Loot boxes are quite a controversial feature in most cases and they are even considered as gambling in certain countries, but they are a common way of getting additional income for game developers. Paying real money for a chance of getting an exclusive cosmetic item or a minor boost is something that most players agree with, but when we are talking of items that give you a certain advantage in combat all alarms seem to trigger for most people, especially...

More than just a habit, it's almost become the norm for the Steam rival platform to offer at least one free game every week. But there are times when Epic Games is even more generous. This is the case this week, as you can pick up not one but three games for free on the platform today.  The first one is Deponia: The Complete Journey, but it's actually three games together in one collection: Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, and Goodbye Deponia....

The Maiden demo was a real hit, and it allowed players to discover the atmosphere of...

Even though Ubisoft has made quite a good job with Assassin's Creed Valhalla it's having some problems meeting the schedule with its upcoming DLC.

As the spiritual successor to the System Shock series, BioShock caught the attention of many players when it was released in 2007. The original game was followed by two sequels, BioShock 2 and BioShock: Infinite, whose also had a very warm welcome, but we have been eagerly waiting for a new installment since 2013. In December 2019, 2K Games had announced that the development of such a game was underway, the one that is for now soberly called...

We have seen many competitive games in which you have to put to the test your mettle, wits, and skills against other players but Hood: Outlaws and Legends offers a series of features to the players that make its gameplay as unique as thrilling.

Sid Meier's Civilization franchise has changed a lot over the years but it has managed to maintain quite a wide fanbase. It's probably the video games series that has contributed more to the popularity of the turn-based strategy genre.

All fans of the WWE 2K series have had a hard time during the last couple of years. The launch of WWE 2K20 was a disaster and the game soon became an endless source of memes due to an incredibly high amount of graphics and gameplay bugs.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the successor to Ghost Recon Wildlands but it takes place in a very different setting than the latter. It has been accompanying fans of Ubisoft's franchise for over a year now.

It was received with enthusiasm during E3 2019 with a trailer full of colors and music, worthy of a Tarantino film. Deathloop is the new baby of the Lyon-based studio Arkane, which is responsible for the Dishonored series, Prey and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. At the Playstation event in June 2020, we were able to discover more about the game, and learn that Deathloop would be a temporary one-year exclusive on Playstation 5. Even though its release...

Old classics never die, and the Streets of Rage series is one of those. Beat 'em up video games were quite popular in the '90s and Street of Rage was one of the most popular series in the genre, along with others like Double Dragon or Final Fight.

Back in November 2020, IO Interactive announced that the studio is working on a new project based on the James Bond license. Very few things have been unveiled about this new game, and it's for a good reason. In January we could see quite a few job offers from the studio, including one for a producer position, which suggested that Project 007 was only at the very beginning of the development process. Although the studio announced that Agent 47 is not...

It's rather curious that the biggest announcement at this year's Blizzcon is about an old game instead of bringing a new title into the spotlight. Well, technically Diablo II: Resurrected is a new game but as far as we know, it won't bring many novelties in terms of content compared to the old Diablo II, so it's just the same game with a new skin. It's true that it will include new features like cross-platform progression, revamped ladder...

It's just barely one month left until we can enjoy Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and BioWare has taken the time to go into detail and explain every change that this new version of the original Mass Effect trilogy will include.

Even though we have been following Atomic Heart for quite a while, it's a bit discouraging that it still does not have an official release date. MundFish's open-world action role-playing game caught the attention of many players when it was announced three years ago.

After escaping this terrible fate,...

Magic: Legends has received a lot of criticism since the open beta of the game kicked off a few days ago. The most common complaint is about one of the classes being gated between a sort of paywall. Initially, the Dimir Assassin was only obtainable from "booster packs" but the pressure caused by all the complaints made Cryptic turn it a fixed reward from the Battle Pass. Every Magic: Legends player is now able to unlock the new class in...
