Sekiro 2 Has A Huge Opportunity To Address One Key Criticism

From Software’s latest release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, launched to critical acclaim as the next installment in the developer’s list of brutally difficult action-adventure titles. However, while the game was well received among many fans and critics, leading up to Sekiro’s Game of the Year win via several venues, some players found that one key criticism held it back from being the developer’s best title. While the combat in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice wildly succeeds at what it is attempting to accomplish, there is a severe lack of customization that would otherwise allow players to tackle different encounters in different ways....

Skully Review

There was a time when 3D platformers were released on a regular basis, as every game publisher tried to deliver its own Super Mario 64. Fast forward to 2020 and open world games are all the rage, leaving 3D platformer fans with very few new game releases in any given year. Skully is one of the few 3D platformers for 2020, but unfortunately, fans of the genre will likely want to skip it....

Skyrim S Dark Brotherhood Questline Has Nothing On Oblivion

Skyrim gets some things right with its Dark Brotherhood questline. It honors the structure of the organization and amplifies the invisible selfishness buried deep within each of its members. Best of all, it captures the concept of the Dark Brotherhood’s slow and steady decline into obscurity perfectly, particularly in its decision to send you back to a derelict, last-resort sanctuary after your own one is destroyed. All of the above being said, Skyrim still seriously dropped the ball with the Dark Brotherhood....

Spider Man Miles Morales Is Not What Ps5 Fans Might Think Update

Update 6/12: It has since been clarified by Insomniac that Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a “standalone game.” Original story follows. One of the most surprising announcements from PlayStation’s Future of Gaming event was the reveal of a successor to 2018’s Spider-Man for PlayStation 4, only two years after the game’s release and as a probable launch title for Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 console. The big differentiation between PlayStation 4’s and PlayStation 5’s Spider-Man titles is that this time Insomniac Games is shifting focus away from Peter Parker to focus on another iteration of the web-slinging comic book icon, Miles Morales....

Resident Evil 4 Finally Costs As Much As It Should In 2020 For A Limited Time

Finally, Resident Evil 4 is down to a price that one might expect it to be sold for more than 15 years after its release. Of course, because we can’t have too much of a good thing, it’s only this way for a limited period of time and only for the Nintendo Switch. The Resident Evil franchise has seen its second and third installments remade recently. The fourth game in the series has been a fan favorite since its release in 2005 - considered in many ways to be one of the best Resident Evil games ever made - and now it’s rumored to be getting its very own official remake by Capcom, too....
