Let's cut to the chase - if you live and breathe soulslikes, you're almost certainly going to have a good time with Wuchang Fallen Feathers, which boasts loads of weapons, engaging combat, big bosses, and a vast world to explore. But to make an impression in this increasingly crowded genre and be considered one of the greats, you need to do more than nail the essentials. If you're keeping your combat experience closely aligned with Fromsoftware's games, then you probably need a setting that's new and refreshing. If you're sticking with a dark fantasy world, then some tweaks to the typical combat formula wouldn't go amiss. Judging by my first hour of hands-on time with Wuchang Fallen Feathers at Summer Game Fest, it shakes up both of these areas, creating a dynamic and vibrant soulslike that still offers the expected levels of challenge.

Oh, no. I'm feeling a little game journalist's remorse on this one. What was so important, a decade ago, that I couldn't get behind a flawed but fundamentally faithful Thief game? What might have happened if I'd dedicated all my energies to pumping the bellows in the direction of its lukewarm response at launch, persuading peers and punters to give Eidos Montreal's stealth sequel a fair shake? Maybe we wouldn't have waited til now for the whiff of a follow-up, in the form of VR spin-off Legacy of Shadow... Read more.View the full article
In an interview with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lead writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, she claims that there's a "hidden main character" that might be divisive for some players. While it's hard to argue against the lead writer and one of the main visionaries behind this masterpiece of an RPG, I don't think it's a cut-and-dry issue. The nature of Clair Obscur's elaborate story is such that we experience things from the perspective of multiple characters, and the plot itself doesn't revolve exclusively around a single individual. So who exactly is the main character of Clair Obscur after all? View the full article

With the release of Patch 8, the RPG's swansong update, Faerun and its denizens close their eyes - the Netherbrain is gone, the city is saved, and, if you're me, you're cozying up with Shadowheart on a farm in the countryside. But for Samantha Béart, the actor behind everyone's favorite tiefling, Karlach, the work doesn't stop. After a year of relative silence, they're lending their rich tones to new videogames - Absolum, Fading Echo, and Tron: Catalyst being just some of "at least nine" fresh projects.

Hyper realistic life sim Inzoi is a strong contender to the virtual-world titan that is The Sims 4, even if Krafton still has a way to go to finish fleshing it out through early access. What I didn't expect was for it to square up to the likes of Stardew Valley. In a new letter from Hungjun 'Kjun' Kim, the Inzoi game director teases its third location, and it's been given a pretty dramatic redesign. Formerly announced as Kucingku, it's now Cahaya, a "resort-themed destination" that totally changes how your digital life plays out, making it into more of a farming game.

One of the reasons Resident Evil 7 is so good is that it's all, every part of it, 100% horror - every component is designed to raise your tension and make you scared. Certainly, there are nods to a few different movies and folklore tales, but, especially in its contemporary context, when the shadow of RE6 loomed large and the whole series was in danger of becoming irredeemably cartoonish, the tale of the Baker family felt, and still feels, like a reputation-saving breakthrough.

Epic Games has significantly buffed controller aim assist settings in Fortnite, and this has led to mixed opinions among the community. Fortnite is available on PC, consoles, and mobile, which results in a varied pool of players in most matches, as most platforms don't give gamers the option to turn off crossplay. This has been controversial for various reasons. Firstly, each platform has its own specs, and this will greatly affect how the game runs, which may hinder players when they go up against enemies that can play it with max settings. Secondly, there can be a disparity when it comes to how players control their game, whether they use a keyboard and mouse, a controller, or touch controls. View the full article
Valheim, developer Iron Gate's co-op survival game, was a breakout indie hit in 2021. It landed amid the global pandemic, in a strange moment in time where we were stuck indoors, some of us feeling slightly isolated and searching for ways to connect with the outside world, and a lot of us were playing videogames. It provided whimsy, goofiness, challenge, and togetherness that was so sought after at the time. Starting out in Viking purgatory, and in one of the easier biomes, The Meadows, Valheim managed to marry up the uneasiness and disconcertion of surviving your first day with all the excitement of the possibilities afforded by this dangerous world. It was also very pretty, and even now, years later, I always think of Valheim when I see a silver birch tree. Read the rest of the story...
