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...

  • Elden Ring's Radahn Boss Gets Un-Nerfed in Latest Patch

    Elden Ring's Radahn Boss Gets Un-Nerfed in Latest Patch

    A new update includes just one change but it's a big one for those who hate nerfs.

    A small update was released earlier today for Elden Ring. This April 4 patch is available for all platforms that the game is currently available on. Though small in size, this patch has some big repercussions for players who have not yet defeated one of the game's main boss encounters.

    Back when Elden Ring's patch 1.03 came out, it included a number of little adjustments to the game. Some...

    First Episode of Halo TV Series is Free on YouTube for a Week

    No Paramount+ subscription required but act fast.

    Paramount+ just released the first episode of the Halo TV series for free on YouTube. This freebie will be yours to watch for a limited time before being removed on April 7. Oh, you also have to be in a region where Paramount+ is available in order to watch it on YouTube.

    I'm simply going to link to the first episode of Halo on YouTube, because embedding it is probably a crapshoot given YouTube's age restrictions and the...

  • Twitch Disables Paid Channel Boosts Due to Pornography

    Twitch Disables Paid Channel Boosts Due to Pornography

    Twitch being horny on main.

    Late last year, Twitch began to test a system that would allow viewers to pay real money to boost a streamer's channel to Twitch's main page. This would perhaps give the streamer some added exposure and help their channel grow. It was also obviously an easy way for Twitch (ie: Amazon) to pull in even more money.

    Today, that grand experiment came to a predictable end. Viewers were using this boost feature to push channels to the main page of...

    Xbox Game Pass Family Plan Reportedly Coming Soon

    Have up to five accounts on one subscription.

    According to a report from Windows Central, Microsoft may soon be adding an often-requested Family Plan to Xbox Game Pass.

    There have been family plans available to those using just Xbox Live Gold for several years now. However, it was curiously missing from Game Pass subscriptions. Game Pass only allowed for one account per subscription and that was it.

    With this proposed Family Plan option, you will be able to...

    E3 2022 is Fully Cancelled

    Oh no, what will we ever do?

    The in-person event for E3 was already cancelled a while back for 2022. The potential was still lingering in the air that a digital event would be held again, as it was in 2021. Thankfully, someone opened up a window and that lingering rumor finally dissipated.

    E3 2022 is cancelled in every regard. There is no in-person event. There is no digital event. It's done. It's gone. It's outta here. Goodbye, E3.

    Both Microsoft and Sony revealed the free games that are coming included in your ongoing subscriptions to both Xbox Live Gold (and Game Pass Ultimate) and PlayStation Plus for April 2022.

    Both platforms are offering up vastly different freebies this month. I'd personally say that the real standout here is Slay the Spire, which will be included in your PlayStation Plus subscription. It's a unique blend of...

    Xbox Backtracks on Sharing Media to Twitter Removal

    The complaints have been heard.

    Some weeks back, newer Insider builds for the Xbox consoles removed the ability to share screenshots and clips directly to Twitter. The only way you would be able to post to Twitter, would have been to first upload the screenshots to the Xbox app on your phone and then send out the Tweets from that.

    Why was this feature removed in the first place? It's not really clear. All that was clear was that users were not happy about this change....

  • 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....
