    Ghost of Yotei's DLC, Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted, Are Worthy Additions for the PS5 Exclusive (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Looking to the past to expand on a current game is a pretty common avenue for post-launch content, and developer Sucker Punch does this in more ways than one for Ghost of Yotei. Echoes of Sekigahara weaves in flashbacks from lead character Atsu's life for a brief yet effective questline woven into the middle of the base game. Alongside that is the new Most Wanted mode, which introduces grueling run-based combat challenges – a major highlight of which is that Ghost of Tsushima's Jin Sakai is a pl

    Control Resonant Features a Powerful Twin Peaks Quote, Paying Tribute to the Late David Lynch Who Inspired Remedy's Games (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Remedy Entertainment's games have always been inspired by the late, great filmmaker David Lynch, who passed away in January 2025. Best known for the influential muder mystery series Twin Peaks and cult classic thriller Mulholland Drive, Lynch's penchant for merging surrealism with horror and absurism made him iconic as a director and screenwriter. Those inspirations are clearly seen in 2019's Control and especially in 2023's Alan Wake 2. Now, Remedy's latest game Control Resonant features an Eas

    Control Resonant Has Remedy's Signature Touch, Uplifting Its Sharp Combat That Eventually Dulls (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Paranatural phenomena, Objects of Power, and interdimensional threats all defying the laws of physics – developer Remedy has built its reputation on these kinds of concepts, and none more intriguing than the fantastic Control in 2019. The subtleties in its SCP-adjacent mysteries are what left a lasting impact, so in many regards, Control Resonant is an antithesis. Not only has the series moved from metroidvania-esque shooter to open-world stylish-action, it also goes for a more straightforward s

    Playing Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Reminded Me of Its Best-in-Class Combat, but It Needs to Stay Focused | IGN Preview (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It's a little surreal that the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is about to come to a close; this reimagining of one of the most formative games has had quite the journey from the PS3 tech demo and the long development cycle to its conclusion with the upcoming FF7 Revelation. And so, there's a lot riding on Revelation to tie up all the loose ends that've been set up while giving the trilogy an ending to match the impact we felt almost 30 years ago. But, those aren't the kinds of things you'd gathe

    'You Might Not Have Every Companion You Started With' — Exodus Ending and Character Fates Change Based on Your Choices (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Any time you look at or talk about Exodus, the upcoming space opera RPG from Archetype Entertainment, the Mass Effect comparisons start flying at light speed. I mean, Exodus narrative director Drew Karpyshyn played a major role as a writer and lead at BioWare to shape the stories of its biggest hits. In our conversation following my hands-on preview of Exodus, he told me that Mass Effect is a perfectly fine way for people to wrap their head around what this new game is. The parallels don't end w
