As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year.

Thunder Lotus, the developers behind Jotun, released Sundered for PC and PS4 last July. While DualShockers loved this Metroidvania with procedurally generated environments, it flew somewhat under the radar. Today, Thunder Lotus has brought the game into the limelight once more today with the release of Sundered: Eldritch Edition for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One
To say that Metroidvania games had a great year in 2018 is an understatement, as this year showed that the genre is more vibrant and exciting than ever. The many superb Metroidvania titles that released this year took the core elements of the genre–exploration and discovery that is fueled by players unlocking new abilities–and mixed
It’s been well established that I’m only a recent proponent for VR. During E3 2018, I got to play the first game that I felt was a truly unique VR experience. Before that, I felt that a great VR experience could only be accomplished with a large play space and a ton of expensive equipment. Back

Usually you’ll find in my reviews that if a game has solid gameplay mechanics, then I’ll more than likely be a fan of it. While there are far more factors that make up a quality gaming experience other than the gameplay alone, it’s often one the biggest ones when it comes to my own personal
I consider 2018 to be one of the best years for gaming in recent memory, even when compared to the lofty heights of 2017. No matter what genre you are a fan of, there was likely a great game for you to enjoy. I played a ton of games this year, both for review and

Desert Child is a very confusing game. The premise of the game is very simple, get to Mars, participate in the Grand Prix. To do so you will need to save up enough money to buy in, with multiple avenues of earning, and even more so for spending, that money. However, once you’ve filled up

I have a confession to make: for the past ten years, I’ve been using the Wii Remote to play Super Smash Bros. You may be asking yourself why? Why on God’s green earth would someone devote years of their life to experiencing Smash in the (seemingly) least intuitive way? Well, my friends, it all started out of convenience. Listen up,
This past weekend, it was reported that early copies of Kingdom Hearts III had been unleashed upon the world which meant one thing: potential spoilers were now at play. Now if you’re like me, this idea likely sent shivers down your spine. Does Kingdom Hearts have a pretty ridiculous and goofy (pun intended) overall narrative? Absolutely. But at
Welcome back, everyone, to DualShockers’ annual Game of the Year awards selection! We are all one year wiser, and one year more excited than we were in 2017. Thankfully, 2018 has been a rather contentious year with mega-hits like God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Monster Hunter: World having a strong showing — we are in no
[Editor’s Note: This editorial will dive into some story spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2, so we would suggest coming back to this piece after you have completed the game’s main story and epilogue.] Throughout Red Dead Redemption 2, protagonist Arthur Morgan will occasionally voice his displeasure at all the death and destruction that surrounds him
[Editor’s Note: This editorial will dive into some heavy story spoilers for Marvel’s Spider-Man, so we would suggest coming back to this piece after you have completed the game’s main story.] No matter which version of the Spider-Man mythos one experiences, a few traits should remain intact regardless of the medium. For one, Peter Parker must always
This week on Drop In/Drop Out, Michael, Steven, and Logan get together to talk about Sonic the Hedgehog and his deformed look in the upcoming 2019 film. Oh, and they talk about some video games along the way mere hours before Game of the Year discussions kick off. Episode 7 topics: Kinda Funny Games Showcase
When I think back on the original Super Smash Bros., I reflect back to when I was a kid, roughly around elementary/middle school age, and when I would play that Nintendo 64 classic endlessly. Those where the days when after getting home from school, I would spend hours in a bean bag chair in the basement,
In the past, I wrote about my dissatisfaction with Nintendo’s lackluster smorgasbord of Switch variants. While the Pokémon: Let’s Go pair of Switch bundles offer a refreshingly colorful (and non-neon!) set of Joy-Con, I ultimately concluded that Nintendo’s current fleet of Switch designs are entirely too tasteful. While I could understand why someone would want
The console race of the 1990s has reared its head again in recent years. However, this time it’s presented in a miniaturized format. What started off with the now iconic NES Classic from Nintendo soon gave life to a whole range of tiny machines imitating the heavy hitters of days gone by. Since then, we’ve
During the heyday of battle royale last year, when PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite were novelties to the general public, everyone was right to assume that the genre would take off and inspire numerous clones in the near future. A year later there are several of these for sure — probably in early access on Steam
With the Nintendo Switch acting as both a portable and home console, the possibilities it proves are quite unique. Games for the platform can embody the usual traits of current day HD console games, or they can be designed for quick pick up and play sessions meant to be experienced in handheld mode. By finally
There have been very few times throughout my gaming life that I really look forward to playing a game and that said game ends up living up to my expectations. Usually what happens is that it’s nothing that I thought it would be — the story isn’t very well done, or it’s just not very
The Last Remnant Remastered is sort of a weird release from Square Enix. There was no hype behind it, there weren’t many fans (as far as I know) clamoring for this 2008 title to be re-released on a modern console and yet here we are. Overall, The Last Remnant Remastered is a fine game, but the lack
As announced earlier in the year, Sony has created their very own PlayStation Classic in response to Nintendo’s NES Classic and SNES Classic releases, bundling 20 PlayStation 1 “classics” onto a smaller version of the original console and with the original DualShock controllers. However, personally (and for a lot of others out there) I find
Next year, Blue Manchu’s latest game Void Bastards will be making its way onto shelves for PC and Xbox One. The project was officially announced at X018 in Mexico City last month and caught our attention quite quickly. The game’s comicbook-inspired art direction combined with the strategic gameplay is a sight to behold when in action.
Who would have thought that 2019 would be such a prospectively amazing year for gaming. However, we have compiled a list of every game coming out and it is time to pick what is your most anticipated game of 2019! You’re given the ability to change your vote at any time before the cutoff time, which will be December
I’ll be the first to admit I was somewhat tepid and hesitant going into Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!. I was disappointed by last year’s Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as they made some parts of their predecessors worse. Coming into this entry, I saw the stripping away of traditional battles for something more akin to the
This week on Drop In/Drop Out, Michael, Max, and Logan all record together in person and the audio quality doesn’t end up being all that great — apologies in advance. The entire show this week is dedicated to The Game Awards and breaking down all of the announcements that came out of it. This includes Marvel
If you talk to me for any amount of time you’ll likely learn that I’m a huge Dark Souls fan. I could be wearing a Dark Souls T-shirt, or sporting my PSN name “Chloranthy Ring.” I’ve played through Dark Souls 3 more times than I can remember in order to get the ROFAP +3 on all
