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...

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...

    A 60FPS performance mode is supposedly coming later.

    Cyberpunk 2077's New, Extremely Taxing Ray Tracing Mode is Here

    A mode to bring even the top-end RTX 4090 to its knees.

    Cyberpunk 2077 was updated today with a new and very, very demanding ray tracing option. Beyond the existing "Psycho" RT mode, players will now see an "Overdrive" mode that goes well above and beyond what you're used to seeing. This is the mode that utilizes path-tracing, which can otherwise be considered to be "full" ray tracing.

    While Nvidia says that any GPU with hardware ray tracing...

    Dead Island 2 Requires a Beefy CPU on PC

    If you run above 1080p/30fps, you're going to need a beefy CPU.

    The system requirements for the PC version of Dead Island 2 were shared earlier today. Deep Silver revealed the requirements alongside a technical FAQ that explains a bit on what players can expect.

    Some of the bits of information gathered from that FAQ are rather important details to know. For instance, Dead Island 2 will not support cross-play, but it will support co-op for up to three players. There will...

    It comes a little late, but Denuvo being removed is always good news.

    In May 2021, Capcom launch Resident Evil Village. That launch, like many of Capcom's other recent PC releases, included the anti-piracy software known as Denuvo. Now, in April 2023, it looks like Capcom finally removed Denuvo from Village.

    What Are the Different Types of Online Slots?


    While the global iGaming market features a number of fun and immersive verticals, there’s no doubt that slots continue to dominate. This vertical certainly dominates the market’s gross gaming yield (GGY), while contributing the vast majority of games and titles.

    However, the slot niche is considerably more diverse than it’s initially given credit for. At Estafa.info, which reviews the best casinos to play online slots in the USA, you can find a brief breakdown of the different...

  • 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....
