• Biomutant Remains Impressively Odd, One Gamescom After Its Debut

  23-08-2018 23:45
  Just over a year ago, I saw Experiment 101’s Biomutant at its first Gamescom demo. I was immediately taken in by its oddball take on the open-world action-RPG, and I was looking forward to its 2018 release. Well, that planned release date has slipped into 2019, but my enthusiasm for the so-called post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable hasn’t waned. If anything, the demo I got during this year’s Gamescom has fully renewed that excitement.The latest demo highlighted some elements that we

• Just Cause 4's New Tools Offer Insane Possibilities

  23-08-2018 22:50
  I spent countless hours in Just Cause 3 and it’s subsequent DLCs doing little more than wingsuiting around, blowing up bridges and messing with the physics engine.

If the number of times I found myself ugly-laughing as the newly-redesigned Apex engine worked its magic in my recent hands-on demo was any indi
