As we move towards the conclusion of Hitman‘s first season — there are at least two more on the way, according to recent news from IO Interactive — one thing’s crystal clear: in his entire career, Agent 47 hasn’t been afraid to take any job, no matter the circumstances. Along the series, these have included…
Batman’s seasonal adventure continues with episode two, titled Children of Arkham, a much more tightly directed and faster paced entry than the premiere. It’s also one of the shortest segments Telltale has ever put out. Regardless, it manages to pack a generous portion of character development and drama in its short run, shaking the very foundations…
There’s no shaking the feeling that Song of the Deep — although a gorgeous game in its own right, with an unique delivery to an old Irish folk tale — reaches too far and doesn’t manage to grasp the greatness of the games it borrows so much from. As with many games nowadays, Insomniac’s Song…
Brasil Game Show 2016 was full steam ahead last week as I stopped by and checked out Resident Evil 7‘s newest demo, simply titled “Lantern“, right next to the same awesome spooky house setup Capcom had put together for E3. That demo, first shown at Gamescom, was only available to the press behind closed at BGS. And while…
Ever since checking out Headlander at E3, I’ve been on the lookout for its official release. At the show, Double Fine’s quirky take on the Metroid formula proved to be a fun concept in demo form. After finishing the full game, it’s safe to say that even with its share of problems, Headlander isn’t merely a clone…
If it weren’t for a host of bugs and technical hurdles, Telltale’s newest series based on iconic DC Comics hero Batman would be unequivocally recommendable. Unfortunately, severe port issues keep back an otherwise cool take of the Caped Crusader. When the word got out that Telltale would be working on Batman next, it seemed like a…
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was already a fantastic game last year, and if you needed any more reasons to jump back to it in 2016, look no further than Blood and Wine, its last piece of downloadable content. Just like Heart of Stone, Blood and Wine is a contained story that takes place in the…
To say that Abzu from Giant Squid has much in common with Thatgamecompany’s Journey would be an understatement. Abzu feels like an extension of the groundwork laid by Journey, using much of the same storytelling techniques and even some of the same themes in such a way that make Abzu feel like a spiritual successor….
Furi embodies both the best and worst qualities of boss fights. At its best, Furi is stylish and exciting; a series of challenging but fair fights that act as a fantastic example of good boss design. At its worst, it’s a frustrating slog that equates difficulty with sheer overwhelming odds; a game that punishes you…
It’s my yearly tradition to make sure I stop by Natsume’s booth at E3, and 2016 was no different. Their lineup included a few returning favorites, as well as a title I haven’t had the opportunity to play during its original run on the classic consoles. There’s something for everyone coming out, simply put. My…
