Coraline is atop tier work of children’s horror. Admittedly, that category isn’t as well-populated as it deserves to be, but even if it were, this story by legendary writer Neil Gaiman would still probably be one of the all-time greats. It’s just so delightfully creepy! It has a powerful fairy tale vibe, which is understandable, given that that’s the most common kind of screwed-up children’s story, but it’s leaning into that element more than those old stories normally do....

When it comes tofirst-person shooters, it feels weird to call any of them ‘realistic.’ After all, even the morerealistic games have some unrealistic mechanics. For instance, crouching behind a wall for several seconds shouldn’t be able to heal bullet wounds. That said, there are some shooters that are at least set in real wars, include real weapons, and attempt to make you feel like real soldiers. Yet, the inclusion of realism doesn’t necessarily make them good....

Summary It’s hard to be a Shaman, especially recently. These masters of all things elemental have been taking a bit of a beating in the recentWorld of Warcraftmeta, which follows years of them being a bit neglected. But, if there’s one area Shamans have the upper hand in, it’s the transmog game. Shamans have some of the most dynamic, experimental, dramatic, and just plain fun transmog options. Within these outfits are fires and flames, sparks and lightning, tempest and storm, earth and rock, and water and waves....

Summary Nothing says ‘exhausting but fun vacation’ quite like a 10-year-old car that’s just a tad too small for everyone to fit, a small gas station’s worth of snacks, and a CD that nobody remembers buying but has presumably been in the car’s CD player for as long as the car has existed. Books and movies are no strangers to stories about these meandering adventures, but when it comes to video games specifically, finding a good road trip can be just as rare as experiencing a good road trip in real life....

I fell out of love withCall of DutyZombies when it pivoted to open worlds and objective-based modes. Even duringCold Warwhen the traditional round-based maps were still being supported, they were just character-less rehashes of ill-fitting campaign levels. I’ve not been properly excited by Zombies innine years, but withBlack Ops 6, the tide of guts and gore and awesome metal music is finally turning. There isfar too much to list hereon what Treyarch and Raven is getting right this time around, which in itself is a great sign, but the best thing of all is that it’s inspired by Black Ops 3, the pinnacle of Zombies (argue with a wall)....

Summary It doesn’t matter if you are a cat lover or not, the Cat Quest games are an amazing series of open-world RPGs that combine cute graphics, fun gameplay, and amazing and funny storylines. From raiding dungeons, and finding loot to exploring the large open worlds, these titles have everything you could want from a casual, adventure game, and they do it in their cute and unique style. There are three Cat Quest games out right now and while all of them share a similar concept, there are quite a few differences that make each of them stand out and this list will rank them all on this basis....

Quick Links The Camo Cosmos opens with one ofAstro Bot’smost ambitious levels in the form of Hieroglitch Pyramid, which is fun to say but less fun to type. In it, you’ll be making your way through an ancient Egyptian themed level, with a funky new power to boot. And now the name makes sense. Anyway, here’s every Bot, Jigsaw Piece, and Black Hole along the way. Bot 1 In the opening area, there’sa bot inside a sarcophagus off to the right....

Summary Dragon Age: The Veilguardwon’t have a quest likeWicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, so don’t expect to be attending any balls this time around. This comes from The Veilguard’s creative director John Epler, who says that our new hero, Rook, won’t have time to swing by a party at the Winter Palace. Epler confirmed this in a Q&A with fans over on theBioWareDiscord. Here, Epler sheds some more light on what we can expect from The Veilguard, revealing that the fan-favourite quest fromDragon Age: Inquisitionisn’t going to return....

Summary It’s an exciting time to be aDragon Questfan, because after much hope and speculation,Dragon Quest 3 HD2D Remake is coming out later this year. Not only that, but Dragon Quest 1 and Dragon Quest 2 will also be getting the remake treatment in 2025. In other words, by the end of 2025, the seminal Erdrick Trilogy will be available across modern consoles. That said, not everything is peachy inDragon Questland....

Summary WhenDying Light: The Beastwas announced, it got my attention right away. The way the first two games handle the overuse formula of a city infested with zombies, giving you an amazing feeling of movement, options for traversal, and a detailed landscape to immerse yourself in, made them standouts in the field. The fact that The Beast is once again focused on story rather than being turned into an asymmetric multiplayer or live-service title was already a step in the right direction....

Summary Waterfalls in video games used to be a magical thing. You knew that if you saw water rapidly flowing over the edge of a cliff, there would usually be some kind of treasure or secret behind it. Games likeThe Legend of Zelda,Mario Kart, andTomb Raiderwere all masters in the art of waterfall secrets. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, while sublime in many areas, unfortunately, doesn’t reach the lofty heights of some of the games that came before it when it comes to waterfalls....
