One look at Gears Tactics, the upcoming turn-based strategy game based on the Gears franchise, and the first thing that pops into your hardcore gaming mind is "XCOM". And maybe XCOM 2. I mean, just look... That statement isn't a knock at the upcoming Gears game from publisher Microsoft and developer Splash Damage at all. In fact, Gears Tactics ...
The 3rd of March is supposed to be the release date of the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Due to some extra polishing, the long-awaited title will take an extra month. Which is fine for fans, since they are used to waiting for Final Fantasy titles to drop. But a total refurbishing of a classic 1997 JRPG that made the genre incredibly mainstream? Based ...
For all of Blizzard's current faults with its PR mismanagement as of late, you cannot deny the fact that their past hits are polished as all-heck. Even with Diablo 3's rocky start online, the game itself was laid out well and eventually received a ton of improvements a year later, and it's still going strong. Even if their game is considered done,...
This short guide to Fire Emblem's latest expansion is still in development... Fire Emblem: Three Houses' latest DLC, Cindered Shadow, is now out in the wilds and available on the Nintendo Eshop. But what is it, really? Is it a side story? Is it part of the main campaign? Well, the answer's pretty easy: it's a side story you can play right off the...
If there's one thing I've learnt from playing Overcooked and its sequel, its that I am just not capable of working under pressure. Just when I thought I've had enough of culinary-themed games that test my patience, I find another and it just pulls me back in. Bake N' Switch is the latest title from Malaysian developer Streamline Studios. Prior t...
One of the great things about attending an event like Level Up KL 2019 is that I get to see a lot of interesting ideas and concepts in new games being made by developers in the Southeast Asia region. One of the more cuter ones I got to check out was Sushi Wildlands. Currently being developed by Singapore-based Mezmedia Studios, Sushi Wildlands p...
After many leaks and speculation, Overwatch 2 is finally announced to the joy of many. The sequel is basically the long-sought-after PvE content that many fans of the Blizzard shooter franchise have been clamouring for since 2016. After all, the game's many cinematics and Pixar-esque quality trailers did hint at a much broader storyline. This news...
Dank corridors with the virtual smell of death surrounding barbarians, sorceresses, and shapeshifting druids. Crimson rivers spiralling within randomly-generated dungeons and pitfalls. Innocents sacrificed for a greater evil that started the Diablo mythos. Large bosses falling apart in R-rated violent chunks. That's the Diablo IV experience in Bli...
Everyone knows how Saitama, the hero of One Punch Man, can KO even the biggest threat on Earth in what seems to be a subversion of the shonen anime trope. But how does one pull that off in a game without making it boring for players. Simple: just make sure his lackadaisical attitude puts his assigned team at a disadvantage, as evident in Bandai Na...
When you hear "shrinking ring" and "random gear and loot on map in buildings", you think PUBG or any other battle royale game in the market. And that's what Ubisoft is doing with the multiplayer mode for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, titled Ghost War. Yet somehow a few playthroughs of the game's new PvP mode prove that it's a possible cu...
Starting off at level 11, we thought our hour-plus experience in Obsidian's latest RPG The Outer Worlds would be way too much to cram into that short preview experience. And in some ways, that is true. The Outer Worlds require time to explore. Exploring the reaches of Monarch felt limited due to time constraints, but at least it gives many of us...
Nintendo strategy fans have one more week until they can get their hands on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Based on the most recent build of the game, the game is shaping up to be living up to its traditional turn-based combat mixed in with a huge number of elements from Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, at least when it comes to interacting w...
I'm not sure why Pagan Online, the latest action RPG from Wargaming and Mad Head Games, got a ninja Early Access release recently in Southeast Asia. Why wouldn't the publishers behind the successful World of Tanks games toot its own horn about breaking into a different genre of games? Perhaps it's due to the recent feedback the team got regarding ...
Our resident RPG guru Mr Toffee was disappointed with The Secret of Mana remake last year. It felt very cheaply-made, the added dialogue and story bits did not help elevate the source material, and it somehow made the 1992 original game superior. Based on what we've seen at E3 2019's Treehouse live stream, Square Enix is making amends with the tru...
That Cyberpunk 2077 reveal at Xbox's E3 press conference was fine and all, but it wasn't enough to placate our minds, bodies, and souls. The E3 2019 show floor gave the media access to about 50 minutes' worth of Cyberpunk 2077 hands-off gameplay. Here are ten things we know about the upcoming RPG so far: 1. Keanu Reeves' Character Plays A Big Part...
BJ Blazkowicz may have been the highlight brooding tough guy in Machine Head's take on Wolfenstein, which balances gun-heavy combat and akimbo shotguns alongside good storytelling, but the formula needs to change. Enter his twin daughters, Jess and Soph, who are given the task to find their dad after we went missing during a Paris covert sting. Tha...
To say that Bandai Namco's upcoming RPG Code Vein is a Dark Souls knockoff but anime and sci-fi is disingenuous, but not entirely inaccurate. The controls, the motions, the level design filled with possible one-hit pitfalls and traps. Even down to the core one-on-one duelling focus against enemies, it's emulating the From Software series tooth a...
Dauntless is a free PC game on Steam that fills in a niche that was sorely needed: an action RPG-like game focused on hunting big game that can trash you in a few hits. Unfortunately, that field may have been dominated early by the PC version of Capcom's Monster Hunter entry. But I digress; there's still some room for something like Dauntless, and...
After checking out that sweet Borderlands 3 gameplay during the Gearbox Software event, it's safe to say that loot-and-shoot fans will have a heckaton of fun with the game when it's out 13 September. So what's new and what's welcome? What can we expect from this co-op shooter? A lot, actually. Let's break it down. You're dealing with an all-new th...
