Good morning all, and Happy Thursday! This is Lou Contaldi, friendly neighborhood Editor in Chief over at DualShockers. Many of you all are undoubtedly keeping your eyes peeled for Days Gone reviews that should surface within the next hour — we are too. Unfortunately, you won’t be finding pre-release review coverage for Days Gone at DualShockers, and we’d

A few weeks back at PAX East, we interviewed the directors of The Outer Worlds–Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky–to learn more about what to expect from Obsidian’s latest RPG. The conversation we had with them was more of a broad look at the game that also touched on the roots of the project and some of
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is quite divisive when it comes to the fanbase of the original PSP titles, though I enjoyed it. The game itself opts for three-on-three combat as opposed to the more traditional one-on-one fights we saw in the first two games. Currently, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is moving into the second year of its time PS4,
NeatherRealm Studios has been on a hot streak since 2011 when the developer rebooted its notoriously violent fighter with Mortal Kombat. Since then, the Chicago-based studio has released three other fighters – one of which is Mortal Kombat X, and the other two from the DC Comics fighting game series Injustice – all of which
No recent indie game has left me in awe like Cuphead. From the inspiring way that the game was created over several years by gamers who originally had other day jobs to the excellent style, animation, and difficult but rewarding gameplay, Cuphead stood out as one of my favorite titles of 2017. In fact, it
There isn’t really any other turn-based Final Fantasy game I have more affinity towards than Final Fantasy X. In my opinion, both its narrative and gameplay still hold up today, and in that regard, the game works to bolster Switch’s lineup of unique and meaningful JRPGs. If you’ve read my guide to Final Fantasy on the Nintendo Switch, you already know I
Lost Words: Beyond the Page is one of those games that you know will be a incredible experience from the moment you lay your eyes on it. Not since my glowing review of Child of Light years ago has a game appealed so much to me on the strength of its unique visuals alone. Of
Trine 4, the fourth installment in the popular Trine franchise, is honestly a fan’s dream come true. From the alpha build I watched the developers play through, it’s clear how much content and love was packed into this title. Longtime fans will be especially happy to know that not only has this installment gone back
Yoshi has had a mixed history as being the main protagonist. Although there were some games in the past – Yoshi’s Cookie and Yoshi’s Safari – the Yoshi game that inspired the look and feel of every Yoshi game after it is 1995’s Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. Its cutesy look – in this
When I went to 505 Games’ booth at PAX East a couple of weeks back, I checked out Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night first before jumping over to get a look at Indivisible. It is a new action RPG from Lab Zero Games, the creators of Skullgirls. Coming into playing Indivisible, there wasn’t a whole lot I knew about
I arrive at a quaint home office, decor warm and exchanged greetings even warmer. I quickly sit down as the game — The Sinking City — boots up on the massive screen, PS4 controller in hand. The Sinking City’s tone wasn’t anywhere near as warm as that welcome, though the game is enjoyable. You begin
Bear With Me, developed by Exordium Games–a Croatian indie studio founded back in 2014–has a simple yet distinctive premise that’s sure to turn heads. The title first released in 2016 with three episodes in which you play as a little girl named Amber who, along with adorable yet pithy detective Ted E. Bear, uncovers the truth
Shadow of the Tomb Raider may have ended the three-game arc of Lara Croft’s journey to becoming the Tomb Raider we all know and love when it released last fall, but each month since then, Crystal Dynamics has continued to deliver a variety of new adventures for Lara (and the player) to traverse through with
The success of titles like A Hat in Time shows how much players treasure games that invoke the bright and playful atmosphere of 3D platformers from the 90s. And from what I’ve seen so far, Ary and the Secret of Seasons is a title that encapsulates the vibrations of the 3D platformer era near perfectly.
Earth Defense Force has always won its fanbase over by being one of the most self-aware games out there. It’s simplistic and straight to the point, but that’s all part of its charm. The series has been a ton of fun in the past, but if you read my review of Earth Defense Force 5 you know that
Are you a newcomer to the Final Fantasy series? If you’ve been playing exclusively on Nintendo hardware for some time, you may have missed out on a lot of the greatest games in the series. Maybe this is your first time jumping in, or this might be your return after a long hiatus. Now, the Nintendo Switch
Double Fine Entertainment, best known for their work on creating the games Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Costume Quest, and Kickstarter success Broken Age, has been hosting a Day of the Devs event every year since 2012 in coordination with iam8bit. This event shows off upcoming indie games that may not be getting a lot of attention
During GDC 2019, I was given the chance to sit down with Paul Wedgwood, CEO of the newly formed Supernova Capital and Michal Szustak, CEO of Flying Wild Hog, the Shadow Warrior developer that Supernova just acquired. Our meeting took place in one of the W Hotel’s conference rooms just across from the North Hall
Now that Anthem officially released earlier this year, BioWare’s next project that is slated to arrive is that of Dragon Age 4. The fourth installment in the fantasy RPG series was revealed late in 2018 at The Game Awards via a teaser trailer. As of now, there isn’t a whole lot to see of the project, mainly because it’s
I remember the first time I played a Phoenix Wright game. It was back during a time where my local mall had both a GameStop and an EB Games. My pal Alex had been recommending this game where you play as a lawyer for quite some time. My parents had just reneged on letting me
Of all the games I got to check out at PAX East a couple of weeks back, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was easily the title I was most looking forward to playing. Having already tried it out a few years back at E3 2017, I was curious to see how development on the long-awaited Kickstarter
Graphics aside, Three Fields Entertainment’s Dangerous Driving feels like a racing game straight out of 2005. From the UI to the focus on speed, thrills, and arcade-like action as opposed to realism, the game certainly elicits a feeling more akin to Project Gotham Racing and Burnout, which this game’s developers created at Criterion, as opposed to modern
I’m a huge fan of the original Dragon Quest Builders, so the second entry in the spinoff series, Dragon Quest Builders 2, came naturally to me when I got to go hands-on with it at PAX East last weekend. Dragon Quest Builders 2 makes some solid improvements to its Minecraft-like formula while retaining what made the first entry so lovable. Fans have
Love and relationships have long been a topic explored in video games, but in the last few years indie games in particular have really seemed to be able to explore the topic in more experimental and emotional ways. As indie games have often focused on building narrative experiences or unique ways of storytelling rather than
Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds is one of the most intriguing and exciting releases of 2019. Led by some of the creators of the original Fallout, The Outer Worlds is one of the first true single-player RPGs that we’ve seen in quite a bit, separate from the mold of games-as-a-service or other multiplayer factors. The Outer Worlds seems to be
When it comes to the depiction of war in media (and with games specifically), World War II in particular is a period in history that has been pretty well-trodden in a variety of different genres. From several Call of Duty titles and even to last year’s Battlefield V, the events and conflicts that have shaped World
Of all the games I checked out last week during PAX East, Splitgate: Arena Warfare was one game that I was extremely curious to try out for myself. I had first started hearing about the multiplayer shooter at last year’s PAX when it was still known as Wormhole Wars. The pitch of combining the arena shooting of Halo–arguably
As soon as I got the green light from the Editorial Team here at DualShockers that I’d be one of the staff writers going to and covering PAX East 2019, there was only one studio that I had to see while I was there—Yacht Club Games. I simply love Shovel Knight and each free expansion
Being let down by a game that’s nearly great can be more disappointing than playing a game that’s outright terrible. When the potential for a game that could be something great is there, one can’t help but think about what could have been. Unfortunately, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is one of these titles
Final Fantasy has noticeably changed since its turn-based roots back in 1987. No other entry represents that change more than Final Fantasy XV in my mind. While I have many things I love about this entry in the longrunning series and many things I dislike, Episode Ardyn is the finale to this saga that began back in 2006 with Final Fantasy
