Everyone knows that Kojima games are full of confusing jargon, but Death Stranding 2 almost immediately throws an interesting dilemma your way: your birthday. It might sound simple on paper, but—as the prompt cryptically notes—a birthday "can determine a person's experience of DOOMS".Below, I'll explain what your birthday actually does, what DOOMS means, and whether it's worth fudging the numbers a little. If you've played the first Death Stranding, then...

The Lonesome Guild, to be published by indie trailblazer Don’t Nod, is something of a departure from developer Tiny Bull Studios’ previous games: a VR title and a Lovecraftian horror game. The Lonesome Guild is decidedly much more kid-friendly, featuring a cast of anthropomorphic animals adventuring together — along with a ghost, who’s more “Casper the Friendly” than poltergeist.

If there were to ever be a mascot for the videogame industry weirdos (endearing), it'd most certainly be Nier creator Yoko Taro. He's built a brand around being a little eccentric, almost always seen sporting his Emil mask and making games that somehow perfectly straddle being a little horny, devastating, and thought-provoking all at once. Hell, he even did a whole GDC presentation in 2014 titled "Making Weird Games for...

In the gameplay reveal trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, a mysterious voice warned the Traveler to “Stay focused, stay cautious”. More than just a bit of lore, this was meant to communicate that in our game, remaining vigilant is of the utmost importance. That’s because, in addition to careful resource management, you also have to deal with enemies that can merge with each other during battle. This radically alters...
The new Pixar movie Elio maintains the animation studio’s house style. It has elements of buddy comedy, with an 11-year-old human boy befriending a sweet-natured alien; it deals with complicated coming-of-age emotions reminiscent of later-period Pixar movies like Coco, Turning Red, and Luca; it whisks audiences away to a whimsically animated and eye-pleasing new world, in this case a vast spaceship where denizens of far-flung planets keep representatives to govern...
