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...

    Ubisoft Devs Don't Want to Work on Assassin's Creed Codename Red Due to Lead's Abuse Allegations

    And now for more bad news about Ubisoft.

    Ubisoft recently revealed a bunch of new Assassin's Creed games they are working on for the foreseeable future. One of those games is called "Codename Red" and it is an Assassin's Creed game that fans have been begging for, for several years now. It's set to take place in Japan and you're going to play as a cool ninja. Sounds great!... There's just a bit of an issue.

    It seems as though several Ubisoft developers do not...

    Another showcase means it's time for a new dose of NewsBits.

    What's that smell? It's kind of musky with a hint of gamer sweat. That's right, it's a NewsBits. Today's latest NewsBits is all about that Ubisoft Forward stream that took place over the past weekend. Ubisoft showed off a bunch of games that are either getting fresh content or are entirely new.

    Everything Shown at the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase 2022

    A show so underwhelming, no single announcement is worthy of its own post.

    If you missed out on the first-ever Disney and Marvel Games Showcase at D23 2022, you really didn't miss much of anything. I mean it. That show was boring. We were given some updated looks at already announced games, some mobile stuff, a new visual novel Tron game, and some early mockups for a game that is so far away from being released it doesn't even have a title yet.

    AGDQ 2023 Goes Digital Only Because Florida is an Anti-Trans Hellhole

    It's Florida vs Texas in a race to the bottom.

    The speedrunning charity marathon, Games Done Quick, says that their next major event will be online-only. The organizers for Games Done Quick say that Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) 2023 will not be held as an in-person event in Florida as originally planned. The main reasons for this move to being online are two-fold: Florida's "continued disregard for COVID-19's dangers and an increased aggression towards LGBTQ+ individuals."...
