This is one of the busiest and most reliable studios around, they’ve already shipped Avowed and Grounded 2 this year alone, and if any team knows how to make a witty, choice-driven RPG set among the stars, it’s them. I had a great time with the first … Read More

What Sucker Punch delivered instead is something smarter, a successor that builds upon Tsushima’s core systems and design philosophy but stands completely … Read More

It wasn’t perfect, but it captured the style and flair of the series well enough to keep me playing. Now we’ve got The Hinokami Chronicles 2, a direct sequel … 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
