One of the best Wii U titles gets new life. The Wii U as a system may have been a colossal flop for Nintendo, but the game library itself was full of gems that it would be tragic to see stranded on that system alone. As a result, there have been numerous ports to the Nintendo Switch for many of these games over the last few years, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze....
Whose story are you going to follow? The moment you begin your adventure in Scarlet Nexus, you will be tasked with picking the character you want to play as. There are two available options, as the story of the new Bandai Namco title is told through two different narratives. While the overall experience is kind of the same, as you will be traversing through similar areas and even the stories of the two characters will connect at some point, their gameplay is quite different, alongside some other minor changes which we won’t spoil here....
It’s easy to feel skepticism over a Disney crossover, and the announcement of Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life, an expansion based on Pirates of the Caribbean, was undercut by exhaustion over the film series and the character of Captain Jack Sparrow in general. But developer Rare explained their vision for this set of five Tall Tale story missions, describing it as not just a tribute to the films, but the Disney theme park ride as well....
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is full of bosses, from the first few steps you take in Ashina Outskirts, the great foes you face later down the road, each with a rich, unique quality to them. That said, the Demon of Hatred is one of the tougher bosses you’re going to face in the game. It’s going to feel difficult, and it’s not going to come at you with ease. It’s stacking up all the skills you’ve learned up to this point....
According to recent financial reports from Kadokawa, the parent company of From Software, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has sold 3.8 million copies as of June 30. The game was already well on it’s way to passing the Dark Souls 2 series for sales, racking up two million sales just ten days after release. Despite the intense difficulty of the game, the sales figures imply that people were not put off by this and were happy to engage with From Software’s challenging action game....
While completing the Unruly Brother story quest in Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you’ll have to make a brief choice before you venture into the location to find Barney.

There’s nothing out there quite like a good survival horror experience, not only immersing you in the extreme need to survive but scaring you in the process (in one way or another). Just look at the Silent Hill games as a good example, bringing about not only all these elements but a great and thought-provoking story as well. There’s plenty out there for sure, but only a select few manage to breach the fold and provide something truly unique and memorable for their fans....
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for Nintendo Switch is a great game. The port is solid, and the added ability to take the game anywhere is simply fantastic. While the performance isn’t as polished as is seen on other platforms, the Switch handles the game surprisingly well. One of the few drawbacks is a bit of a cumbersome default control scheme, that can be confusing to players expecting something else. One thing that was frustrating was figuring out how to run in Skyrim for Switch, so here’s the answer…...
Overwatch’s Lunar New Year event for Year of the Rat has just started, and players are already having fun exploring the details in the new cosmetic items. Sombra’s new Legendary skin, Face Changer, is based on the Chinese performance art called Bian Lian, in which actors wear decorative masks that they change with a quick swipe of their fan, or hand. It is often done in time with fast-paced, dramatic music....
Following the reveal of the Xbox One, the gaming community lashed out at Microsoft for their intentions to implement unfriendly consumer practices. A system that would effectively alter the way that the games industry has operated for decades was so hated, that Microsoft did a 180 on their policies regarding DRM, used games, and online connections. Now it seems that there are some that want those features back in the Xbox One....

As the holiday season is upon us, and Christmas is already here, several gaming marketplaces have started giving heavy discounts on video games. Valve, as announced earlier, has started offering discounts on various titles on Steam as part of its Steam Winter event, and Epic is giving away 15 games for free over the next few days. Sony has also started offering discounts on a myriad of titles on the PlayStation Store as part of its Holiday Sale event....
Despite some problematic bugs and lobby issues, Proletariat’s battle-royale is a magical experience. Spellbreak is the latest battle-royale to drop into the fight amidst well established games like CoD: Warzone, Apex Legends, and the obvious Fortnite. Rather than try and shake up the established formula, Spellbreak plays it a bit safe in some regards, but its robust, addicting spell-slinging is nearly enough to carry the entire experience. It may not be the most original take on battle-royale at its core, yet sometimes all you need is a damn fine combat system to get people through the door....
One of the major differences and the deciding factor between PlayStation vs Xbox this gen have been the quality first-party singleplayer games. Sony managed to get things right in this department whereas Xbox has failed to achieve anything. It won’t be a hyperbole if I say that almost all Sony’s first-party studios are firing on all cylinders (this generation), here are few examples: Guerilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, From Software’s Bloodborne, Sucker Punch’s Infamous Second Son and Infamous: First Light, and many more....

Star Wars Battlefront launched with a pretty small amount of content, especially when compared with other multiplayer only games. However, EA and DICE have followed up with some free DLC releases that have helped alleviate some of the pain that gamers felt back in November. That help continues tomorrow with a new set of free DLC, which will be followed up by more free expansions before moving on to paid content....
You’re going to need some healing against the tougher enemies. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has a lot of platforming involved where you have to make your way across the different planets, but the combat is every bit as important as well. Unless you are playing on the lowest difficulty level, you are definitely going to take some damage at times, so healing is going to come in very handy. This guide will explain how you can heal in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order....
Multiple sources claim that Motive Studios’ next game, a Star Wars title tentatively called Project Maverick, will be finally revealed in the coming days. The news initially broke thanks to a known Star Wars insider, who pointed out fans “should keep an eye out next week,” mentioning a previous tweet from his that claimed, “Motive is currently working on a Star Wars game that hasn’t been fully revealed yet.” Project Maverick had previously popped out of the PlayStation Store through a placeholder listing that even revealed its key art, and was later confirmed to be the SW game from Motive Studios by former Kotaku news editor Jason Schreier....
Stick and throttle works out of the gate, but it’s in need of some fine-tuning. Star Wars: Squadrons is a modern throwback to the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter days, and it has HOTAS support out of the box. Pilots across the galaxy have been wondering what they need to do to get their stick and throttles up and flying, and they’ll be relieved to hear setting up their HOTAS controllers is pretty simple....
