & Dragons,you are sure to run in to some tense situations. Deadly enemies, bad rolls, and poor choices can all lead you to rolling Death Saving Throws, but there is something worse than the inevitable character death. The total party kill, or TPK, can be the end of your group’s adventuring together, if not for a little ret-conning or divine intervention. Part luck and skill, every character has the capacity to make the choices leading to a TPK, but some character classes are a bit more likely than others....

Nintendo’s Mario series is most known for its family-friendly games that are always a blast for anyone of any age and skill level to play. However, in the spin-off side of the series, theMario Partygames are notorious for ruining friendships. The Mario Party games have you and up to three other people duking it out to see who is the superstar for the ultimate bragging rights. A competitive game, of course, means plenty of ways to mess with your competition....

Final Fantasy Tacticsscript writer Yasumi Matsuno has said thatThe Ivalice Chronicles' themes are going to hit just as hard since the world hasn’t got any better since the game originally released 30 years ago. As everyone who has been begging for a remake or remaster is well aware of, one of the mostmemorable aspects of Final Fantasy Tactics is its core message and themes. Tactics is all about the conflict between classes and a desire to better the world,something that the game’s developers have highlighted on numerous occasions....

Five years ago today, 32 jellybean-shaped bipeds stumbled into our hearts. That’s right: on July 03, 2025,Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockouthit PS4 and PC, bringing the party game stylings ofMario Partyto the dog-eat-99-other-dogs battle royale genre. Like many of the11 million players who bought a copy of the game (that’s just the PC version) within its first four months of release, I played Fall Guys seemingly exclusively in 2020. Just like Ice Spice only mattered in 2023 (sorry Ms....

Look, I know you’ve all been asking forHalf-Life 3for… a while. It’s one of those ‘will they, won’t they?’ games that garners a joke or a mention at every gaming event and showcase, year after year. Aside from the usual ‘we got [insert cultural happening here] beforeGTA 6’ jokes that we’ll see for the best part of another year, it’s the most persistent bit of gamer anticipation. Imagine if we got Half-Life 3 before GTA 6?...

Genres are, for the most part, a broad label to give you a rough idea what a game is trying to achieve. When you hear ‘open-world survival game’, you already have a vision in your head of what that could be like, even if it has plenty of its own innovations in that particular genre. Genres can be a bit restrictive in that regard, but are an essential part of marketing all the same....
