I'm someone who loves checking out new survival games, partially because I'm (currently) the Guides Editor here at TechRaptor, but also because each one has its own take on the genre and offers a…

While S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is still several months away I sat with a preview build of the game at Gamescom in Cologne. It provided me with the opportunity to test some of the…

Survival games and RPGs alike have largely neglected the West -- the Wild West, that is. There aren't all that many games that try to make the most out of this setting compared to others. Wild West…

To say I'm excited about the full release of Tchia would be an understatement. Ever since we got to see a preview build of the game back in August, it has been seated firmly at the top of my list of…

Since its reveal back in 2020, Awaceb's tropical adventure title Tchia has existed comfortably in the niche of being a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild clone. Its art style and gameplay hook of…

There are tons of games about aliens arriving on Earth. Many popular titles deal with humans banding together in order to fight an outer space force with superior technology. You've got the newest…

V Rising has been described to me as something like an unholy union of Diablo and Rust. In it, you play as a vampire who has recently awoken from slumber and will need to fight, build, and control…

When you first think of survival games, you don’t exactly picture a getaway island and a life of selling flowers and fruits. Instead, you’d think of slaying monsters in dingy caves and crafting…

If you’ve had dreams of exploring a large and diverse galaxy with plenty to do, you certainly have your pick of games out there, so what makes Everspace 2 different? This Everspace sequel to the 2017…

It's very difficult to pull off "weird" in a story convincingly. Too much weird can risk alienating an audience, but too little can come across as desperate. To see it being done right, look no…

One of the great paradoxes of writing about games is knowing about every new release and not having the time to play any of them. Such was the case with Everspace, an arcadey space dogfighting game…

Subnautica: Below Zero is an expandalone to 2018's Subnautica, a game I more or less enjoyed. The prospect of heading back to Planet 4546B was enticing and I was excited to see if Unknown Worlds…

Like many gamers, I've hunted down every bit of Metro Exodus gameplay I could find. I reviewed both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux some time ago and I'm excited to check out the next…

The Just Cause series is unique. From the beginning, the developer's intentions were pretty clear. Every iteration has driven players closer and closer to that ideal explosion simulator. While Just…

Fans of Nintendo's sci-fi leaning properties seem to live and breathe disappointment. The cast of Custom Robo never got a chance to shine. Captain Falcon feels trapped in an endless void from which…

Back in 2015, I got my hands on Yakuza 5. I was already living in Japan at that time, so it was delightful to see the series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu running around the streets of my city Fukuoka.…

With each passing day, the possibility of ubiquitous space travel nears ever closer. There are untold valuable resources just in our own little asteroid belt, nevermind the countless planets beyond…

Ever since Assassin's Creed II came out in 2009, there has been a steady stream of major Assassin's Creed games, with one launching every year until 2015. With the general perception of the series…

A year can make a lot of difference. I played Agents of Mayhem at E3 2016, and I came away less than impressed. Playing through a story mission without any context put me off, and it was evident that…

I really like The Martian. I read the book by Andy Weir about four times and I can't remember how many times I've seen the movie. I had always wondered why a game developer hadn't taken the time to…

GTA Online: Bikers, the latest DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online, has officially launched. I spent a good chunk of the first half of my day hanging out in a Motorcycle Club and checking out the new…

If you've not heard of Tom Clancy's The Division by now you're either not into video games or you're dead (which makes me wonder why you're reading this in the first place!). The marketing machine…

PC gamers are notoriously proud of their platform. You can peek into any gaming discussion online to confirm that. Of course, there's one problem in being a gamer that only plays on one device, and…

The Division created a lot of buzz when it was first shown off at Ubisoft's press conference at E3 2013. The gameplay presented at the event won a lot of people over for its demonstration of teamwork…
