In a different, arguably better world, System Shock would be among the most recognizable game franchises out there. Rather than financing spiritual successors like BioShock and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, perhaps publishers 2K Games and Square Enix would have fought for operational control of SHODAN. But that’s not the world we live in, and we …

High on Life is a fucking riot. I’m not going to apologize for swearing so emphatically right out of the gate. Doing so would feel disingenuous when discussing a game that features a hyperactive knife accusing a talking gun of racism. It’s an admittedly absurd conversation, unfurling at 110mph as …

To celebrate the announcement of Destiny 2 Lightfall, Bungie gave players free access to all current campaigns for one week. That meant that technically anyone could jump in and play through Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and the Witch Queen, but in actuality, it’s highly unlikely that many were able to get …

Tchia understands that the destination isn’t important – it’s how you get to where you want to go that truly matters.

New York Rat Simulator is still in Early Access, so you’d be forgiven if you booted up the game, played for a few minutes, and wondered aloud “is this it?” There’s not much to do except run around the equivalent of one square city mile and collect floating slices of …

Given the annual sales of Madden and FIFA, it’s rare that EA’s ice hockey series is afforded the opportunity to break new ground. Massive news, then, from our behind-the-scenes glimpse at NHL 23. Ultimate Team is the biggest mode in all of gaming, and this year’s puck-smacking version will be …

The Dark Pictures season finale, The Devil in Me, looks set to bring one of the most ambitious setups yet across all four games. The broad pitch is 19th century serial killer H.H. Holmes meets Saw, whereas the previous games have always been based on something ‘real’ – first came …

Hyenas marks Creative Assembly’s first non-strategy-focused venture since Alien: Isolation in 2014. Much has changed in the landscape of gun-toting video games since then, not least the runaway success of the battle royale genre, but Hyenas is its own thing.

Earlier this year, we learned that Warhammer 40k: Darktide offers Left 4 Dead-style storytelling with over 75,000 lines of dialogue already written.
