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...
 

Latest Steam Beta Makes Major Overhaul to the In-game Overlay

Watch YouTube, take notes, chat, and more.

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...
 

Report: E3 2023 is Canceled

This fate was inevitable.

According to a report by IGN, E3 2023 is canceled. This comes after weeks of publishers and gaming companies stating that they were not going to attend E3 this year, including Ubisoft, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Tencent, and more.

IGN's report from March 30 says that two separate sources confirmed with them that the Entertainment Software Association (ESA; the group behind E3) sent out emails to ESA members earlier today announcing the cancellation....

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Brief Gameplay Video

    A very brief look at the action.

    As part of the Skulls Festival held today by Games Workshop, a new but very brief gameplay video for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was shown off. This sequel to the action packed original is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It is expected to be released some time later in 2023.

    In Space Marine 2, you once again fill the giant armored boots of a Space Marine. Go up against hordes of Tyranid with your...

    The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Reviewing Worse than Crime Boss: Rockay City

    Gollum manages to be worse than a game with Vanilla Ice.

    The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was released today and I'm willing to bet that this won't be the last time you hear about this game. No, I suspect that you'll hear a bit more about this game when it comes time for some outlets to talk about the worst games released in 2023.

    Thus far, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is sitting at just a 43% critic average on OpenCritic with only 5% of all critics actually recommending...

    First Bungie Behind the Scenes for Marathon

    A first look at this PvP extraction shooter from Bungie.

    The original Marathon trilogy of titles were first-person shooters set in a sci-fi universe that had a heavy emphasis on storytelling. They were games that were primarily all about the single-player campaign and the story, though there were some competitive multiplayer modes. The last game, Marathon Infinity was first released for Mac in 1996.

    Fast-forward to 2023, some 27 years after the last game was released,...

    The PlayStation Showcase for May 24, 2023 just ended. There were a bunch of trailers shown during the event. Here are most of them save for the ones I miss or forgot about. Yes, this is a Newsbits in all but name, the title was already long enough. The trailers aren't in any order besides the order in which I look at the numerous emails I just received. I've tried to include all release dates and known platforms. There are some that I have only seen ...

    Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn Teaser and Lore Dump

    Just a teaser for a bigger reveal.

    DICE released a little teaser today for Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. This teaser was dropped ahead of a planned larger reveal scheduled for May 26. First off, we learned that Season 5 is being called New Dawn.

    The teaser is just that, a teaser of the upcoming gameplay reveal on the 26th at 8AM (PT). It also seems to hold a little more than meets the eye at first glance. For instance, is that morse code I hear? Secondly, what does 1 11...

    Vehicle Reworks Coming in Battlefield 2042 Season 5

    Less explosives, category adjustments, and more.

    DICE just detailed the changes that are coming to vehicle loadouts for Battlefield 2042 in Season 5. While the general changes may not seem like a whole lot at a glance, they are rather big in the grand scheme of things. For instance, DICE is pulling explosives from several vehicles to have them be less of a "jack of all trades" sort of thing and to better fit the roles they were designed for. There is also a small shuffle to move the...

    Dress as Kratos while rocking a Ghost shell from The Last of Us.

    The newest season for Destiny 2 released today. With today's release of Season of the Deep, there are new story missions to play through, a new dungeon, updates to the PvP Crucible modes, new and updated weapons and gear, and more. Part of that "and more" seems to be the addition of fishing! That's neat.

    Perhaps just as neat is a little partnership Bungie made with PlayStation to bring some themed...

    Mortal Kombat 1 is Another 100GB Title

    To think my friend in high school said an 80GB drive was more than enough.

    Mortal Kombat 1 was announced last week with a big, flashy CG trailer. Since then, the game started to appear on various storefronts, offering potential players a chance to pre-order one of the game's different editions.

    One of those storefronts is none other than Steam. As Steam is a PC-focused storefront it stands to reason that some system requirements for Mortal Kombat 1 were also shared, and...

    by Shawn Zipay
    There are plenty of options to choose from.

    In case you haven't heard, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom this past week and what do you know, it's pretty damn good. That said, this month's poll is about which Legend of Zelda games you prefer more.

    Are you more of a fan of the 2D Legend of Zelda titles? These include games like the original Zelda games for the NES, games like A Link to the Past, Four Swords, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, A Link to the...
