Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… Kalimba is probably the greatest puzzle platformer you’ve never played. Just saying its name brings a smile to my face. It’s a delightful word that just rolls off the tongue, much like the pair of grinning

When you’re picking your stylized action/RPG titles these days, you have a wealth of choices, including a whole slew of 2Dish options that fit the bill of challenging and atmospheric fare. These range from the highly acclaimed Hollow Knight to Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, but there’s often fun to be had across the board. You can even

Cave story Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I’m a sucker for Far Cry’s charismatic bad guys. Since Far Cry 3, Ubisoft has obviously been aiming to write villians that thrill and terrify in equal measure, but with the stone-age Far Cry

Cyberpunk 2077‘s creators evidently had high hopes for their sprawling Keanu-toting RPG. But with the game lander rougher (read: buggier) than expected, CD Projekt executives have reportedly chosen to rethink their bonus structure, promising to pay developers their full share of their bonuses regardless of how well Cyberpunk reviews – even if, y’know, gating employee

Loop Hero is a nifty-looking Rogue-like game where you’ll strategically place enemies for your hero from your own hand of cards. Now, before anyone gets on me about calling it a Rogue-like, it’s got randomized adventures, gear, heroes that die, and an “infinite loop” that you’ll need to break out of. The deck-building bit is

Earlier this week, I opened up about how one of the more dangerous aspects in the game – the braindance sequences – was incidentally designed in a way that medical professionals use to trigger seizures for diagnostic purposes. That design caused me a grand mal seizure, which inspired me to write a small guide about

Destiny players have grown accustomed to the arrival of The Dawning around this time every year. Bungie’s in-game holiday celebration may not mention things like Hannukkah, Christmas, or New Years in any direct way, but it nonetheless is certainly an opportunity for snowy themes, gifts, and frolicking. Every year brings a few twists on expectation, and

Sega has announced that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s beloved Yakuza franchise will soon be nearly complete on Xbox and PC. Starting in January, players will be able to add The Yakuza Remastered Collection, which gathers Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 to their Game Pass libraries. Then, two months later, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, joins that

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… It’s difficult to describe Wattam without sounding like you’ve gone completely insane during lockdown. At first you play a lonely green cube called Mayor whose only wish is that he had a friend to share his

Telltale Games has seen its fair share of success and adversity. A large majority of gamers know the studio from its work on The Walking Dead; a critically acclaimed episodic adventure that released over a decade ago. Others recognize Telltale Games as the developers behind The Wolf Among Us - another episodic adventure that chronicled a noir version

Drink your noodle juice Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Draugen is described as a “fjord noir”, a story-heavy mystery set in an isolated (in fact, abandoned) town in 1920s Norway. It’s also got a character called Alice in it, which is

Much like an entertaining Josef Fares rant or a “surprise” Hideo Kojima appearance, celebrity cameos have become a staple of The Game Awards. Host Geoff Keighly has spent the last week name dropping the big stars on Twitter that will be hosting the all-virtual awards show.  The names range from Hollywood stars to game industry

Just one more early-game Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I feel like sometimes I get lost in chasing the new, shiny, high-tech offerings in gaming. This world is larger than ever, you can see individual snowflakes on Sad-Dad’s face, what about

We may be sheltering in place until this pandemic ends, but that doesn’t mean we have to abandon our holiday spirit. Since we’re locked away in our homes, there’s no better time than now to throw on a holiday sweater. Many of us wear these “beautiful” garments to one holiday party a year, and then

Forgotten Prince Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. It’s genuinely strange to me that more people don’t talk about the 2008 Prince Of Persia. Okay, it’s probably the art style, which deviates massively from the other games in the series. It’s also

Last week’s Xbox Series X trailer featured a heavy betrayal Master Chief faced from an adorable puppers, now with a new one directed by Taika Waititi, Master Chief is no more — instead, transforming into Meowster Chief. And you know what? I’m here for it.  Called Lucid Odyssey, Waititi drew inspiration from YouTuber MoonLiteWolf’s dreams to

What fresh hell is this? Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. There’s a bit in The Evil Within 2 where you walk into a large residential area with lots of houses, garages and shops to explore. Up until this point the game

The Game Awards kick off next week and with it comes the celebration of our favorite titles of the year as well as a few surprises for fans to enjoy. Geoff Keighley has been dropping teaser after teaser, including the confirmation that we’ll be getting a new look at Dragon Age 4 from BioWare following an

There can only be one Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age. At least, that seems to be the going policy for publishers Square Enix, who have delisted the existing version of the RPG from Steam and other storefronts in favour of this week’s new definitive “S” edition. Sure, while it’s probably less confusing

The Last of Us Part II director Neil Druckmann has been promoted to co-president of Naughty Dog. Current president Evan Wells announced the news today on the company’s blog. The promotion came during an all-studio meeting where director of operations Alison Mori and co-director of programming Christian Gyrling were also promoted to vice presidents.  Druckmann

There’s such a preposterous number of movies and tv shows currently being made based on video games that I’d honestly forgotten about Metal Gear Solid. A Snake-based motion picture is in the works and has finally decided on its face. Oscar Isaac, recently of Star Wars sequel series fame, will be playing your guy sneaky

 Star Wars alum Oscar Isaac has reportedly been tapped to play Solid Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid film. The long-in-development adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s beloved PlayStation game is currently in production at Sony Pictures.   While nothing is confirmed, Deadline reports that, according to its sources, Issac has signed to star in the upcoming film.

Put on your Space Shorts, we’re going looting. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Loot Rascals let’s you travel the cosmos beating up enemies with names like Lunk, Web Jock and Pool Beast in an effort to rescue your mate Big Barry

Balan Wonderworld feels like one of those games that no matter how much I see it, I still don’t know what to make of it. The opening movie looked good and the mix of Nights Into Dreams meets dress-up gameplay is certainly intriguing. Thankfully, a new trailer puts gameplay first and foremost, convincing me of the game’s

Cor blimey is the OST good Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I don’t often replay games, and if I do, it is because they are good. To complete NieR: Automata, you need to replay the game three times. Normally, I’d hate

With Dragon Age Day coming up, I thought now would be the perfect time to share a cosplay that I’m still not convinced is a still from an unannounced film that doesn’t really exist. There are so many amazing characters in the Dragon Age-verse, and some not-so-amazing ones, but in the spirit of sharing something

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Baba Is You. You control Baba. Cute lil pixely pal Baba. In the first level, you’re given some pretty simple prompts. Baba Is You, Rock is Push, Flag is Win, and Wall is Stop. Thankfully, these

After a bunch of sales on legend, charm, and weapon cosmetics, the festivities are truly ramping up. Apex Legends’ winter event, Holo-Day Bash, is back with exclusive skins and collectibles as well as the staple limited time mode: Winter Express. In line with the holiday cheer, sales will continue and rare cosmetics (like last week’s beautiful

Nice guy Medjay. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. If there’s one thing you should know about my gaming habits it’s that I unironically bloody love me some Assassin’s Creed. That means the older sneaky-stabby AC and the more modern shouty-pillage fests

If you’re a Hibana fan, this Rainbow Six Siege statue is a must-have, but it’s going to cost you more than just a pretty penny. Whether you’re an avid collector or looking for a nice gift for the gamer in your life, this collectible is a fine addition from PureArts Studio.  The 1:4 scale Hibana
