In recent years Konami has remembered it owns a series called Metal Gear, and last month saw the release of the (pretty good) Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This UE5 remake of MGS3 was as faithful as they come, possibly too faithful if anything, but it at least shows Konami is capable of producing…
Few ideas have as universal an appeal as the space bounty hunter: a character archetype that blends all the best bits of wandering ronin and western gunslingers and gives them a cool spaceship and a jetpack. But while almost everyone wants to be Boba Fett, videogames have given us few chances to live out that…
I have this uneasy feeling that, in a different life, I was a speedrunner. Not because I’m doing the videogame equivalent of ‘I could paint that’ at an art exhibit, but because whenever I sit down to play one of these games, I wind up glued to my screen for an hour in a self-perfecting…

The Outer Worlds, Obsidian’s more-anti-corporate-than-anti-capitalist RPG, is set for a sequel. To hear our own Ted Litchfield tell it, that sequel might even be quite good. But there’s an irony here, isn’t there? The Outer Worlds 1 was conceived of in a whole other era, before Obsidian was snapped up by Microsoft (though it did…
When I reviewed The Edge of Fate, I had plenty of issues with the new direction Destiny 2 was taking. The expansion itself was… fine—a few highlights, but mostly unremarkable. The more pressing issue was the Portal, the new hub for Destiny 2’s seasonal power grind. Still, I figured I’d give it a chance. Maybe…
