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. 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...

    Halo Infinite Multiplayer's Desync Issue Won't be Fixed

    343 Industries says that the devs who would fix it are working on other things.

    An issue that has plagued Halo Infinite's multiplayer mode may not get fixed any time soon, or possibly at all. At seemingly random times, there will be some synchronization issues in multiplayer that lead to situations where melee attacks just flat out don't register. The client and server each think that the players are in different positions than what the player sees on their screen.

    Halo Infinite Campaign Co-op Preview

    343 Industries provides a fresh look at the co-op experience coming soon-ish.

    For fans of Halo co-op experiences, the omission of the feature from Halo Infinite's launch did not go unnoticed. Developer 343 Industries said that network campaign co-op would come after launch and well, they seem to be sticking to that statement. Today, the studio shared some new information about Halo Infinite's campaign co-op experience.

    First off, the feature will enter into the testing...

    Arkane Offers a More Focused Look at Redfall

    Another video to again try to make sense of just what Redfall is and is not.

    Earlier in June, Arkane showed off some new Redfall gameplay footage during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase event. It seems as though the marketing for the game hasn't yet clearly conveyed to players what exactly the game is all about.

    For instance, despite all prior marketing talking about Redfall's co-op experience, we learned that only the host of a game will make progress in the campaign....

    Parts of Half-Life 2 Are Playable in Portal on Switch

    There's always more than meets the eye when it comes to Portal.

    It was only a day ago when Valve released Portal: The Companion Collection on the Nintendo Switch. This compilation of both Portal and Portal 2 offered Switch owners a chance to play these classics for the first time on a Nintendo product.

    It took less than a day of availability before people found out that significant chunks of Half-Life 2 were tucked neatly away in the files for Portal. The discovery was...

    First Official Benchmarks for Intel Arc GPUs are Shockingly Bad

    It is, on average, 15% slower than GPUs released three years ago.

    Intel's first discreet graphics card, the Arc A380, was released! Well, it was released, but only in China so far. If nothing else, Intel fulfilled their promise of releasing their first discreet Arc GPU.

    The first official benchmarks for the Intel Arc A380 have naturally started to trickle out and the results are not great. These "official" reviews come courtesy of Intel directly via their reviewer's...

  • 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....
