I’ve always loved the Trials series. It’s fun, goofy ragdoll physics combined with the challenging but not disparaging gameplay always makes for a fun time. When I was able to get my hands on an early version of Trials Rising at E3 2018, I noted that all of the above aspects were still present, but I was worried that it

Nintendo is rolling in the dough right now. With the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, the handheld/home console hybrid has made most of the right moves to put itself in the position that it is currently in. Released with one of the greatest games ever made? Check. Put out not one, but two of
As we draw closer to the release of Asobo Studio and Focus Home Interactive’s mesmerizing title A Plague Tale: Innocence on May 14, DualShockers wanted to delve into this dark, emotional-based story that revolves around siblings Amicia and Hugo and ask its game director Kevin Choteau some questions that should give players a more in-depth
With every Mario RPG game comes its own unique gimmick, and Bowser’s Inside Story perhaps has one of the most memorable. Enhanced for the Nintendo 3DS, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story encapsulates some of the best this subseries has to offer: a colorful art style, joyous music, quirky humor, sharp writing, a fun “other”
After a year full of action-packed and high adrenaline games, I was really happy to kick off the new year with what I thought would be a rather relaxing yet still challenging game. When I first heard about Elli, I immediately thought it would be a game for me. I love puzzle games and I always love a
It’s not very often you hear about the visual novel genre outside of niche communities or mostly Japanese development teams. From my point of view, as a newcomer to the genre in recent years, I notice there’s a lack of developers experimenting with new ways of expanding visual novels to a broader audience as other
There have been a lot of thoughts and hot takes going around the Internet lately regarding Anthem, BioWare and EA’s upcoming shared-world loot shooter. Of all those chiming in there with their own opinions on the game though, we here at DualShockers have been quiet about the game for now simply because, well, we’re not actively
Most of us already know and love Tetris, but over the past year games like Tetris Effect and now Tetris 99 show how resilient the classic puzzle game is. While Tetris Effect displayed that it could be part of a truly spectacular visual and auditory experience, Tetris 99 answers a question that not many have
Super Mario Maker 2 surprised Nintendo fans last week with its out-of-the-blue reveal at the start of the Nintendo Direct. Thankfully, it’s not just a port of the Wii U title; Super Mario Maker 2 looks like it is fully deserving of the 2 at the end of its title. The Mario community feverishly began combing
Last year, I finally got into playing Rainbow Six Siege, and I quickly found out that I was roughly three years late to the party. I love Siege and if I didn’t feel like I had to play every game known to man, I would probably just be a Siegeman for the rest of eternity. Although
I’ve been apprehensive of Jump Force since its initial reveal back in June of last year. It’s easily the most ambitious anime and manga crossover video game of all time, and yet, it stumbles so hard. Like, really hard. Like, so hard I can’t believe this is the final product. With all of the advertising put into this
I’ve always been a sucker for zombie-esque games, even when the thought of real-life zombies scares the living hell out of me. But thankfully, at least unless 28 Days Later happens–let’s not even think about that–at least they are confined to my console, for now. My very first zombie gaming experience was all the way
It’s a shorter edition of Drop In/Drop Out this week (for once) but there’s still a lot to talk about! With Mike out of town, Tomas Franzese joins Logan this week to break down all of the latest news and happenings in the video game industry. This includes the rise of Respawn’s Apex Legends over the past
Nintendo’s plans for 2019 have come much more into focus thanks to the Nintendo Direct that aired yesterday. In the latest Direct, the Big N has provided a little more for Switch owners to be excited for throughout the year and their 2019 is shaping up to be one of their biggest and best yet. That
When you’re spending dozens upon dozens of hours playing a video game, you can’t help but grow attached to certain characters. No, not in a weird way…just in the kind of way that makes us love them from the start of a journey to reaching the very end, and seeing how they’ve grown and changed
I can imagine the development process behind Far Cry New Dawn. Ubisoft developers, project designers, and executives crowded around a conference room, pouring over the reviews of Far Cry 5, looking at the shortfalls and critiques and meticulously planning on how to improve the sequel–where to experiment on in the franchise. While the gambles they made with Far
If anything has been clear from the beginning of 2019–even only two months in–it’s that post-apocalyptic games are thriving and here to stay. This year alone we have the playful rivalry between Far Cry: New Dawn and RAGE 2, as the two games are competing for the title of “Most Colorful Apocalypse of 2019.” Meanwhile, Days Gone is
Following the overwhelming success of games such as Faster Than Light, the roguelike genre has grown intensively these past years, with many news games releasing both from indies and from big companies. While the genre was already extensively represented in Japan with works such as theMystery Dungeon games, it’s not far fetched to see it
I’ve accumulated more than 1000 hours in battle royale (BR) games since they’ve become popular. Between PUBG, Fortnite, Blackout, Ring of Elysium, and now Apex Legends, I’ve gotten a lot of chicken dinners, a bunch of victories, I’ve escaped in a helicopter, and I have a few victory royales. It seems like Respawn Entertainment knows
Among the games that released last year, Detroit: Become Human stood out not only for its narrative-driven experience that had players making tough decisions, but for its relatable characters that made its sci-fi-fueled story that much more compelling. Through characters like Kara, Marcus, and Connor, players were driven through a story that highlighted what it means
The Grand Tour is an Amazon Prime show featuring three grown men that you either love or hate. Their motor show has ended up being developed into a video game thanks to Amazon Game Studios, making The Grand Tour Game their first foray onto consoles. The game lets you become the three frivolous presenters, allowing you to take control
To commemorate the launch of Nier: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition, Square Enix will be hosting a live broadcast at their Storia cafe in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro district. The event will be livestreamed via the company’s Square Enix Presents YouTube channel on February 20 at 8 p.m. JST. Interestingly, only forty people will be able to attend
Level-5’s Yo-kai Watch series has always featured a wonderful sense of humor, but I was caught off guard with the role-playing game starting off with an extended parody of Chris Carter’s magnum opus, The X-Files. Cheekily called “The Y Files,” players get to see cartoon versions of Mulder and Scully (now called Blunder and Folly) bicker about
During a demo event for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 I was able to talk with Yannick Banchereau, Live Content Manager at Massive Entertainment. I was curious as to his perspective and experience working with Ubisoft’s worldwide studios partially due to Metroid’s reportedly similar structure that obviously ended up not working out. As the live content
I played Ashen for the first time at E3 in 2017. Back then, in the Annapurna cubicle, I played a game that I thought would scratch that Souls itch I’ve had since I stopped playing Dark Souls 3. The demo featured a more reasonable co-op system than the game it was inspired by and also
During some hands-on time with Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 I was able to speak with Red Storm Entertainment’s Lead Gameplay Designer Keith Evans. I was able to ask about working with Ubisoft’s worldwide studios and how it is to work with people who are living and working in extremely different time zones all over
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is created specifically to appease fans of the first and maybe even some critics. That statement is probably the least surprising to anybody with a handle on how sequels to major AAA games work, but it was my main thought upon walking away from the demo. Most everything you know
Disclaimer: The names/handles mentioned in this piece have been edited for the sake of anonymity, but are only a few of the experiences I’ve had. “No, no, no! NO!” The ball bounced a few feet in front of my Twinzer after being delicately knocked over by another player on the opposing team. As the ball
After a surprisingly busy January full of games releases that either hearkened back to old series or outright remastered them, we’ve entered the incredibly busy month of February. While this is usually a slower period for game releases, that is not the case in 2019. February is poised to be chock full of games, and
Kingdom Hearts III is finally out and there’s one question on everyone’s minds: is it a good video game? We discuss the merits of what we’ve played of KH3 so far on this week’s latest episode of DIDO and are joined by DualShockers’ own Chris Compendio to try and break down what the heck is going
