I love the look of Marathon, and I like shooters in general. But extraction shooters? Not so much. I’m not very good at them, for one thing, and the constant pressure to get out with your loot before the timer hits zero is a huge drag. So when Bungie said it was looking at PvE…
Got a hankerin’ for some classic, tried-and-true turn-based JRPG goodness? The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II comes to PS4 Tuesday, picking up one month after the events of the series’ highly lauded first game. Other highlights for the week include PixARK, which tasks players with surviving its dangerous, blocky world by crafting…

Just one week after his comments on piracy and DOOM, he has once again been corrected by id Software’s co-founder, John…
CD Projekt Red had nowhere to go but up with Cyberpunk 2077’s police. At launch, the NCPD was the laughing stock of videogame law enforcement—officers would utterly fail to give chase if V hopped into a car, hilariously spawn behind perpetrators as soon as a crime was committed, and open fire for simple trespassing (hm,…
After years of delays, disappointing previews, and a beta our own Tyler Wilde described as “cheesy and unnatural”, I think it’s fair to say a bit of scepticism about the launch of Skull and Bones this Friday is sensible. Hopefully it is good, but if it does turn out to be a load of old…
