Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)

Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.

Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...
 

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...

Valve just released a new beta update for Steam that includes a wealth of new features, updated old features, and some under the hood changes. While we don't typically write about updates released for the Steam Client Beta, this particular update had enough cool new features that it was worth a mention.

Right now, you can opt into the new beta for the Steam client that makes some drastic changes to the In-Game Overlay. Now, you...
 

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...

  • What Are the Benefits of Playing Video Games?

    What Are the Benefits of Playing Video Games?


    When people think of video games and the act of playing them, they do not normally do so with the notion that there are benefits to playing them in mind. This point of view is easy to understand though as many might see someone who plays video games a lot as unproductive. However, video games are just like any other entertainment, such as movies, TV and even gambling. There is no doubt that online casinos are growing, and as they do, more people are turning to play and are discovering the...

    Unfortunately, having outstanding content isn't enough to convince everyone to follow you on Instagram. As with all social networks, a specialized approach must be implemented to fulfill the needs of users....

    Mario Kart 9 May Feature a New Way to Play

    Is it rollerblades? Can we finally skitch in Mario Kart?

    He says that he is "aware Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still selling very well on the Nintendo Switch, but Mario Kart 9 is in...

  • Battlefield 2042 Subreddit May Close Due to Toxic Fanbase

    Battlefield 2042 Subreddit May Close Due to Toxic Fanbase

    Gamers and toxicity, name a more iconic duo.

    Battlefield 2042 is a broken mess of a game. We all know this. Nothing has changed since our review for Battlefield 2042 went up in December. This is largely due to the fact that the development teams at DICE went on holiday break for a couple of weeks, like most of us probably did for Christmas and New Years.

    After all, the developers did work for a long time on Battlefield 2042 regardless of the current state of the game or...

    Konami and GameStop Hop on the NFT Scam

    Because everyone needed more reasons to dislike either company.

    The gaming world will soon have two additional outlets for NFT scams thanks to both Konami and GameStop. Both companies announced that they are getting into the NFT crypto world with a couple of different approaches.

    First up, Konami is set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Castlevania franchise. There's almost something poetic about celebrating a game series about blood-sucking demons by selling jpgs...

    Get a look at the two main skill trees available in Dying Light 2.

    Dying Light 2 Stay Human is less than a month away from its February 4 release. We have seen a bunch of new gameplay and had information shared with us through the Dying 2 Know video series, but that doesn't mean that everything was revealed. Today, Techland shared information on the two main skill trees that will be available to main protagonist Aiden Caldwell.

    Summer Game Fest Returning this Summer

    An ever-opportunistic Geoff Keighley announced the return earlier today.

    Shortly after news started to break about E3 cancelling their in-person event for 2022, and possibly being cancelled altogether, Geoff Keighley jumped on to Twitter to tell everyone that the Summer Game Fest will return this year.

    He made the quick reveal on Twitter, having only posted a picture of the Summer Game Fest logo accompanied by the words "returns Summer 2022."

  • Some Twitter User Says Half-Life: Alyx is Coming to PlayStation VR2

    Some Twitter User Says Half-Life: Alyx is Coming to PlayStation VR2

    Hot off the rumor mill from the most trustworthy of sources.

    Fairly random Twitter user @Shpeshal_Nick says that Half-Life: Alyx is coming to PlayStation VR2. This person isn't completely random. They are Nick Baker, the co-founder of XboxEra.com and co-host of a podcast of the same name. So, it's not like Joe Dingleberry is out there making these claims, but this is hardly an official source making them either.

    In responding to a question about whether or not Valve would...

    E3 2022 In-Person Event Cancelled as Online Event Remains in Question

    By this point, nothing should surprise you.

    The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced that they have cancelled any sort of in-person event for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) for 2022. The reason for this change is due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps you've heard of it?

    The group says that "due to the ongoing health risks surrounding COVID-19 and its potential impact on the safety of exhibitors and attendees, E3 will not be held...

  • DICE Removes Battlefield 2042 Rush Mode from Portal

    DICE Removes Battlefield 2042 Rush Mode from Portal

    This comes as the player count begins to hit all-time lows.

    Prior to going on their holiday break, DICE added in a Battlefield 2042 Rush mode to Battlefield Portal. It proved to be a fairly popular mode, at least as far as Portal modes are concerned. It was the much enjoyed Rush mode but played out across the Battlefield 2042 maps, something that just isn't possible in the main game. DICE kept it up longer than most other modes and fans seemed to be pleased.

    Unfortunately,...

    CES 2022 is underway, though there really isn't much of an "in-person" presence this year. Even still, some new tech was announced on the first day that was worth sharing. AMD and Nvidia both announced new releases of their current lineup of Radeon and GeForce cards respectively. Intel announced its first generation of Arc series GPUs.

  • What June 2023 Games Releases Will You Buy?
    by Shawn Zipay
    It's a fairly stacked month.

    May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.

    There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....
