Zephyr, an ex-Advent and ex-Skirmisher hybrid who eschews guns for her fists, is a badass. When she first joins my XCOM: Chimera Squad team, all she has is a mean punch that takes out squishy grunts in one hit, while tougher enemies lose a nice chunk of their health and receive a negative status effect. 12 hours in, sh

Humble Bundle is having a 2K Games sale right now, and there's some sweet stuff even within the $1 tier alone. For just $1 (RM4.33), you can get your hands on The Darkness 2, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Carnival Games VR, and Spec Ops: The Line. I can't speak for Carnival Games VR, but The Darkness 2 is a cathartic and bloo

Update: More rumours have emerged. An earlier rumour said that Resident Evil 8 would feature a section set in a village. Now, it's being said that its very title has "village" in it.

The Nintendo Direct Indie World 2020 showcase has wrapped up, and while some of the trailers were vague in terms of gameplay, there's still quite a bit to like here. Out of all the highlighted games, these were my top five: Summer Mara A "farming adventure" game where you get to decorate your island with buildings and

When's the last time you've seen a film that pays proper respect to Gary Gygax's Dungeons & Dragons and LARPing? I'm waiting. While Pixar's latest 3D animation offering Onward doesn't outright focus on D&D, but it does pay homage to its numerous established fantasy tropes from tabletop fantasy games to collect

That's where the visual novel genre co

There's a certain charm to games like VA-11 Hall-A where all you do is make drinks and talk to people.

Hello, I’m Amirul "meckronos" Ashraf, resident writer over at gamermatters.com. So I may know a thing or two about video games.  2019 was quite a strong year for games as we are entering the twilight of the current console generation. With so many good games coming out, most of the time I just can’t k

Netflix's The Witcher has finally arrived, and it's definitely worth the wait (check out my full review here). Filling the void of fantasy TV left behind by Game Of Thrones, The Witcher has many books' worth of lore and stories to derive from. The first season of The Witcher is only eight episodes long, which means th
