News Psychonauts 2 Will Also Release on PS4 This August
Not an Xbox exclusive

Reaction E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy
Let it go
E3 has been the event around which the video game industry revolves for nearly three decades now, but it’s time to admit it’s a relic that has long passed its sell-by date.

"No separation. No exclusion. No split."

Strive for more
Released just last week, Guilty Gear Strive has topped 300,000 sales across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam. At first glance that may not seem like much, but context is needed: Guilty Gear has always been a very niche property buried within the already niche fighting game genre. It's highly likely that this is the fastest...
News Ambitious RPG ELEX Getting a Sequel on PS5, PS4
Eurojank strikes back
ELEX was one of those RPGs that didn't review particularly well at release, but developed a bit of a cult following in the years after. Praised for its ambition and ideas, it was held back by a poor opening and broken combat. Those that pushed through its brutal introduction had some good things to say, though, and it will be...

Cannon fodder
Talented Japanese developer CyberConnect2 has given its upcoming RPG, Fuga: Melodies of Steel a release date on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The game's a bit of a weird one to explain.

News 4D FPS Lemnis Gate Activates 3rd August on PS5, PS4
Loop the loop
This trailer doesn’t really do tactical first-person shooter Lemnis Gate justice, unfortunately. For those who haven’t been following it, this is basically a turn-based strategy game, where you deploy 25 second versions of yourself, and must outwit your opponents across five rounds. We’re going to defer to the developer’s press...

Mini Review Minute of Islands (PS4) - A Short But Beautiful Island Trip
Ah, fresh air
Minute of Islands is a beautiful adventure game that's maybe less light-hearted than you think. While the outer appearance is wonderful — we love its cartoonish, hand-drawn style — the game quickly establishes a darker, sadder tone for its six-hour runtime. You play as Mo, a young girl who resides underground after a devastating...
