first-person shooter

It’s safe to say retro shooters aren’t quite done yet. Whilst these games are traditionally fast-paced, Extinction Rifts attempts to take it further. Coming from QuByte with a budget price tag, this short experience doesn’t quite live up to the promise. Despite a short list of levels, the pull of […]

After DOOM Eternal, I wasn’t really sure where id software’s storied franchise would go. I did not expect it to go back in time. In many ways, it’s a mild regression from DOOM Eternal‘s frantic hard counters and verticality. With an emphasis of standing your ground, DOOM: The Dark Ages […]

Have rhythm games left the stage or have they just transitioned into first-person shooters? I’ve seen a few now where shooting on the beat has been their gimmick but Robobeat is the first one I’ve had to a review. Coming from the mind of Simon Fredholm, this effort takes a […]

Attempts to make World War I’s trench warfare compelling have been made before but I’ve never really seen them as great successes. At best, they recreated the meat grinder nature of an attritional conflict and, at worst, they become a lesson in frustration. Taking a more vertical approach with less […]
