The open-world action game has come a long way since release.

When Generation Zero launched four years back, it sure left a lot to be desired. The game felt mechanically clunky and there were a myriad of other issues that just left a bit of a sour taste in a lot of players' mouths. Since that release, developer Systemic Reaction has released numerous updates, fixes, and quite a bit of additional content (some free, some paid) that have pushed the game to sitting at a comfy "Mostly...

The rain effects seen in recent trailers will be altered with a patch.

Capcom says they are readying a day one patch for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake that will, among other things, tone back the jarring rain effects seen in recently gameplay footage.

The official Twitter account for Hogwarts Legacy says that this delay is...

The game is good now. Trust me.

Battlefield 2042 is in a place where I would consider the game to be good. Great? Eh, maybe a little bit of a stretch. It's been an absolute blast to play over the past few months thanks to DICE's continued efforts to right the wrong that was the game's initial launch.

It should then be good news to PlayStation Plus subscribers to learn that Battlefield 2042 can be added to their accounts at no extra cost. This is for both PlayStation 4...

Sony's Santa Monica Studio called it an oversight.

Developers working at Sony's Santa Monica Studio didn't realize that backseating companions would be annoying to players. None is the issue of backseating companions more evident than in Santa Monica's own God of War Ragnarök. Want a moment to look at a puzzle before attempting to solve it? Too bad because here comes Mimir or Atreus with an unsolicited hint.

Earlier this week, MinnMax conducted an interview with God of...

I think this whole Last of Us thing might be kind of popular.

It looks like The Last of Us HBO series is pulling in quite the crowd. We already know that the debut episode did exceptionally well for the network, but there was another added boon. Sales of The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us: Remastered are up 322% in the UK.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, the 2022 remake for the PlayStation 5 re-entered the top sales charts in the 20th spot for the week ending January...

The classic (and difficult) RPG is coming to several modern platforms.

THQ Nordic says that the classic RPG Risen is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on January 24, 2023. This action-RPG dates back to 2009 when it was first released on PC and the Xbox 360 and is a damn fine RPG that doesn't shy away from being brutally difficult at times. The Risen titles are essentially the spiritual successor to the equally difficult Gothic franchise.

Weirdly, THQ...
