When it comes to Killing Floor 3, I keep asking myself, “Where’s the rest of it?” I’ve been collaborating with waves of mutant clone zombies for the past week, and it was a lot of joy to aimlessly hack and slash at these Zeds. However, my coworkers and I frequently asked each other, “Is this the final release, or is it just Early Access?” Many of us, including myself, enjoyed Killing Floor 2. In addition to being a lot simpler, more tightly-woven shoot-em-up than its predecessors, Killing Floor 3’s single Survival mode is generally enjoyable, regardless of whether you enjoy…
Now is a fantastic moment to be a soulslike fan. We have been feasting well in 2025 thanks to the amazing The First Berserker: Khazan earlier in the year, the great Lies of P: Overture DLC last month, and the multiplayer/co-op-focused Elden Ring: Nightreign. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is just one more course in that menu. The thrilling, quick-paced, and dynamic combat in this Leenzee Games debut game immediately won me over. Along with one of the best skill trees in the genre, it features a complex and connected level design that leads us through both grotesque sights and beautiful vistas…
Good news, fans of action movies from the 1980s: RoboCop is still in the business of blowing the brains and balls off of bad dudes, and it’s still unfinished. RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is a stand-alone follow-up to 2023’s entertainingly realistic RoboCop: Rogue City. It takes Robo’s unrelenting rampage from the filthy streets of Old Detroit and up through the tightly guarded heights of OMNI Tower in a brand-new, 10-hour killing spree. The bad news is that Unfinished Business’s action never really rises to the level of its setting’s upward trajectory or sets itself apart as anything more…
Since the game’s February release, Capcom has kept improving Monster Hunter Wilds, and in a recent Guild Report, it’s responding to one particular criticism: players’ anxiety over losing out on limited-time stuff. Capcom stated on X/Twitter that it had been asked to allow hunting of time-limited Arch-tempered beasts permanently. The developer is responding by making it possible to hunt the battles with Arch-tempered Rey Dau and Uth Duna indefinitely. Arch-tempered Rey Dau will be accessible permanently starting on July 23rd, coinciding with the advent of Festival of Accord: Flamefete. (Capcom is aware that the current event quest will expire on…
In the graphic novel Cult of the Lab: The First Verse, the well-liked Cult of the Lamb franchise has just made the transition to comics. Gamextacan exclusively previews Cult of the Lamb: Schism Special #1, the next installment in the Cult of the Lamb Saga, ahead of San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The 48-page one-shot comic Cult of the Lamb: Schism Special #1 brings together the creative team from The First Verse, which includes artist Troy Little (Rick and Morty vs. Cthulu) and writer Alex Paknadel (Red Goblin). Once more, the development studio Massive Monster, game publisher Devolver Digital, and comic…

My group of gaming friends is a mixed bunch. Some are fellow game writers, some I’ve known for two decades, and others are friends of friends. We all enjoy different genres and approach gaming from unique perspectives. So when we all get hooked on the same game, it usually means there’s something special going on—something that resonates across our various tastes. Initially, they joined me in playing Mecha Break because I asked them to. Now, they’re the ones messaging me to get online. In just a week, Mecha Break has become one of our go-to multiplayer games—and there’s a good…
For those who own a Nintendo Switch 2, this is the first of many months in which we will analyze the issues affecting Nintendo’s potent new hybrid system. Naturally, June set the standard high when it came to the console’s launch, selling out almost immediately, and bringing a plethora of third-party games, Switch 2 Editions of popular games like Tears of the Kingdom, and even a brand-new Mario Kart. July isn’t slowing down, though. With significant first-party debuts and other surprises, early adopters are already anticipating another successful month. Overview of Switch 2 Games in July 2025 There Will Be…
In short clips and GIFs, MindsEye may appear to be an exciting action-adventure that is similar to Grand Theft Auto, but when the game is played through to the end, it is shown to be an unfinished, overly ambitious project that suffers from performance issues, uses its open world sparingly, and is hampered by unconvincing combat and boring mission design. Although similarities to Grand Theft Auto are inevitable, MindsEye is more like the Mafia series in essence. In other words, it’s a single-player, strictly linear game in which you drive from mission to mission through the open globe. That doesn’t…
Hello, have you ever regretted anything in your life? The Alters is aware that you do, which is why its science fiction tale of dubious cloning on an extremely hostile extraterrestrial world resonates. It’s like a playable Black Mirror episode (not that one), where technology has gone haywire and we can now communicate with our past selves who chose a different path than we did. The question then arises: what if some of those individuals despise you? Furthermore, what if all of this is the result of corporate exploitation or a crazy scientist? It’s an efficient pressure cooker of environmental…
