Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba The Hinokami Chronicles is the first console adaptation of the popular series, and is highly anticipated by fans – And I recently had the opportunity to play the beginning of the figthing and adventure game ahead of release. Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles is developed by CyberConnect2, the Japanese studio

The Sims 4 latest expansion pack, Cottage Living, is a must for those who just want to get away from it all and surround themselves with the simpler things in life. Basically, there are rainbow Llamas – do I need to say more? It’s been a tough year and while the vast portion of us
Ever since Fortnite and PUBG propelled the Battle Royale genre into the spotlight back in 2017, every developer in the industry has been trying to capitalise on the massive trend. Many have tried, many have failed. It’s difficult to add your own twist on such a populated genre, especially when the Battle Royale mode is
Scarlet Nexus’ big reveal during the Xbox “20/20” event back in May last year piqued my interest. Flashy neon lights and a futuristic, dystopian version of Japan looked right up my street, especially after two playthroughs of Persona 5 Royal in as many years. However, it turned out to be one of those titles that,
If the adorable Rot don’t completely capture your heart, the stunning and rich environments will make you want to never want to stop exploring. It’s not too often that an indie studio can feature their very first video game and receive such a positive response as Ember Lab has done for Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
12 Minutes ticks every box as it unravels a complex yet enticing narrative around a young couple stuck in a never-ending time loop. When you hear that actors Daisy Ridley, James McAvoy and Willem Dafoe are going to be in a game, you assume that this will be something very special indeed. Of course, only
Last week, I was fortunate enough to go hands-on with the brand new Arenas Mode in Apex Legends and let me tell you, the game is about to be shaken up. Now, I’m certainly no Apex legend myself and this event definitely showed me that. However, playing Arenas after a long hiatus from the game
Playing indie games one of the best methods to understand and gain knowledge of the endless creativity that oozes out of game developers. If you can’t invest months into these gems, playing a few hours of Boomerang X could be enough to give you a valuable insight. Being creative with games can is the best
Rainbow Six Siege starts a new year with a vision for some revolutionary changes in Year 6, some of which could split up the R6 community into a group of supporters of the new changes and a group of their opposite. But, before we start talking about the future of Rainbow Six Siege, let’s take
Operation Crimson Heist is just the beginning of a new era, but how the future of Rainbow Six Siege will look like? Here we will go over some of the brave changes that the developers have in mind for the future of Rainbow Six Siege, some of which I probably prefer not to happen, but
Today, EA revealed its latest project from the EA Originals program. This one comes from Velan Studios, who is the team behind Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. However, this game is something completely different. Knockout City pairs elements of first-person shooters and fighting games to make a new dodgeball extravaganza. I’ve had a chance to
Today, the team at Phoenix Labs is dropping the 1.5.3 update into Dauntless. This includes the Dauntless Frost Escalation, which pits players against a brand new behemoth. However, just getting to Urska’s lair is going to be a challenge in itself. Recently, I sat down with some of the devs and had them carry my
Even though I spent just short of 100 hours with Persona 5 Royal last summer, it was arguably the fastest 100 hours that I’ve likely spent with any game. Banding together with the Phantom Thieves to steal hearts and take down the most corrupt denizens of Tokyo never lost its charm thanks to its effortless
Editor’s Note: Little Nightmares 2 contains graphic imagery related to suicide. Back in 2017, Little Nightmares wowed with its tight, chilling blend of atmosphere and stealth platforming. Personally, I was most impressed by Tarsier Studios’ willingness to show restraint. Instead of succumbing to the cheap thrill of a jump scare, it made the player feel
It’s still early on in 2021, but I might have already found my favorite game of the year. Loop Hero from Devolver Digital and Four Quarters is a mix of two of my favorite genres: roguelikes and idle games. It sounds like something I’d dream up during an especially great sleep; however, this thing is
When I first picked up my controller to play Left 4 Dead 12 years ago on my trusty Xbox 360, I thought that it would be the kind of game that would just tie me over in between playing GTA 4 and Fable 2. Little did I know that it would become one of the
As someone that played through Persona 5 Royal over the summer, I’ve continued to miss my time spent with the Phantom Thieves after finally completing the game for the first time. Even compared to past Persona titles, the cast in Persona 5 really grew on me in ways that I didn’t expect, aside from the fact that
Watch Dogs Legion is a game that offers near-infinite possibilities. Players can utilize advanced technology that lets you hack into nearly any terminal, phone, surveillance and security system, computer, AI system, vehicle, or other tech devices that you may find. You also have an entire city full of people who can be recruited and made
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remains one of the high watermarks for the long-running series. It was Criterion Games’ first game since releasing the wildly successful Burnout Paradise and the studio’s first go at the Need for Speed property. Hot Pursuit built on that successful foundation while also taking the series back its roots. Well,
This late in the current console generation, I think we all pretty much know what NBA 2K is: an annual product that holds a deep admiration for the game of basketball, but one that really wants you to pay a premium for it and then some more every 12 months. NBA 2K21, due out September
Prior to my preview of Scarlet Nexus, I’ve been excited to see it in action. It was announced during May’s Inside Xbox and it was one of the highlights of the showcase for me. Its world reminded me of last year’s Code Vein but with cool psychokinetic powers to use. After checking out a new
Leading up to the official release of Mafia: Definitive Edition, the upcoming remake of Mafia, I was given the opportunity to play an early build of the game and see the reimagined city of Lost Haven for myself. I also played Mafia 2: Definitive Edition on my PS4, which prompted an op-ed from me about deciding when something is
At a recent press event, People Can Fly showed off the final class in their upcoming science-fiction looter shooter, Outriders. Fellow DualShockers writer Ricky Frech and I were able to try this new class, the Technomancer, in a hands-on demo. After a few hours of playing the game, I came away from the event more
After five years of availability, Ubisoft is finally beginning to merge its other properties into the publisher’s highly-popular multiplayer shooter, Rainbow Six Siege. Announced just a few days back, Ubisoft revealed that Sam Fisher, the main protagonist from the Splinter Cell franchise, is set to be the newest Operator joining the larger roster of Siege.
Much like the previous two games from Richard Hogg and Ricky Haggett (Hohokum and Wilmot’s Warehouse), I Am Dead oozes offbeat, chill charm with a familiar, relaxing and unique art style. Unlike their last two games, however, it’s much more grounded in reality. And unlike the trailers make it looks like, it’s not some gritty, hyper-realistic
From the creators of cyberpunk tactical strategy game Satellite Reign, comes Windbound – a brand new indie IP created by the team at 5 Lives Studios. Windbound lets you take control of the main character called Kara, a lost warrior who has found herself abandoned on an island in the middle of nowhere following a strange
Recently, I got to sit down with a relatively early beta build of FIFA 21 and play about a Weekend’s League worth of matches. For those of you non-FUT players, that’s about 30 games spread across Kick-Off and Volta (the only two modes available). Unfortunately, for you Volta fans (I assume there are some of
I’ve been playing World of Warcraft off-and-on for the better part of two decades. It’s been a lot more off than on for the last few years, but the point stands that I’m a long-in-the-tooth WoW player. As each expansion launches, I hope that Activision-Blizzard can find a way to recapture the magic from the
I’ve honestly been struggling to determine my thoughts on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla after having played a little over three hours of the game about a week ago. In its simplest form, Valhalla is very much akin to the two Assassin’s Creed installments that have come before it; Origins and Odyssey. As such, this format for AC has started to feel
Look, I get it. You probably saw this headline, proceeded to roll your eyes, and ask, “Do we really need another battle royale shooter right now?” And I completely understand that sentiment, because I felt the same way less than a week ago. Late Friday, Ubisoft invited us to try out Hyper Scape, the publisher’s
