Granblue Fantasy Versus is the newest fighting game by Arc System Works and Cygames. It is incredibly approachable, making it a great competitive game for beginners. However, don’t mistake its approachability for lack of depth. There is a lot to learn within its accessible shell, and this Granblue Fantasy Versus guide will give you a

While PAX East 2020 had some notable last minute absences from the show floor such as PlayStation, what the convention didn’t lack was a breadth of indie games to choose from. PAX has always held its reputation of being a treasure trove of incredible indie gaming experiences, and PAX East this year was certainly no
Larian Studios has finally peeled back the curtain on the gameplay of their upcoming opus, Baldur’s Gate 3. Hosting a panel at PAX East, fans slowly shuffled into the large room, anxiously waiting to sink their teeth into the newest entry of this fabled franchise. Over an hour later, I left that panel, and damn it,
Games like Hotline Miami, Katana Zero, and Superhot have been some of my favorite indies over the past few years due to each title’s fast-paced nature and reliance on one-hit-kills. If you have a game of this ilk that is entirely focused on snappy gameplay and getting as high of a score as possible, there’s a good chance
The embargo has finally lifted, which means I can freely speak about Arc System Works and Cygames’ new fighting game, Granblue Fantasy Versus. As such, you must be wondering where the official DualShockers Granblue Fantasy Versus review is. Long story short, there is a bit more of the game I want to check out before
We see many talented cosplayers grace the screens here at DualShockers from The Witcher 3‘s Ciri to Final Fantasy VII Remake’s Tifa Lockhart. But being a big fan of TLOU, I always love to see cosplayers morphing into a character from the beloved series. You may think that Ellie wouldn’t be the hardest character to
Metro Redux, a two-game collection that includes the remasted versions of critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic first-person-shooters Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, is available on Nintendo Switch as of now. 2010’s Metro 2033 and 2013’s Metro: Last Light join a plethora of games that are being ported over to Nintendo’s hybrid system following its overwhelming success with consumers. However,
I’ll admit, I’m a turn-based JRPG purist; I believe in the depth of strategy that is unmatched in a traditional role-playing game. Very few action RPGs can match, especially considering Square Enix’s last forays into the genre were…less than exemplary. Naturally I was disappointed when Square decided to forgo my beloved ATB gauge system for
Over the course of recent years, game developers have become a lot more open to the idea of tackling mental health issues within the games they create. This willingness can sometimes be either hit or miss due to a lack of information or empathy on the said condition. Thankfully, it’s being talked about more, which
The roguelike genre in the past generation has seen an explosion in popularity from the success of games like The Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy, Dead Cells, and many others. With so many new titles incorporating roguelike elements into their gameplay, this has also had the effect of making the roguelike genre a competitive one, increasing the need
After watching a three-hour presentation on an alpha build of Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 at a preview event in San Francisco, I had the privilege of interviewing Larian senior producer David Walgrave about the Dungeons and Dragons-based RPG which Larian plans on releasing in early access this year. We chatted about everything; from the game’s
Belgian game studio Larian has established itself as a master of tabletop-based CRPGs ever since Divinity: Original Sin released in 2014. The studio’s impressive Divinity: Original Sin 2 convinced Wizards of the Coast that Larian could handle the Baldur’s Gate IP according to Larian senior producer David Walgrave. With Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian takes its successful Divinity formula
Of all the games that are releasing in 2020, few come with the kind of emotional weight and baggage that Final Fantasy VII Remake has. While there are plenty of anticipated games, new installments of beloved franchises, and a few other high-profile remakes on the way, Final Fantasy VII Remake is attempting to deliver a
Today, Activision-Blizzard kicked off a brand new event in its popular online shooter Overwatch. To celebrate Mardi Gras, the team has started Ashe’s Mardi Gras Challenge, which gives you multiple ways to earn new rewards for the Deadlock Gang leader. Below, we have a full guide for how to get all the content from the
Ahhh, Selphia. I missed you. It’s good to be home again. I played the ever-loving hell out of Rune Factory 4 back on the 3DS, so getting the chance to revisit the Switch version was a welcome task. Even with this prior history, however, I’m amazed at how effortlessly it drew me in. The hardest
The newest iteration of Samurai Shodown is one of my favorite modern fighting games. Along with Mortal Kombat 11 and Tekken 7, it is the reason I really began loving the genre. Its slow and intense combat, along with its brilliant cartoonish art style is such a departure from what we’ve become accustomed to with
Having grown up with the Mega Man franchise, I vividly remember the rise and fall of the blue bomber. This perspective allows me to realize just how special this revival of the franchise over the past few years has bee. I am happy to say that the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection continues the tradition set
I can weirdly remember the first time I heard about Yakuza. I was at Wal-Mart, waiting for my mom to finish grocery shopping. Our ongoing deal was that if I went to the store with her and carried her groceries, she would buy me a magazine. So, I was flicking through the latest issue of
No matter how many times it happens in life, change is always around the corner. Sometimes it comes to us at the perfect moment, while other times it’ll come at the worst time. One game that tackles the concept of change is Florence, published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by first-time developer Mountains. The game
We are in a new golden age for fighting games. For at least the past five years, there have been so many great fighting games that get a ton of support even years after initially releasing. However, some of those great games get overlooked or don’t get the same love that franchises like Street Fighter,
Devil May Cry 3 on Switch is fantastic. Of course, that was true of the game for its original PS2 release and has remained true regardless of what system or version you’re playing on. As such, it’s nice to see that the Switch port is no exception to that rule. While some could make a
Daemon x Machina was first announced in June 2018 on Nintendo Switch by Marvelous. I was pretty hyped right then, as Macross‘ Shoji Kawamori was handling the mecha design. He is one of the best mecha designers and authors there is and definitely holds a top spot when it comes to sci-fi authors whose works
From its debut in 2010, the Darksiders series has continued to reinvent itself. With Darksiders Genesis, it comes out the gate as a Diablo-esque hack-and-slash with dungeons galore. For a series that has mainly been built on third-person action, the idea of mixing things up this much might turn some people off. Thankfully, developer Airship
In late 2015, I went out on a whim and picked up Persona 4 Golden for my Vita during one of the PlayStation Store’s year-end sales. Most of this purchase came down to the fact that I had heard nothing but raves from friends and colleagues about the game, and the series as a whole.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, the latest mainline entries in the Pokemon franchise, released on Nintendo Switch late last year. Sword and Shield made many changes to the Pokemon formula, including making it easier than ever to battle competitively. Millions play Pokemon casually, but the battle system is actually a lot deeper than it appears at first glance.
After getting my hands on Persona 5 Royal during a preview event in Los Angeles, I was able to sit down with Arianne Advincula, the head of Atlus West PR, for a quick yet incredibly revealing interview about the updated version of the game that’s coming to the West on March 31. We discussed the
Persona 5, a title many JRPG fans are familiar with, took the gaming world by storm when it first launched back in 2016 and 2017. Now with the Western launch of its re-release, Persona 5 Royal, on the horizon, how is this new version looking to stack up? So far so good, as I discovered playing
Arguably no types of video games vary more wildly in quality than that of remasters. Sometimes you’ll have games that have received quality touch-ups, but don’t really include anything else in the larger package to really make it worth a purchase. In other instances, the remastering job itself will almost make the visuals worse than
Valentine Day 2020 happened and as usual when such events rolls around, Japanese games studios, artists, character designers and developers all shared some Valentine-themed artwork on Twitter. Mobile and gacha games all do their own events too, revealing new illustrations for their characters. In Japan, Valentine Day is about women giving presents to men, with
Originally announced at Gamescom in 2019, Disintegration is the first IP from the new studio V1 Interactive. I got to go hands-on with it at PAX West last year, and at the time I didn’t know much about it going into my play session. The key part of the game that I knew outside of
