Whenever a video game’s sequel is announced, fans usually expect the game to hit three checkmarks: the game must be bigger, badder, and better. Or to put it bluntly, they want roughly the same experience but with more real estate, mechanics, and story. This sounds like a great strategy, but some developers disagree and believe

On May 3, Saudi Arabia’s Public Authority for Media Twitter account stated that Final Fantasy 16 will not release in the country due to “the publisher’s unwillingness to make the necessary modifications.” This game is the latest in a long list of titles banned in the country, including Spec Ops: The Line, The Last of

On paper, Redfall sounds like it should be a good game. What’s not to love about an open-world looter shooter that lets players team up to stake their claim in a world overrun by vampires? While the game falls short of greatness, it might actually be pretty good if it weren’t for the bugs. But

Redfall recently released to a critical panning. Gamers and reviewers alike have decried the game as buggy and boring, which unfortunately seems to be a bad sign for Xbox Series X/S’ next upcoming exclusive, Starfield. At first glance, this logic kind of makes sense since both games share the publisher, Bethesda Softworks. However, Hi-Fi Rush

May the fourth…er, Force…be with you. Star Wars is coming back to Fortnite, and this time the clones are attacking.

Admittedly, most of the available character skins consist of different flavors of Clone Trooper, but the costume everyone’s

Fortnite is celebrating May 4th with a month-long Star Wars extravaganza. Players can earn and purchase cosmetics straight out of the Star Wars prequel trilogy (with a bit of Star Wars: The Clone Wars flair), but these are just skins. What good is the ability to look like Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi if you

Ever since Bethesda announced Arkane’s Redfall, the company touted the game as a four-player vampire-slaying adventure. Now that the game is almost here, it’s time to learn once and for all how it tackles multiplayer. Is Redfall’s co-op worthwhile, or are you better off staking bloodsuckers on your own?  First off, Redfall players will get

It’s easy to focus on your Lightsaber Stance and Abilities as you proceed through Jedi: Survivor. On the surface, those elements make up the bulk of your character’s overall power level. However, anyone struggling with Survivor‘s toughest challenges should try to acquire the best Perks in the game. Perks are collectible enhancements that you can

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor offers multiple massive skill trees that really allow you to make some interesting character builds. That’s great, but the sheer amount of options available can lead to analysis paralysis. What you really want to know is “Which skills should you buy first” and “What are the most powerful skills in the

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor expands upon Fallen Order in pretty much every way. More areas, more objectives, more characters…you get the picture. However, some of the best additions Survivor makes to Fallen Order are all the new lightsaber stances you get to play with. Survivor is a fairly well-balanced game, which means that you will

This article contains spoilers for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Many gamers eagerly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor before the game was officially announced. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was such a fantastic experience that audiences wanted a sequel, and Respawn Entertainment has delivered. Well, mostly delivered. The story and design are worthy successors, but the performance, especially on PC, is not. While Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is arguably one of the best Soulslike games out there and is an excellent example of how to produce a licensed title. Thanks to Fallen Order’s reception and sales, a sequel was a foregone conclusion, and now the wait for Jedi: Survivor it is almost over. EA officially announced Star

The conclusion of Star Wars Celebration 2023 ushered in a new era for the franchise with plenty of thrilling projects announced and highly-anticipated productions finally being previewed.

Obviously, the idea that games don’t (or can’t) tell compelling stories is an antiquated notion that is slowly fading from the public consciousness. Yet,

Dead Island 2’s best moments are also its most ridiculous. Discovering that you can acquire superpowers. Setting your feet on fire and dropkicking a horde of zombies into a pile of gasoline cans. Finding an axe that’s basically a flame thrower and a pistol that’s actually a rocket launcher. These are the kinds of moments

On the surface, Dead Island 2 and Dying Light 2 look and play like very similar games. Not surprising since they both can trace their roots back to 2011’s Dead Island. After working on that game, developer Techland went off down their own path to create the spiritual sequel Dying Light, followed by Dying Light

Video games are getting bigger and bigger. Sure, some developers are masters of minimizing disk space, but some new releases are demanding as much as 150 GB of SSD space. As we enter the busy season for such new releases, you’ll probably find yourself quickly running out of space. So unless you plan on deleting

What good is a zombie apocalypse if you can’t survive it with your friends? Some of the best zombie games on the planet feature co-op, and Dead Island 2 is one of them. The original Dead Island is a great zombie title that emphasized RPG-like leveling and skills, a looter shooter-esque weapon system, and co-op.
