Doom Eternal isn’t a complete reimagining of the franchise, nor even a great departure from its 2016 predecessor. What it is, instead, is a tightening up of controls and mechanics, a broadening of…

This past week, I've had the pleasure of revisiting Saints Row 4: Re-Elected on my Nintendo Switch. Within minutes I was transported back to one of Volition's best open-world action games of the past…
