FromSoftware is easily one of the most influential developers of recent memory, and a lot of that legendary status can largely be attributed to its work on the Souls series. The latest iteration of that recognizable formula, Elden Ring has quickly gone on to become one of the best games of recent memory - and fans have been waiting with bated breath for the upcoming Shadow of the Edtree expansion.

Composer Austin Wintory and Director/Actor Troy Baker unpack the incredibly elaborate five-year process of writing, producing, and directing the interactive musical roleplaying game Stray Gods. This talk details the process of discovering the mechanics for interactive songs, the long road to writing and testing the songs, and the equally long road in casting, directing, and producing the songs.

When Fallout 4 released in 2015, it received generally positive reviews from critics, but also sparked a discussion online picking apart the game. Many felt it was a good game, but a bad Fallout game. However, overtime, it seems reception to the game has warmed up. And - with the Next Gen patch recently releasing on April 25, 2024, the question is: Is Fallout 4 Worth Playing in 2024?

Stardew Valley is not only the best farming game I’ve played, it is one of my favorite games of all time. That myself and others keep returning to this eight-year old gem each time it gets even the smallest update speaks to how it’s truly a masterpiece in the genre it both reinvigorated and has come to define. It is chock-full of bizarre and memorable characters, moments, and conversations, not to mention a never-ending to-do list that fuels the completionist in me. It’s also an intensely strategic adventure, using its cozy farming activities and cute pixel art to make the deeply engaging time management challenge underneath it all effortlessly inviting. Stardew Valley has earned a spot on your platform of choice as a modern classic, standing proudly alongside gaming’s all-time greats. I’ve played countless hours already and will surely play countless more, because every time I boot it up, it feels like coming home.

In this video, we're gonna be taking a look at Hades 2 that just went on Early Access yesterday on Steam. And in this video, I wanna go over what my impressions are, having played it, what i like and don't like about it, how it compares to the first game and talk about whether it's worth buying in early access or waiting for the full game release.

Less than two years since its announcement at The Game Awards 2022, Hades 2 is now available for PC via Steam Early Access and the Epic Games Store. It's not the full game - there are still plenty of features and story content inbound - but Supergiant Games has already delivered an impressive slate right out of the gate.

Ever since Rise of the Ronin launched, many people have been drawing comparisons to Ghost of Tsushima due to the open world nature of the two games and similarities in setting. When Ghost of Tsushima launched, it was met with universal acclaim, and a completely baffled gaming community gushing over the graphical limitations that Sucker Punch seemed to completely demolish. In contrast, Rise of the Ronin has launched with mixed criticism from the community, with many calling it a “downgraded Ghost of Tsushima”. With Ghost of Tsushima launching on PC in just over a week, we’re going to cover why that is not the case, and how Rise of Ronin is actually a better contender than you think against the 2020 Game of the Year nomination.

Fallout 76 has come a long way since 2018, transforming into something that’s much closer to the original “Fallout with Friends” pitch that was so enticing about it. The combat, exploration, and RPG systems all feel so good that it’s easy to lose dozens of hours running around the massive map getting lost in over-the-top action. That said, this wasteland still has plenty of room to grow, as its added Expeditions are less interesting than I’d hoped for, the endgame is still a bit thin, and the inventory system seems designed to infuriate – or worse, twist your arm into paying for a real-money subscription to ease the pain. Even still, I never thought I’d return to Appalachia after my initially harrowing experience with it, but Bethesda has really put in the wrench time on this one, and I’m so glad I gave it another shot.

In this video, we are going to be taking a look at Soulmask, a new upcoming Survival Sandbox game with a huge focus on tribal survival, featuring an intricate “tribe” systems that separates the game from other titles in the same genre. In Soulmask you will control members of a tribe, catering to each of their needs, jumping between them as necessary, adding variety and depth to a familiar formula.
