There have been a lot of thoughts and hot takes going around the Internet lately regarding Anthem, BioWare and EA’s upcoming shared-world loot shooter. Of all those chiming in there with their own opinions on the game though, we here at DualShockers have been quiet about the game for now simply because, well, we’re not actively

I can imagine the development process behind Far Cry New Dawn. Ubisoft developers, project designers, and executives crowded around a conference room, pouring over the reviews of Far Cry 5, looking at the shortfalls and critiques and meticulously planning on how to improve the sequel–where to experiment on in the franchise. While the gambles they made with Far
I’ve accumulated more than 1000 hours in battle royale (BR) games since they’ve become popular. Between PUBG, Fortnite, Blackout, Ring of Elysium, and now Apex Legends, I’ve gotten a lot of chicken dinners, a bunch of victories, I’ve escaped in a helicopter, and I have a few victory royales. It seems like Respawn Entertainment knows
Does Resident Evil 2 remake feel a bit too modern for your taste? Do you miss the nostalgic, fixed-camera technique from the original? The community certainly thinks so, with YouTube channels re-creating fixed-angle gameplay in a bid for Capcom to add the perspective in a future update. For those of you who are new to the series
We are mere hours away from the Western launch of Kingdom Hearts III — the capstone project of the Dark Seeker Saga that has lasted almost twenty years, across roughly ten games. Many of us (myself included) have had the Disney and Square Enix crossover pre-ordered for over five years, and the incoming release of KH3 seems almost…unreal.
Few indie games are able to command the internet’s attention on the level that Bendy and the Ink Machine has. Doki Doki Literature Club, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Undertale certainly make the list, but something about Bendy, the game’s Golden Age art style, and the elaborate horror story underneath has flooded store shelves and YouTube channels. However, unlike the previously-listed
When I play an arcade game, there are many facets that can make it good. Music, art style, and replayability are all important when making an arcade package. However, there is only one characteristic that elevates that good game into a great game. When I approach that towering cabinet – or in this case, when
There are two things you’ll notice upon starting NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, the new arcade basketball title from developer Saber Interactive and publisher 2K Sports. First, you’ll see a user agreement that, for some reason, feels like reading Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Second, immediately after agreeing to the game’s terms of service, you’ll notice the
Ubisoft’s first (and late) attempt at the toys-to-life genre is on store shelves right now. Our written review is up now and you can check that out if you click this link or you can check out our video review with yours truly narrating it. We played the Nintendo Switch version which includes exclusive content
I do not like driving. Maybe it’s because I live in a tourist trap and there is a lot of traffic. Maybe it’s because my car has been hit on three different occasions while it was parked. Maybe the act of driving is actually terrible. For whatever reason, I have hardly enjoyed my time behind
It feels like it’s been a decade since the original release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the often-faulty Wii U. Pegged between Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Captain Toad had a soft but deserving impact on the home console selling 250,000 copies in its first month and garnering wide critical acclaim. In
I have long been attracted to rogue-like adventures because they often give me a plentiful level of replay value or have surprising multiplayer elements. Death Road to Canada most certainly fits that mold, but still retains its originality while using a grand list of parody material that pulls from video game lore and super-hero fanaticism.
Next to Nintendo, Rare is responsible for my love of video games. Banjo Kazooie, Battletoads, and Killer Instinct are some of my favorites in their respective genres. Every game I have played from the British developer has this charm that you can’t help but smile at with gameplay that is both creative and fun. These
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
In 2016, Square Enix and Tokyo RPG Factory released I Am Setusna — a love letter to the Japanese role-playing games of the 8 and 16-bit eras. Influenced by some of Squaresoft’s most notable titles like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, the then-new developer brought a substantial, nostalgic journey with its inaugural release. Fast forward just
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
Microsoft is on the verge of a new console release, and no, it’s not a jump into the next generation. Instead what we have here is a super-charged mid-cycle refresh known as the Xbox One X. With its release, the “X” cements itself as the new top-shelf option within the Xbox One family and, for
Throughout the company’s history, WWE has changed its product catering to the audience at the time. From the hard-hitting Attitude Era to the current generation of Superstars, shows like Raw and SmackDown have altered the storylines told and the wrestlers that represent the brand to the viewer’s favor. This change of narrative is exactly what 2K
