In a time where social interaction has been significantly reduced where people are discovering just how useful technology can be to meet that need, we need all of the cooperative games we can get. I’ve always been a bigger fan of cooperative gaming experiences over ones revolving around competition; I’m more into PVE than PVP. I also find that games centered around PVE, especially ones that lack a...[Read More]
The popularity of games centered around overcoming extreme difficulty has surged tremendously in the last decade in the wake of the extremely well-received From Software’s Dark Souls, and later titles Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice to the point that other games that strive for this challenging, combat driven experience are often called “souls-like” or “soulsborne” games. One of the thing...[Read More]
Who here remembers hearing about The Blackout Club late last year? The cooperative game, developed by Question, that looks like Stranger Things meets survival horror. Releasing in early access back in October, console gamers can thankfully get their hands on it on July 30th.
When thinking of Devolver Digital, that outlandish publisher that has shown just how graphic E3 can get, what games come to mind? Some of the games in their impressive library include hits like Serious Sam, Hotline Miami, Shadow Warrior, Katana Zero, The Talos Principle, and Genital Jousting just to highlight a few. At PAX East 2019, Devolver Digital granted us a hands-on preview with My Friend P...[Read More]
At PAX East 2019, we had the opportunity to get hands-on with a relatively unknown indie game, Darksburg. Darksburg is currently in development by Shiro Games and is inspired by games such as Diablo, Left 4 Dead, and various M.O.B.As. Although we only had a short time with the playable demo, the game left us eager to play more. With only a short 30-minute demo to grasp the basics of the game, we ...[Read More]
Making its debut announcement at PAX South this year at the tinyBuild booth was a new game about the trials and tribulations of getting packages to their destinations. Totally Reliable Delivery Service is a ragdoll physics simulation for up to four players and plays like a party game multiplayer version of Crazy Taxi only with packages instead of people.
Initially, I wasn’t super impressed with Dragon’s Crown Pro, which is an upgrade to a PSVita/PS3 beat-em-up RPG adventure featuring hand drawn animation by Vanillaware. What initially felt like a visual and audio upgrade for a game that would be easy to sink some time into, but would lack the energy I really wanted, transformed after sitting down for some couch co-op play. What resulted was a floo...[Read More]
A bright future is ahead for the Monster Hunter franchise. Finally escaping the handheld limitations, Monster Hunter World not only feels better to play with the slew of modern controls, but a lot of the pointlessly complicated systems have been simplified and automated to help ease players into this challenging, but rewarding game. There are a few growing pains that will hopefully be patched out,...[Read More]
Did our list of ten games for Valentine’s Day leave you cold? Still looking for something else to play together for the evening? Then perhaps the just released Hacktag will be the co-op couples game of choice tonight.
While there was a lot of predictability to the EA event, there were a few genuine surprises. One of which is a project by the same mind behind Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Josef Fares. A Way Out looks to take the co-operative mechanics learned from his prior project and adapted to a much larger experience. A Way Out actually can only be played with two players, either through split-screen or via ...[Read More]
