One thing about getting COVID-19 that people don’t often talk about (for understandable reasons, there’s a lot more newsworthy stuff about it happening at any given moment) is how it affects your mind. For about ten days, I’ve been listless; lacking in any kind of energy and totally without the ability to focus or care

If you have come to know anything about my gaming tastes whatsoever over the past decade or so, you probably know that I’m a huge fan of the No More Heroes franchise. The series, which stars the charismatic Travis Touchdown, first debuted on the Wii in North America back in 2008 and was one of the
Don’t let the title confuse you; Bright Memory isn’t the game we saw at Microsoft’s first showcase for Xbox Series X games. Sure, it’s the same franchise and developer, yes, the gameplay looks comparable, and the names are absolutely confusing, but there wasn’t a single moment of gameplay in Bright Memory‘s stunted hour-ish runtime that came remotely
It was almost inevitable that Pikmin 3 was going to one day make its way to the Switch. Nintendo has made it blatantly apparent that it doesn’t mind porting over an overwhelming amount of Wii U titles to the console so that they can pad out the Switch’s library. Not only is Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Here’s the deal, dear reader; I can save you some time with this Spelunky 2 review. Sure, below you’ll find what is undoubtedly insightful and hilarious commentary on why this game is so great. However, I understand we live in a busy world. Maybe you just don’t have time for my shenanigans. So, there’s really
Video games are often far too defined by their ability to tell stories like a movie or TV show would. Games like Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part II are wonderful games in their own right, but they perpetuate the idea that cinematic storytelling is the end-all and be-all of interactive storytelling.
As much as I love so many things about Star Wars–its universe, characters, and story–one of the most memorable elements of the series to me has always been its space battles and ships. Take it from someone that spent countless time building a Y-Wing (my personal favorite ship) out of LEGO and playing with X-Wing and
Watch Dogs Legion is a game that offers near-infinite possibilities. Players can utilize advanced technology that lets you hack into nearly any terminal, phone, surveillance and security system, computer, AI system, vehicle, or other tech devices that you may find. You also have an entire city full of people who can be recruited and made
Where to start with FIFA 21? Last year I gave the game a 7.5 and then a few months later wanted to drop that grade by three or four points. This was largely because of various title updates EA made to the game really screwed up the gameplay and changes to Ultimate Team in the
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remains one of the high watermarks for the long-running series. It was Criterion Games’ first game since releasing the wildly successful Burnout Paradise and the studio’s first go at the Need for Speed property. Hot Pursuit built on that successful foundation while also taking the series back its roots. Well,
No matter who you wanted to be yesterday’s newest character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the one we got probably wasn’t what you were expecting. He’s been called a “meme pick” through the years, a character that everyone always joked about adding to Smash alongside Master Chief, Sora, Goku and the L-shaped block from Tetris. But now Minecraft‘s Steve, along with a
Genshin Impact by miHoYo is finally available worldwide on PC, PS4, iOS, and Android. A Switch version is also in development. Set in the fantasy world of Teyvat, Genshin Impact mixes an action battle system using elemental affinities, with open world RPG and gacha mechanics. Many eagerly awaited the release date of Genshin, seeing only
It’s a rare day at DualShockers when a large portion of our staff is able to get together and play a game together, but with the rise in popularity of Among Us over the past month, we knew we needed to set some time aside and give the asymmetrical multiplayer title a shot for ourselves. In
Minecraft Steve is officially heading to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. What was once only thought to be a possibility in memes has now become a reality. Fortunately, we were able to capture our own reaction to the news on camera and can now share it with you. Our own video manager Mario Rivera was joined by
Warsaw begins with a simple cutscene; choppy, and no voice work. The sounds of endless gunfire, cries, and yells, and interrupted with the occasional bombing is the music. Yet this one scene portrays combat in a warzone with a horrific profoundness that escapes many modern video games. After that, you’re prompted to calibrate your screen,
Bartlow’s Dread Machine is an inventive take on classic bullet hell gameplay. The game takes on the look of an old-school parlor game; however, it’s not just the look that Bartlow’s seeks to emulate. Even your gameplay faces the same restrictions that an actual parlor game would. You’re controlling a physical piece on a track,
As the next-generation consoles near this fall, one of the biggest questions that has been on the hearts and minds of prospective console-owners has been the type of first-party experiences that we’ll expect to see on both platforms. Last week we looked at Microsoft’s first-party plans for Xbox, with the company aggressively pursuing new studios
It is no secret that the WWE 2K franchise is in a bit of a rut. I’ve played every WWE game since 2K took over, and for the most part, I’ve enjoyed my time. Obviously, they aren’t perfect, but I have always dug its character creation suite and presentation. That is, until WWE 2K20 —
Super Mario 3D All-Stars was one of this year’s worst kept secrets. Rumours were flying around as early as March that a collection of 3D Mario games would be hitting the Nintendo Switch at some point in 2020. Fast-forward to early September and the collection was finally announced with Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy
Crusader Kings III is that rare sort of game that immediately takes your breath away. The goal is a simple one: to elevate the status of your dynasty in any way you see fit. But the sheer breadth of ways to achieve that goal make for a genuinely new experience each time, even within the
Over a year ago when it finally had its big reveal, Marvel’s Avengers didn’t exactly make the best first impression. The long-in-development superhero title was revealed not too long after Avengers: Endgame came into theaters and capped off a series of films that were over a decade in the making. This of course put Square Enix
Of all the video games released each year, not many of them delve into Indian mythology and society. During the most recent Indie World Showcase from Nintendo, one of the standout titles from the presentation was Raji: An Ancient Epic, developed by Nodding Heads and published by Super.com. It was first announced in 2017 with
With Marvel’s Avengers officially launching today on PS4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC, everyone will get the opportunity to jump into the shoes of their favorite Avenger from the game’s launch roster. While more Heroes will be added to the game down the line such as Hawkeye and Kate Bishop, to start you’ll have
Fall Guys is one of the first competitive multiplayer titles I plan on keeping up with in quite some time. I’m still experiencing technical issues relatively often, but it is a unique take on the battle royale genre that is easy to hop into and play with friends. There is a solid variety in games
Your average Fall Guys player is probably younger, attracted to the game by its fast pace and bright colors. They’re fresh, unspoiled souls, free from the crushing weight of societal pressures, capitalism, and knowledge of the U.S government. They’re bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. And I can’t stand it. I have to do something about it. I have a
The first time Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions was shown I was immediately hooked. The bombastic trailer made the game look like the arcade-style football game the world truly needs. Unfortunately, Tsubasa isn’t quite that game, but that doesn’t make it any less great. Sure, getting something in the vein of Sega Soccer Slam
As a big fan of racing games, I barely let the titles of this genre slip through my fingers. The first time I played the original Project CARS, I remember that I was struggling to finish my first race without being disqualified. It took me several hours to eventually reach the finish line at a
While the next-gen consoles are likely on everyone’s minds for the next few months, 2020 still has a few more big releases coming up before the end of the year. Namely, Marvel’s Avengers is one of the biggest to arrive this month, with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes banding together in the new title from Square Enix and
Control’s AWE expansion is pretty much what you could want from an Alan Wake-themed expansion for Control. You have new content for Control, new missions, a new sector to explore with secret areas, a new ability and enemy, and most importantly, new fictional tidbits to find and read/listen to. Then you also have new fiction
This late in the current console generation, I think we all pretty much know what NBA 2K is: an annual product that holds a deep admiration for the game of basketball, but one that really wants you to pay a premium for it and then some more every 12 months. NBA 2K21, due out September
