While I’m sitting in the waiting area, obviously very excited to get my hands on Doom Eternal, I can’t help but feel somewhat pessimistic about the experience. On the one hand, I’m fairly confident that Eternal will be an exceedingly well-made game, id Software has yet to let me down. Yet on the other, I’m painfully aware of the huge …

In the year of our lord Rodney Mullen that is 2019, skateboarding will live again next month when Session does a gnarly nosegrind into Steam’s Early Access. A spiritual successor to Skate in the controls department, Session will feature “true stance-stick controls” that allow you to access each of the appendages that you use to control your falling (or walk, as most call it) as you pull off some rad tricks around New York City brah.

You can’t blame most people for not having played The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. The original Gameboy adventure launched all the way back in 1993, garnering a cult following since thanks to its weird character inclusions from across the Nintendo spectrum and quirky tone.

With an April 2020 release date on the horizon, it's great to have a better idea of what type of game Cyberpunk 2077 is shaping up to be. It's easy to be reductive and call it a prettier immersive sim in the vein on Deus Ex, but it's looking to introduce a far more fleshed out paths for you to play the way you want, when you want.

DOOM Eternal looks exactly like what you’d want from a sequel to the 2016 reboot: just, well, more DOOM. There’s demons galore, Hella dn Heaven and more sequences for Doomguy to just steal the show, making it seems like very few changes have made it in.

With Super Mario Maker 2 on the horizon, Switch owners can be guaranteed that they’ll not only be able to make their own courses, but they’ll have a near infinite supply of easily sorted levels from creators around the world.
