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...

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...

    EA Releases Statement on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Technical Nightmare

    Enough with the excuses.

    If you haven't yet heard, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor came out today and wow is it ever a mess. The game suffers from a myriad of technical issues across all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and especially PC.

    Platforms have exhibited everything from textures and objects taking upwards of 15 seconds to load into a scene, to "Performance" modes on consoles struggling hard to hit 60FPS, dropped frames and inconsistent frame times...

    UK Markets Authority Throws Shade at Nintendo Hardware

    At least this one isn't about cloud gaming.

    The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) blocked the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard on the grounds of how it would stifle cloud gaming competition. As absolutely ridiculous as that sounds, that wasn't the only weird thing the CMA decreed during yesterday's vote and report.

    The CMA also claims in their final report (PDF link) that Nintendo's consoles are not technically capable of running games like Call of...

    Quantum Break Returns to Steam and Game Pass

    The licensing issues were resolved in less than a month.

    On April 7, 2023 Remedy Entertainment pulled Quantum Break from both Steam and Game Pass on the PC. At the time, Remedy says that the game was pulled while they work out some issues centering on expired licenses. It was also at that time that Remedy says the process to renew those licenses had already begun.

    Today, Quantum Break returns to both Steam and Game Pass. That's especially good news for Steam users because...

    AMD Issues Statement on Ryzen 7000 Burnout Issues

    The issues may be tied to excess voltage from overclocking.

    Some users on AMD's new AM5 platform have started to report that their new Ryzen processors have burnt out. Users across Reddit and other social media sites have shared their stories showing visible damage to both their Ryzen 7000 CPUs and to the motherboard socket. These issues have not been limited to any single motherboard vendor.

    Metacritic to Finally Implement Better Moderation to Combat Review Bombing

    Expect to start seeing these changes in the months ahead.

    A long, long overdue overhaul to Metacritic's extremely lax moderation is finally being worked on following yet another round of "abusive and disrespectful" user reviews.

    I will say upfront that this story will contain spoilers for the recently released Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. I would strongly advise you to stop reading right now if you do not want to have anything about that game spoiled...

  • 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....
