Upon seeing Anthem earlier this year at E3, myself and fellow DualShockers staff writer Michael Ruiz left our demo and felt completely at ease when it came to any concerns we may have had on the gameplay front. The controls felt responsive, shooting had a nice kick to it, and flying around the world was just as awesome

Despite having enjoyed the first season of Life is Strange, I never got around to playing Before the Storm or this summer’s standalone release, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. This wasn’t necessarily on purpose on my behalf, I just found myself kind of un-intrigued by the new projects in this universe that were being made. Upon the announcement
Playing Senran Kagura Reflexions has definitely been an uphill battle for me. I wouldn’t even necessarily call Senran Kagura Reflexions a full-blown video game. It’s most certainly not what I expected it to be. There were many times I wanted to stop playing Reflexions but the game’s wide-eyed protagonist, Asuka, begged me to keep going, to keep shaking my two
While I’ll always be a sucker for a great story in a game, more often than not the reason I play video games is because of the gameplay. If you’ve read any of my reviews here at DualShockers, you’ve probably noticed that I tend to focus on gameplay mechanics and their quality more than anything else. When
I’ve already played Assassin’s Creed Odyssey a handful of times this year and every time I walked away from it I felt incredibly optimistic. I said after E3 that this installment in the series felt like it was going to contain a good mix of everything that I’ve loved from it in the past but what I
If you would have told me a few weeks back that during PAX West I would be able to check out both Windjammers 2 and Streets of Rage 4 then I would’ve thought you had lost your mind. With both franchises having not seen new installments since 1994, it seemed safe to say in 2018
Coming out of E3, it was safe to say that Starlink: Battle for Atlas was my biggest surprise of the show. Even without the announcement of Star Fox joining up for the Switch release, Starlink caught me off guard simply because of how tight and engaging the ship controls were. That said, I only was able to check it
If you are here, reading this on DualShockers, there is a lot to like about SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. The entire game seems at odds with other trends in the market to cut down on fun portrayal of fictional characters–thankfully, that doesn’t deter too many people who are likely reading this review. However, while I’m
Starlink: Battle for Atlas made a stir earlier this year at E3 when it was revealed that Fox McCloud would be one of the game’s playable characters. What was perhaps more impressive to us though was just how good it felt to play after we went hands-on with it. Still, there’s a lot we didn’t know about Starlink following
While I do play a variety of simulation sports games, I will admit that I dabble in simulation golf games the least. That isn’t to say I don’t have a soft spot for golf games; I just tend to prefer more arcadey ones like Mario Golf: World Tour and Golf Story. Simulation sports games have
Point-and-click games will always hold a special place in my heart. As a child of the 90s, they made up most of the games that I remember, so I am always down for a good point-and-click. The Wardrobe is one such game that takes inspiration from classic 90s games like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle. With
While I didn’t play Zoink Games’ Stick it to the Man, I was impressed by it’s flat but vibrant art style. When I saw that the developers would be tackling this aesthetic again with Flipping Death, which brings a unique world-flipping mechanic into the mix in a story about Death’s temp, I was immediately hooked.
This is only my second year into my Pro Evolution Soccer journey, with PES 2018 being my football game of choice last year. And overall, I’d still consider my experience in the game nascent when compared to the years I dumped into the FIFA franchise. And while the rivalry still burns hot between the two, no other year has publisher
Like many, my love for professional wrestling has the WWE front and center. I have become infatuated with the product they have created, for better and for worse. As I grew more interested in the sport, I wanted to broaden my horizons. This is where New Japan Pro Wrestling comes in. The premier pro wrestling
It is undoubtedly difficult to blame anyone for being adverse to particular video game genres—everyone will have their tastes, and it is valid to not take to specific titles knowing that you likely won’t like it at its core. For me, one of the several genres I’ve never given a chance to is the visual
When the demo of Cyberpunk 2077 was shown for the first time behind closed doors at E3, many impressions surfacing from the show painted the game as some sort of next-gen miracle that would never run on current-gen consoles. Yet, CD Projekt RED confirmed that the studio is still aiming for PS4 and Xbox One. As
As one of the seven sons of Yen, I draw lots with my brothers in the dark and gloomy forest. As the chosen one on this day, a long journey through the three layers of the universe awaits me. The goal of my journey is to retrieve Shondi, a piece of the sun, deep below
Virtual Reality is still in its early stages and developers are trying to figure out what makes a fun VR title and what doesn’t just like when consoles made the jump to 3D environments. There have been some unique and excellent VR titles. Then there have been some that have relied on being in a virtual
After a year and a half in change with the Nintendo Switch, it’s become the system that I just can’t put down. While I was drawn to the system by the likes of its already healthy roster of first-party games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and many others, more
Square Enix has kept its upcoming survival action game Left Alive under wraps pretty much since its reveal at Tokyo Game Show 2017. At Gamescom 2018, DualShockers met with Director Toshifumi Nabeshima and Producer Shinji Hashimoto, who explained quite a lot of interesting elements about how the game will play, how much we’ll be able
When you think of your weekend plans, you don’t picture yourself hanging out at the hospital for 8+ hours (at least not before many drinks). However, with Two Point Hospital, that is precisely how I spent my Saturday night… all night. You wouldn’t think that being around medical staff, equipment, and patients would be very
I have always enjoyed campy adventure films set in exotic lands in the 1930’s. Movies like Indiana Jones and The Mummy with Brenden Frasier always succeed in providing solid entertainment. Rebellion’s Strange Brigade, a third-person shooter set during the 1930’s in Egypt, has the same aspects of those movies that I love: good guy, bad guy, a fantastical location,
With the end of Gamescom 2018, another big summer event is behind us, as we gear up for Tokyo Game Show in September. This year’s show in Cologne was definitely rich with Japanese content, including Devil May Cry 5, Ace Combat 7, Resident Evil 2, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and many more. Square Enix also presented Left Alive
When Square Enix launched Final Fantasy XV, many felt distressed by the fact that it was such a departure from the classic JRPG formula. You possibly already know that I loved it, but if you are among those who would have preferred a traditional turn-based game, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is without a
Blade Strangers is a weird anomaly amongst other fighting game titans like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tekken 7, and Street Fighter V. It’s not afraid to be something a little bit off the beaten path incorporating substantial indie characters like Isaac from The Binding of Isaac, and Shovel Knight from… Shovel Knight, as well as more niche Japanese characters from the Gunvolt series, Code of Princess, Cave Story, and Umihara Kawase.
After more than a little clamor for a Monster Hunter port for Nintendo Switch, fans of the series–albeit not necessarily the one that everyone wanted. Even still, Monter Hunter Generations and the previously Japanese-exclusive expanded version, Monster Hunter XX, are fairly underappreciated in the Western audiences, considering all the fanfare that Monster Hunter: World received by new and loyal fans alike. So
Square Enix opened another seasonal event in Final Fantasy XIV. This time around is The Rising, which serves to remember the fall of Dalamud. That is the calamity that marked the closure of the server of the sub-par version 1.0, and the opening of the brand new game 2.0 “A Realm Reborn” which basically performed an
Fortnite fatigue is a real and valid feeling—for every person neck deep in V-Bucks, there is another person who will simply say “it’s okay,” as they would with any other crazy fad that those darn kids are into. The fact of the matter is that Fortnite is everywhere, whether you like it or not. Fortnite
As much as I enjoy games with complex systems, sprawling open worlds, and stories that last for over 100 hours, now and then I’m just looking for something more bite-sized to sit down and spend some time with. Something that isn’t so daunting. Donut County is the newest game to scratch this itch for me and has
If you are anything like me, your PS4 or Xbox One isn’t just a gaming device. It is also your all points stop for entertainment in your living room–mainly Netlfix. Sure, I’m mostly spending my time replaying my third run of Persona 5, but I also like to put time aside to catch up on Disenchantment or watch
