Enjoy 15 seconds of bombastic monster slaying in Atlas Fallen's first gameplay trailer

To be fair, the limited looks at action seem just as frantic as youd expect from Eds impressions. We see some big, beautiful environments that will likely host our battles with the behemoth monsters. From the looks of it, almost every enemy looks Monster Hunter-sized, although exact proportions are TBD. There are a couple of dragons in the trailer, but alas, no dragon riding just yet. In-game footage arrived just in time as Atlas Fallen is releasing on May 16th....

Hi-Fi Rush's excellent photo mode keeps stopping me from playing the damn game

When Tango GameWorks announcedHi-Fi Rushwas getting a photo mode, I knew I was in trouble. But hot damn, what a great game it is all the same. Hi-Fi Rush is one of those games that’s just unapologetically video-gamey. All he wants to know is ‘where’s the exit’ and ‘let’s go’. Even the way it’s tackled rhythm action as a genre feels new and exciting, too. Hi-Fi Rush succeeds because it’s so gosh darn generous....

Dead Island 2 is looking refreshingly bloody and unpretentious

They’re all full of weird stuff. There’s a panic room where a guy turned into a zombie mid-demo tape recording. “Of course, it’s low hanging fruit!” he says, laughing. “And also, there’s no such thing.” The setting is probably my favourite thing aboutDead Island 2so far. Almost everywhere has been looted. “What I like about it is there’s just different levels of subtlety,” says Stenton. “There’s some elements that are totally on the nose and in your face....

Dead Island 2's Hell-A is a city of locked doors that made me furious

Notable among things I couldn’t find when I went looking for them: the bastard keys. I really enjoyed the design of the Hollywood McMansions in Dead Island 2. I appreciate the effort! See a juicy supply crate in a locked sauna? Buddy, you’re able to smash that sauna door. And then you yourself will be alarmed, ho ho. There were times I felt the game was openly mocking me. Imagine my shock when I went to pillage the garage and I was told I needed his garage key....

Forspoken's reviews "challenging" and sales "lackluster", says Square Enix

How wrong I was! It took six and a half weeks. Forspoken wasn’t the only game to underperform. That’s not even a dig at these other games, plenty of which are good, too. My only dig would be that they have terrible names and often non-existent marketing. Early last year, Square Enix soldtheir western studios to Embracer Group, including Eidos and Crystal Dynamics. That seems less likely now.

Exoprimal deploys its mechs vs. dinos action in July, with an Open Beta next week

Players can join the mechs vs. dinos action with friends across systems as the Beta includes cross-play. The new story trailer (above) teased the time-bending threats of the A.I. Leviathan, and introduced some of the characters behind the chunky Exosuits. Our peaks at Exoprimals combat were just as frantic, but tasty nevertheless. Looking at Exoprimals trailers and screenshots can be mightily overwhelming, though. it’s possible for you to pre-order the game now on Steam for 50/60/$60....

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse review: a frightfully frustrating flashback

I have no idea how old they are supposed to be and for some reason thats not surprising. They all have amnesia, of course, because thats a low-effort way to generate an air of mystery. This is where the frustration comes in. The same goes for navigating Rougetsu Island itself. The strength of Fatal Frame, comparatively speaking, is its atmosphere. Instead, its the grainy black-and-white flashbacks of Ruka, Misaki, and Madokas past that will haunt you....
