Review by Trent P. Immortals Fenyx Rising is a key new property for Ubisoft. Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the title is a distinct action-adventure game in a style that sits neatly within Ubisoft’s comfort zone, and that’s not an inherently bad thing, though you know what you’re getting right from…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla really impressed us, and it seems like we weren’t the only ones, as Ubisoft has reported record sales for the series with that game. Given how venerable the series is now, that’s quite the feat. It naturally raises questions: what might be next…
Read MoreReview by Matt S.I wish Ubisoft would ditch the open-world nonsense of Assassin’s Creed to focus on what the series does best: historical-based storytelling. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla does a better job of giving us an authentic take on Viking history, lore, and the cultural characterisation than most other games out…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. There’s no place in the world quite like Harlem. It’s a hub of Black and Latnix culture, art, and music, going at least as far back as the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s. It’s a snapshot of the strength and resilience of people of colour in…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. Watch Dogs: Legion is a continuation of the Watch Dogs series in every sense. It started with the personal vendetta of protagonist Aiden Pierce early in the generation in 2014. Then the sequel presented players with a larger DedSec crew, and now Watch Dogs: Legion again…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. As it did with Mafia 3, Hangar 13 trades gameplay for narrative in its remake of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, and the results are glorious. For those who were fans of the 2002 cult classic by Illusion Softworks (no, not that Illusion), Mafia: Definitive…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Vampire’s Fall: Origins looks like one of those cheap Diablo-like knock-off RPGs that you see pop up from time to time. Gothic theme and isometric perspective? Check. Dour aesthetics and a dank world that must be miserable to live in? Yep. Aside from the shift from…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In the grand scheme of things, you’re not going to remember Giraffe and Annika. It doesn’t do anything particularly eye-opening with its design and gameplay, and it’s not a substantial contribution to any particular kind of discourse. What it is, however, is blissfully sweet and good-natured,…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Ghost of Tsushima is Sucker Punch’s latest, and it is a really good open world action game, in just about every way. Combat is fun and fluid, the world is a technical marvel to explore, and the black & white mode is a lot of fun…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. For a fraction of a second, I almost thought that developer, Sucker Punch, was going to surpass my expectations and deliver a game that genuinely understood and respected the samurai mythos. The opening moments of Ghost of Tsushima feature a small group of samurai facing down…
