Nioh was one of more underrated titles of 2016 as it was overshadowed by many great titles that year, most notably the other big Playstation exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn. There was little to no rumors that we would end up getting a sequel, but we ended up getting a surprise reveal trailer showcasing Nioh 2. Check out the trailer!
What a way to kick off the Playstation Showcase. As of now, we have gotten two bits of content shown for the highly anticipated Last of Us Part II.

While the official launch of The Crew 2 is still a few weeks away, Ubisoft took the first day of E3 to announce their post-launch support plans. These include a major free update in September that will introduce a whole new vehicle type to the game, plus paid content and monthly new vehicles.
When I sat down for my demo of City of the Shroud, I really didn’t know what to expect. As an isometric RPG, it’s poised to take a position in the ranks of classically-styled RPG games that have begun coming out in the past few years. Beginning with Pillars of Eternity, the genre has been experiencing a renaissance in the past few years; a pretty amazing turn around for a game style that was decla...[Read More]
Being only the tender age of 19, I am too young to feel adequate nostalgia for the 80s and 90s racing games. I can, however, recognize a beautiful game when I see one. Which is exactly what Horizon Chase Turbo by Aquiris Game Studios is. Drawing from games like Out Run, Lotus Turbo Challenge, Top Gear (SNES), and Rush, Horizon Chase Turbo seeks to resurrect and reinvent that classic era of racing....[Read More]
Y2K. For a time in 1999, these three characters could strike dread into the hearts of millions, possibly billions of people. Banking computers would forget their data. Air traffic control would go dark. Electric grids would fail! It was a doomsday scenario that everyone was going to live through, because the one that can never, ever be stopped is the inexorable march of time. Now Ysbryd Games is b...[Read More]
Perhaps my favorite game at PAX this year was My Memory of Us by Juggler Games. Taking place under Nazi occupation, the player takes the controls as a tag team little boy and girl. In spite of possessing the adult themes of the Holocaust, My Memory of Us manages to make this game that is suitable for almost all ages. By replacing actual Nazis with “Bad Robots” they create an adventure puzzler that...[Read More]

When you click to share, you are prompte...[Read More]
Available today for everyone on Steam, Last Encounter is a top-down, twin-stick shooter with heavy weapon customization and a few roguelike influences. I got a chance to go hands-on with the game this year at PAX East, and garner a few impressions ahead of today’s PC launch.
Only on the show floor for two of the four days of PAX East this year, it would have been easy to miss Above, tucked into its corner of the Indie Megabooth. I’m glad I didn’t do that. This whimsical, top-down story of aviation, adventure, and exploration captured my imagination to become a game I’ll be eagerly awaiting in 2019.
