Critical opinions about the world of games.
The things that make Dead Cells great are numerous. The fast, fluid movement. The weighty, satisfying combat. The fact that its developer, Motion Twin, is a worker co-op where everyone has equal pay and say over the company. But above all, it's how excellent the game feels to play that brings it all together. "Game… Continue reading Dead Cells is great because it feels great
To Traveller’s Tales’ senior producer Matthew Ellison, the most important aspect to the LEGO games is their accessibility and how creatively they make use of their licenses. I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with him for a few minutes at Brazil Game Show last week, where Warner Bros was showing off the… Continue reading BGS 2018: A chat with Traveller’s Tales’ Super-Villain, er… Senior Producer Matthew Ellison
When the original PlayStation hit, I was all about the Nintendo 64, so unlike a lot of folks who grew up in the 1990s, my fondest platforming memories lie with the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, namely the Super Mario games. Still, I would be lying if I told you I never dabbled with those… Continue reading BGS 2018: If you loved these games in the past, Spyro Reignited Trilogy will burn bright with nostalgia
After finishing Overcooked 2 proper, I didn't think it could get any more ridiculous. In retrospect, I should have known better, as the Surf 'n' Turf DLC that came out last week effortlessly demonstrates Overcooked 2 still has plenty of ideas left in store. Surf 'n' Turf adds 12 new levels and three new chefs… Continue reading Overcooked 2 heads to the beach with its Surf ‘n’ Turf DLC
If you thought From Software was done with the Dark Souls formula, think again. Now under the Activision banner, director Hidetaka Miyazaki is at it again, this time taking us for a ride in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. And from the 40 minutes or so I spent playing the game at Brazil Game Show, all… Continue reading BGS 2018: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice snuck its way into and stabbed my heart
Kingdom Come: Deliverance seems to have become one of my traditional stops whenever I’m in a trade show nowadays. I’ve seen it way before it was out at E3, a second time when it was just about ready to be released, and now, for a third, in my hometown of São Paulo during Brazil Game… Continue reading BGS 2018: Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s Amorous Adventure DLC brings comedy to Bohemia
I have to make an admission: I quit trying to get into Kingdom Hearts early. I gave my best trying to play the original games on PlayStation 2, but after some horrendous platforming, I gave up. The series lore is one of the most hyped things about it, but for that very reason, I was… Continue reading BGS 2018: Toy Story convinced me to give Kingdom Hearts III a try — I had a blast
Resident Evil’s lore has gotten to the point of sheer absurdity after so many years and even more in games, so it feels good to think back when things were simpler and still not completely convoluted. Days when we only knew that Wesker has a normal dude who happened to be a bad guy, and… Continue reading BGS 2018: Claire meets William Birkin eye to arm-eye in the newest Resident Evil 2 demo
Capcom in conjunction with Warner Bros, the distributor of their games in Brazil, brought Devil May Cry V over to Brazil Game Show, which started yesterday in São Paulo. I was able to play the game for about 20 minutes, and after not caring much about it at all since its announcement at this year’s… Continue reading BGS 2018: Devil May Cry V’s Nero rocket punches some serious ass
It might sound ridiculous to you, but it was only until this fourth entry in Valkyria Chronicles that the very first one finally got a true sequel. Up until now, ever since 2008’s Valkyria Chronicles for the PlayStation 3, the series has seemingly done its best to distance itself from what made that game so… Continue reading Valkyria Chronicles 4 does the impossible and makes war beautiful
