On first glance, Nioh does not seem remarkable. A generic looking action RPG in the vein of Dark Souls, Nioh seems more like a lost Playstation 2 curiosity than a killer AAA exclusive. Ignoring it would be a terrible mistake though. Nioh is one of the best action titles in years, packed with exciting combat and genuine heart.

I like plenty of things about Final Fantasy 15, but the map and menus are not among them. This game's interface is a mess of nonsense so carelessly taped together that it defies logic or comprehension.

Ubisoft advertised For Honor, released this week, as a game about skewering enemies with medieval weaponry. Man, did they bury the lede on this one. A few days in, I've discovered what For Honor really is, and it is undoubtedly a game about pushing people off ledges and laughing.

Resident Evil 7's most distressing horror technique is not a well placed jump scare or dangerous boss encounter. It's the teeth. Those terrifying, perfect teeth. Thanks to series producer Masachika Kawata, we finally know what the deal is with everyone's stellar dental work.

For Honor is a satisfying, layered fighting game that relies on "feel". You're fundamentally not going to get good at it unless you successfully program reactions to quick animation cues into your fingers. Without practising the basics, you'll be blocking and dodging like an idiot, totally unprepared for whatever this game's meta will become.

If you've been wondering how the singleplayer portion of Ubisoft's viking-samurai-swordsman brawler For Honor will shape up, here's Ubisoft with a couple of hours of gameplay.

Resident Evil 7 was a watershed moment for the series that reinvigorated the languishing franchise. Series producer Masachika Kawata told us how the team over at Capcom brought the series home again.

A new 10GB patch for Ubisoft's Watch Dogs 2 fixes bugs, adds new clothing, tweaks some systems and primes the game for some downloadable expansions, but it also adds a mysterious conversation to the game's final cutscene. That's got people guessing, since game endings don't usually get patched.

Games have a zombie problem. They can be your basic slow shamblers or your fast berserkers, but whatever variation appears in a game, zombies are little more than mindless pinatas meant to be killed in large numbers. Zombies are rarely a challenge to fight on an intellectual level, and an enemy that doesn't get players thinking isn't an enemy worth fighting. So how do you make zombies interesting? Capcom's Dead Rising 2 offered an interesting solution: Add a timer to the mix.
