In The Wheel of Time’s very first episode, trollocs attacked the quaint farming village known as the Two Rivers, calling on the might of five tethered teens and a determined Aes Sedai (Rosamund Pike) to keep their humble home from falling in the carnage. Of course, ill-prepared and overwhelmed farmers were no proper army then, and it took Rand (Josha Stradowski), Mat (Barney Harris, now played by Dónal Finn), Perrin...
I was ambivalent about Days Gone when it shambled onto PC in 2021, though my issues were primarily with its clumsy storytelling rather than anything systemic. Exploring the world on Deacon St John’s motorcycle while evading hordes of shambling undead was enjoyable enough, especially when a minor pitstop to pick up some fuel would turn into a cross-country fight for survival.Hence, I was more than a little curious when Sony...

Sifu developer Sloclap has pivoted from martial arts games to sports games with Rematch, a 5v5 competitive football (soccer) game coming this summer. It turns out the skills transfer: Rematch is more Rocket League than FIFA, and it's "something special," writer Daniella Lucas said after visiting Sloclap for a hands-on preview.It'll also be $30, a decision some will probably balk at. Most of today's biggest multiplayer games either started as...
Every now and then a game comes along that seems unassuming at first but totally blows away all of your expectations and reveals itself to be something special. Rematch is one of those games. Yes, it's football, but it's far closer to the likes of Rocket League and Overwatch than it is to FIFA and is all about action and teamplay.Trailers really don't do this game justice (although you can...

And if you're looking for something new to you to play, this is also a good time to turn your attention to GOG (via Kotaku), which is holding a two-week-long Classics Promo with discounts of up to 95% on some really great stuff.GOG has...

Team-Up abilities are thematically appropriate moves in Marvel Rivals, allowing two or more heroes from the Marvel Universe to pair up and kick ass as a group. These unique effects can be extremely powerful, and can even change the tide of battle if you know what you’re doing. Season 2 added several new Team-Ups while removing a few others. NetEase Games will continue to add more Team-Ups as the roster...
