‘Baby Steps’ Is As Frustrating And Hilarious As You’d Expect
I spent most of my first hour of Baby Steps with my face planted in the ground. It’s not what I thought my first hour would be. After all, this is Bennett Foddy’s (the man behind other maddening games like the crossover hit QWOP and 2017’s Getting Over It) first “open world” game. Surely the […]
The Next Yakuza Remake Could Finally Fix the Series’ Most Frustrating Masterpiece
Sega A lot of people are, understandably, feeling a bit fatigued by the veritable tsunami of , the studio’s official website temporarily had a category for Yakuza Kiwami 3, before it was promptly taken down.

The ‘Assassin’s Creed IV’ Remake Is Making Some Divisive Changes
Ubisoft It’s safe to say that the yet-to-be-announced remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is real. From details about the project’s ongoing development, the game’s main voice actor referencing its imminent reveal, and even a collectibles manufacturer admitting that “something is going on” with the game’s protagonist, it’s beyond me as to why Ubisoft […]
‘The Last Of Us Season 2’s Emmy Snub Is Something We Should Have Expected
At the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards, there were quite a few critical darlings that didn’t fare nearly as well as they had in previous years. HBO’s The Last of Us, the most celebrated video game adaptation of the last half-decade, falls into this category big time. While the first season earned 24 nominations and 8 […]
PS Plus Just Added One Of The Best Resident Evil-Inspired Games
SFB Games When it comes to horror games, it’s impossible to escape the legacy of Resident Evil. The series the original game spawned of course continues to be one of the most popular horror series in gaming, but its influence is felt far beyond that. In recent years, horror developers have been increasingly enamored with […]
‘Cronos’ Might Be the Closest We Get to a New ‘Dead Space’
As much as I love modern Resident Evil games, both the remakes and entries like Village, I do feel like the series has lost a bit of its original vision. Specifically, what I mean is that riveting feeling of tension created by the survival part of survival horror, scrounging for every scrap of ammo, every […]
‘Crimson Desert’ Is an Ambitious, Messy, and Tantalizing Open World Game
Pearl Abyss Covering games for over 15 years, I’ve played a lot of open world games, some of which I wanted to, and many of which I didn’t. It’s fair to say I’m a bit jaded by the idea of open world games, largely because of how the genre has started to groan under the […]
‘Indiana Jones’ Devs Are Ready To Return To Their Fascist-Slaying Roots
Machine Games, the Sweden-based developers who delivered one of the best games last year, are ready to return to the series that put them on the map. And while that’s a bummer for folks who hoped an Indiana Jones sequel would be in order shortly after the recent expansion, it also bodes well for the […]
After ‘Metal Gear Solid Delta’, The Series’ Most Underrated Gem Is A Must-Try
Konami The team behind Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater had one goal in mind when developing the recent remake of the series’ most beloved game. “The biggest opportunity here was reaching a new audience,” producer Noriaki Okamura told Inverse last month. In that way, Konami succeeded: the faithful-to-a-fault remake is the same generational game […]
