I wish I could explain exactly what makes NieR Automata so damn special, but that would absolutely ruin it for you. Rest assured, if you love a great story told with devastating style, you need to play through Nier Automata several times.
Swedish pen and paper game Mutant gets the turn based tactical video game treatment in Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. We played the game at E3 2018, and are ready to report on the duck headed shenanigans in store for players.
I’ve been eagerly anticipating Moon Studios’ follow up since competing Ori and the Blind Forest. Surprise! Ori and the Will of the Wisps is another Ori game (and that’s a damn good thing).

E3 2018 has shown us some of the biggest announcements in gaming in years, and with so much going on our very own Paul Sullivan and Garrett Drake have graciously decided to tour the South Hall and let us all see at home what we have been missing.
State of Decay 2 is an ambitious follow up to the 2013 original. Unfortunately, promising core functionality can’t save this buggy mess from it’s generic and tedious loop.
