Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Review
Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will be the official tie-in for the Olympic Games delayed that will begin next month. Since the last iterations, the series has tried to replicate the actual experience by creating simulation-like gameplay that feels and looks like the real thing. Sega has made a significant change with Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, which takes a more arcadey approach in terms of gameplay as well as visual style. This decision works well for the game and creates a pick up-and-play environment that's ideal for local multiplayer.

Chivalry 2 Review
Online multiplayer shooters are so popular that you would think that online melee combat games would be equally popular. But that is not the case. There is very little to choose from, aside from Mordhau. Console players are also left out, as Mordhau can only be played on PC. Chivalry 2 offers excellent melee combat with very few issues.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors Review
There is a lot of potential in the action tactics sub-genre. This sub-genre of strategy gaming can create tension in a dynamic and changing real-time environment while also emphasizing teamwork to overcome the unknown. Ironward's refined sequel, Red Solstice 2 Survivors, succeeds in energizing action tactics sub-genre.

Scarlett Nexus Review
Bandai Namco's anime-infused action-RPG Scarlet Nexus is a master at subtext games and believes they are all cowards. This title is big and bold. Even when it fails, it doesn't let that stop it from taking huge swings and pursuing its most ambitious goals.

Old World Review
In recent and upcoming 4X strategy games, developers are putting extra effort into innovating and pushing the sub-genre of strategy games forward. Combining these games with other genres is one of the best ways to expand, as we have seen in XCOM and the upcoming Lemnis Gate. Is Mohawk Games' Old World going to be preserved or will it soon become a dusty artifact?

What Microsoft's Acquisition Of Bethesda Studios Means For The Console Wars
On the 12th of March 2021, after a long hard day at work, I settled down to unwind with my Xbox. I popped open Game Pass and was met with a new graphic for Bethesda and twenty of its titles added to the standard subscription at no extra cost.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector Review
Despite Games Workshop's Warhammer franchise being a huge success, many video games from the science-fantasy and fantasy versions of Warhammer failed to achieve breakthrough status. While only a few adaptations have been able to make Warhammer a timeless franchise, there is no sign that the franchise will slow down its efforts to reach that goal. Black Lab Games' Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector will be one of those success stories and help to establish the franchise's legacy.

F1 2021 Review
The F1 series has been relatively stable over the past decade, but things have changed a little since EA acquired Codemasters last years. Fears that the new publisher will ruin the experience are not valid. F1 2021 is basically the same game as the predecessors, with the exception of one mode, some refinements and a few microtransactions.

Cris Tales Review
Cris Tales identifies itself as a JRPG. It draws on the best structural, narrative and gameplay elements of heavy hitters such as Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and Persona. Cris Tales is less like a game than it should be, thanks to the number-popping attacks and turn-based systems.

Samurai Warriors 5 Review
One of the most powerful power fantasies in video games is to dress up as a samurai and play it. There are many award-winning games that allow you to play as a fictional character set in historical settings. But what about being a legendary, historical, and legendary samurai? All while engaging in dramatic shonen rivalries?

Fuga: Melodies of Steel Review
Many games make it clear that war is hell. The Banner Saga, a game that puts themes like loss and the visceral horrors on the battlefield front-and-center, creates compelling narratives that strike an emotional chord. CyberConnect2's Fuga: Melodies of Steel puts this idea in a new light by putting you in the shoes of displaced children.

Carrier Commander 2 Review
MicroProse is back in 2019 with a host of new strategy and simulation-lite games. Highfleet was a solid return to form for the dormant publisher and showed exactly the required potential for creative game design in the current franchise and license-dominated strategy market. Geometa's Carrier Command 2 can bring back fond memories of the original and MicroProse's promise to return. Can this start a revolution?
