Metaphor: ReFantazio feels like a JRPG free from restraint and sanity

If you’ve been itching for a new Persona game, this is probably going to be your jam.

Atlus' giant fantasy RPG 'Metaphor: ReFantazio' has been a long time in the making. After rolling through a demo at Summer Game Fest last weekend, I’m dying to play it.

Phoenix Springs offers breathtaking beauty in a desolate neo-noir world

I desperately want to play all of it, right now.

Take me back.

Skate Story hands-on: Kick, push, shatter

Repeat.

Skate Story encourages you to enter a peak state early on, only so you can chase that feeling the rest of the game.

PlayStation is leaning into fun and it feels fantastic.

The biggest threat to Marvel Rivals is all the other rival team shooters

It’s a fun but hectic team-shooter in a hectic genre.

Marvel Rivals pits its greatest heroes against each other and it’s a lot of fun. It’s also a familiar kind of fun if you’ve ever played Overwatch.
