Gearbox Publishing One thing I’ve always appreciated about gaming is the iterative nature of the industry. When one game cracks a good idea, it tends to trickle down to others in creative ways. There’s a sense that developers are always in conversation with one another, riffing off of each other’s ideas in search of something that feels truly fresh. That idea is on display all over this year’s Game Developers Conference, but it’s especially apparent in Hyper Light Breaker. The upcoming title from Heart Machine, which…

Rise of the Ronin feels like a natural next step for developer Team Ninja. After two decades spent creating some of the best linear action games in the genre, the studio is stepping outside of its comfort zone with its first crack at an open-world action RPG. Combining a freeform structure with a combat style similar to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and the Nioh series is an enticing prospect, and it's one of the key areas where Rise of the Ronin stands out after playing its opening two hours.Set in late 1800s…

via Third Rail Releasing Individually, it would be fair to say that science fiction, fantasy, and the historical epic are three genres famed for being consistently inconsistent, so there were really only two ways 2008’s Outlander was going to turn out; it would either be a cult favorite sleeper hit, or a disaster of epic proportions. Sadly, it was the latter. There’s a decent and suitably insane high concept in play that ties the story together, with Jim Caviezel’s alien soldier doing his damndest to kill his…

Minecraft Legends is shaping up to be a much more impressive and ambitious title than I gave it credit for when it was announced. What I initially wrote off as an even-more simplified riff on Pikmin with a Minecraft skin is a much more involved real-time strategy experience with fully voice-acted cutscenes, a procedurally generated open-world to explore, and lots of base-building and resource gathering that truly adapts Minecraft’s formula into another storied genre. During a hands-off preview presentation of…

At first, I fumbled with switching between casting spells and dodging attacks from enemy mages. By the end, I juggled between at least four magical abilities while dashing around to survive. It was a hectic experience, but one that perfectly complemented its storytelling. In the new League of Legends action RPG from developer Digital Sun, magic is outlawed in Demacia. Sylas, a former…

The trailer opens with a group of zombie apocalypse survivors finding a playable build of Dead Island 2. “What a weird coincidence,” says one of the characters, commenting on the meta-narrative. “What’s Alexa Game…
