Destroy All Humans was a popular game when it originally released back in 2005, and now the mischievous alien star Crypto is looking to make a comeback in the Destroy All Humans remake. The first new release in the series since 2008's Path of the Furon , the Destroy All Humans remake greatly improves on the graphics of the original game while retaining its unique style of gameplay. And perhaps if the Destroy All Humans remake does well, THQ Nordic may be convinced to move forward with a proper, full-fledged seq

There are some technical issues we ran into, but otherwise combat works well in Death Stranding . Combat is pretty basic overall, with not a lot of shooting since players are discouraged from killing anyone, but it still adds some variety to the gameplay, and there are some boss fights where players are allowed to let loose a bit more with Sam's arse

While Resident Evil 2 may ostensibly seem like a typical remake of the classic 1998 horror title of the same name, players who got to experience this revisit of the iconic series’ second entry were surprised to find it was something much more significant. Rebuilt from the ground up with gorgeous HD visuals, a new over-the-shoulder camera , and a modern reimagining of the classic’s horrifying police station and all the zombified monsters that dwelled within it, Resident Evil 2 redefined what made the series such a hit. While the franchise has trended towards a more action-heavy approach to survival horror in recent years, this exceptional remake shows that a confined setting, some utterly phenomenal sound design, and a handful of tough as nails monsters are all that is needed to make an utterly captivating horror

Arks are essentially large vaults for you to encounter in Rage 2 . Every one of them contains a number of useful items and weapons to help you master the wastes and beat the game. There are 14 in total with eight containing Nanotrite Abilities and six having weapo

But, that’s exactly what makes Death Stranding such a worthy game of the year contender. Very rarely do singular experiences prompt such extensive discourse throughout the game industry , and for that, it has gone down as one of this year’s most interesting releases. Its lack of traditional combat, emphasis on traversal, and dense story have set it apart from anything else in the medium, and while there’s no denying that it has heavy detractors, its attempt at portraying something entirely unique means that it has quickly become an experience that has stuck in the minds of many. Sure, Death Stranding taking home the top prize will anger some, but with iconic directors taking lead roles, monster energy drinks becoming a focus of gameplay, and a central throughline of the game being Norman Reedus bonding with a literal fetus, at least it won’t be a dull win

Since splitting from Konami, Koji Igarashi has created a new franchise that's very much in the same vein as the Castlevania games he is famous for in the form of Bloodstained . Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon was the first game in the series, playing like the NES-era Castlevania games, and now Igarashi and his team are set to release a direct sequel. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 will be yet another retro-style game in the vein of Castlevania , but it will look to spruce things up with a compelling local co-op mode and much m

When the BB in Death Stranding gets upset, it starts crying through the DualShock 4 microphone, which can be annoying. It's reminiscent of Mario crying in the Yoshi's Island games, and while using motion controls to calm it is kind of neat the first few times, it gets old quick, not unlike the encounters with the

While players are out delivering packages and guzzling Monster Energy, they will notice structures and items that were left behind by other people playing the Anime Game updates. This is Death Stranding 's Social Strand System at work, and it's easily the game's best feature. We would go as far as to say that the Social Strand System is brilliant, and experiencing it for oneself almost makes putting up with the game's many shortcomings worth

While Super Smash Bros Ultimate was a 2018 release, it just makes the cut into The Game Awards 2019 line-up due to missing the ceremony's deadline last year. While that may seem questionable to some, what it does mean is that one of this decade’s most impressive fighting games could finally get the award-winning recognition it deserves. Regardless of when it released, Ultimate has had a phenomenal 2019, releasing numerous well-received DLC fighters and bringing aboard thousands of new Switch owners that have yet to experience Nintendo’s iconic cross-over franch

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – Switch – November TBC – This wacky-looking game has all the fun players expect of similar, old Wii titles but on the improved functionality of the Switch. And how can anyone go wrong with Mario and Sonic, the two biggest names in video game hist
