PC Previews

  This is the first of a few articles about my time at EGX 2019 and the games that really stuck out to me. EGX has everything from brand new unreleased titles, popular games, merchandise,...

The thing about games with “emergent gameplay” is that, for some people, that gameplay never emerges. Noita, with its procedural generation, crafted spells/weapons, and roguelite design, leans hard into that “emergent” concept. It counts on you...

There are so many ways players can train in shooting games. Some people can recommend playing games like Aim Hero, some other players can recommend you to just play shooting games and hone your skills...

After a long period of unjustified absence, the series is back on the latest generation platforms in style, thanks to the production of Bethesda Softworks and the talent of MachineGames. Wolfenstein: Youngblood also boasts the...

Early Access games can sometimes be like Kickstarter-funded games. As a consumer, you are gambling on whether or not the game you invest in is going to provide the entertainment value that the developers intend...

So I had the change to start playing the Age of Empires: Definitive Edition closed beta and I must say, I remember why I liked the game so much. The closed beta is Multiplayer only...

My Time At Portia is a promise made to PC and Switch gamers that I can’t help but buy in to. Akin to Stardew Valley and other games of the ilk, the graphics lend a...

Brawlout is releasing on the Nintendo Switch and PC later this year, but an Early Access version is available on Steam. Does this game bring those itches of wanting a platform fighter onto these two...

I think there is something wonderfully circular about dungeon crawlers with a shop management mechanic. You first do the typical monster slaying action, combining weapon with wandering beasties to make loot. However, the act of...

Before Aven Colony, I can't say that I had ever played a city builder game in which poison balls spewed from the mouths of aliens could destroy my city structures. But sure enough, the pesky...

I consider myself a pretty big fan of horror games. Resident Evil and Dead Space are two series very near and dear to my heart but I've of course been burned over the years as Dead Space 3...

You’ve crash landed on an unfamiliar planet. Your cramped escape pod assures your safety and provides limited shelter from the environment, but it’s up to you to collect the resources needed to rebuild your ship...

I confess, one nice thing about previews is the freedom to present a glimpse of a game however it seems most befitting. As I crawled into Hellion, previewing the sci-fi survival title by Zero Gravity...

Usually, I'm the guy who takes things too seriously. No, it does not mean I crawl around on forums correcting inaccuracies across the land, or even that I'll scream how unrealistic films/games are bad. It...

You can choose to watch a 50 minute video of me playing it if you want to see the game in action. Although the sound is a bit quiet. On the other hand, below lies...

Every so often, I stumble upon the type of game that would never sell in an elevator pitch. The classic being Papers, Please. Hell, imagine EA or Activision green-lighting Spec Ops: The Line, Verdun or...

Let me take you behind the curtain to the man that lies beyond. Sometimes we want to high-five a game, give it some delicious thick journalism, but we simply don't know how to present it....

Asymmetry. It's in your drugs, it's in your art and now it has invaded your multiplayer. Although, to be fair to the poor little thing who can't get a break in architecture, it invades because...

While this is a written preview, you can also watch a whopping 50 minute preview of character creator, RPG and combat here. A couple of months back, you may recall I interviewed Logic Artists about...

Early access survival games are all the rage these days. Some are obviously doomed from the start, while others have great concepts that will quickly attract a solid player-base. The issue here is that most...

Developer - The Deep End Games Publisher - The Deep End Games Location - Boston, Massachusetts What is it? If you could combine Gone Home's storytelling with Firewatch's paranoia and a healthy helping of Outlast's...
