As I crouched in the back of the burned-out car, beset on all sides by ravenous mutant wolves, and watching the timer on my gas mask steadily tick down to asphyxiation, I couldn’t help but think, “This is actually a lot like camping.”

There’s a nifty throwaway feature in Capcom’s brand-new remake of the survival-horror classic Resident Evil 2. At any point throughout the campaign, you can go to the settings menu and toggle to the original game’s audio. Not the exact same audio, of course—there’s no way to make the monsters sound like they did in…

In the world of Kingdom Hearts, Mickey Mouse is a being of incredible power. Not only is his proper title “King Mickey,” but he also serves as a cross between divine prophet and deus ex machina, appearing unexpectedly at times of great peril—often clad in ominous black robes or hyper-stylized armor—to cut down waves…

In remaking Resident Evil 2, Capcom could’ve done so much more than what it did with the original back in 1998. It could’ve given concessions to new players who wanted to fight off hundreds of undead monsters without worrying too much about managing ammo or healing herbs. It could’ve introduced new retcons to…

Here’s a conundrum: What do you do if you’re a celebrated game developer in love with the vibrant, independent state of the modern indie games movement, but who just can’t seem to find a way to tap into its freewheeling, play-focused vibe? If you’re Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes co-director Suda51, the answer…
2018 was a great year for games, dominated by a couple of huge console releases and a bunch of brash, finely tuned indie efforts. But, perhaps looking to avoid squaring up alongside Red Dead Redemption, a ton of games have scampered to the relative safety of this winter, leading to a bumper crop of major Japanese…

I cannot say that I am entirely sold on Gris, the extremely art-directed game from the Spanish studio Nomada. Credit must be given for the boldness with which it stakes out its visual space, full of fluttering, seemingly hand-drawn animations and big washes of watercolor paint, all arrayed into a surprisingly large…
Although it has merits as a serious fighting game, the Super Smash Bros. series is at its best when it’s a fun delivery system for video game nostalgia. Players choose from a bunch of different characters that are primarily drawn from Nintendo games and fight each other on a bunch of different stages that are…

This week, EA released “The Last Tiger,” the final mission for Battlefield V’s single-player campaign. Unlike the rest of the game, which has you fighting Nazis from various perspectives throughout World War II, “The Last Tiger” actually puts you in the jackboots of a German tank commander as he tries to defend…
Earlier this week, our writers submitted for reader consideration (and even, occasionally, approval) their collection of some of our favorite games of the year, in no particular order, and grouped around a single idea: What did we like this year, and why? As has become one of our favorite annual traditions here in the…
