There’s then a whisper that leads into a song. “Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me,” the raspy voice says as the trailer continues before the beat picks up. The song itself is a metaphor for a number of things in the trailer, not least of which is Revenant hims
This isn’t the game’s first Season 4 teaser — who could forget Forge’s untimely death or Revenant’s role in a brutal bloodbath ? — but it’s players’ first look at what they can expect when they drop into Worlds Edge after the season beg
A large focus on teamwork and coordination makes Apex Legends a great game for new players or experienced players of this genre alike. Even the worst of players can use the phenomenal ping system to help out the rest of their squad. Plus, this game is completely f
This would usually result in disaster in the hands of a novice developer, but Bioware is anything but a novice developer. They turned the exploration heavy original and tweaked it into a dramatic thriller, filled with some of the best character and world-building the video game industry has ever seen. Reworked combat helps make ME 2 feel more visceral than the original Mass Effect . This game is a must-p
This year has been a boon for the medium, and frankly, it’s hard to pick just five games that I fell in love with (sorry, Pokemon !) But from top-notch fighters to tripped-out techno-thrillers, from RPG masterpieces to ornate remakes, one game edges everything out. __ Resident Evil 2 is not just a stellar remake, it’s a master-class in game design – a brilliant case of how to do literally everything right, then somehow go beyond that. It’s a sumptuous visual feast held together by tense, responsive gameplay that understands how to maintain what makes classic survival horror while being accessible to contemporary audiences. It’s a game literally anyone can enjoy – unless you’re a bit squeamish – and the best entry of the franchise to d
If someone told you that they spent the last few days questing to obtain the Thong of Virtue, you would likely call them insane. Yet that is what Deathspank is all about. This parody of typical aRPG titles sets players on an epic quest to find the Artifact, a bacon-looking heirloom with unimaginable po
Players who want to maximize Revenant to his full potential should pay attention to how this update reworks the rest of his sworn enemies. As an ability-canceler, Revenant needs to learn exactly how he can incapacitate his opponents in order to get the upper hand. And as Revenant, getting the upper hand almost always means jumping the gun on them – but how can players make this hap
It’s not unusual for Respawn and Electronic Arts to put subtle teasers into their trailers. A recent tweet from the official Apex Legends Twitter account showed correspondence that alluded to the fact that Caustic was becoming soft. One hypothesis is that this sets up a Caustic Town Takeover on Worlds Edge this season, similar to past takeovers for Wraith, Octane and Mir
Just after the trailer introduces the totem, Revenant shoots some kind of grenade out of his arm. From the gameplay video alone, it’s hard to tell how, exactly, this will work. However, it appears his grenade tactical ability may have some kind of arc or stun charge, which manifests as the orange glowing ball in the image be
Crypto is the newest addition to the champion roster on Apex Legends Broken Moon Legends . His drone is great for gathering intel, and he can even leave it in the sky to track enemy teams while he is fighting. The EMP that he can offer currently knocks out half of any enemy shields in the area of eff
Another great option for INTJs is Caustic the poison expert. Rather than manipulating enemies into a firefight, Caustic is all about setting poisonous traps for them. Getting your enemy to fall into your poisonous trap can be exhilarating for the tactical INTJ, especially when it wins you the bat
The trailer also shows off Revenant’s totem, once again reflecting this Jekyll-and-Hyde theme that shows players in two different physical states. Players who go near it morph into shadow versions of themselves. This is similar to what players saw during Halloween’s Fright or Flight event, which may have secretly been a test event for the shadow abil
Disco Elysium is a game where you can be a godawful human being or a superstar cop. I don’t think I’ve had more fun this year with a game than I did stumbling around as my drunken detective, wearing a kimono and waxing poetic about liquor, karaoke, and the pointlessness of life. It’s not for everyone, but if you love world-building and playing as self-loathing scumbags, then you should be playing Disco Elysium until you’re face down on the fl
How could it be anything other than Slay The Spire (I say, knowing full well I almost put Tetris 99 in this spot)? After initial frustration, Slay The Spire’s various baddies are like old friends now – they’re familiar, I’ve learned their rhythms. The cards and relics aren’t mysteries to me anymore. Its delightful weirdness is old hat. And yet I find myself returning to it time and time again because it’s just so clever, and it makes me feel clever – when I pay attention to it, when I’m not zoning out and just enjoying the jour
