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.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess feels as luscious as it looks

After playing for nearly an hour at Summer Game Fest, it’s clear that Kunitsu-Gami is much more than a beautiful screenshot.

Skydance's Behemoth brings giant climbable monster fights to VR

Crow Country is a darkly meditative callback to survival horror’s past

Inspired by some genre-defining PS1 classics, Crow Country is a force all its own.

Crow Country, which was released on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S on May 9, just about checks all the boxes for survival horror, but it takes a gentler approach to the genre, making it feel more like a test of mental endurance than a fight for your life.
