I Played The Next Promising Soulslike So You Don’t Have To

I’m a sucker for melee-focused games. Anything that emphasizes brutal brawling and flashy martial arts, like Sleeping Dogs and Sifu, is totally my jam. So, I was both curious and stoked when my Xbox Series S, the bestie that it is, recommended I check out ACE Team’s Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Unfortunately, I walked…

More than six years after its release, the Nintendo Switch is still dutifully chugging along, and still without the long-rumored Switch Pro. Compared to its supercomputer competitors, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Sony’s PlayStation 5, it’s by no means the most powerful place to play games today. But it’s still the…

Looks Like Mario Kart 8 Secretly Buffed Its Weaker Characters In Latest Update

There’s a common wisdom in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Lighter characters handle better, but they can’t reach the top speeds seen from some of the heavier competitors. It’s a trade-off that keeps most of the characters relevant in Mario Kart meta. Now that everyone has had plenty of time to “git gud,” the gulf isn’t as…

Hogwarts Legacy Gets Animal Rescue All Wrong
