As someone who absolutely adored DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, I went into DOOM: The Dark Ages with sky-high expectations. Those last two entries redefined what a first-person shooter could feel like—fast, frantic, brutally fluid. They threw you into the chaos with speed, power, and an arsenal that turned the battlefield into a ballet of bullets and blood. Plowing through hordes of demons was pure … Read More

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the kind of game that reminds you why you fell in love with RPGs in the first place. It’s bold, imaginative, and refreshingly unconcerned with following the trends that dominate most big-budget titles today. Developed by the relatively unknown Sandfall Interactive—a team of approximately 30 people—this debut effort feels anything but small. From the moment … Read More

When Days Gone first launched back in 2019, it received a mixed reception, with many players wanting to love it more than they actually did. The promise was there—a gritty open-world survival game with emotional storytelling, dynamic weather, a unique motorcycle-centric traversal system, and massive, terrifying hordes of zombie-like Freakers. But the bugs, inconsistent AI, rough performance and pacing issues in the … Read More

It finally happened. After years of whispers, supposed leaks, and forum speculation, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is real—and it’s available now on PS5, Xbox and PC. Bethesda Game Studios, in collaboration with Virtuos, have brought this classic RPG back to life with a fresh coat of modern polish. For someone like me, who played the original religiously back in 2006, … Read More

When it comes to support for independent game developers, the team at Xbox have been very visibly supportive for many years over the past few gaming generations. And that continues to be the case. We’ve seen some incredible titles in recent years that have released as part of the ID@Xbox program. I recently got to sit in on a Xbox … Read More

It still feels a bit surreal saying this, but Xbox first-party titles are continuing to make their way to other platforms—and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle landing on PlayStation 5 is a big deal. This isn’t just any port; it’s a sign of the walls coming down a bit, making one of the best recent action-adventure games available to a much … Read More

Back in 2015, I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. Like a lot of JRPG fans at the time, I was drawn to its massive open world, deep systems, and ambitious scale. I had a blast with it, but to be honest, I never finished it. Life got in the way, and Xenoblade X was the kind of game you really … Read More

Ever since its reveal in 2023, South of Midnight had my attention. Its painterly, stop-motion-inspired art style immediately stood out, reminding me of Arcane with a touch of Coraline’s eerie charm. More importantly, it promised a character-driven action-adventure—something that’s been a rarity on Xbox compared to Sony’s first-party catalog in recent years. Developed by Compulsion Games (We Happy Few, Contrast), South of Midnight delivers a rich, folklore-infused … Read More

Ever since it was teased to be coming back in January, I’ve been counting the days and looking forward to Nintendo giving us a big new look at the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Overnight, Nintendo gave us a more detailed look at the console and its technical capabilities, and a slew of games that will be coming to console. But … Read More

I’ve been a big Bleach fan since the anime hit it’s peak popularity in the mid 2000s. Back in the anime’s heyday, I spent countless hours battling it out in the Bleach DS games, and for years, I kept hoping we’d see the series return to the world of video games. Now, after over a decade, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls has arrived … Read More
