Dying Light pretty much raised the bar for all zombie games when it released in 2015, so it’s no surprise that fans have been anticipating Dying Light 2 Stay Human (pretty much unanimously referred to simply as Dying Light 2) since then. Now that the sequel is finally out — and already seeing a higher […]
When it was released in 2016, UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End pretty much redefined adventure video games. The end of Nathan Drake’s journey won dozens of awards, was nominated for dozens more and set a standard that wouldn’t soon be surpassed. As of last week, UNCHARTED 4 has been remastered and re-released for PS5 (and […]
There’s no shortage of video games that want to bring music to the forefront, but few (or none) of them do it quite like The Artful Escape. With a storyline centered around music, gameplay that intentionally feels more like the badassery of a concert than the challenge of a video game, and enough classic rock […]
On paper, After the Fall is yet another zombie apocalypse-based virtual reality game. In 2022, that’s not exactly newsworthy. Hell, the title’s Dutch developers at Vertigo Games have even already released one of the genre’s earliest defining games with 2016’s Arizona Sunshine.

Roughly 23 years ago, Canadian musician Paul Ruskay quit his day job to compose the soundtrack for the first project from an indie game developer based in Vancouver called Relic Entertainment. It was a little real-time strategy title set in a sci-fi universe, and the development for the game was anything but smooth (as debut […]
When Dead Cells released into early access back in 2017, the action-heavy roguelike immediately began garnering praise for its depth of combat and gameplay. But what even the most glowing reviews couldn’t have predicted was that as the game enters its fifth year in the public eye, its player base is not only remaining rock […]
Halo is back. For fans of Xbox’s signature series, it’s been nearly a half-decade since the release of underwhelming spinoff, Halo Wars 2, and over 6 years since the last title in the main series (the divisive Halo 5). But with Halo Infinite, Master Chief is finally back to blast and smash his way back […]
As is the case with many video games published by Annapurna Interactive, there’s nothing quite like A Memoir Blue on the market. The upcoming title developed by Cloisters Interactive will undoubtedly be labeled as “games as art,” “interactive story” and a whole lot of other relatively meaningless subgenres to say that it boasts a unique […]
On March 31, 2016, times were simpler. Obama was president. Harambe was alive. Global pandemics were reserved for sci-fi movies. Things were generally going pretty well. To make things even better, that was the day when developer and creative director Alx Preston of Heart Machine released Hyper Light Drifter into the world. An acclaimed and […]
