Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5 Genre: Beta of a remastered action RPG with old-school grinding There is no question that Diablo 2 is an action RPG masterpiece, both the base game and the Lord of Destruction expansion pack.

Platforms: Android, iOS Genre: Open-World Action RPG There is perhaps no better time for a game like Marvel Future Revolution to release than now. This is especially so with Marvel's concept of the Multiverse and alternate versions of the same characters being all the rage (despite it already being a mainstay in comics for decades). The stor...
Platform: PC Genre: 2D action-adventure with anime art Who doesn't love a good 2D hack-and-slash platformer, especially one with nice animation and graphics that feel like they're out of a Production IG animation cel? Lost Epic, a 2D action game with RPG elements from developer oneoreight and Team Earthwars, seems to take a page from gorgeous t...
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch Genre: Turn-Based Tactical Strategy, RPG, Strategy The original King's Bounty was released way back in 1990. Yes, there have been several spinoffs and spiritual reboots like the Heroes Of Might And Magic franchise and 2008's King's Bounty The Legend. However, developer 1C Enter...
Platform: PC Genre: Isometric 70s sci-fi RPG I would say that I miss isometric CRPGs, but the Wasteland trilogy of games and the Pillars of Eternity entries in the past few years sort out those jollies. So what period and timeline haven't we covered yet with such PC role-playing titles that rely on numbers, as well as a mix of combat and brains...
Skateboarding games, while fun, have two main issues: one - it can be tough for newbies from the get-go. Two: the places you skate in seem pretty barren. Enter OlliOlli World, a super-bright and cheery (albeit weird) game where you pull off skateboarding tricks for points on a 2D plane. Simple gameplay and controls, but its course design and cha...
Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D action platformer game featuring Taiwan Robin Hood Feel the need to liberate early 20th century Taiwan from the cruel Japanese occupation, but in a bright and comic colour-filled 2D action platformer game with slick controls and Devil May Cry-like combat? Then you may want to check out The Legend of TianD...
After a day of turmoil and memes, we finally get to see the first hour or so of the new Final Fantasy spin-off game from Team Ninja, best known for the Ninja Gaiden and Nioh franchises. It's called Stranger Of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, and it's what you would expect of a Dark Souls/Nioh clone using the Square Enix JRPG brand. Some additions...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Immersive Sim, Management, Building, Indie Who honestly doesn't love dogs? If you've never been able to take care of cute little doggos in real life (for whatever reason), there's finally a game all about taking care of canines galore. Little Rock Games' To The Rescue! is a charming dog shelter simulator. The main obje...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Turn-Based RPG, Creature Collector, Adventure, Indie Many long-time Pokémon fans (including me) have fallen off the franchise's bandwagon ever since it upgraded to full 3D and left behind its classic elements. If you're feeling nostalgic for the retro days of classic Pokémon, TRAGsoft's Coromon will definitely scrat...
Platform: PC Genre: 90s JRPG throwback Remember Quintet, the JRPG group that made classics like Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma? The game that made you focus more on getting humanity back on track and that there's no real focal antagonist except the force of nature and death itself? Indonesian developer stellarNull is making a game similar in c...
Gearbox announced the next Borderlands spin-off game: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, slated for 2022. The team has revealed a lot more information than the trailer did (via IGN).

Koch Media unveiled its pretty new gaming label Prime Matters, featuring 12 upcoming titles slated for 2021 and 2022. The trove of games we saw in an early press preview were pretty interesting and varied; we're honestly fans of seeing new game IPs thriving in this current landscape. So let's list down our favourites from bottom to top, based on ho...
I do love me some Metal Slug action; the thrill of just casually running left to right mowing down not-Nazis, zombies, and aliens using Heavy Machine Guns and tanks called Metal Slugs just tickles my fancy so much. Which is why I'm happy to get a taste of the obvious SNK shooter tribute Mighty Goose. Published by Playism and made by Blastmode an...
As far as demo tapes go, the music rhythm indie game Unbeatable's got potential. I sure as heck want to find out how the full album/game sounds like. Unbeatable sports a Studio Trigger-esque anime art style that's energetic, accompanied with a rocking soundtrack from sample-heavy hip hop to pop rock you find at both an OP and ED of a shonen you ...
Returnal is the PS5's first true exclusive in a while since February 2021's Destruction All-Stars, if you count that. And it has a lot riding on it. After spending several hours with the latest game by developer Housemarque (best known for 2013's Resogun and 2016's Alienation), I can say that this is definitely a roguelike game that isn't afraid to...
Platform(s):Â PC Genre: Isometric Action RPG Roguelike, Isekai, Waifus That was fast. Supermassive Games' Hades was released in 2020 to critical acclaim and incredible financial success after being available in Early Access since 2018. It certainly didn't take long for developers and publishers to catch on and take inspiration from what wa...
2010's Nier by Cavia and Square Enix has a masterful story buried in its dark fantasy conventions and memorable characters. It also had a lacklustre action game attached to it, if I'm being honest. Everything felt sluggish to play and not as precise as it should. With the 2021 Nier "remake" dubbed Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139…. (which ...
2D action-platformer games are dime a dozen these days, which is why you need that X-factor to stand out from the rest. In 30XX's case, it works in a roguelike mechanic within its frenetic ode to Capcom's Mega Man and Mega Man X titles. Being a Mega Man nut myself, I do enjoy this potential breath of fresh air. The gist of Batterystaple Games' 2...
