Until now I couldn't figure out why Hades, a game with 275,000 positive reviews piled up on Steam, didn't grab me. Turns out it's something fairly trivial: I dislike controlling a tiny character in an action game.Absolum takes the "die, retry" format of Hades—its own subgenre of roguelike at this point—and blends it with the DNA of beat-'em-ups, including those generous 2D sprites we know from the '90s. French developers...
The Forsaken Fortress is the first area (arguably a dungeon on a technicality, but not really) you’ll go to in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. For many, it’s a terrible memory. You’re forced to use stealth with no actual weapon in hand, making it a painful process if you don’t know what to do and where to go. Luckily for you, I’ve replayed The Wind Waker to help...
Marathon isn’t going to be the next Concord, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Studio Business Group CEO Hermen Hulst. In a recent “fireside chat” with investors, Hulst admitted that Concord fell short of Sony’s expectations, but added that the publisher had learned some valuable lessons in the wake of the hero shooter’s disastrous August 2024 launch and subsequent cancellation. After praising the success of Helldivers 2, Hulst conceded that the...
The creative team behind IO Interactive’s MindsEye isn’t having a good week. A weird pre-launch period has led to a messy, broken game; the PlayStation store has even issued refunds to some players who decided to bite the bullet and check the game out. Developers at Build a Rocket Boy are “heartbroken that not every player was able to experience the game as we intended,” and have shared a plan...
“Steve’s Lava Chicken” fans, rejoice: A Minecraft Movie will make its global streaming debut on Max starting next week.

The group must learn to survive...
Sony is monitoring the Nintendo Switch 2 as a competitive console, but because of the PlayStation 5’s “differentiated strategy,” they’re not too worried. In a newly published Game & Network Services Segment Fireside Chat video, Hideaki Nishino, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO, addressed concerns that Nintendo’s positive and developing relationships with third-party developers would lead to “tougher competition” from Nintendo in the coming years. Nishino dismissed any concern and...
For every massive success Nintendo releases, there’s an oddball that confuses everyone. In 2017, that was the two-player party game 1-2 Switch, a collection of accessible mini-games. Think Wii Sports, but without the cutesy Miis, or Mario Party without the brand recognition. Players would be prompted to do anything from milking digital cows, to inflating fake balloons as fast as possible. The casual party game sold a few million copies,...

Devil May Cry 5 has officially crossed 10 million units sold since its 2019 release, and according to Capcom, the boost came largely thanks to Netflix’s anime adaptation reigniting interest in the franchise. “Recently, on April 3, 2025, the company released the new Devil May Cry animated series on Netflix,” said Capcom’s press release, “in line with the company’s Single Content Multiple Usage strategy,” which sees the company adapting its...
With the news always full of stories about massive data breaches, whether they're genuinely huge or just a false alarm, it should come as a surprise to learn that the risk of cybercrime affecting gaming has never been greater than at any time before. With billions of PCs, consoles, and phones being used around the world for playing games, and over 200 billion cyberattacks a day, it would seem that...
