Back at Summer Game Fest in June, I played some Crimson Desert and my mind was blown with just how dense its systems were. At PAX West, I had the chance to play a near identical demo on a new build…

LEGO games always have a certain charm and humor to them that always makes for a good time. That same wit, whacky, and unserious atmosphere permeates LEGO Party. Is it Mario Party? Well, yes but also…

I had a chance to play Crimson Desert for about an hour at Summer Game Fest Play Days, and I’m finding it hard to put into words just what I played. That’s not because it’s bad or anything, just that…

I love it when Capcom makes games that aren't from an established franchise. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and others as much as everyone else, but completely new IPs are…

Hatred paves a fierce and ugly path to some of the worst humanity has to offer. It's in many games to justify violence, aggression, and prejudice, though few explore it in a visceral, gut-wrenching…

Remedy is well-known for being wonderfully weird, so it’s no surprise to learn that FBC: Firebreak is an exercise in using the insane to kill the horrifying demon-like Hiss. It’s mechanically dense…

When I think of Bandai Namco games, titles like Unknown 9: Awakening don't really come to mind first. They're like the Dark Pictures Anthology to me—known titles, but not immediately a "Bandai Namco…

SteamWorld is host to a myriad of titles spanning across multiple genres. You have the base-building sim SteamWorld Build, or even the turn-based RPG SteamWorld Quest. As a tactics fan, my personal…

I'm always on the search for the next "podcast game," as I like to call them. You know the type of game you can just have going on one screen, with videos, music, or podcasts rolling in the…
