Nioh is far and away the best Souls-like game to release in 2017, of which there is a rapidly growing number in one sense or another. While it mostly emulates its core game mechanics, it does take an established formula, puts its own spin on it, and does it very well. That said, the game’s latest patch makes an addition that others in the genre may need to take note of going forward. The game now has an option that allows players to choose what class of item drop that the Take button picks up. T

New players often find it hard to stick with the game when they are booted from matches by veteran players who don’t want to play with them. New players will only be able to play from a select group of heroes that Valve’s internal testing has shown to be conducive to helping new players learn the game. This restriction will only last on a player’s first 25 matches, at which point, the game unlocks the full roster. The second addition is probably the more important one as it leverages DotA 2’s be

So it’s no surprise that Bandai Namco would release their Namco Museum game for the Nintendo Switch eShop. With 11 classic games, some popular, some obscure, it’s a trip down memory lane, the question is, is it a trip worth taking? Playability and OptionsIf there’s one thing that Namco Museum is not lacking it is options. Seeing how this version of Museum is on the Switch, it makes sense that Namco includes an exclusive Nintendo game. I think had Bandai Namco included a few games like the aforem

Prior to launching the beta for the game, I had little interest in the game. After loading up a match, selecting one of many characters, and you’re thrust into the thick of it. On my first match, I got absolutely destroyed but in my second match, I got 47 kills and was the best player in the match. The fact that there’s so much to gawk at in the beta alone shows immense promise for LawBreakers. If you’re looking for a satisfying new shooter to get hooked on, LawBreakers is for you.

Square Enix has been adding features to Final Fantasy XV since its release, and they seem to have no intention of stopping. Update 1.13 was released today and it adds new content to the already highly praised game. New features include new quests added to Meldacio Hunter HQ, a new ally cooperation system called “Rush Link” and the addition of Magitek Armor. Save data from this version cannot be used with save data from an old version. If you overwrite save data from the old version with save dat

Amazon France published a listing for a new version of Battlefield 1 that promises a ‘Complete’ experience. Listed as ‘Battlefield 1 Revolution’ Edition, the game’s box art details that the edition includes the Premium Pass and other yet to be detailed items. The listing detailed an August 22nd release on the Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Prior to Battlefield 1’s release, a listing for the Premium Pass revealed that we would be seeing a total of four expansions for the game. So far, one expansion has r

The latest title aims to make the latest Zombie Mode the scariest one yet. Recently, Sledgehammer and Activision discussed what’s coming with Call of Duty: WWII, including the zombie mode. They assured that it will be the best work they’ve done on a zombie mode to date. “I think this is, without a doubt, the scariest version of Zombies that you will have ever seen,” Dayton said. So you hear them getting scared, you’re scared, your friends get scared.

Ark: Survival Evolved has been in Early Access for quite a while now. It’s was set to release next week, August 8, but Studio Wildcard has stated that it will now be delayed. On their website, Studio Wildcard shared the news of the pushback to August 29. Lastly, Wildcard has promised patches to fix performance issues and griefing currently in the game between now and full release. We wanted to address this sooner but did not want to make any statements until we were completely sure of what was g

Finished the storyline of Grand Theft Auto 5? That’s right, GTA Space is now a thing thanks to a team of modders. Features of this mod include the ability to space walk, variable gravity, and the ability to repair vehicles in space. Will GTA Space make serious use of Grand Theft Auto 5’s impressive engine and modding capabilities? With no official landing time, the team has stated that mod will be released “when we think the mod is ready.”

With a new month upon us, we can look forward to the release of a bunch of games across all platforms. There are plenty of multiplatform releases and a handful of exclusive releases coming in August. PlayStation 4 owners are getting a number of exclusives, including Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and Hellblade Senua’s sacrifice. Nintendo Switch owners can look forward to the Mario + Rabbids game and Xbox One owners will be able to grab Tacoma. On the following page are PS4 exclusives, followed by Ni

If you’ve pre-ordered your copy of Bungie’s epic sci-fi follow-up to Destiny, by that I mean Destiny 2, and you feel that your current PS4 controller, with its worn thumbsticks, is just not going to cut it, good news, you can buy another one. According to the European PlayStation Blog, you can get a “new” PS4 controller, complete with nifty Destiny 2 decals on both grips and the name “Destiny 2” across the touch pad. The new controller will accompany new Destiny 2 PS4 Pro/PS4 bundles that are se

Despite the Nintendo 2DS XL recently launching, Nintendo has announced a regular 2DS bundle arriving at the end of August. The 2DS XL, which we reviewed here, brings the affordability of the flat 2DS into the clamshell model of the rest of the 3DS family. Despite fans most likely wanting this color pallet on the New 2DS XL, the price tag here is hard to argue against. Along with this, BusinessWire reported this announcement along with announcements of other Nintendo titles launching on the 3DS f

On August 1, 2017, all existing Destiny accounts will automatically undergo an Account Migration process to Destiny 2. Only Applies to Existing Data: Account and Character Migration will apply to all existing accounts on August 1, 2017. Character Data in Destiny 2: To see their migrated data represented in Destiny 2, players will need to ensure that they use the same PSN or Xbox credentials when logging into Destiny 2.

It was confirmed that Zazie Beets would be taking the role of Domino in the upcoming Deadpool movie back in March and today, we got a look at Domino. Ryan Reynolds originally revealed Beets would be taking the role of Domino in Deadpool 2 via Twitter, so it was only fitting for him to reveal her as Domino on Twitter again. As far as other news goes, we got a small teaser for Deadpool 2 ahead of Logan which showed our favorite merc with a mouth spoofing Superman while the iconic John William’s sc

Ninja Theory’s intriguing psychosis-driven action game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is almost upon us, and to get ready, the developers have released what they are calling the game’s “Official Trailer,” giving us a small taste of the game to come. It was also announced that the game would be getting a few PS4 Pro enhancements. Here’s the trailer:PS4 Pro owners will have the option to choose between playing the game at an upcaled resolution or a 60 FPS framerate. PC owners will have the more adv

If Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy ever does cease being a PS4 exclusive, no one should be surprised. The latest hint comes from a YouTube video from Vicarious Visions Artist, Kara Zisa which has since been taken down. The video contained footage of the game with Xbox UI prompts. Here’s a screenshot from the video:It seems very unlikely that the game will stay a PS4 exclusive at this point, but the question becomes when will Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy make its way to other platforms. For no

The Nintendo Switch will be getting yet another puzzle platformer in the form of Lumo, a small indie game from 2016 that originally released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The game was originally described as “the rebirth of a genre,” as it aimed to emulate classic isometric adventure games for modern audiences. The game was made by a single developer, Garth Noyce, who tweeted out that a Nintendo Switch port was on the way, but couldn’t yet project a date. Here’s an official description of the game c

By now, it should come as no surprise that the Chinese would create their own version of a popular phenomenon. This time, some gameplay has surfaced from ChinaJoy, essentially the Chinese version of E3, of a game called Sinner, and if you are a fan of the Souls genre, be prepared for a little deja vu. Fortunately, Sinner appears to be a much more sluggish and less satisfying version of Dark Souls than anything else, so from a competitive standpoint, there’s not much to fear. Since China doesn’t

As it turns out, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered did indeed release this past week alongside the Xbox One version despite previous feedback of poor optimization. And wouldn’t you know it, the standalone version appears to suffer from those same issues. In the two days that the standalone has been for sale, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered currently sits at a paltry 36% positive Steam user rating, resulting in the designation of “Mostly Negative.” Here are a few snippets of the Ste

With the news that Dragon Quest XI is coming West, Square Enix has released some footage of the game running on a PS Vita courtesy of the PlayStation 4 Remote Play feature. The footage comes from the Japanese PlayStation Blog, so suffice it to say; the trailer is entirely in Japanese. It’s quite a contrast to how the game runs on the Nintendo 3DS, though to be fair that’s an entirely different engine running the same game directly on the hardware itself, where as the Remote Play feature is simpl
