2014’s Ether One was the debut project for UK developer White Paper Games, who at the time was only a compact team of six. And it was a succesful debut project, one that put the studio on the map and allowed it to follow-up with another new IP: The Occupation. And if Ether One was White Paper Games getting its foot

Back in September 2016, Square Enix Collective announced that it would be publishing a 2D adventure title by Throughline Games called Forgotton Anne. During PAX 2017, we had the opportunity to play a short segment to the beginning of this game. From that short experience, it’s safe to say that this is a title that should
Three years ago on March 25, 2014, UK developer White Paper Games made its debut with Ether One, a first-person adventure game for the PC. According to co-founder Pete Bottomley, the game garnered good exposure on the platform, but the team knew it wanted to bring the title to PlayStation 4 for an increase presence. More specifically,
This week’s shows is a bit shorter, but Logan, Taylor, and Scott still cover a fair amount of ground. Per usual, the cast talks about what they’ve been playing recently at the top of the show with the discussion centering on Destiny 2, FIFA 18, Forza Motorsport 7, and Metroid: Samus Returns. Afterwards, the crew
Do you remember the Culdcept series? The last the West saw of the series was an Xbox 360 exclusive called Culdcept Saga in 2008. The series might be rather niche, but it cleverly combines elements found in non-video games, such as Magic: The Gathering and Monopoly, into one. If any of those peak your interest,
While Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver released in North America on Game Boy Color only about a year-and-a-half after I was born, that never stopped me from playing them. After being introduced to the series through Pokémon Sapphire, I have since played at least one of every Generation’s mainline entries, and my love for the series has
In a time where the word “Nazi” is seeing its resurgence like never before in a turbulent political climate, there is something to be said for the way that the Wolfenstein series has managed to dish out the horrors of war in a way that is thoughtful, harrowing, and hilarious at the same time. 2014’s Wolfenstein: The
Coming from the studio that has delivered massive open-world titles like The Elder Scrolls series and Fallout, “immersion” has been one of the key factors in the success of Bethesda Softworks’ titles thanks to their worlds driven by player discovery and exploration. Now more than ever, Bethesda is taking that idea to heart with the introduction of
I have always enjoyed the LEGO video games, with the LEGO Star Wars franchise being my all-time favorite. So, when I had the opportunity to play the latest entry in LEGO’s expanding series — LEGO Worlds — I was pretty hyped. Having spent the last several moments of free time I had to play the game,
Evil has a new name, and The Evil Within 2 is definitely going to make sure that you know it when the game arrives later this fall. Sebastian Castellanos is returning once again in the upcoming sequel to The Evil Within, and ahead of the release of the upcoming horror sequel, DualShockers had the opportunity to check out
The original SteamWorld Dig has always felt out of place on the indie scene — a game that’s history almost embodies the gameplay found within it. From humble beginnings, the title started as a Nintendo 3DS eShop exclusive, with no clear motivation to move into a larger platform. Yet, after months-and-months of heaped praise from
After being leaked and then officially announced at Gamescom this year, BioMutant from developer Experiment 101 and publisher THQ Nordic caught the attention of many, including DualShockers. For those who don’t know, BioMutant is an open world action-RPG starring a little furry creature in a post-apocolyptic setting. The main character can be fully customized by
It has now become a tradition at every major trade show for our DualShockers Awards to include a Reader’s Choice, voted by you all, to honor the game our readers liked the most. Of course, Tokyo Game Show 2017 is no exception, so it’s time to cast your vote. It isn’t fun if we choose
NBA 2K18 is one of the most difficult games I have reviewed in quite some time. I don’t mean that from the standpoint of the game being hard to play, but instead I mean it has been difficult for me to gather my feelings on the product as a whole. On one hand, NBA 2K18 continues to improve
When it first released, the 2016 iteration of DOOM not only was able to breathe new life into a franchise that had been dormant for quite some time, but brought it back into the modern era with a roar. DOOM provided new-school shooter fans with a fast-paced title that burst onto the screen with searing visuals that
During a showcase event hosted by Microsoft in New York City, DualShockers sat down to have a chat with Rare Studio Director Craig Duncan about the upcoming shared world adventure game Sea of Thieves. Duncan tells us about quite a few aspects of the game, including elements of gameplay (like the hilarious ferry of the
Publisher Devolver Digital increasingly attaches itself to some of the industry’s most promising independent games. RUINER is the latest example. Founded on December 1, 2014, Reikon Games is a new studio located in the capital of Poland, Warsaw. RUINER is its debut project. However, it’s a new studio comprised of industry veterans whose credits include The Witcher series, Dying Light, This War
Let me just come out and say, as a fan of any particular franchise, sequels can be pretty scary. I mean, sure, it’s a way to extend the brand and continue the story. But there’s always that thought in the back of your head that asks, “What if this sucks?” Sadly, for some games this
Grimms’ Fairy Tales and other Western fables have been the source of many oh my favorite films and video games. I can appreciate how flexible the timeless stories can be, as they are told with a dark or light tone. There seems to be countless ways to tell each of the stories, from Alice in Wonderland
When Microsoft fully revealed the Xbox One X, its $499 price point point caused a lot of discussion, with many finding it too high for a console. Personally, while I certainly expected it, my gut reaction was similar: I’m used to the console market being relatively cheap, and like many who purchased a PS3 at

While the Wii U was an interesting console with quite a few awesome games on it, it is no secret that the system did not sell well. With an install base of only a little over 13.5 million, many Wii U games undersold and went largely unnoticed by many. Fortunately, Nintendo is giving some of these

Dataminers over at Switchbrew.org have discovered something very interesting hidden away inside of the Nintendo Switch’s firmware. A file titled “flog” contained an NES emulator that has been installed on all Switch devices since the console’s launch. Furthermore, the emulator launches the classic NES title, Golf, with motion control Joy-Con support included. The miners uploaded some screenshots of
Destiny 2 is lightyears beyond its predecessor. The introduction of an actual antagonist, story missions that provide meaningful content and deliver it in a way that is fun to experience, and diverse means of acquiring loot for your Guardian throughout make the game a joy to play from start to finish. While it isn’t without
Mary Skelter: Nightmares is an upcoming game from Idea Factory International for the PlayStation Vita, available on September 19. The game features characters from Grimm’s Fairy Tales told in an original story about a group of humans attempting to escape from a mysterious living jail. Playable characters who make up a group known as the
When I first heard of ECHO, I was excited to see a new IP take on the stealth genre in 2017. Over the years, I’ve held series like Metal Gear and Hitman close to my heart, but I always enjoy seeing a new approach to the genre. It’s good to mention that the team at Ultra
2003 was a pretty long time ago. It was the year that one-day juggernaut Call of Duty would debut. The year that one of the most beloved cult-classic Beyond Good & Evil would release. It was 2003 that one of the best games of all time, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, hit. And it was also the year that Chilean
When Project Octopath Traveler was first announced everyone thought the same thing: what is up with that name? However, after we gave it some time we returned to the announcement trailer and found a promising and unique RPG, mixing retro and modern graphics exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. There was much to be explained about
Picture this: you’re a detective and you’ve just received word that your partner is missing and in the heads of an unknown suspect. Your head is clouded with the realization that you may never see him again and all you want to do is get him back by any means possible. So what do you
