There is no shortage of Souls-like titles on the market these days to get your fix of tough boss fights and skill-reliant gameplay, so new offerings need some special sauce to help set them apart. This time, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the new souls game on the block and manages to provide more than just a Chinese aesthetic twist to the formula. | Irrational Passions
With gorgeous artwork and a tale rooted in Eastern mysticism, Bandai Namco aims to break into the roguelite genre with their upcoming Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree, developed by Brownies Inc. During Game Days at Summer Games Fest, I had the privilege of checking out a behind-closed-doors hands-on demo of this upcoming…| Irrational Passions
One of my favorite things to do at gaming shows is to simply meander around and see what surprises and discoveries I stumble on. During Summer Games Fest’s Game Days, I had a little time between appointments and got to exploring and came across Spine, a cyberpunk action title that is currently in alpha. I…| Irrational Passions
When Control released back in the summer of 2019, my friends and I fell in love with the wild oddities and mysteries of the Oldest House. Now, as we wait patiently for its follow-up, Control 2, Remedy has released FBC: Firebreak, a new co-op experience that lets players dive back into the house — this time with friends. While the concept is exciting, the game as it currently stands is a bit rough around the black rock’s edges.| Irrational Passions
For fans of soulslike games, there is no shortage of studios that are looking to put their own spin on the popular genre, vying for attention. Announced back in 2021, developer Leenzee is close to releasing their take on the soulslike with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and during Games Days at Summer Games Fest, I had…| Irrational Passions
The original Onimusha is one of the first games that I played back on the PlayStation 2 that genuinely felt next-gen. Characters like Samonosuke looked like actual people, not just clumps of polygons. Monsters were terrifying and emotive, and the backgrounds (at the time) I thought were photographs of real places. I loved each new…| Irrational Passions
It has been four years since Capcom first pulled back the curtains on their brand new IP, Pragmata. Details have been scarce up until recently, but finally, at Summer Games Fest this year, players got a much better look at Diana and Hugh and what to expect in terms of gameplay. In addition to a…| Irrational Passions
I think it is safe to say that Capcom has claimed the crown for the King of Q1 when it comes to releasing powerhouse titles to start off the new year. This year, it was Monster Hunter Wilds, last year Dragon’s Dogma 2, and before that, the Resident Evil 4 remake. I could go on, and we already know what the game will be for 2026! Debatably, the biggest announcement to come out of Summer Games Fest this year was Capcom’s big reveal of the next entry in their Resident Evil series with Reside...| Irrational Passions
Deep in the farthest reaches of space, a clash of cosmic proportions is taking place, where teams of contenders face off against one another in a bid to claim planets and power, when the dust settles, will you be the conqueror or the conquered? This is Alpha Clash: Cosmic Conquest. Launching tomorrow on Kickstarter, Cosmic Conquest, published by Rising Empire Studios, was kind enough to send me a prototype copy to check out. As this was a prototype, components, and rules are all subject to ch...| Irrational Passions
As someone who was born in the late 80s and grew up in the 90s, to say that I was a fan of Power Rangers would be a gratuitous understatement. From the toys to pajamas, bed sheets to Halloween costumes, I devoured everything that those teenagers with attitudes adorned. Fast forward a couple of decades—okay, more like a few—and those colored spandex-wearing heroes still hold a precious place in my heart. So when I first discovered and tried Renegade’s Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid bo...| Irrational Passions
