We’re taking the hobbits to Isengard — My return to Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

I absolutely loved Shadow of War, at least until I hit the microtransaction-laden Act 4 slog to try to eke out the “true ending”. In my review I suggested people simply hit YouTube to watch the video of that ending, sparing themselves the aggravation. Fast forward from October 2017 to

Another impossible port — Wolfenstein II: The New Order on Nintendo Switch

If, a year ago, you told me that Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus would end up on Nintendo’s flagship console, I’d have had to laugh. Rather than retread all the ways that this game improves on its predecessor (and boy howdy does it — our editor Travis Northup gave

One hundred punch man — Punch Club Switch impressions

If you’re in the market for a difficult but rewarding boxing simulator on the Switch, tinyBuild has you covered with Punch Club. While slightly unfair at times, it’s still an engrossing simulation game that works very well on the Nintendo hybrid. The Switch version is nearly identical to

Into the abyss of Davey Jone’s locker — Sea of Thieves beta impressions

There are two types of bones in the Sea of Thieves beta: skeleton bones, and bare-bones content. Granted, this is a beta, but the structure (or skeleton, if you will) of the swashbuckling open world is pretty one-note. Developer Rare is banking on player interaction and agency to build a

Hands on with the Xbox One X 4K update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

An origin story: Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 1: Awake impressions

Chloe Price stands on the railroad tracks, peacefully waiting for the bright lights and thunderous rumble that mean a train is approaching. She stares it down, lit cigarette in hand, and at the last possible second she casually hops out of its way. It’s the middle of the night

X-Com 2: War of the Chosen review-in-progress

After 2K and Firaxis shipped the Shen’s Last Gift expansion in June of 2016, I thought we were done with XCOM 2. At E3 2017 I was shocked to see a new expansion, but even more blown away by the sheer volume of what the team had in store
