It’s tough to put a label on Journey to the Savage Planet. The first-person adventure wears the hats of many genres while channeling its inner No Man’s Sky, Portal, Metroid Prime, and Ratchet and Clank. Very often, a game with multi-genre ambitions and influences can lose its own identity, but Journey to the Savage Planet
Main
It’s no secret among the gaming scene: despite major changes to Xbox management and marketing strategy, PlayStation has grabbed this generation and refused to let go. The result is a less-than-favorable position for the upcoming Xbox Series X — with an entrenched PS4 ecosystem, Microsoft will have to work tooth and nail to claw back
I truly can’t remember how old I was when I saw my first Star Wars movie. I have vague memories of seeing The Phantom Menace at some point when I was very young but I honestly couldn’t tell exactly when I saw it. That being said, I do remember seeing Revenge of the Sith with my
About 20 years ago, I used to come home from school to watch Cartoon Network’s programming block Toonami. This is where I was introduced to anime. More importantly, this is where I first watched Dragon Ball Z. Although it took numerous episodes for one person to conjure up enough energy for an attack, I always
The lack of Virtual Console on Nintendo Switch is disappointing, but it has allowed for more robust re-releases of retro games. Sega has slowly but surely been re-releasing its classic games over the past couple of years under the Sega Ages brand. These M2 ports not only preserve and emulate the original experience as much
“I need this…to survive.” These are the words that capture Stranger’s timidity that is masked by his menacing complexion and gruff sounding, exhausted voice. Words that show a sense of desperation hungering deep within the protagonist of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD. For me, I’ve been reunited with Stranger after nearly 15 years since it originally
Skies of Arcadia is one of the most beloved JRPGs ever, and for good reason. It’s one of the few games ever created that manage to completely immerse players into its world and had them live through a breathtaking adventure. It mixes heavy and comedic themes, lovable characters, exciting storytelling, and a gorgeous atmosphere. It’s
Private Division and V1 Interactive are set to release the upcoming first-person shooter Disintegration later this year but before the game arrives, it’ll soon be having a closed beta period beginning next week. This beta phase for the game will let players check out two different multiplayer modes in Retrieval and Zone Control. Thanks to our
Certain genres can be missed out by entire generations; having grown up in an era defined by first-person shooters and action-adventure games, the beat-em-up has always been a blind spot for me. While brawler games may still be around these days, many of them have come across as nostalgic throwbacks to me. Not to disparage
In just about two months, DOOM Eternal is set to arrive and kick even more demon ass than ever before. As the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s excellent DOOM revival, DOOM Eternal ups the ante of the series in significant ways, especially when it comes to how the game feels and plays. At a preview event
In just under two months, the long-awaited DOOM Eternal will finally be bringing us all back to Hell. Thankfully, that’s a good thing, as the long-awaited sequel looks like it will be delivering another hell-raising adventure with demons, badass weapons, more demons, and more of the over-the-top action that DOOM has been known for. While the game
When DOOM revitalized the classic shooter series in 2016, the response that it was met with was about as subtle as the game itself. Backed by blaring heavy metal music and punching demons in the face, id Software’s reboot of the franchise was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, as it reimagined what a
When developer Electronic Arts planned out their yearly launch of FIFA 20, it should have looked like the easiest slam dunk in the business. Ultimate Team makes more money than just about any other property in gaming. I’m not saying game development is easy, but if anything it should be a sure thing; it should
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is finally out, retelling Goku’s epic tale in the form of an action-RPG. As you progress through Goku’s thrilling story, you’ll play as the titular character, as well as other iconic characters like Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta while improving their abilities and building friendships along the way. But how exactly do
After yesterday’s Direct, it was revealed that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will add six more DLC fighters to its ridiculously large roster. That means when the entirety of the aptly named Fighters Pass Vol. 2 releases, there will be a total of 86 fighters in the popular Nintendo Switch title. I’ve been mulling over who
Playing To the Moon again in 2020 is a peculiar experience. It still holds up, but the industry around it has evolved quite a bit. At the time of To the Moon’s release, games focusing almost entirely on a story with minimal gameplay mechanics were a rarity. Since 2011, an entire genre of “walking simulators” has
Last week, we gave you 10 2020 releases that you absolutely shouldn’t miss. However, that list mostly dealt with the biggest games of 2020. What about all the awesome games being made by smaller studios? Well, here’s the list for them. Below are 15 incredible-looking games coming from the indie scene in 2020. Before we
Revealed at Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, Elden Ring will be the next game developed by prolific game studio FromSoftware. In a collaboration between Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin and Hidetaka Miyazaki, this will undoubtedly be the Japanese developer’s biggest game yet. Here is everything we know about Elden Ring so far. What
When it comes to the Wii U, a majority of people found it to be the ugly stepsister of Nintendo’s hardware lineup, but it cannot be denied that the system boasted a great number of exclusive titles, one of which included the criminally underplayed Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. In my opinion, the JRPG was the
Temtem is a lot like Pokemon. Let’s get that out in the open right away. Developer Crema has described Temtem as “a massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure inspired by Pokemon” on their Steam page. Their inspirations are open and unabashed. Many will look at this and simply dismiss it as a Pokemon clone, or an ascended
Hey everyone! This is Lou Contaldi, friendly neighborhood Editor in Chief at DualShockers. Welcome to 2020, another year for our backlogs to grow larger and to accept no New Year’s Resolution that is less than 4K. In a quick detour from our normal gaming news, reviews, and editorials, I wanted to talk briefly about what
Just a few months ago, developer Infinity Ward took the gaming world by surprise, releasing a generally well-rounded Call of Duty game full of innovative features (for the series) like free DLC and crossplay. Now that we are firmly in 2020, I wanted to take a retrospective look at how Infinity Ward has done when it
Today is the seven-year anniversary for the official announcement of Cyberpunk 2077, CDProjekt Reds’ next ambitious project. It wasn’t until last year where we finally got a release date of April 16, 2020. Cyberpunk is arguably the most anticipated title coming out this year and has had quite an interesting development cycle. Since the title has met
This is where we’ve come as a society — it is 2020 and we now have semi-voice acted renditions of Sean Murray erotic fanfic. To kick off 2020, short essay (and meme lord) YouTube channel Internet Historian has decided to cover the No Man’s Sky debacle, from the game’s earliest days, its infamous fall from grace,
Whether I am playing the latest entry or arguing with others over what constitutes a generation of Pokemon, I will always be passionate about Game Freak’s classic series. Pokemon ingrained itself into my gaming library at a young age and I’ve been addicted to the series through its ups and downs ever since. Every so often,
2020 is a vital year for all of the major players in the video game industry. Sony is preparing to launch the PS5 at some point this holiday season, Microsoft will be doing the same with its recently revealed Xbox Series X platform, and even Nintendo is reportedly looking to release another iteration of the
Coming over a year after I first saddled up to play Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s fitting to come back to the game with a second wind and the chance to really take the game in. In the time since it first released, Rockstar’s ode to the West seemed to draw as many criticisms as
During today’s Pokemon-focused Direct, we learned that instead of publishing a full-on sequel or updated entry set in Galar, Game Freak will release expansions for Pokemon Sword and Shield over the course of 2020. A lot of information was dropped about this pair of expansions today, so we have rounded it all up for you
Since the release of the series’ first episode in fall 2018, from the get-go Life is Strange 2 has made it clear that this series wouldn’t be afraid of being a “political” game. Throughout its five episodes, the series has delved into heavy topics that are all too familiar in today’s headlines, from race relations
With CES 2020 happening this week and the highly anticipated PS5 around the corner, it was destined that PlayStation would be revealing something at the conference. And just like many of us predicted, we saw the worldwide reveal of the PS5’s logo — a sleek and consistent take that doesn’t depart too wildly from the
