I won’t mince words: Past Cure is a bad video game. Merely calling it bad, however, doesn’t honestly explain just how shockingly terrible it is in every way. Between its nonsensical story, horrible gunplay, and animations from the PS2 era of consoles, Past Cure has blown my mind and reached new depths of awfulness that I didn’t know was possible

I’ve been playing Owlboy on the Nintendo Switch for a majority of this past week and I find it to be such an incredibly charming game. From very early on, the music, aesthetic, and the game’s sympathetic protagonist Otus draws you into the world that it has created and fills you with a sense of wonder. What I did
Developer Long Hat House’s Dandara is just a conceptually pleasing game. Rethinking the standard Metroid-type game from the ground up, Dandara approaches a near-saturated genre with new takes that genuinely flip gameplay on its head. Dandara is without a doubt a merger of old and new ideas. On one point of the spectrum, the game offers the standard (and still equally
In today’s gaming industry many genres tend to be plagued with oversaturation; not to say that a particular genre has declined in overall quality, but there is no denying that you need to dig deep within a specific genre to find a gem that’s worth your time and money. That being said, it takes a
Every so often, an RPG releases that is regarded highly by all who play it, but sadly some of those titles have trouble reaching a wider audience. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series falls perfectly into this category with the recent release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II on PC. Joining
It’s time to take a third stab at Monster Hunter: World for DualShockers’ Weekly Community Game Night! Since last week’s Monster Hunt went so well, we’re heading back to the island for part three! Here are the details for Part Three: What: Monster Hunter: World on PlayStation 4 Where: https://www.twitch.tv/dualshockerslive/ When: Thursday, February 15th at 8:30 pm EDT
Even though it’s 2018, I keep finding myself playing remakes or remasters of games that I regard as some of the best video games I’ve ever played. Video games should provide experiences that aren’t easily forgotten, and Secret of Mana on SNES was a game that did just that for me. Even if you haven’t
In 2014, Over the Moon Games released The Fall, an action-platformer starring A.R.I.D. (an acronym forArmoured Robotics Interface Device; also spelled Arid), an A.I. onboard a combat suit housing the human pilot Colonel Josephs. Her objective is to save the pilot by any means necessary. Without spoiling anything, the game tells a clever story that
After the success of the studio’s first project, Raw Data, many fans of the game (including myself) were hoping that Survios’ next project would be within the same realm; offering more refined gameplay and making improvements upon Raw Data. So, last year when Survios announced Sprint Vector it was safe to say it threw everyone off. Especially considering
Good morning, Nintendo Switch fanbase. Thanks for taking the time out of your day, and I’m sorry for tricking you into this. Take your coat off, grab some Dunkaroos, and take a seat. The broader gaming community has talked it over, and it’s time for a port begging intervention. All joking aside, it is time
On the surface, Crossing Souls makes quite the impression with its thoroughly polished rendition of the 80’s that mixes pixel art from a bygone era, vibes of a Saturday morning cartoon, and a story reminiscent of a Spielberg summer blockbuster. Crossing Souls undeniably time-travels and captures the period meticulously and truthfully, packing a serious dosage
The biggest innovation of Dynasty Warriors 9 compared to its predecessors lays in the shift to an open-world environment. The game is set in China, and China is definitely a big place. Of course, the map does not represent the whole country, and it’s not in a 1:1 scale, but just how big is it?
Week 4 of the Overwatch League has come and gone with some rather interesting results. Going into this week, I would have told you that the London Spitfire, Seoul Dynasty, and New York Excelsior were sure bets to make it to the Stage 1 Finals. After Week 4 concluded, I am not too sure: A
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom has eluded release for quite some time. Over the past year, DualShockers has reported on several delays with the developers stating that gameplay improvements and adjustments to systems are the cause. However, from the outside looking in, it’s tough to really know what is going on with the game and
Shortly after the first version of Minecraft hit PCs in 2009, it became a worldwide phenomenon. The series has been ported to every platform imaginable since then and has sold millions, a monumental feat for what started as a passion project from an indie developer. Unfortunately, when something becomes as successful as Minecraft, a plethora of
Last year, Survios (the same team behind one of my personal favorite VR shooters) Raw Data announced its new project. To be perfectly honest, I was initially disappointed with the announcement — mainly because the studio decided to focus on building a game that was designed for fast-paced locomotion movement. With the closed beta finally over,
Bright lights. Memories flash. Who is this? When is this? Who am I? Nothing is certain. As the daze clears, ahead of you stands the Demon King. People are screaming something… “Flash”? Is that my name? “Use your special ability! Why are you just standing there?! Is it the Fog?” What is happening? Sounds confusing, and
There was a moment during the middle of the PS3/Xbox 360 generation where niche RPGs were tough to find in the West. Instead, it seemed publishers released these games on popular handheld devices at the time, the Nintendo DS and PSP. It was around this time in 2010 that Atlus released a unique and interesting
Last year, I reviewed Pokémon Silver when it was re-released on 3DS. While I did feel that the game has dated in some areas, I also believed that the Generation II games were when the Pokémon series cemented itself as a mechanically solid series that was here to stay. That being said, Pokémon Crystal was surprisingly absent from the initial
Imagine a world where technology got the better of humanity and the world crumbled underneath the imposing weight of it all. Now, look at the image above. Does this description match the picture? What if I were to tell you they were one in the same? My Time at Portia is technically post-apocalyptic, but it’s so
With Week 4 continuing today, its about time for our weekly Wrap-Up of Blizzard’s Overwatch League. This week saw the most back-and-forth matches with six of the teams going to five games. It was also a week full of great rivalry match-ups that put on a fantastic show for the league’s viewers and audience. Additionally,
We already knew that the Final Fantasy XV team went really over the top with the details and the visual fidelity of the game, but I never realized the full extent of it until Square Enix released the benchmark of the Windows Edition for PC. Turns out that the benchmark is compatible with Nvidia Ansel,
The concept of “style over substance” is a real dilemma for the broader indie game scene. While finding a novel and satisfying gameplay hook is the bedrock of many smaller games, the task of finding that gameplay loop gets more difficult every year with thousands of indie releases across console platforms and Steam Greenlight. Because
Falcom has been increasingly making its mark on the Action RPG market in the west over the years. Now as we enter 2018, it didn’t take long for the first game by the developer to release in the West titled Zwei: The Arges Adventure. Now, it’s true that this isn’t one of Falcom’s more recent
It’s been awhile, but the Mana series is making a comeback with the release of 2016’s Adventures of Mana, a Remake of Final Fantasy Adventure on Gameboy, and the upcoming Secret of Mana remake for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and PC. Fans of the series seem to be eagerly awaiting the release, but this remake
Remasters and remakes have become a staple of the gaming industry over the past decade, but they tend to range in quality. I am one who likes revisiting old games that are near and dear to me, but rarely in those replay sessions do I feel the same emotions that I did when I originally experienced a
I’m a sucker for anything cyberpunk. And who isn’t? If there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s that cyberpunk is the king of science-fiction subgenres, designed and hand-given from the gods themselves. And three-person developer Deconstructeam has done the genre justice with its latest adventure game, The Red Strings Club, a narrative-focused
Of Mice and Sand -Revised- is a game that takes place in a huge desert wasteland on another planet inhabited by a number of different cute little anthropomorphic animals. Of those cute little desert denizens, you play as mice: short, curious critters with a knack for salvaging junk and turning it into something useful. The
Furi is everything I could ask for in a pocket-sized boss rush. It’s challenging, dynamic, beautiful in both audio and visual facets, and most importantly, challenging; there’s no fluff to be found. That matters a lot especially when you’re on the go. Having had Furi in my backpack the past couple of days has turned
Overwatch League continued in its second week with more competitive matches, unexpected wins, and upsets. From January 17th to the 20th, all twelve teams played another two matches at the Blizzard Arena in Burbank, California. Once all of the matches were said and done, we got a good look at who the top teams in
