Soulslike games seem to have become a dominant force in the gaming community. These games pride themselves on their steep learning curves and difficult to master gameplay. As such, titles like Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice seem to be cultural touchstones within the gaming community now, which could likely be responsible for why PS5 owners are perhaps delving into Demon’s Souls on their new consoles right now. While some fans are furiously making their way through the Demon’s Souls Remake on the new PlayStation console, others have a different title on their mind....

The ongoing platform war between Epic Games and Apple is reaching an unfortunate, but predictable, conclusion. On Wednesday morning, Epic announced that Fortnite’s upcoming major update for Chapter 2 Season 4 will not be coming to iOS or macOS platforms. Update v14.00 is planned to go live on August 27 across all other platforms, but Apple users will have to wait for Epic and Apple to figure out their issues first....

There’s a strong case to be made that Enter The Gungeon deserves to recognized as one of the very best games in the roguelike genre. It manages to blend the fast-paced action of a shoot ’em up - or “shmup” if you’re cool - with the loot-gathering inventory building and exploration of a dungeon crawler. It’s pretty difficult, but it’s also fun, engaging, and full of secrets and Easter Eggs....

Facebook’s gaming aspirations have never really stopped at just VR. The social media platform is the perfect way to experience cloud gaming, which is why Facebook Gaming is rolling out its beta test across much of the United States starting today. But before you go thinking this is a new Google Stadia or Microsoft xCloud competitor, let’s pump the brakes a bit. Facebook Gaming made it very clear that they’re not exactly taking aim at the big boys in the gamersphere....

One of the most iconic franchises in all of gaming, Fallout has grown into a household name for Bethesda. Video games, merchandise, and many easter eggs surround this post-apocalyptic franchise. Whether it was from Bethesda or Black Isle, the Fallout franchise has a certain charm to it that most RPGs wish they could replicate. It took a long time to get there, though. Each game has iterated from the original’s focus on RPG mechanics and dark humor....

Due to legal reasons, the Road to Liberty mod team had to cancel Fallout 3 mod project. The Fallout 3 remake mod that was supposed to be housed in Fallout 4 was pulled because of copyright infringement issues, among other things.

Whether you launched the Nuke yourself or someone else did, there are several unique activities to enjoy in the Blast Zone. This Fallout 76 ‘Blast Zone Fallout’ mode changes all plants, creatures, and even environmental effects throughout the area. But be prepared. Everything gets a lot more challenging to deal with. Obviously, it’s important to remember to stay out of the Blast Zone until the missile lands. You’d be surprised how many players are accidentally incinerated....

In order to keep all major post-launch content DLCs free, Fallout 76 launched with the Atomic Shop, a store of microtransactions that Bethesda Vice President Pete Hines promised was simply “cosmetic stuff.” However, when the developer revealed that it was adding Repair Kits (a utility item) to the Atomic Shop, many felt as if Bethesda broke its cosmetic-only microtransaction promise. With the recent v8.5 update, these Repair Kits were added in-game, with a note from Bethesda regarding these criticisms....

Blue orbs in Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5 increase the player’s health pool, with full blue orbs immediately increasing vitality and blue orb fragments doing the same after four have been collected. Maintaining once’s health in Devil May Cry 5 is crucial, especially at higher difficulties. Picking up a few extra fragments can make the difference between a successful run or not, so knowing their locations can prove to be a boon in Devil May Cry 5....

Activision has recently confirmed that the next Call of Duty title would see the series returning to World War 2, and the publisher even gave fans a glimpse of the upcoming title’s cover. It featured a dirtied American soldier, with the US Army’s signature helmet donned, staring straight forward with dog tags wrapped around his hands just above the stock of his rifle. The cover to Call of Duty: WW2 sets the tone while bearing few surprises, and it turns out that it’s also not the first game image to be structured exactly like it is....

One of ways Microsoft has been showing off next-generation graphical fidelity is through Forza Motorsport, revealed for Xbox Series X during the console’s game showcase earlier this month. However, another racing game that will be available for Xbox Series X and Sony’s PlayStation 5 which also stands out for its detail is Codemasters’ DIRT 5, which put out a trailer showcasing what the simulator will be capable of.

Since 2013 when EA signed a 10-year deal with Disney for the license to publish Star Wars games, the experience for fans has been a bit of a rollercoaster. While the first Battlefront released with success, Battlefront 2 was embroiled in controversy over microtransactions, and then came news of the cancellation of two more Star Wars games in development. Many fans have called for Disney to revoke EA’s license and have hoped Disney would give the license to another publisher or to bring all the game development for the franchise in-house at Disney....

As many predicted, Apex Legends and other stream-intensive games are not likely to appear on the upcoming Stadia. While Google is actively promoting their new project and promising that it can offer players a 4K experience at 60fps, the individual experience is going to vary wildly depending on the quality of one’s internet access. Even if by some miracle all of the requirements for perfect streaming fall into place perfectly, Respawn executive producer Drew McCoy is unconvinced that the Stadia will workout for games similar to Apex Legends, stating in an recent interview with Game Informer that “We tested a lot of streaming solutions in the last five or six years....

Fans got their first look at Dragon Age 4 recently and from what BioWare has shown off, the atmosphere of the new lands players will be traveling through seems dark. In fact, this new aesthetic seems fairly reminiscent of another gothic, fantasy adventure from the early PS4 era, which may give players the look and feel of a Bloodborne 2, even if the gameplay will be completely different. It would be a stretch to claim that Dragon Age 4 is going to play anything like Bloodborne, but the similar aesthetics may hint at a somewhat familiar storyline to follow, taking notes from eldritch horror....
