GTA V turned 10 today and Rockstar shared nothing on a tentative GTA 6 release date. But I’m sure GTA VI is just around the corner. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has pointed out the challenges of GTA essentially sharing how GTA 6 must be ‘something that no one has ever seen before’ and that it should ‘seek nothing short of perfection.’ GTA 5 has over 185 million copies sold till August 2023, raking in $1 billion in the first 3 days. GTA Online, released in 2013, clocked an average player count of 150k in August 2023. Can GTA VI do…

Few gaming franchises have a cult following 30 years on and still top charts. Mortal Kombat started back in 1992. This is 2023. We’ve shifted from arcades to PCs and consoles. But it’s still Mortal Kombat and NetherRealm Studios names this new addition to the series Mortal Kombat 1. It’s a restart, a much needed one, a welcome one and so far, a good one too. Mortal Kombat 1 Patch Notes Updates and Early Review Mortal Kombat 1 will officially release on 19th September but the game’s available to Premium Edition and Kollector’s Edition buyers since the 12th.

A franchise for hardcore fighting game crazies, Mortal Kombat is back, and it’s ticked all the right boxes. So much so that I don’t remember a game doing this well right from Early Access ever before. What makes it all tick is the new, revamped, refurbished, and rechanneled Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay mechanics. Nothing else matters more for a fighting game than this but MK1 has scored at least 9 out of 10 already based on just fan response and it’s already gunning for GoTY. Here’s a brief look into MK1’s gameplay features, the hits, and the misses (there are…

Gaming has transformed into a cinematic experience with the sheer demand for more and even more immersion. DBH is an example of a game that has pushed the boundaries of experiential gaming, where you are on a journey in a parallel universe, almost living with the character you play in the game. This is where gameplay mechanics take the co-pilot’s seat, and you are instead guided by the game on a cinematic multi-dimensional level. Years on, DBH is still being discovered as a masterpiece, a one-of-a-kind gaming experience that trumps the more popular titles and brings non-gamers into a story-driven…

DayZ is set in an apocalyptic zombie-filled world where you team up with strangers in the multiplayer-only game while trying to survive against zombies, even more zombies, wild animals, hunger, and thirst.

And while DayZ is great, it gets monotonous after a while. Here are 9 games like DayZ that stick to either survival or multiplayer or both and deliver their unique gaming experiences but on the…

Survival horror games are popping up every week. Few leave a mark. Fewer make you complete a playthrough. Unlike The Forest. You see, we are in a constant pursuit of more, and by ‘we’, I mean gamers like us. We want an ultra-realistic gaming experience that’s as IRL as a game can possibly deliver. The Forest comes really really close. You’re flanked by 2 cannibals and you’re waiting for them to pounce. You have an axe in your hand and you’ve dealt with the creatures 1v1 and won. In any other game, you’d be in combat, and chances are you’d…

Dark and Darker has everything going for it and it should. It seems Ironmace has found the sweet spot between game system depth and RT gameplay. Every skill, perk, item, and your skills as the player matter. IMO – Dark and Darker classes may be the best character customization I’ve seen in any game. More is not always merrier and striking this balance between efficacy and variability is what makes this game currently one of the best around in the dungeon crawling, ARPG, PvPvE genre. Let’s go deep. Dark and Darker Classes Overview It’s clear right here which classes are…
