You can play as a commanding officer from one of three factions; Humans, Machines o...
The first reveal of the Saints Row reboot could have gone better, to put it mildly. A lot of crime game/action adventure/ open world game fans cried out for blood over how "woke" Saints Row has become. To be fair, there wasn't much gameplay to gleam from previous trailers, but that didn't stop people from talking smack about it. That will probab...
Don't call it a full-fledged sequel to the 2016 hit multiplayer shooter just yet: Overwatch 2 right now feels like a transitional game than anything, as far as its beta form is concerned. With that in mind, I had a blast playing through hours of online matches. Keep in mind that this is just the second half of a promised sequel, since the beta only...
Grammarian Ltd is a game that could humble most people who thought they had a perfect grasp on grammar. Although its premise is really bizarre and specific, seriously niche doesn’t even cut it for this game, it does a pretty respectable job at educating despite the boring gameplay loop. Grammarian Ltd is set in a fictional world where the gram...
Since its Kickstarter years ago, the throwback RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has been generating quite a buzz among retro RPG fans from the 90s since it's basically the revival of the Suikoden franchise, in all but name & licensing. Of course, to start the journey proper, one needs an introductory game of sorts using bits and pieces ...

Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D roguelike firefighting platformer We're lacking quite a few firefighting games in 2021, so it's good that Thunderful Publishing and developer Dejima are on it with this unique 2D action title. Part platformer, and part roguelite with random levels and a progression system, Firegir...
Open-world zombie games were a thing of the past: see the Dead Rising series. But Techland is bringing it back with Dying Light 2, which adds parkour and paragliding into the mix. Oh, and also a day/night cycle, stamina bar-based climbing puzzles, and moral choices that affect the game's story. Here's a video we did featuring some lovely gamepla...
Darkest Dungeon 2 has the makings of a great GOTY nominee for next year (or the next depending on its development schedule). While in Early Access form, the base computer role-playing game of getting your group to the top of the mountain while fending off insurmountable odds in forms of lush-looking and meaty turn-based combat seem pitch-perfect. I...
In the future, robots will take over the world, and humanity is given the not-so-happy task of killing every single one of them. And in a roguelike fashion. In this wacky future of Synthetik 2, you play as a soldier fighting his/her way to the top to stop the Heart of Armageddon that's protected by an armada of robots and soldier bots ready to t...
Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5, PC Genre: Open world action-adventure times a hundred The last we heard of Volition's Saints Row series, it ended with a huge bang with part IV and its Gatt Out Of Hell expansion, which basically pushed the envelope in terms of action-adventure open-world sandbox craziness. Part Crackdown, part GTA, a...
Platforms: PC, Xbox, PS4 Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Isometric Action RPG Pukefest As if you cannot tell from locations called Festering Gorge, Woundland, and the Puke Bar, Death Trash thrives on its fleshy and gorey broken future-filled visuals. If it wasn't for the pixel art, many would be grossed out by the sheer volume of raw meat and upchuck a...
Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5 Genre: Beta of a remastered action RPG with old-school grinding There is no question that Diablo 2 is an action RPG masterpiece, both the base game and the Lord of Destruction expansion pack. So when Blizzard announced a remaster slated for this September, many fans are stoked to return to the days ...

Platforms: Android, iOS Genre: Open-World Action RPG There is perhaps no better time for a game like Marvel Future Revolution to release than now. This is especially so with Marvel's concept of the Multiverse and alternate versions of the same characters being all the rage (despite it already being a mainstay in comics for decades). The stor...
Platform: PC Genre: 2D action-adventure with anime art Who doesn't love a good 2D hack-and-slash platformer, especially one with nice animation and graphics that feel like they're out of a Production IG animation cel? Lost Epic, a 2D action game with RPG elements from developer oneoreight and Team Earthwars, seems to take a page from gorgeous t...
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch Genre: Turn-Based Tactical Strategy, RPG, Strategy The original King's Bounty was released way back in 1990. Yes, there have been several spinoffs and spiritual reboots like the Heroes Of Might And Magic franchise and 2008's King's Bounty The Legend. However, developer 1C Enter...
Platform: PC Genre: Isometric 70s sci-fi RPG I would say that I miss isometric CRPGs, but the Wasteland trilogy of games and the Pillars of Eternity entries in the past few years sort out those jollies. So what period and timeline haven't we covered yet with such PC role-playing titles that rely on numbers, as well as a mix of combat and brains...
Skateboarding games, while fun, have two main issues: one - it can be tough for newbies from the get-go. Two: the places you skate in seem pretty barren. Enter OlliOlli World, a super-bright and cheery (albeit weird) game where you pull off skateboarding tricks for points on a 2D plane. Simple gameplay and controls, but its course design and cha...
