Josef Fares of Hazelight Studios has two major releases under his belt, both focused on narrative gameplay featuring two major characters. While 2013's Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons was a single player affair except on Switch, 2018's A Way Out was a full on co-op experience for two players as they attempted to break out of a prison. Now Josef and Hazelight are back for something decidedly different and honestly, all together fresh for video games.
Yesterday, we got an exclusive first look at the making of the art and story for Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. Today, we've got a short hands-on preview to share courtesy of our own Locke Vincent.
Nvizzio's third-person, open-world action/tower-defense title, Eden Rising: Surpemacy, will be hitting Steam Early Access sometime next month. In anticipation of its imminent "release" to the world, we spoke with a few folks from Nvizzio about the game and what players can expect/look forward to once it's available.
After playing several hours of Dauntless Early Access (both during the Founder’s Alpha and the Closed Beta), I wanted to share some of my preliminary impressions of the game for those who have not invested in Founder’s Packs. It’s important to stress that since the game is still in Closed Beta, this is not a review, and I fully ex...
Less than a month ago, Arc System Works announced that the all-new Double Dragon IV would be coming to PlayStation 4 and PC at the end of January. The teaser trailer revealed that the new game would use sprites from the NES games, but little else. Fast forward a bit, and now we have solid details and screenshots that reveal the scope of Double Dragon IV.
This month for MMO Co-Opportunities, we’ll be previewing Guardians of Ember, an MMO from Runewaker now in beta. Since the game isn’t released yet (and the content in the beta is very limited), we’ll be looking at the potential MMO co-opportunities I’ve found in my time with the game. Guardians of Ember (henceforth GoE...
Larian Studios’ Divinity: Original Sin stands out as one of the best RPGs I’ve played over the past few years. When I heard they were going to be at PAX East 2016 showing off Divinity: Original Sin 2, I knew I had to get my hands on it. These are my hands-on impressions.
Despite its action-RPG trappings, Zombasite has more in common with board games like Diplomacy and Dead of Winter than it does with Diablo III. Between keeping your clan alive, managing relationships with your neighbors, and foiling your nemesis’ plans, you’ll have more to do than just “point-and-click.”
Satellite Reign was launched on Kickstarter in late 2013, and it easily met its funding goal of $530,000 by raising over $700,000. But it never quite made it to some of the stretch goals, the biggest of which was a million dollar goal for online co-op. The game released back in August of 2015 on Steam after an early access period and so far garnered over a 1000 positive reviews, meeting expectations of both the players and developer 5 Lives.
At New York Comic Con last week I went hands on with several 505 Games published titles. I rather enjoyed upcoming indie title Indivisible, which mixes side scrolling fighting with a JRPG style game. I also really dug checking out Adr1ft on the Oculus Rift, a truly unique experience for sure. But it was How to Survive 2 I was there to see for Co-Optimus; the upcoming sequel boasting 16 player server support and four player co-op.
Last month, MMO Co-Opportunities featured part 1 of a hands-on preview of the upcoming expansion for Guild Wars 2, Heart of Thorns. In it, I gave some impressions of the new profession (the Revenant), one of the new elite specializations for the game (the Dragonhunter for the Guardian), and some thoughts of the general feel of the new zone. This mo...
Last week, I headed over to the Bryant Park Hotel to attend the Bandai Namco NYC Showcase Event. There they had a ton of their upcoming releases for the next few quarters. Of course, I was interested in the titles featuring co-op, which meant I spent a lot of time talking to the representatives for Tales of Zestiria and Dark Souls III.
