I really can’t get enough ofPersona 4 Arena.It was my favorite gamethat I was fortunate enough to check out at E3 this year, and it’s the game I’m looking forward to more than anything else this year. I have no idea whatexactlyit is about this game, but I need it badly. Anyway, enough about me. Let’s move onto those screenshots and character art Atlus sent our way! This time around, we have character art of both Yu Narukami and Naoto Shirogane along with their personas....

Coming to PC and consoles in 2018 I’m admittedly late on covering this one but it’s much too special to pass up for that reason alone.Trüberbrookis a sci-fi mystery adventure game set in 1960s Germany that owes inspiration toThe X-FilesandTwin Peaks. Best of all, it uses digitized models to achieve a stunning handmade aesthetic. I caught a glimpse over the long, food-filled holiday weekend and knew I’d have to mention the game come Monday....

Ultrabugs will still release The indie game scene blew up during the seventh generation. Whereas AAA developers were stagnating and doubling down on games being made by committee, creators like Polytron and Subset Games were putting out beautiful niche titles that provided a more unique experience than what was previously available. One of the pioneers of the indie revolution was the two-man team at Vlambeer. Starting with their platformer-shooterSuper Crate Box, the duo of Rami Ismail and Jan Willem Nijman gained the attention of publisher Devolver Digital, who approached the team to make a small-scale game set in theSerious Samuniverse to promote the then-upcomingSerious Sam 3release....

‘It should have already’ is a choice The strategy that Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida has taken withFinal Fantasy XVIhas been refreshing, to say the least. “We’ll show you more when it’s ready to show” is a stark contrast to Nomura’s style, and frankly, Square Enix’s entire vibe in recent years. Showing us games 5-10 years before they launch is a staple, spawning numerous memes and pre-show jokes anytime the publisher is announcing anything on stream....

Whether you want something strategy based to ponder over, to work with friends to solve a board-based issue, or to go head-to-head with family, there’s a board game out there for everybody to get sucked into....

TheVampire SurvivorsDLC,Operation Guns, lives up to its name with a slew of guns and other weapons. While each of them is fantastic for slaying undead and aliens alike, obtaining the weapon evolutions is your winning ticket for completing levels and tasks. To do so, players will need to make use of the new Weapon Power-up items in addition to the usual combos. Here’s how to evolve each weapon. How to upgrade each weapon in Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns After getting the initial weapon upgrade, I haven’t seen a need for the Weapon Power-up on subsequent runs in terms of being a necessary ingredient....

Music to my ears We know very little about FromSoftware’sElden Ringat this point. We knowA Song of Ice and Fireauthor George R.R. Martin is collaborating on the story in some way, and we know that Hidetaka Miyazaki is directing it. Otherwise, FromSoftware has mostly kept us in the dark. However, we now know thatElden Ringwill sound familiar. Composer Yuka Kitamura confirmed via Twitter that she’s creating the score forElden Ring. Kitamura is a FromSoftware favorite, as she handled the music inDark Souls 2and3,Bloodborne, andSekiro: Shadows Die Twice....

Y’all did it As much as fans have pored overDarkSoulsand will continue to do so for years to come, it feels like the series’ mysteries may never be fully solved — that no matter how hard we collectively search, there will always be more to uncover, more to decipher. These worlds feel endless. It’s interesting, then, to hear game director Hidetaka Miyazaki say in an interview withEdgethat “there aren’t any undiscovered items, or specific bits of gameplay” remaining inDark Souls....

You’d be forgiven for playing through the entirety ofSelaco’s10-to-12 hour campaign and being surprised to learn that the game was not only incomplete, but only a portion of its intended length. The first episode ofSelacolaunched recently into Steam early access, but there’s more than one reason to avoid judging this shooter by its box art. Bringing mindfulness to mayhem Lately, I’ve been sort of half-assedly practicing that “dopamine detox” thing you see young adults try: setting screen time limits on your phone, disabling certain apps, or even just reading a book before bed instead of scrolling on my phone....
