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...

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.

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...

    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...

    Mortal Kombat 1 Announced

    Everything is going back to the beginning.

    It seems like these days that everything is getting rebooted. I believe this all started when Microsoft released the Xbox One despite it being the company's third major console generation. Then there was Battlefield 1. Ever since then there have just been more and more franchise or series reboots.

    Now, Mortal Kombat 1 was announced by Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios. This series reboot is expected to be released this...

    Nicolas Cage Coming to Dead by Daylight

    It's just Nicolas Cage. No, not a role he's played. Just Nicolas Cage.

    Big Hollywood star Nicolas Cage is coming to Dead by Daylight as a playable character later this summer. No, it's not Cage portraying any one of his numerous film characters or anything like that. It's just the man, the actor, the legend himself being his very Nicolas Cage self as a playable character.

  • 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....
