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...

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...

    Volition Promises a Major Saints Row Bug Fix Update for November

    The company also revealed some rather anemic sales figures.

    The new Saints Row game had a hell of a rocky launch. It was panned by critics and fans alike for its myriad of bugs, performance issues, and repetitive gameplay. Sadly, while the gameplay part can't just be easily "fixed," the bugs and other issues can be addressed and that is precisely what Volition plans to do.

    In late November, Volition says they will release a major update to the game that will tackle...

    Modern Warfare 2 Players Need a Phone Number to Play

    Pre-paid phone numbers may not work.

    Activision Blizzard seems to be very keen on ensuring their potential players have mobile phones. You guys all have phones, right? When Overwatch 2 launched just last week, Blizzard had a policy in place right from the get-go that you needed a cellphone in order to play the game. The catch there was that this ruled out those using pre-paid phones.

    For a lot of people, this meant that they were now unable to play the game (Overwatch)...

    Arkane Confirms Longstanding Fan Belief About Deathloop

    Fans have believed this to be the case for a long time now.

Besides sharing some of that familiar Arkane gameplay style, the two feature a number of similarities. These range from certain environmental design elements to the fact that both games share some similar usable abilities like Shift and Blink, among others. A weapon in Deathloop, named the...

    Origin is Dead, Long Live the 'EA App'

    EA says that Origin is now legacy software on PC.

    If you are still running the Origin client from EA, I just have to ask: What's it like living in the past, old man?! You need to get with the times and download the new EA app. This new launcher with the beyond generic name has been in development for well over two years at this point. It was announced as an update and rebranding for the Origin client on PC and, well, it's here. Yay?

    EA says that the EA app (no actual capitalization...

  • 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....
