Elderand First Look Video

Dishonored – The Knife of Dunwall

Dishonored – The Knife of Dunwall

The Knife of Dunwall is a welcome return to the world of Dishonored, but players are treated to Daud’s point of view this time. Dishonored veterans will remember Daud as the legendary assassin who killed the Empress, but this DLC shows a different side to him. As with the original game, players can cause as much chaos as they want or go for a more stealthy approach. Both offer a lot of fun, but being stealthy is definitely a lot more rewarding. The cautious approach also allows players to savor the relatively brief experience a bit longer. Fans of Dishonored will love The Knife of Dunwall, but it doesn’t offer anything radically new, and it does feel like half a game due to the abrupt ending.

Gameplay: Whether killing everyone in sight or trying never to be seen, The Knife of Dunwall offers a fun and rewarding experience.

Graphics: The visuals show their age, but the unique art style makes up for technical shortcomings.

Sound: The audio is once again excellent, but some of the dialogue between guards is repeated a little too often for our liking

It Takes Two

It Takes Two

It Takes Two is a 3D platformer that has been built from the ground up to be a cooperative experience. It tells the heartfelt story of two people who are on the brink of divorce when they are thrown together for the adventure of a lifetime. The fantastic levels, innovative gameplay, and constant surprises make It Takes Two one of the most memorable titles in the genre and, without a doubt, one of the best co-op games of all time.

Gameplay: Along with traditional platforming and puzzle solving, each section of It Takes Two introduces new gameplay elements.

Graphics: The character designs are top-notch, and the levels are some of the most imaginative in the genre.

Sound: The stellar voice acting and great sound design make It Takes Two feel like a blockbuster movie instead of a game at times

Nex Machina

Nex Machina

Nex Machina is an intense twin-stick shooter that is challenging yet accessible. While the game only features six worlds, it has plenty of modes to lure players back in. The action is over the top, and once players learn how to increase their score multiplier and string together combos for rescuing humans, the real fun begins. Unsurprisingly for a game that benefited from the input of Eugene Jarvis, Nex Machina is a blast to play from start to finish and definitely scratches that old-school shooter itch.

Gameplay: The game can be unforgiving, but players willing to get good are in for a blast.

Graphics: The voxel visuals and great use of color make Nex Machina a good-looking game.

Sound: The soundtrack is a great match for the arcade-style action, and the announcer is a nice throwback to the arcade days
