Planet Nomads Preview
While I can’t say for sure what’s going on inside the developers’ heads, it’s impossible to look at Planet Nomads’ aesthetic and not come away with the impression that – at least on some level, the game exists as a way to make good on No Man’s Sky’s promises. It’s a game matching NMS’ 70s sci-fi look but keeping the scope to a single planet. Will setting more modest goals lead to a better result?

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.
Dynasty Warriors 9 Review
Dynasty Warriors Goes Open-World! But Should It?
HIGH The fate of the monstrous Lu Bu.
LOW Watching the framerate chug every time I get into large-scale battle.
WTF “It’s just an eye.”
Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package (PS4) Review
Best Xmas Game Ever? Best Xmas Game Ever.
