After Us Review (PS5)

After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.

A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...
 

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

    Resident Evil 4 HD Project is Out Now

    HD ALL THE THINGS!

    As promised, the full (and presumably) final release of the Resident Evil 4 HD Project is now publicly available to download. This free, fan-created project has been several years in the making by just two super dedicated fans. According to the project's "by the numbers" page (which hasn't been updated since March 2021 mind you), the pair have clocked over 12,700 hours on the project over the past seven years. They even had expenses totaling over $15,000...

    Battlefield 2042 Season One Delayed Until Summer

That means there will not be any new maps, weapons, gadgets, Specialists, or whatever until at least late June. While there wasn't really any official date previously announced, the running theory is that Season One would...

  • Out of Touch Ubisoft Executive Says Gamers 'Don't Get It' When it Comes to NFTs

    NFTs continue to be a scam.

    Remember how back in December 2021, Ubisoft announced Ubisoft Quartz, which was a series of new NFTs that aim to fleece enrich the lives of video game players? The response to Quartz was super expected by anybody with even half a brain: Nobody wanted it. Nobody saw the benefit of it. Everybody saw it as a way to just squeeze more cash out of people by artificially creating scarcity using a system known to be harmful to the environment and used only by the...
