Onimusha: Way of the Sword is finally out, and if you were considering picking it up – you should! It’s great, and you can read why in my review for Game Informer here. Now, if you’ve read any reviews for the game, or even previews leading up to its launch, you’ve likely heard about its difficulty, particularly its boss fights. While standard mob enemies have you feeling powerful, bosses absolutely put you in your place. There’s one boss I died more than a dozen times trying to defeat. But, if that scares you, don’t let it. Onimusha: Way of the Sword features the…

Last month, we traveled to Austin, Texas to play Exodus, a promising sci-fi RPG made by former Mass Effect developers. We cover a lot of ground in our exclusive 14-page cover story, including several missions of hands-on gameplay, but the piece ends with impressions of a mission set on Khonsu. It’s an orbital platform above Lidon, the game’s home world, and it’s home to a society of giant talking frogs. In other words, it was a highlight of the demo.Today, I (Charles Harte) am joined by senior associate editor Marcus Stewart as I finally get to show off the sequence…

Join Us made a splash when it debuted during Xbox’s June 2026 Showcase. The zany cult-leader simulator puts you in charge of your own chapter of a widespread doomsday cult, tasking you with establishing your compound and wreaking havoc in the small town in which you establish your home. I spent about 45 minutes learning the ropes and toying around with the strange sandbox title and now, I’m excited to start my own chapter.After customizing my cult with a logo, color scheme, uniform, and naming convention (I opted to have my members named after inanimate objects rather than numbers or…

Gundam Rogue Orbit is launching into action on March 5, 2027.After the protagonist pilot is rescued, adrift in space, they’re brought in to pilot the Gundam and battle strange new foes.

The Bandai Namco team…

It also included a surprise – Jin Sakai, protagonist of Ghost of Tsushima, will be playable in the Most Wanted, the roguelike mode. It’s become something of a tradition for PlayStation’s first-party games to get roguelike DLC after launch. It happened with The Last of US Part II, God of War: Ragnarök got a new story called Valhalla, and now…
