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...

    Blizzard to Potentially Sell Overwatch Skins for $45

    So long loot boxes, hello overpriced microtransactions.

    When Overwatch 2 launches later this year, the loot boxes we have all come to know and hate will be no more. Replacing the RNG-filled boxes will be seasonal Battle Passes and apparently some optional cosmetic microtransactions that will allow you to, presumably, buy the skins you want without delay.

    This all sounds super great, until you hear that Blizzard recently sent out a survey that seems to suggest they are...

    Nier: Automata's Mystery Door was an Elaborate Ruse

    It started with a door and ended in a way very few people expected.

    Recently, a Reddit user known as sadfutago posted a video on Reddit that showed a door, a hallway, and a location that no other Nier: Automata player had ever seen before. It sent the community into a frenzy. How did that door appear? What is the meaning behind the church location behind the door?

    In June, sadfutago posted a simple thread asking the community for some help in opening a mysterious door...

    As Complaints Grow, Mojang Says They Won't Back Down from Minecraft's New Reporting System

    The new system will let players report chat messages in multiplayer games, even in private servers.

    A new user reporting system was just added to a pre-release build of Minecraft that has large swaths of the community crying foul. As part of this week's 1.19.1 update to Minecraft, this new reporting system allows players both on private, self-hosted servers and Mojang-hosted servers to flag inappropriate chat messages. These messages will then, allegedly, be reviewed by Mojang and...

    Steam Client Update for July 27, 2022

    Haven't had one of these bad boys in a while.

    Remember when Steam was still in its infancy and every update was a relatively major news event? Those have largely gone by the wayside these days as Steam updates are a dime a dozen and outside of a new feature here or there, there really isn't much to write about when a new update lands.

    Today's update is no different. Frankly, I'm just writing about this new update because I happened to see that it was just released, and...

    MultiVersus is Already Proving to be a Smash Hit

    Popular characters and a free-to-play model make for a good combination.

    Just yesterday, platform fighter MultiVersus launched into open beta. So far, the response from gamers has been overwhelmingly positive. The new brawler from Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games is hitting peaks in excess of 152,000 players just on Steam.

    According to Steam's "most played" charts, this places MultiVersus in fourth place, behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota...

  • 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....
