At PAX West I met up with a Square Enix Japan rep who plopped me down in front of an Xbox One development console and a build of Final Fantasy XV that contained the game's first three chapters.…

If you were to ask someone to describe the first World War to you, chances are that they will tell you that it was a horrible conflict where millions of soldiers died fighting for even the most…

Is there anyone who actually likes MOBAs? It feels like most players have an ongoing love-hate relationship with the genre, assuming they don't outright loathe it even as they hop into their next…

Two years ago, the phrase "Standby for Titanfall" represented the dawn of a new age of first-person shooters. Most of us were familiar with FPS games like Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield, but…

Personally, I've always considered Iron Storm's cyberpunk epic Deus Ex to be the pinnacle of Western RPGs. It was a game that combined smart writing and a captivating story with pristine mechanics,…

After three years, a ton of hype, and a bunch of anger, No Man’s Sky is here, finally, in our hands. And with it, comes controversy. The recent hubbub over the apparent lack of multiplayer in the…

Politics are pretty bleak nowadays. In basically all of the Western world, it seems everything is more of a joke. Or at least a hashtag. So we turn to the world of video games to try and drown out…

Ever since finishing Nioh's Alpha demo back in May, I've been waiting for my chance to get my hands on more of the title. Thankfully, during our appointment at Koei Tecmo's E3 booth, I got my chance…

I apologize to the Rebellion developers who I spoke to during my scheduled demo of Sniper Elite 4. I raised my hand when you asked if any of us had played Sniper Elite, and while I have gone through…

Three of us just got out of the first presentation and gameplay opportunity for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game from CD Projekt RED. Personally, I was not someone that played much Gwent in The Witcher 3…

The original Titanfall remains one of my favorite FPS games of the current generation. Respawn Entertainment created a fast paced game that is split evenly between the swift pilots and the lumbering…

The hour grows late as I sit down to write this first impressions piece. Like many of you, we here at TechRaptor had to wait to play the most recent offering from Naughty Dog until launch day and I'…

I first played Overwatch a little over a year ago at PAX East. I've played hours and hours of it since then in various betas and named it my most anticipated game of the year. Overwatch's excellent…

2013's Shadow Warrior was a real treat. An FPS with speed and over the top gunplay to match its Build Engine inspiration, the game was fun but rooted in the past. Linear corridors shuffled you…

I like to think I'm fairly decent at the Souls series. I managed to conquer the original Dark Souls on PC, powered through the seemingly impossible nightmare of Demon's Souls, and played Dark Souls…

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…

Indivisible is a new game from Skullgirls developer Lab Zero which was announced in October of 2015 with a crowdfunding goal of $1.5 Million, with a promise of an additional $2 Million more from…

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…

Whilst the beta for Street Fighter 5 has been around for a while, it has been relegated to just those who pre-ordered the game for PlayStation 4, so many who have wanted to get hands on have sadly…

Note: the only demo available for Dark Souls III was an off-TV presentation that a Bandai Namco representative walked us through. As such, this article will be split into two parts - what I saw and…

Unfortunately, review copies for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt did not get handed out until yesterday. As such, we here at TechRaptor have not had an opportunity for a whole review yet, meaning this…

Darkest Dungeon by Red Hook Studios is not a friendly RPG, with a depressing Gothic aesthetic bleeding into every crevice of the game's many dark pits. This is not a game that someone prefers that as…

One thing to keep in mind while reading this: The Long Dark is still in Alpha, and this is an Alpha preview. Many features, mechanics, etc., are not set in stone and are very likely to change. Also,…

InXile's new game is out today and the internet is all a flutter with the release of Wasteland 2. The news is big and why would you expect anything less for a game that has been 26 years in the…

Everyone knows that when a game is in Alpha or Beta, it isn't finished yet, and not ready for release. This past weekend's Destiny Alpha, however, felt nothing like the usual "buggy" and incohesive…

It's not every day you hear that a historical genre-defining game gets another chance to wow the masses. It has happened before, with disastrous and series-ending results, such as Duke Nukem's Duke…

Nom Nom Galaxy is a game about soup production. No, no! Don’t leave! It’s good, I swear. It also features mining and landscaping, with a huge focus on automation and efficiency. Hmm, that isn’t…

Sometime last year, a game called A Hat in Time on Kickstarter was brought to my attention that checked off a whole bunch of boxes in the “What Seth Looks For In A Game” list. It promised to be a…
