The Evil Within 2 opens up its environments and turns up the horror
Bethesda’s booth was quiet when I entered on the last day of Gamescom. An odd sense of deja vu washed over me, but I brushed it off as I walked passed the bar and into a dark room, filled with monitors and a few anxious people waiting to get their hands on The Evil Within 2.
I sat down, picked...
Sonic Forces blasts off with a new gameplay mode and we played it
Sonic Mania is barely out the door and we've already had a chance to play the next big game in the series - Sonic Forces. We sprinted over to Sega's booth at Gamescom 2017, and played the latest demo of the game behind closed doors.
Forces, developed by the same team that worked on the very successful Sonic Colors and...
Moons of Madness is about your inner demons, not tentacle monsters
When I was a kid, I never wanted to be an astronaut. I loved space, I loved learning about the different planets, and I loved imagining what kind of life forms can evolve on each one of them. But I never wanted to go up there. Space may be fascinating, but it’s also utterly terrifying.
Maybe that's why I absolutely...
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle totally works as a strategy game
When the first rumors and leaks of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle appeared around the web, many Mario fans feared the worst. Our concerns started to dissipate after the game was officially revealed at E3 earlier this year, but they didn't quite went away.
Now, after playing the game at Gamescom, I can assure you there's nothing to worry about....
Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare co-op mode, release date
Halo 2: Awakening the Nightmare, the game's first story DLC, will be released on September 26. Microsoft revealed the date during Gamescom, where the game was on show.
The expansion will let you play as the bad guys, The Banished, in a whole new story. In it, the Banished will face the Flood as they protect their Ark. The Flood...
We answer the Call of Cthulhu at Gamescom 2017
Call of Cthulhu captures the spirit of Choasium's pen-and-paper RPG, and brings it to your PC and consoles. At least that was the impression I walked away with after seeing the game in action at Gamescom 2017.
The live demo I saw behind closed doors took place during the second chapter of the game. Protagonist Edward Pierce just arrived at Darkwater Island,...
Gwent Thronebreaker: Everything we know so far
CD Projekt RED, the good folks who brought us The Witcher, had a couple of Gwent-related news to announce at Gamescom 2017.
First we heard about the new Gwent Masters eSports tournaments, but that's not the announcement I want to talk about. The second, and most intriguing in my opinion, was Gwent Thronebreaker - the game's new single-player campaign.
In Gwent Thronebreaker...
Cuphead is the classic side-scroller I never knew I was missing
I'm not a big fan of classic platformers. I like modern games with rich stories, expensive worlds, and deep gameplay. But there's something about Cuphead that just clicks.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is. It could be the charming 1930s animation style, the mascot-like main character or the simple yet grueling gameplay. Whatever it is, it made Cuphead...
Need for Speed Payback took us for a ride in Gamescom 2017
If you watched EA's Gamescom 2017 presentation, you probably saw the new BMV M5 takes center stage. Well, after the presentation was over I got the chance to get behind the wheel.
Not behind the wheel of the actual BMV M5, mind you. I'm talking about the digital version in Need for Speed Payback. And by wheel I'm talking about...
