Since its debut back at E3 2016, Days Gone is a game that I have been optimistically looking forward to, despite some of the trepidations that others (and myself) have had about some of its qualities. A post-apocalyptic world where players have to fight for survival against waves of the undead is far from a new

This generation feels defined by two types of games–the games-as-a-service model and the remasters. Aimed at the crippling nostalgia gamers seem to have (I know I do) the era of 90s games have started to hit the market in full force now in remastered form. It’s easy to look at these kinds of games at
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is launching early next month, packing in the first three games of the beloved lawyer/detective series in glorious HD. Phoenix Wright as a series is no stranger to being ported. We recently had the opportunity to play the most recent port, a remastering of the original trilogy on the Nintendo
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is absolutely not a Souls game. Coming into FromSoftware’s latest entry, I knew this new action title would differ from the studio’s past games, but I wasn’t sure to what degree. Having now played the first three or so hours of Sekiro for myself though, it feels like an entirely different beast, even
With FromSoftware having closed the book on Dark Souls–a series that has essentially crafted an entire genre of its own–naturally that might have led many fans to speculate on what exactly would come next from the studio. Given how the Souls series and Bloodborne have come to define FromSoftware in the past decade, it’s inevitable that comparisons will be
French developer Asobo Studio and publisher Focus Home Interactive have certainly crafted something interesting and unique with A Plague Tale: Innocence. In this action-adventure, you follow the tragic journey of Amicia and Hugo De Rune through the plagued-filled and formidable landscapes of 14th century France. Having seen the trailers, which captured my attention so much
Last year, I finally got into playing Rainbow Six Siege, and I quickly found out that I was roughly three years late to the party. I love Siege and if I didn’t feel like I had to play every game known to man, I would probably just be a Siegeman for the rest of eternity. Although
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is created specifically to appease fans of the first and maybe even some critics. That statement is probably the least surprising to anybody with a handle on how sequels to major AAA games work, but it was my main thought upon walking away from the demo. Most everything you know
Earlier this week, I went out to EA and played BioWare’s upcoming release Anthem all day long. It was the first extended period of time that I’ve been able to spend with the game and it gave me a lot more insight into what I should expect when the full game finally launches later next month. Overall, Anthem
I recently sat down to try out Mortal Kombat 11 at the recent reveal event this past week, and boy was there a lot to take in. Of course, there are plenty of moments of blood and gore to witness — I mean one of the characters literally uses blood as a weapon. But what was
When it comes to most racing games or simulations, you typically end up falling into the camp of striving for either realism and a more “serious” take on the sport, or aim for a more arcade-style experience that highlights fun and accessibility over making pixel-perfect recreations. With the Trials series from RedLynx and Ubisoft, however, there’s
I, like many of you, was definitely disappointed to hear Alien: Isolation’s Amanda Ripley would be returning in a mobile game as opposed to a more conventional console-based sequel. However, I did recently get to go hands-on with Alien: Blackout and I came away with mixed thoughts, most of which were actually positive. Blackout takes the formula of Five Nights At Freddy’s while
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a strategy game from Funcom and The Bearded Ladies Consulting that I’ve had my eye on since its reveal earlier this year and one I have been looking forward to since I played it at E3 2018. As an avid fan of the XCOM series, the game caught
I played about four hours of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a few weeks back and unlike the previous builds of the game that I had tried out, this one was a full build. That meant that every character that had been revealed since E3 2018–King K. Rool, Simon Belmont, Isabelle, etc.–were all available for play. This is
Luxurious islands separated by a vibrant salty sea and exotic trees complimenting the shores. Mountains are packed with rocks, surrounding a warm volcano, with some around a plunging waterfall. Mildly happy homeless people wander these islands, desperate for El Presidente to construct some buildings for shelter. I am that Presidente of Tropico 6, and I
During the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard unveiled the next Diablo game entitled, Diablo Immortal, which is an upcoming mobile game. From the moment it was announced, there was a lot of mixed reactions and confusion from the fans. Lucky for me, I got to sit down with the demo to get a feel for Diablo’s
The darkness is coming. She’s coming…this is was what my subconscious was telling me as I paced anxiously through the chilling, pitch-black corridors in Visage — one of this year’s most horrifying games, and currently in Early Access on Steam. The hand over my mouse perspired with sweat and my heart frantically raced as dread
Following our character creation of a charismatic mafiosa dictator with a love of Wes Anderson-esque pastels, it was time to jump into the first mission of the Tropico 6 campaign — starting off in the spot where you first meet series favorite sycophant, Penultimo! To check out what exactly happened (and how we stumbled through the game’s control scheme),
Sure, Tropico 6 may have nothing on the broad character customization within SoulCalibur VI. But you have to appreciate any level of character customization within a game. Before starting our hand at a full-on Tropico dictatorship. As you will note in the gameplay video below, I opted for a charismatic mafia-esque ruler. However, there are still some amazing
With the Red Faction series being dormant, Just Cause 4 has taken the reigns as gamers’ destruction series. I’ve always been rather reluctant with the series, as running around and blowing up everything in my path has just never really been my cup of tea. Needless to say, there’s no game on the market right now that relies on
In case you didn’t already know, West Virginia is a very, very hard place to get to. I experienced this first-hand while heading into the preview event for Fallout 76, which was taking place in White Sulpher Springs. The trip there ended up involving a missed flight, a later flight to Chicago, and then a 20-person plane
From just a few hours with Red Dead Redemption 2, I went from executing a train robbery, to riding on my steed across the vastness of the Western landscape, to infiltrating a rival gang’s camp and brutally taking them out. I went from roaming through the wilderness and taking in its serene beauty, to riding alongside
Horror-centric multiplayer games have been commonplace for awhile now. From older games like Left 4 Dead (which somehow is turning a decade old this year) to more recent entries like Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game, the horror space has had some standout entries over the years that pit normal characters against those of monsters or slashers
I talk about this all of the time but high-score chasing games are one of my favorite, rarely seen genres. Games like last year’s Nex Machina and the fantastic Hotline Miami 1 & 2 are games I still return to regularly, always in pursuit of that one perfect run in a given level. So it stands to reason
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
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
When I first picked up my own VR headset a few years back, I was enamored with the simplest of experiences. The novelty of virtual reality on its own merits kept my attention for more than enough time but the longer I’ve played games in VR, the more I’ve been desiring games that reflect what
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
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
