WWE 2K23 Review: Wrestling For The Ages

Ali Hasan March 26, 2023

The WWE 2K franchise hasn’t had the easiest time on the market. What was once one of the most beloved video game series of all time, became a laughing stock after a string of rather unimpressive releases. The long-running series finally came to a head with WWE 2K21. The game was not only panned by both fans and critics but it was near unplayable on launch. Following its disastrous release, the series took a break from its yearly schedule for the first time in over 18 years as the team decided to shift focus to create a better product for their next outing. After almost two years since the last release, WWE 2K22 finally delivered on its promise to provide an improved gaming experience. And now, with the recent release of WWE 2K23, the franchise continues to build on the strong foundation laid down by its predecessor. This latest installment

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Review: Souls-lite

Ali Hasan March 22, 2023

The Souls genre, which garnered its notoriety through a series of excellent games from FromSoftware, has reached new heights of popularity in recent times. Once considered a niche genre, it has now become a phenomenon that almost every gamer has explored at least once. Several studios have attempted to replicate the successful formula to create experiences that rival the original studio’s achievements. While some have succeeded, others have fallen short. Team Ninja, known for creating challenging games like Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, has now released Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, its latest spin on the soulslike genre. The question is, does it build upon previous attempts or does it fall short in comparison? Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty stands out from the typical Souls-like games with Team Ninja’s creative decisions that not only differentiate this game from its predecessors but also add depth and complexity to the overused and often times exhausted

Atomic Heart Review: Mechanical Wonder

Ali Hasan March 19, 2023

It has been quite some time since Atomic Heart, a first-person action shooter game from developer Mundfish was first revealed. What was initially shown to be an almost indie-like title from a small yet determined team quickly picked up steam and developed into what we have today From its very clear inspirations across a number of games and the extremely stylistic nature of its world, it isn’t hard to see why this game has been on the radar for many but does it actually manage to live up to what it had promised, and more importantly does it hold a torch to the games it is so clearly inspired by? The derivate nature of Atomic Heart meant that it was always going to be held up to strict scrutiny, at least by me, and while it excels in some aspects it does falter in others. However, the good news is

Wild Hearts Review: Inherited Magnificence

Ali Hasan March 13, 2023

Monster Hunter has long maintained itself as the king of the Kaiju hunting genre. The series has established and broken conventions for the genre, creating a very specific niche in its first few years and then with its latest two entries, Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise successfully bringing it to the mainstream. Many games have tried to mimic the grandiose nature of hunting monsters but nothing has come even close to replicating what Capcom has achieved over the last two decades, until now. Wild Hearts is Dynasty Warrior’s developer Omega Force’s take on the beloved Monster Hunter formula. Wild Hearts takes the conventions and systems of Monster Hunter and builds upon them in an attempt to set it itself apart from what came before. Wild Hearts doesn’t shy away from taking that already great formula and running with it, while it does make a few fundamental changes to

Final Fantasy XVI: Everything We Know So Far

Ali Hasan March 5, 2023

Final Fantasy has long stood the test of time managing to stay relevant by reinventing itself over and over again over the course of its nearly four-decade-long history. The series has seen over 95 individual titles, which include 15 mainline entries and over 70 spin-offs. Final Fantasy has gone from a humble 2D RPG with turn-based combat to a more action-centric approach with its most recent releases; Final Fantasy VII remake and Final Fantasy XV. The series is set to continue its legacy of reinvention with Final Fantasy XVI. Final Fantasy XVI is the biggest departure from the Final Fantasy formula that the series has seen to date. This entry is introducing mechanics and design choices that the series has never seen including a shift to real-time combat. While this has led some fans to question the direction the series is headed in, it ultimately shows Square Enix’s commitment to
