I often find that Kickstarter titles can be some of the hardest games to review. Given the circumstances behind how these games (like A Hat in Time) are usually developed, I tend to find myself sometimes more forgiving than usual. Instead, I try to focus on whether or not the game’s creator followed through on the

As 2017 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games for our official Game of the Year awards. In the lead up to the New Year’s Day reveal, each member of the staff will give their personal top 10 games they played this year. This year has
Gust has been very active in developing many charming JRPGs over the past few years. We just got Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon, and we’ll soon be able to enjoy Atelier Lydie & Suelle: Alchemists of the Mysterious Painting. Recently, DualShockers had a chat with Producers Keisuke Kikuchi and Junzo Hosoi about
While all games are undoubtedly passion projects to their developers, it is always overwhelmingly clear when you are playing something that the developer regards as their baby. Games like My Dog Zoro’s Linelight or Tom Happ’s Axiom Verge are clearly labors of love and — despite faults the underlying game may have — it is hard not
Nine Parchments is the kind of game you play when you’re with a few friends and you want to have a drink. There’s no convoluted story to pay attention to, there’s not much in the way of mechanics, and the moment-to-moment gameplay is accessible to anyone. All of these things make Nine Parchments an incredible cooperative
Earlier last week, I got the chance to sit down with Far Cry 5 to check out how the game is coming along. I have a pretty basic history with the Far Cry series; the only one of the games that I’ve finished is Far Cry 3, though I’ve dabbled in Far Cry 2 and I wasn’t able to get into Far
Over the past few days, I have been going in-depth in the history and setting behind Sucker Punch’s upcoming open-world game Ghost of Tsushima. Part 1 of my analysis looked at the Mongol invasions of Japan that surround the events of the game, and Part 2 will take a look at the setting focused on
Since A New Hope first introduced moviegoers to its iconic universe over four decades ago, Star Wars‘ reach and influence has been felt way beyond the movies and into nearly every facet of entertainment imaginable. That of course includes video games, and if there’s one thing that Star Wars fans know, it’s that the franchise has had a
For this week’s DualShockers Community Playdate, we’re playing The Jackbox Party Pack 4. Where: https://www.twitch.tv/dualshockerslive/ When: Wednesday, December 13th at 8:00 pm EDT Here’s the best part: You don’t even need a copy of The Jackbox Party Pack 4 to play. Just join us on Twitch and you can play along using your phone, computer, or tablet! The Jackbox
Everything about polish studio Bloober Team’s newest psychological horror game is saturated and oozing with strange and anomalous juices that make you question your sanity. It is psychological chaos refined to its purest and most potent form, and so preternatural in its haunting that I sincerely am left wondering what’s in the water in Kraków.
It seems like we always hear of the dreaded online servers of digital video games closing down and resorting to the loss of these games forever (R.I.P. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game). Recently, many companies have been stepping up to make sure that these digital-only games don’t suffer this fate, such as the
Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Dead Rising series; it is one of my favorite franchises of all time, with the first Dead Rising one of my favorite games ever. So, last year when I heard Dead Rising 4 announced at E3 2016 and that fans would be returning to Willamette I was excited. Unfortunately, having played
In just a few minutes, PlayStation Experience 2017’s Opening Celebration will be going live — hopefully revealing all of the titles we are going to be hearing about this weekend. It still isn’t clear what we will be seeing, but wishful guesses include The Last of Us: Part II, Dreams, and the newly-revealed Ghost of Tsushima. For
In just a few minutes, The Game Awards 2017 will be going live — showing off the industry’s best and brightest with gaming’s Academy Awards-equivalent award show. While we still don’t know all the announcements coming our way, reasonable minds can assume we will be seeing the recently-leaked Fade to Silence by THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games,
Leave it to Aksys Games to add one more Falcom developed title to 2017 with Tokyo Xanadu eX+ for PlayStation 4 and PC. If you haven’t already, please check out my review of the original Tokyo Xanadu that released on PlayStation Vita — this will give you a good idea of the differences between the
For this week’s DualShockers Community Playdate, we’re playing Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends. Where: https://www.twitch.tv/dualshockerslive/ When: Thursday, December 6th at 8pm EDT Kung Fu Panda is included in December’s PlayStation Plus lineup: download it here! Chances are, you’ve never played Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends. You’re not alone. From the look of this trailer,
Shinichi Kameoka is well known for the Mana series, but is currently working on his own franchise, launched with Egglia: Legend of the Redcap, which is currently available for iOS and Android. In order to learn more about this charming mobile JRPG, we visited the headquarters of Kameoka-san’s Kichijoji-based studio in Tokyo, and had an extensive
Glitch City is nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. A dark, sci fi-punk twist on both New York City and Tokyo, Glitch City — and for that matter, the rest of the world — has fallen into a state of disrepair. Glitch City may even be worse-off compared to the rest of the country, with
Last year, Bethesda released a reboot of their infamous first-person shooter, DOOM. With the ever-growing popularity of virtual reality gaming, the studio best-known for its massive open-world titles like Fallout, this year the company has decided to port over three of their most successful games from this past decade onto consoles and PC. The first
What’s it feel like to go on an actual adventure? Growing up I always liked to imagine what it was like to visit different worlds and meet new intelligent races. For me, the easiest way to experience this was by playing RPGs. Over the years, I’ve seen the genre take a more realistic approach to
I got to experience Resident Evil: Revelations way back in 2012 when it launched on the Nintendo 3DS. We’ve come full circle now since both Revelations titles are now available in the Resident Evil Revelations Collection on the Nintendo Switch. Both titles are also available separately on the eShop. Unsurprisingly, the first game is identical in just about every way to
Back in 2016, Sega released the Valkyria Chronicles remaster on PS4, allowing a new generation to experience one of the best JRPGs of the PS3 era. Back then, I wrote an article trying to envision how Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 would have looked if they were remastered on the cheap for PS4 and PS Vita.
Sucker Punch has been keeping its upcoming project Ghost of Tsushima under wraps for a long time. Personally, I was entirely convinced that their next game would be a new inFAMOUS, or something still based on superpowers. I was sitting in the audience at Sony’s pre-Paris Games Week press conference when the trailer of Ghost of
The rise of Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most interesting stories happened in the MMORPG market in the past few years, with Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and his team swinging around a sinking ship during the 1.0 era, and then navigating it in a difficult market all the way to the very
There’s something about picking your dream car, customizing its looks, and drifting it through the mountains like Sean Boswell in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Finding the corned on a windy-back road or timing your shifts in a drag race down the boulevard feel rewarding and badass. It’s only when you take a
Let’s celebrate Thanksgiving with another DualShockers giveaway! The World Arena Championship is right on the horizon on November 25th, and developer Com2uS is celebrating their flagship tournament for mobile RPG Summoners War with a swag box giveaway. This time we’re giving one lucky North American reader a sweet box of Summoners War loot. What’s in the
The minigames have always been an integral part of the Mario Party titles, seemingly being the only thing that stayed consistently good and fun as the series got more experimental — a constant factor, frustrating longtime fans. While I have actually found things to like in the newer Mario Party games, even being a fan of
Apollo Deckard — named after Apollo Creed from Rocky and Rick Deckard from Blade Runner — is a creative soul; he loves creating and listening music, playing video games, and his blonde-haired wife who he just got married to at the local museum. He works as a blogger right now, but he’ll probably get promoted
Root Letter (or √Letter) is a lovely visual novel that provides a window on a little-known part of Japan. If you haven’t played it yet, you now have the opportunity to win one of five PC digital copies, kindly offered by Kadokawa games If you want a chance (or several) to win, all you have to do
Tabletop and board games have crossed over to video games (and vice versa) in some interesting ways over the past few years. Games like the Jackbox Party Pack series have brought the hilarity of experiences like Cards Against Humanity to the living room, and even Dark Souls has made the jump to becoming a tried-and-true tabletop experience. However,
