PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well — a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that’s

Bringing comic book characters to life in a fitting and accurate way has always been a rocky road for video game developers. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe™ seems to be perpetually knocking it out of the park, comic to game transitions oftentimes aren’t quite as on point. With Insomniac Games’ incarnation of Peter Parker’s alter
It is a tradition at every major trade show for our DualShockers Awards to include a Reader’s Choice Award, voted by you, to honor the favorite game among our readers. Of course, Gamescom is no exception, so it’s time to express your preference After all, it isn’t very fun if we choose everything ourselves, and the undeniable fact is
bread machine games recently released its new game Slam Land, and to celebrate you have a chance to win either a Nintendo Switch, a custom Slam Land skin for the console and its controllers, and a digital copy of the game, or one of fifteen digital download codes for Slam Land, allso for the Switch. If you want a
Each video game establishes its own degree of literacy—that is, every new game that one plays has to teach them the ways of its language. This will generally come in some form of tutorial, whether they be optional or a part of whatever story the game is telling. Simply put, games go out of their
Cosmic Star Heroine has all the makings of a ’90s SNES RPG. It’s a solid game at an affordable price, but Cosmic Star Heroine rarely sets itself apart from the wide variety of games that came before it, and because of that it suffers. In my mind, the game is not much more than RPG comfort food that
Every lead up to a new Smash Bros. game is special. From the exciting announcements of new characters, stages, and game modes, to the ever-joyful trailers that are always in store, I’d argue that Super Smash Bros. and its developers know how to create more hype and anticipation than almost any other game. Even with this being said, there’s
Mobile gaming is having a renaissance, however, it’s not the one I anticipated. In the past, I shared the belief that mobile gaming would eventually become so inherently convenient that it would change the modern gaming landscape in one fell swoop. Speaking in 2018, one look around my bedroom would prove otherwise. On my coffee
The battle royale genre has become all the rage in the gaming community in the past year. For anyone that has been living under a rock for this time, the battle royale genre is focused around a multiplayer mode that drops a large number of players on a diminishing map, and the last player standing
Whether Japanese games are “cool” or not depends a lot on who you’re talking to. Some consider them absolutely cool, others don’t. Lately, there has certainly been an increase in the former camp. So what makes Japanese games “cool” for those who enjoy them? There are many factors in play, which have to do with
Story-driven games are my absolute favorite to play; add in some serious moral dilemmas that test the boundaries of humanity, and I’m hooked. However, that is not all it takes for me to like a game; the story’s plot has to actually make sense, the characters have to be believable, and it has to be enjoyable
The first game that got me really interested in video games was none other than Message in a Haunted Mansion, one of the all-time best point-and-click mystery Nancy Drew games by Her Interactive; I had it for both my Game Boy Advance and on PC. After revealing the person behind the “hauntings” and beating the game, I
While I’m mostly a fan of first-person shooters, there’s still a big place in my heart for the genre’s cousin, the third-person shooter. The first one that I played was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves back in 2009, and since then I try and play as many in the genre as possible. So when I first heard about Strange
With its initial reveal during this year’s E3 2018 by Nintendo, Killer Queen Black is a title that may have flown a bit under the radar for many as the follow-up to a beloved arcade hit, myself included. However, after having gotten to play a bit of the title hands-on, Killer Queen Black is certainly a title
While Okami was released all the way back in 2006, the recent release of Okami HD on Nintendo Switch has shown that its remarkable visuals and unique gameplay mechanics have stood the test of time, and now Switch owners will have the chance to experience one of the most acclaimed titles of the past decade. That being
When Hello Neighbor was originally revealed many years ago, I was genuinely excited for the quasi-horror/puzzle game. Unfortunately, that excitement quickly ran out when I found out that the game was only coming to PC and Xbox One (at the time), as my PC can’t handle running many games, and I simply didn’t own an Xbox One. That
It is that time of year once again: theHGC Western Clash – Phase 2 is upon us, bringing some of the best professional Heroes of the Storm eSports teams together to clash for the weekend. For those who are just jumping into the world of HotS eSports — or really any eSport in general —
Overcooked 2 is out today on nearly every current generation platform, which means it’s time to get back in the kitchen with your friends and start whipping up new recipes for the masses. With online co-op and a handful of other new features in tow, this sequel stays true to what the original game was while
As one of the final projects to come from the brief, but impactful, run of developer Clover Studio (the predecessor to a team that would become PlatinumGames), a game like Okami certainly was a good note to end on. The PS2-era action-adventure game–originally released back in 2006–garnered critical acclaim for its striking balance of gameplay that had
So, you’ve finished up Octopath Traveler and you’re looking for some more JRPGs to lose countless hours of your life to? If you’re a hardcore JRPG fan you’ve likely heard of most, if not all, of the titles that’ll be listed below…and that’s okay! However, this list is meant for those who might be a bit more unfamiliar
Overcooked 2 is a lot like going back for seconds: none of the courses you ate the first time around have changed, but the overall meal is still just as good, provided you’re still hungry. Coming into Overcooked 2, to say I was hungry for more of this co-op centric romp would be spot-on. The original Overcooked caught
WarioWare has always been one of the weirdest, most endearing corners of Nintendo’s wide breadth of IP. Its memorable and funny characters work well in tandem with the unique microgames in order to create minigame collections with a little more versatility than most in other games in its genre. That being said, we actually haven’t
EA’s wildly popular FIFA series is once again hitting PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch this September with FIFA 19. This version of the game comes with its fair share of notable improvements, including the addition of Champions League, an entirely reworked Kick-Off mode, and vastly improved animations. Last month, DualShockers attended an EA
While soccer has never really caught on in the United States like the rest of the world, EA’s FIFA series remains one of their most lucrative best-selling series. 2018 has been a big year for soccer with the World Cup, and EA plans on following that up with FIFA 19 on PC, PS4, Xbox One,
Fortnite might be the most popular game in the world right now, but it sure as heck wasn’t always this way. In fact, there was a time when I wondered if Fortnite was still even slated to release. From the game’s announcement, to release, to then becoming what the phenomenon it is today, Fortnite‘s development is one of the most fascinating and
We often cover PlayStation 4 themes from many regions here on DualShockers, especially when they’re free. Yet, many seem to think that they cannot use, for instance, a Japanese theme with an American account, or an American theme with a European account. This is not the case. If you think you’re stuck using only themes
When I think back on Red Dead Redemption, there are plenty of scenes and images that immediately come to my mind that capture that game’s particular sense of grandeur. There are the obvious action-packed moments, like gunfights against outlaws, heists, and robberies, and the quieter moments that truly let the game’s Western setting shine: galloping out
Salt and Sanctuary has made its way to the Switch today which, believe it or not, makes it one of the first Souls-like games that has ever come to a Nintendo platform. As such, many gamers who only play their games on Nintendo consoles might be unfamiliar with the ins-and-outs of the Souls-like genre and as
The past few months I’ve had an exciting rush of nostalgia as the upcoming Spyro: Reignited Trilogy has been teased with loads of gameplay at E3. There’s also the Nintendo Switch and PC launch of the Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy recently. Both of these were classic platformers from my childhood and the desire to play
Bit Kid Inc. has just released Chasm, a Metroidvania-style platformer with procedurally-generated room placement for PC, PS4, and PS Vita. The game follows a knight from the Guildean Kingdom who gets sent to the mining town of Karthas on his first mission, only to find it abandoned. If an effort to save its villages, players delve
