In the past few years, Dragon Ball Z games have been consistently great titles. Xenoverse 2 mastered the feel of Dragon Ball combat and combined it with endlessly customizable movesets, while FighterZ is one of the best fighting games currently on the market that still maintains a stunning visual style. Now, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot represents an imperfect yet very satisfying retelling of the classic Z-saga in an action-RPG format that merges stripped-down Xenoverse-style combat with a faithful recreation of the tale everyone knows and loves....

It’s easy to look at Dragon Ball Z Kakarot and think, “Haven’t we seen this story told before?” There are a number of Dragon Ball Z games that have taken the position of telling the Frieza saga through over-the-top fights and having the art style resemble the anime show as close as possible. However, Kakarot is one of the first modern takes on having a solo, action role-playing game that focuses its attention on the fans....

Techland is back once again with Dying Light 2, the sequel to 2017’s parkour x zombie-killing action RPG. The virus has successfully destroyed civilization and humankind finds itself cast back to primitive times, with The City — one of the last major human settlements — on the brink of collapse. Survivors are divided and it’s up to you as protagonist Aiden to shape the future of The City and determine the balance of power....

The original Dying Light was beloved for its entertaining sandbox gameplay, but there are a host of new layers being added to the experience for its sequel as showcased in a new video published by Techland today. In an unexpectedly detailed and un-edited overview, we’re shown a wide range of different skills from Dying Light 2’s progression tree. As you’ll see below, Dying Light 2 follows the same blueprint as many other similar games in its genre, offering dozens of different upgradeable skills across combat and parkour categories....

Say what you want about leaks, so long as you agree that they can kinda suck. Capcom’s big surprise reveal of new characters for Street Fighter V was cut short recently. Three new characters were on their way, but before the developer could even break the bottle on the ship, the internet found them out. Regardless, the cats are out of the bag now, and Capcom has confirmed the leaked fighters in a new trailer....

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a game that wasn’t designed for all gamers. Instead, when the team was assembled to make it, the focus was to create a game where the creative process drove the design of the game and not requirements for certain aspects of gameplay. In this way, El Shaddai is more of a unique experience than it is a traditional game. In El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, seven of God’s angels known as The Watchers were tasked with observing God’s flock....

E3 2020 has been canceled, a major blow for the trade show that could have long-lasting effects on how the games industry conducts business and markets its products to gamers in the future. In the short term, the big question on people’s minds is how this decision will affect the next-gen platforms and games set to release at the end of 2020. The answer might not be as murky or apocalyptic as you think....

Annual gaming convention E3 will expand and rebrand next year, as it tries to lean even more into becoming a show for consumers. The ESA, who puts on E3, hopes to make the upcoming E3 2020 more of a festival, with the addition of celebrities, influencers, and more non-press attendees. Each year in June, thousands of video game press gather at the Los Angeles Convention Center for E3. The expo started two decades ago as a site for press conferences where big publishers could give forecasts to the press who would then publish the information for fans....

The mystic world of Lands Between is filled with intriguing characters throughout your journey. My personal favorite was Alexander until Boc, the Seamster dropped in. He is a demi-monkey that can alter your equipment for free. But Boc is tricked by some clod (idiot), as he changes him into a tree. So, here’s our guide on how to complete the questline for Boc in Elden Ring. How to Complete the Boc Questline in Elden Ring?...

Elden Ring’s late-game bosses are tough, so what better way to ease the pain of FromSoftware latest epic than by cutting out the middle man and getting one boss to fight another boss on your behalf?

Gaming keyboards are usually pricey affairs, and unless you’re a real pro, the price tag tends not to be worth it. There are always cheap options available to PC gamers but, conversely, these usually lack those little extras that can make gaming more pleasurable. In this feature we’re looking at two new keyboards aimed squarely at the budget gamer from Element Gaming: the mega budget Thorium 100 and the slightly more pricey 300, which really is aimed squarely at gamers....

Epic Games is capable of transporting us to the dystopian future-past of Planet Sera in Gears of War, as well as making numbers and words literally fly directly out of people’s heads in the highly anticipated Bulletstorm. There still remains one necromantic skill they have yet to master: predicting the videogame graphics landscape for the next generation of consoles. On the subject of the Unreal Engine 4 and its future, Epic Games’ President Mike Capps told Edge:...

Epic Games has long been attempting to attract consumers over to its platform from Steam, but they seem to have issues with meeting the goals set forth in their own roadmap. These goals range from quality of life improvements that some consumers consider essential, such as reliable Cloud Saves, to the implementation of a shopping cart in the store. Some may not mind, or even notice, that Epic has missed its own goals, but others are keeping a close eye....

At the fighting tournament last weekend, the EVO organisers pranked the audience and set up a clip showing a codec conversation between Tekken 7 producer Katsuhiro Harada and Metal Gear’s Solid Snake. After a boisterous buzz of speculation that Solid Snake could be a new fighter coming to Tekken 7, EVO apologised on Twitter for the wind up and called it, ‘our idea of a little joke.’ Unfortunately, not everyone thought the same....

Ever since its release two weeks ago, F1 2021 players have been yearning for a patch. Despite it being a good racing game, Codemaster’s latest installment in their Formula 1 series has its fair share of bugs. Various stability issues can prevent players from enjoying their time playing, especially in multiplayer. Thankfully, the game’s first major patch was just released amending many of these issues. For clarity, patch 1.05 is not a content patch....
