I don’t know why I’m surprised, really. They’re huge metal dinosaurs. They’re dangerous. All the same, I wasn’t expecting to die quite this much in Horizon Zero Dawn I’m around a dozen hours into Guerrilla Games’ post-apocalyptic dino hunting game and I keep on getting my ass kicked. I had been expecting the initial difficulty…
Ghost Recon Wildlands seems innocuous at first glance. It is a passable open world shooter where cooperative play leads to exciting gunfights and silly stunts. But Wildland’s core is far more insipid. It is propaganda. It is jingoism made playable, perpetuating the failed logic that all it takes to solve the world’s woes is enough…

No Man’s Sky is a very large game. For months now, a dedicated group of players has been working diligently to map an entire sector of space to carve out a home for wayward explorers.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was a game about guerrilla warfare… and also falling in love with orcs. By contrast, this summer’s sequel, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is a game about full-scale warfare… and also falling in love with orcs. Shadow of War is a painfully generic subtitle, but there is a ring of truth to it.…
The new PS4 game Horizon Zero Dawndoes a lot of big stuff well. Literal big stuff, like robots the size of buildings. It also nails a lot of small things.Amazing leg animations, sure, but also things that more directly affect how it feels to play the game. Given that I sometimeshighlight games thatscrew up their…
I’ve played about eleven hours of Ghost Recon Wildlands, sniping enemies and trolling my hapless squadmates. It’s a pretty good time although I’m a bit worried that the fun won’t last forever. Here are some early thoughts on what works and what doesn’t. This is the love child of Mercenaries and Far Cry At first…
On Tuesday Ubisoft said its Swedish game studio Massive will lead the development of a game set in the world of James Cameron’s Avatar.

The first round of For Honor’s faction war ended yesterday with a surprising upset by the Vikings. Initially underestimated, the bearded brutes have suddenly become the game’s top faction.

For years now, the latest console generation has been coasting on the idea that more raw power means better games. The PS4’s newest exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn, is the rare game that delivers on that promise. To play Guerilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn is to feel awe. Awe over sheer technical wizardry and its ability…
For Honor is bloody and hectic. Each exchange of blows helps you learn how to fight an opponent. Underneath a mess of micro-transactions, For Honor hides the soul of a true fighting game. We take a critical look at it in this video. Transcript: When I first booted up For Honor, I was dismayed. The…
For Honor’s handling of multiplayer is causing frustrations for some players as lag rears its head, ruining fights and disrupting matches in the online melee fighting game. “It’s almost unplayable like this,” one Reddit poster said. “I’m lucky if I can play one complete game out of every three.” “Finally able to join a game,”…
I like a lot of things about Horizon: Zero Dawn, but for now let me just say holy shit, look how they animated her legs when you spin the camera while on horseback. Here’s a longer clip: I’m no animation expert, but based on how she’s moving I believe that this is an example of…
Nioh is a massive game. Reviewing it took around 60 hours. Speedrunner Distortion2 puts myself and everyone to shame with his world record run, which clocks in just over an hour and a half. Distortion2 holds the third place world record in Dark Souls 3 and has been blasting his way through Resident Evil 7,…
On first glance, Nioh does not seem remarkable. A generic looking action RPG in the vein of Dark Souls, Nioh seems more like a lost Playstation 2 curiosity than a killer AAA exclusive. Ignoring it would be a terrible mistake though. Nioh is one of the best action titles in years, packed with exciting combat…
Resident Evil 7 was a watershed moment for the series that reinvigorated the languishing franchise. Series producer Masachika Kawata told us how the team over at Capcom brought the series home again.

Resident Evil 7’s most distressing horror technique is not a well placed jump scare or dangerous boss encounter. It’s the teeth. Those terrifying, perfect teeth. Thanks to series producer Masachika Kawata, we finally know what the deal is with everyone’s stellar dental work. I had the opportunity to conduct an email interview with Kawata and will…
