Hyenas should be a wake-up call for the video game industry. Pouring millions of dollars into a live-service shooter and hurling its creation onto an experienced developer is not a recipe for guaranteed success. Talented individuals working away in the trenches are forced to take the brunt of punishment after boardroom executives with more money than sense make stupid decision after stupid decision. In a desperate bid to replicate the success ofFortniteandApex Legends, the Japanese publisher decided to bankroll a project that was doomed from the start....

Like many other sandbox games,Cyberpunk 2077has its own police force. But also like other sandbox games, they hardly pose much of a threat. If you’re caught committing a crime, just speed away from them for a minute or so, and all is forgiven. Hell, you’re able to go on a murder spree and just hide behind a wall. Eventually, they’ll call it a day and end the manhunt. Finally, that’s all changed with theCyberpunk 2077 version 2....

People really didn’t likeDead Space 3. It moved from horror into action with an emphasis on co-op, serving as theResident Evil 5of the series. It does have its fans (I like it, sue me), but most look at it with disdain, marking it as little more than a blemish on an otherwise iconic horror series. Even co-producer and writer Chuck Beaver isn’t fond of it. As reported byPCGamesN, Beaver said in an interview with the CaptainBribo podcast, “Now in this remake territory, I would redo Dead Space 3 almost completely, but I would keep the lore beat it’s predicated on, and I would have Ellie there but in a different relationship [with Isaac] and redo the entire main story”....

Lorcanais the all-newDisneytrading card game that has been quite the hit since it finally officially launched over the summer. That has been both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because, well, it’s pretty great and it’s encouraging to see so many people getting into it. A curse because the limited stock has been predictably bought up by scalpers and is now being sold for inflated prices. Ravensburger already confirmedThe First Chapter will be getting a reprint, but now that good news has become great news....

This article contains spoilers for an early puzzle in Cocoon. Cocoonis the kind of game that makes it tempting to reach for a guide. But in my three hours with the indie puzzler so far, I’ve found that it rewards sitting with its stumpers until you start to see its world the way it wants you to. Even if, initially, they look unsolvable. In the new adventure game from Jeppe Carlsen, lead gameplay designer of Playdead’sLimboandInside, you play as a little bug creature wandering a top-down world and solving puzzles as you go....

A new ESRB rating forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second part of Square Enix’s reimagining of the original, confirms that there will be “characters impaled or slashed by swords”. If you’ve played the original, you’ll get why that’s significant. If you haven’t… Spoilers for the original Final Fantasy 7 follow. In Final Fantasy 7, when Aeirth looks up to Cloud, Sephiroth appears and impales her with his sword, killing her. Rebirth is a reimagining, so this ESRB line doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll have to suffer through her death all over again, but it does mean that somebody will likely die at his hands in much the same fashion 27 years later....

You’d thinkAhsokacoming toFortnitewould be the biggest news of the new update, right? The Jedi has been a fan favouriteStar Warscharacter for years, finally getting her live-action show too. So it was a little odd when her Fortnite reveal was pretty nonchalant, not even appearing in the cinematic that was released for chapter four, season four’s launch. In the cinematic, we see all of the other new skins in action, including the famousTikTokkerKhaby Lame....

Baldur’s Gate 3is a hit so far, amassing way more players thanLarian Studioswas expecting. But as itclimbs through the Steam charts, there was no way that it was going to please everyone. Lo and behold, a few days after launch, a group of gamers have come together to share their grievances with the ultra-popular RPG. It just so happens that these grievances are pretty daft. On Steam, dudebros are crying that othermale characters are hitting on them....

Not counting the banger year that we’re currently in, 2020 was one of the best for video games in the last decade, with incredible releases likeThe Last of Us Part 2,Final Fantasy 7 Remake,Animal Crossing: New Horizons, andCyberpunk 2077… eventually. As great as those triple-A heavy-hitters were, one of my favourite 2020 releases was one that came out of nowhere -Ghostrunner. A lovechild ofMirror’s Edgeand Hotline Miami, Ghostrunner quickly became one of my all-time favourites thanks to its one-hit twitch-reflex combat, white-knuckle precision platforming, and electric soundtrack....

When gaming, it is very easy to see the media that you enjoy neatly fit into different boxes. Often when games are announced, it will become very clear what genre or gameplay style they fit into, and this is designed to appeal to fans of this genre. However, this is not the case for all games. Related:Video Games With Unique PvP Every now and then, a game will launch that plays in an incredibly unique way, or has a combination of styles so specific that it is unable to fit into a genre specification....

Quick Links Lords Of The Fallenis a tough game that demands patience and skill, much like other soulslike titles. As you play, you’ll face numerous challenges from enemies to bosses, but you will also find a variety of equipment to help you overcome them. This includes weapons, shields, armor, and more. However, as you progress further in the game, your enemies grow stronger and you need to do the same. To match this rising difficulty, upgrading your gear becomes essential....

Quick Links Tyranitar and thePokemon TCGaren’t good friends. Whenever Tyranitar gets a card, it’s more of a second-tier card unsuitable for high-level competitive matches. This is the main reason why this Tyranitar ex Deck is so special. RELATED:Pokemon TCG: Charizard Ex Deck Guide While there are decks with better overall stats out there, Tyranitar ex is one of the best Tera cards out there because of its massive amount of HP and his powerful attacks, and it’s also in a striking deck because it uses not-so-common and situational cards that have a hard fit elsewhere....
