Visions of Mana is the upcoming return of the Mana series by Square Enix. Today a launch date trailer was released for the game. Check it out along with our thoughts on the game. Visions of Mana will be coming out on August 29th, 2024. The game is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. It looks like an absolutely incredible game. I love the graphics, which looks slightly cel-shaded especially with the characters. The action combat looks…

The Summer Game Fest has come and gone to mark the semi-official start of the season’s Not-E3 celebrations. And yet this year, more than ever, we can see that it’s not the E3 replacement perhaps everybody wants it to be. That should be okay. That is to say, there a place for a smaller “hyped” event that can explore a variety of smaller games alongside a few bigger announcements. And while that might not seem like a controversial opinion, for…

Terminal 81 takes you on a haunting journey through the crime-ridden streets of Terminal 81, a fictionalized São Paulo neighborhood in 2008. You step into the shoes of Lorena, a recent arrival struggling to make ends meet amidst a harsh economic climate. As a string of kidnappings throws the community into fear, you’ll find yourself not just trying to survive, but also unraveling the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. The game’s greatest strength lies in its ability to create…

While the State of Play was an underwhelming start to the Summer games news blowout, there was at least one major bright spot. Astrobot and Dynasty Warriors mark another welcome return to mainstream fun. That’s not something to take for granted. The actual prioritisation of entertainment over production values or spectacle is something that rarely comes along. And while Dynasty Warriors was edging a little closer to edge than I’d have traditionally liked, that series represents the purest of video…

Get ready, PlayStation fans! The May State of Play brought a ton of exciting news and announcements for the coming year. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights: Concord: Firewalk Studios’ 5v5 multiplayer shooter got a fresh gameplay trailer, showcasing diverse characters and intense action. It’s coming to PC and PS5 on August 23rd, with a beta in July.   God of War Ragnarok: Sony Santa Monica’s acclaimed action game is making its way to PC on September 19th, packed…

I woke up this morning to perhaps the most important low-key video game news of the year. The Kingdom Hearts series is finally hitting Steam. Those not in the know might shrug their shoulders at this news. There’s a good chance that most people in the know won’t give a damn. A hodge-podge of PS2, PS4, PSP and 3DS games reaching an app on a platform they were already available on? Yawn, right? Wrong. This signals a change in priorities…

It’s nearly that time of year when – for a week or two – there’s actual game news. And this not-E3 might be the most important yet. Since the actual E3 died a death, publishers have collectively decided that June is still a good time to share your big marketing push for the coming year and beyond. And while I miss the organisation, pomp and cringe of the proper show, what we’ve got now is still better than the nothing…

We checked out the Cat Quest 3 demo and liked it a lot. So our excitement for the upcoming game is high. Here is a brand new character trailer that adds to that. Cat Quest 3 looks amazing. I really like the first game and I haven’t had the chance to check out the second. The third game, however, just looks like a ton of fun. You play as a cat and sail the open sea, looking for adventure on…

There was a time when I’d write about games. Now I write about how industry executives keep stepping on rakes. I should preface this by saying I’m not the multimillionaire executive of a trillion dollar company, so perhaps the line between “making customers happy” and “destroying an entire brand in a fire” is thinner than you might think. Xbox this week shuttered two popular studios for reasons beyond public comprehension. There are probably reasons, but their marketing policy makes giving…

I watched the trailer for Tales of the Shire yesterday, and instantly decided it wasn’t going to be my thing. You know what it is? Exactly the kind of gaming adaptations we need. Life sims are huge right now. Will any of these games still be rated especially well in a decade? Enjoy before the wave comes crashing down, because man the weight of some of these titles is starting to feel heavy. And I start this article from pointing…
