Indie gaming has spent the last decade slowly working its way through the visual and mechanical styles of yore, starting with 2D pixel platformers before moving to boomer shooters and then PS1-era horror games. As such, it was only a matter of time before they began gazing lasciviously at early noughties blockbusters. I was only…
After more than two years in development, Teardown‘s hotly anticipated multiplayer will finally arrive in March. It’s no tacked-on affair either, with developer Tuxedo Labs bringing a full suite of options to play with pals in its chaotic destruction sim. Teardown’s upcoming multiplayer options include full co-operative functionality for the hitherto single-player campaign, as well…
I love a good moan about Fortnite: about Epic Games vaulting my beloved shockwave grenades, about the sorry state of SMGs, and about a baffling update adding off-brand weapons. So I should give credit where credit’s due. Through careful buffs and bringing back some older weapons, Epic Games has curated the best loot pool in…
If there’s one thing cozy games love to do, it’s shifting a release date by a couple days or even a month, only a week before launch. I’ve seen more than one try to pull that over on me in March so far. They probably don’t love it, really, but they sure do it a…
Back in the primordial mists of 2007, when BioShock was the apex predator and open world games were only just evolving, a group of modders revealed plans to create their own successor to EA’s ambitious but underwhelming first-person shooter Command & Conquer: Renegade. Conceived in response to Renegade 2‘s cancellation, Renegade X aimed to do…
Warhammer’s plague god, Nurgle, has proved surprisingly popular with videogame developers, with top-villain billing in games like Vermintide 2, Darktide, and Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. He was also featured in Boltgun, with his grotesque nurgling servants mooning us and proving annoyingly hard to hit. They’ll be returning in Boltgun 2, along with the previously revealed servants…
Resident Evil Requiem encourages you to play Grace’s sections in first-person and Leon’s over the shoulder, which helps emphasize the scariness of the former and the badassness of the chainsaw-parrying latter. I played through the whole opening with my mouse in molasses though, because I thought there wasn’t a way to change the sensitivity. It’s…
Resident Evil Requiem claims to take us back to Raccoon City, but how well do you really remember it? Because Capcom would have you believe that Lady Dimitrescu never rode into town on a motorcycle on that fateful day, shotgun in hand. But we know better. Or at least we have BioRand to enhance our…
Here we go again: World of Warcraft has yet another frog problem. This time, players have found a spot in the new Midnight expansion where the frogs won’t stop spawning. Unlike the previous frog exploit in Mists of Pandaria: Remix, these amphibians don’t drop any valuable loot. They do, however, have hides worth skinning at…
Doom: The Dark Ages is big. But can it get bigger? Game director Hugo Martin seems to think so, as he mentioned in the Slayers Club Live stream that went up on YouTube yesterday. While playing through the base game, Martin took a beat to say “I’m not gonna lie, the DLC is nothing like…
