Legacy of Kain: Ascendance – Official Announcement Trailer – YouTube Watch On I first played a Legacy of Kain game when Soul Reaver came out, which at the time was considered a Tomb Raider for goths, only with better controls and some annoying block-pushing puzzles. It was the atmosphere that sold it rather than the genre—so dark and portentous it could shit bats.Which is why I’m not bothered to see the newly announced Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is changing genres and will instead be a pixel-art 2D action-platformer with a story told in the visual novel-style, with some first-person 3D…

The glory days of gross-out video game PR stunts are long behind us, sadly. If and when we do get a Resident Evil 6 remake, it’s unlikely Capcom will serve it with a side of human-flavored sausages. PlayStation doesn’t even hold ocean-hopping destination press events anymore, never mind ones where they can sacrifice a live animal for tech bloggers.

Blizzard Showcase brought together the four key titles – Overwatch, Diablo, World of Warcraft, and Hearthstone – and gave the space to bring their updates, announcements (and some surprises!) in their own ways.

Cassette Boy is a puzzle RPG for the Nintendo Switch. It features a top-down perspective, ticklish brain teasers, and a pixel-based world. Is it worth exploring? The story follows the adventures of an unnamed character who looks away from the moon, causing it to disappear. Your goal is to set things right again. The entire premise of Cassette Boy is centered around this concept of “if you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist”.  What this mantra means in practice is that when an enemy is covered by an object, it’s no longer there, allowing you to safely walk by. Our…

And you should do it before it’s gone.All you have to do is help the holiday NPC Astrid by successfully decorating five overly extravagant cakes in time for the annual “Valentione’s Day” celebration. The instanced task is available to solo players, pre-made parties, or matched with strangers. I know it doesn’t sound like the usual high-stakes affair that’s suitable for Warriors…
