Of all the reveals that occurred last year during Microsoft’s E3 2019 presentation, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco’s latest collaboration with Elden Ring proved to be one of the most intriguing announcements in the showcase. While the latest game from the studio behind Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is surely enough to get many fans excited, Elden

Recently, we took a look at all of the video game heroes who make their living in hallowed halls of the action-adventure genre. After analyzing each of them (very scientifically, we might add) we put together an amalgamation of their body parts to build the greatest action-adventure hero. Like a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein, we built
The Ultimate Ninja Storm series of Naruto games have long been one of my favorite anime-based franchises. The series’ latest title Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 first released back in 2016. But now with the anime shifting over to Naruto’s son, Boruto, the games have had to follow. So it’s no surprise that as it’s
When you’re looking to pick up a new gaming headset, the process can sometimes be daunting. With so many different manufacturers, headsets of varying qualities, and price points, figuring out which gaming earphones are right for you can be a struggle. Luckily, we here at DualShockers might be able to help you with any upcoming
The Shattering is a new psychological thriller that isn’t afraid to explore matures tales that constantly challenge you. This is the latest game from publisher Deck13 and the first game from Super Sexy Software. However, if early impressions are anything to go by, there is little to suggest that this is a freshman effort. Give
There have been a variety of video game franchises that have stretched the series across multiple games and consoles, continuing to flesh out the story and world-building as the games go on. Whether that be The Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, or Resident Evil, these games have built a continuous structure and legacy that
A gamer will always have a special connection with a controller. Not only is it a required means that links the gamer to their favorite games, but it also reflects our personalities with a variety of colors, shapes, and even themes. While it’s natural to want something that is shiny and pretty, performance is always
For many of us, whether we’re self quarantined or essential workers, the current pandemic marks an extremely stressful period in our collective times. But fear not! Because while I may not have any permanent solutions to this horrible reality, I do have a game franchise that can at least put a smile on your face.
The name Streets of Rage is a calling card back to the early days of video games. They’re days that I wasn’t around for, but from experiences in my own arcades, I understand; people lining up at a cabinet, crowding around someone who’s made it further into the game than anyone else. More than anything,
Claiming that Sakura Wars (aka Sakura Taisen) is a huge franchise is an understatement. The steampunk, East meets West stylized series featuring courageous women who act as a theater revue by day and fight demons at night left a huge mark on Japanese pop culture and on anyone who encountered it. When Sega and Red
While last fall saw the release of Gears 5, the next mainline chapter of the series, Gears Tactics has released several months later with an entirely different take on the franchise. While traditionally Gears of War has always been about third-person shooting (and Funko Pops), Gears Tactics instead brings the series into the style of
I’m sure you’re wondering, “What the heck is a Game of the Year article doing on DualShockers? Is it already December?” Well, don’t worry, you haven’t gone crazy or entered some sort of time-altering portal just yet. In 2020, we’re doing Game of the Year a bit differently here at DualShockers, at least when it
The lineup of big releases for this spring has spread through a lot of different genres, from intense action games like Resident Evil 3 and Half-Life: Alyx, to platformers like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, to sprawling RPGs like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Persona 5 Royal. However, this week seems to be the time for strategy
In the last few weeks before I started up Gears Tactics to review, I had played through Gears 5 since I hadn’t quite gotten to it when it released last fall. Since it’s been some time since playing Gears of War 4, I felt familiarizing myself with the gameplay elements of Gears again would be
For around a month now, the latest popular esports title Valorant by Riot Games has gained huge traction by esports players and streamers alike. What I like to call by the name “Counter-Strike: GO: Overwatch Edition,” Valorant is a 5v5 objective-based hero first-person shooter where the offensive team must either wipe out the enemy team
When Sony revealed the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller a couple weeks ago, the initial reaction to it, for the most part, was shock from how different it looked. From its form factor and aesthetic to the name change itself, the DualSense is a pretty drastic shift — relative to its predecessor, that is — from
Nathan Drake. Aloy. Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Sam Porter Bridges. The list of great characters in action-adventure video games is long and vast. Each and every one of them possesses their own unique skill set that makes them the best of the best. But what if you were some kind of video game version of
XCOM: Chimera Squad is quite the pleasant surprise. It was announced without fanfare just a few days ago, slated to release less than a fortnight later. The dislikes on the reveal videos suggest that people were unhappy with it though, and I don’t exactly blame them. With the hints and setup for an XCOM 3?
Seiken Densetsu 3 first made its appearance in 1995 for the Super Famicom but unfortunately, the game would never receive a Western release in its original form. Now, under the new name Trials of Mana, the game has finally arrived outside of Japan as a full 3D remake of Seiken Densetsu 3. Everything from the
Mount & Blade: Warband is one of my favorite games of the past decade. It fulfills that need for gritty semi-realistic medieval combat while pairing it with a deep, albeit janky, kingdom-building simulator. Now with the release of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord I’ve found a new favorite title, or rather a favorite time sink,
Like I’m sure a lot of you are experiencing right now, the coronavirus pandemic has made things feel very weird and bizarre. After having been largely at home now for the better part of a month, I’m still finding it strange to adjust to the reality of the situation, especially coming to terms with how
For me, one game has risen apart from the rest in recent months. One of the few AAA releases that doesn’t focus on performing wrestling moves on zombies or using a demon’s spine as a pull-up bar. One that’s rather gentle and has become a great comfort to people recently. If you don’t know what
Despite video games being a highly profitable industry at this point, there is still persistent and prevalent insecurity amongst gaming communities. To the mainstream, gaming still has many connotations and stereotypes that create a defensive and uptight attitude amongst the most fervorous so-called “gamers.” Whether the gaming community at large deserves or even needs acceptance
While playing through Resident Evil 3 for review, I was constantly impressed by everything Capcom did with Carlos Oliveira. I never had the pleasure of playing the original RE3 release, but I’d always heard mixed reactions surrounding the U.B.C.S. soldier. In the remake, I was left wanting to know more about Carlos, wishing they’d added
With zero notice, Nintendo released a Nintendo Mini Direct at the end of March, featuring updates on many anticipated titles. One such title just happens to be my most anticipated game of the year, Bravely Default 2, and with that news came a surprise playable demo. After the Direct, I went “directly” to the eShop
Nintendo is the king of giving their fanbase everything they want, but usually with a catch. Fans were practically screaming from the rooftops that they wanted an online service. Nintendo answered with a $20/year subscription plan that gave players multiplayer access to select titles and a catalog of titles to play, but only NES titles.
With the hot successes of Sayonara Wild Hearts, Outer Wilds, Florence, and What Remains of Edith Finch, Annapurna Interactive has become one of the most attractive game publishers this generation. Similarly to Devolver Digital, Annapurna has a diverse lineup of games that will more or less have something of interest to most gamers. After being
In 2019, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice launched and was notable for its difficulty curve. It was this unchangeable difficulty that found discussions come forth where disabled players were wanting to experience the game with assists or a difficulty that suited their capabilities. Of course, abled players jumped in on the conversation, trying to “defend” the
Marcus Lehto has had an extraordinary career. His big break came when he joined up with Bungie in 1997 and worked on Myth: The Fallen Lords. After that, the company started working on Halo, which he co-created. Officially, he was the Creative Art Director at Bungie, and he made Master Chief, the iconic hulking green
After what has seemed like an eternally long wait, the moment has finally arrived. Yes, Final Fantasy VII Remake is real, it’s here, and most importantly, you can go play it right now. With the game’s release on PS4 today, we’re sure that you’re ready to dive into this newly-reimagined version of Midgar and ready to laugh,
