Far Cry 5 Preview
The recent Far Cry games tend to have a split personality when it comes to their tone. One moment, they’re an insane, drug-fueled episode of Looney Toons with swirling colors and apparitions appearing from nowhere. The next, they’re a somber look at the terror of conflict, and how society can fall apart with a nudge in the right place. It’s an odd dichotomy that works surprisingly well for the series, and Far Cry 5 looks to carry on that same tradition.

School’s Out… For Terror

LOW The entire second building, pre-patch.
WTF So you just expect me to randomly check out that room before fighting the tree?
Q.U.B.E. 2 Preview
When I wrapped up the original Q.U.B.E., I didn’t see where a sequel could go. There was a giant cube, it was going to destroy the earth, some heroic astronauts put a stop to it via an elaborate series of jumping and physics puzzles, roll credits.
I massively underestimated the developers, because it turns out that there’s a huge amount of story left to tell,and Q.U.B.E. 2 outdoes its predecessor in every possible way.

LOW Spending twenty minutes getting killed by a Cybogre over and over again.
WTF This is the second game I’ve played this week set in 2084. We get it. You like Orwell.
Cloudbase Prime Review
They’re Falling Forever
HIGH The dragon vs spaceship boss fight.
