Venturing off the path of the main quest in Cyberpunk can feel a little…perhaps ludonarrative dissonant? Sure, V’s got a lot on their plate, but there’s a whole city out there filled with quests and objectives. Not all are made equally though.

If you find yourself in dire need to play a PlatinumGames uh, game on your Nintendo Switch without all the baggage of Bayonetta 3’s messy voice-acting controversy muddling your enjoyment of a rollicking kick-ass character action game with a powerful and fashionable leading lady, you can rest assured in knowing that …

Watching the trailer for Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake, I’m reminded that not only do I hate protagonist James Sunderland and want him to die, but I would also encourage Resident Evil franchise’s Ethan Winters to stick his blond head in the oven as soon as possible, like Sylvia Plath if she were an untalented man in a…

Reviews for Warner Bros. first Batman game since 2015’s Arkham Knight dropped today, and they are not reassuring.

PC gaming is always one or two steps ahead. Even in the early years of a new console generation, the big wheezing towers rapidly leap ahead in terms of tech, and game performance.

It’s a bit cliched, but a good rule of thumb is: if a game makes you forget what time it is and you end up staying up far past your usual bedtime, it’s likely something special.

Most builds in Cyberpunk aim for very familiar concepts: stealthy hackers, invincible punching machines, frighteningly accurate snipers, deadly fast katana wielding samurais, and many more. Those are all fun ways to play for sure, but if you want something that shows off smart choices in skill trees while still…

Warner Bros. Montreal revealed the full recommended PC specs for Gotham Knights, and they are frightening.
