id Software and Avalanche Studios’ new open-world game Rage 2 was playable at Gamescom, and Bethesda allowed DualShockers to record the demo and show you some spiffy bespoke gameplay. We start with a handy tutorial to get familiarized with the gameplay, and especially with the Nanotrite abilities that basically give us superpowers like Dash, Fus

Forza Horizon 4 had a playable demo available at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, Germany, and we were allowed to record gameplay to show you what it looks like. The demo was brief but rather intense, featuring all four seasons, and including various kinds of racing surface, like dirt and snow. We also were provided cars
I often find myself scrolling through media outlets–like Twitter, for instance–shaking my head and breathing long sighs of disappointment when I come across posts that seemingly point the finger at video games for the world’s mental health problems. The vast majority of research on the effects of “gaming” has been on its negative impact: namely,
Another Gamescom has come and (almost) gone, and it’s time to call the winners of our traditional DualShockers’ Awards. As usual, do keep in mind that no award is ever completely objective. These honors represent the games that we loved at the show, and in case of our top award, the Readers’ Choice Game of
Bringing comic book characters to life in a fitting and accurate way has always been a rocky road for video game developers. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe™ seems to be perpetually knocking it out of the park, comic to game transitions oftentimes aren’t quite as on point. With Insomniac Games’ incarnation of Peter Parker’s alter
It is a tradition at every major trade show for our DualShockers Awards to include a Reader’s Choice Award, voted by you, to honor the favorite game among our readers. Of course, Gamescom is no exception, so it’s time to express your preference After all, it isn’t very fun if we choose everything ourselves, and the undeniable fact is
One Piece World Seeker is going to bring the open-world gameplay style to the popular anime series, and today I got to check out the game myself on PS4. To be honest, the world wasn’t very open in the demo, as everything besides a small area was locked out. On the other hand, i managed
Devil May Cry 5 is currently playable at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, and today I got to go up close and personal with the Xbox One version of the game running on Xbox One X. I honestly have no words to describe how impressed I am with the game’s visuals. They look extremely detailed, and
If you love the Ace Combat series as much as I do, you probably know the big smile I had on my face when I got to play a mission of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown today at Gamescom in Cologne. The mission in question is the sixth of the campaign, titled “Long Day.” Our protagonist and
bread machine games recently released its new game Slam Land, and to celebrate you have a chance to win either a Nintendo Switch, a custom Slam Land skin for the console and its controllers, and a digital copy of the game, or one of fifteen digital download codes for Slam Land, allso for the Switch. If you want a
Each video game establishes its own degree of literacy—that is, every new game that one plays has to teach them the ways of its language. This will generally come in some form of tutorial, whether they be optional or a part of whatever story the game is telling. Simply put, games go out of their
Every lead up to a new Smash Bros. game is special. From the exciting announcements of new characters, stages, and game modes, to the ever-joyful trailers that are always in store, I’d argue that Super Smash Bros. and its developers know how to create more hype and anticipation than almost any other game. Even with this being said, there’s
Mobile gaming is having a renaissance, however, it’s not the one I anticipated. In the past, I shared the belief that mobile gaming would eventually become so inherently convenient that it would change the modern gaming landscape in one fell swoop. Speaking in 2018, one look around my bedroom would prove otherwise. On my coffee
The battle royale genre has become all the rage in the gaming community in the past year. For anyone that has been living under a rock for this time, the battle royale genre is focused around a multiplayer mode that drops a large number of players on a diminishing map, and the last player standing
Whether Japanese games are “cool” or not depends a lot on who you’re talking to. Some consider them absolutely cool, others don’t. Lately, there has certainly been an increase in the former camp. So what makes Japanese games “cool” for those who enjoy them? There are many factors in play, which have to do with
Story-driven games are my absolute favorite to play; add in some serious moral dilemmas that test the boundaries of humanity, and I’m hooked. However, that is not all it takes for me to like a game; the story’s plot has to actually make sense, the characters have to be believable, and it has to be enjoyable
The Final Fantasy XIV Moonfire Faire event has begun, bringing the heat of summer to Square Enix’s successful MMORPG. Yet, this year the quest to grab your much-anticipated summer wear is a quite a bit different from previous episodes. Remember that nasty (or awesome, depending on the point of view) platforming challenge around the tower
The first game that got me really interested in video games was none other than Message in a Haunted Mansion, one of the all-time best point-and-click mystery Nancy Drew games by Her Interactive; I had it for both my Game Boy Advance and on PC. After revealing the person behind the “hauntings” and beating the game, I
New World Interactive is currently testing its upcoming FPS game Insurgency: Sandstorm with a beta on PC, and here you can see what it looks like. The beta includes two gameplay modes, PvP and co-op, and while you could call Insurgency: Sandstorm a “hardcore” first-person shooter, the gameplay you’ll see below belongs to the latter, which is a
While I’m mostly a fan of first-person shooters, there’s still a big place in my heart for the genre’s cousin, the third-person shooter. The first one that I played was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves back in 2009, and since then I try and play as many in the genre as possible. So when I first heard about Strange
With its initial reveal during this year’s E3 2018 by Nintendo, Killer Queen Black is a title that may have flown a bit under the radar for many as the follow-up to a beloved arcade hit, myself included. However, after having gotten to play a bit of the title hands-on, Killer Queen Black is certainly a title
SKA Studios recently released its blissfully unforgiving game Salt and Sanctuary on the Switch, and to celebrate you have a chance to win either a physical copy for Nintendo Switch or one of fifteen digital Steam codes for PC If you want a chance (or several) to win, all you have to do is to hit the
While Okami was released all the way back in 2006, the recent release of Okami HD on Nintendo Switch has shown that its remarkable visuals and unique gameplay mechanics have stood the test of time, and now Switch owners will have the chance to experience one of the most acclaimed titles of the past decade. That being
When Hello Neighbor was originally revealed many years ago, I was genuinely excited for the quasi-horror/puzzle game. Unfortunately, that excitement quickly ran out when I found out that the game was only coming to PC and Xbox One (at the time), as my PC can’t handle running many games, and I simply didn’t own an Xbox One. That
It is that time of year once again: theHGC Western Clash – Phase 2 is upon us, bringing some of the best professional Heroes of the Storm eSports teams together to clash for the weekend. For those who are just jumping into the world of HotS eSports — or really any eSport in general —
Overcooked 2 is out today on nearly every current generation platform, which means it’s time to get back in the kitchen with your friends and start whipping up new recipes for the masses. With online co-op and a handful of other new features in tow, this sequel stays true to what the original game was while
As one of the final projects to come from the brief, but impactful, run of developer Clover Studio (the predecessor to a team that would become PlatinumGames), a game like Okami certainly was a good note to end on. The PS2-era action-adventure game–originally released back in 2006–garnered critical acclaim for its striking balance of gameplay that had
So, you’ve finished up Octopath Traveler and you’re looking for some more JRPGs to lose countless hours of your life to? If you’re a hardcore JRPG fan you’ve likely heard of most, if not all, of the titles that’ll be listed below…and that’s okay! However, this list is meant for those who might be a bit more unfamiliar
Overcooked 2 is a lot like going back for seconds: none of the courses you ate the first time around have changed, but the overall meal is still just as good, provided you’re still hungry. Coming into Overcooked 2, to say I was hungry for more of this co-op centric romp would be spot-on. The original Overcooked caught
WarioWare has always been one of the weirdest, most endearing corners of Nintendo’s wide breadth of IP. Its memorable and funny characters work well in tandem with the unique microgames in order to create minigame collections with a little more versatility than most in other games in its genre. That being said, we actually haven’t
