Star Ocean! Little Devil Inside! Other stuff! Everything as it happened.
Suffice to say, video game crossovers can be pretty bogus outside of the Super Smash Bros. series. But putting Donnie Darko stuff in Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War takes the cake. This might be the single most ridiculous mash-up I’ve ever seen. The whole thing is so stupid that I’m ironically coming…
The year is winding down, but that doesn't mean some of the biggest companies in the industry don't have a few announcements to make. Sony is the latest publisher to announce a new digital showcase in today's State of Play, and as always, what's a live event without your friends at Game Informer? We're watching along live today starting at 3:45 p.m. CT, and we hope you join us for all the fun.
Click here to watch embedded mediaAs with most State of Play showcases, we know very little about what we're actually going to see today, but that doesn't mean we aren't in for a treat. Sony has confirmed that the games we will see today are of the third-party variety that will be coming to both PlayStation 4 and PS5 at some point. But that's not at all, as the PlayStation Twitter account also tweeted that we're going to finally get another look at Little Devil Inside. Developer Neostream Interactive's quirky-looking survival title was one of the games that stole the show during its announcement on the Sony digital stage last year and has since disappeared as the studio continues the game's development. It's exciting to finally see Little Devil Inside, but what else will be there at today's showcase, and who will be there to watch it?
Darkest Dungeon II is nothing if not evocative—a positive quirk it shares with the first game. When my party reaches the Mountain at its heart, they are brought low. This place has haunted their dreams for weeks—a different configuration for each of them.
2021 may have kicked off with a slower-than-usual start thanks to numerous big delays, but that doesn't mean we still haven't been treated to a fair share of quality releases. Whether you're looking to get the most of out of your PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S or still enjoying your PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, or PC, we've evaluated many of 2021's most noteworthy games to help guide you towards the best of the best. What highly anticipated games met our expectations? Which under-the-radar indies deserve your attention? You can find the answers to those questions right here.
Below you'll find a list of the top scoring games of 2021, beginning with the top scorer and going down. Any game that scores between a 10 and an 8.5 makes the cut. Each entry also features a small blurb and a link to the full review. We'll update the list with eligible titles as the year progresses, so be sure to bookmark this page if you ever need recommendations on what to play next. Have fun!

Superliminal, the acclaimed perspective puzzler from developer Pillow Castle, is introducing an "experimental" battle-royale-style multiplayer mode in a free update on Steam next week.
In its original, single-player-only guise, Superliminal took players on a brain-flexing first-person journey through the SomnaSculpt dream therapy programme, in which the environment - and objects within it - could gain hitherto unseen properties by manipulating perspective.
Following recent reports that Warner Bros. was working on a platform fighting game similar to Super Smash Bros. called Multiversus, a possible roster for the project featuring characters from Batman, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and more appears to have leaked online.

Genshin Impact was definitely not a game in which I expected to find great roguelike gameplay. Its open world design (which was frequently compared to Breath of the Wild at launch) seemed antithetical to the restrictive conditions of an interesting roguelike. I’m glad to find that I was very, very wrong. The new…
Today third-party developers had more interesting news to share about upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator scenery.
First of all, we hear from FlyTampa, which revealed Aerolimenas Kerkiras Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport (LGKR) in Corfu, Greece with a couple of charming images.
It’s certainly another charming Holiday destination that will be quite welcome in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Speaking of Greece, we also hear that Athens International Airport (LGAV) is currently in beta, so it should come soon enough.

Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline earlier this month, a massive PvP shooter, leading many to believe that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint had reached its end, but it seems there’s still some ammo left in Breakpoint’s magazine.
That ammo is called Operation Motherland, and it’s basically a brand new campaign for Breakpoint coming out November 2. Set a few months after the end of the original story, Nomad is no longer on Auroa but now the island has become a strategic target for multiple countries interested in making it their own.

When I woke up today, I expected my kitchen to be a mess because I binged The Morning Show instead of cleaning it last night. Despite it already being Wednesday, I was also prepared to be overwhelmed by the truckload of tasks I have yet to cross off my to-do list this week. What I was not ready for was Pixar releasing …
A colossal player in the realm of music is making its app debut on PlayStation 5 today. You may have heard of it. It’s a little service called Apple Music.
Announced on the PlayStation Blog today, the release of Apple Music on the PS5 makes Sony’s flagship gaming device the very first console “to introduce an integrated Apple Music experience.” You’re not limited to just the collection of music you’ve purchased over the years. The app features all of Apple Music's music curation, playlists, and radio stations, but sadly doesn't include podcasts. Here’s what users can expect from the Apple Music app:
“Starting today, PS5 users with an Apple Music subscription can enjoy more than 90 million songs from Apple Music, tens of thousands of curated playlists, music videos in 4K, Apple Music Radio streaming today’s hits, classics, and country live, and personalized playlists based on your music preferences.”
All of the music can be listened to in the background while playing games, so if you want to turn a game’s music down and make your own playlist, in a way, you can. Or by finding the Music Function card on the PS5 Control Center, Apple Music subscribers can “find recommendations that match the game they are currently playing, or choose from a playlist in their library or other Apple Music-curated playlists for gaming.”

Earlier this week, Twitch streamer Dylan “Rudeism” Beck blew our minds by beating Dark Souls III using a single-button setup to hammer out Morse code. It’s an impressive feat to be sure and one that also touches on something Rudeism is quite passionate about: accessibility in games.
In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings, but in Darkest Dungeon 2 goodness me you'll hear about everyone's failings constantly. The horrific dungeon-crawling sequel entered early access yesterday, and my initial impression is that I'm surrounded by squabbling children. Managing the stress of your heroes is more important than ever, because if anyone is even mildly irked they will interrupt every fight to shout about how their squadmate is a kill-stealing dick. I'm this close to turning the stagecoach back around and embracing the impending apocalypse.

Back 4 Blood appears to be a success for Turtle Rock Studios, as over 6 million people have played it since its launch on October 12.
Developed by some developers that created the Left 4 Dead franchise that Back 4 Blood is very clearly inspired by, it tasks players with cleaning up the Ridden, which are basically zombies. There are all different sorts of Ridden to take out across its multiple acts. It seems many people are enjoying being a part of the Ridden cleanup crew, too.

Square Enix's series of Final Fantasy pixel remasters continues on 10th November with the arrival of Final Fantasy 5 on Steam and mobile devices.
Final Fantasy 5, which originally released back in 1992, follows the adventures of a wanderer named Bartz and his trusty Chocobo who, as Square puts it in its announcement, "find themselves drawn toward friends that will change their destiny."

Listen. Outside your window, the chill wind chuckles in raspy glee at autumn’s death rattle. The branches of dying trees rake their gnarled fingers against the glass. You are spooked. You turn to the warm glow of your monitor for comfort. Instead, you find the most terrifying thing imaginable: an unpopular opinion about a videogame. On the internet, no less. You blink and rub your eyes in disbelief. Still, the words remain. Stark. Unforgiving. Undeniably spicy: “Resident Evil Village was disappointing and its success does not bode well for the future of survival horror.”
You go to type a comment but, uh, your fingers are gone, or something. Just hear me out.
Apple Music has officially launched for the PlayStation 5, making it the first console to feature the music streaming service since Apple launched it.
As announced in an article on the PlayStation Blog, starting today PlayStation users with an Apple Music subscription will be able to stream music directly from their PlayStation 5.
Through the Apple Music app, players will be able to listen to music both in the PlayStation 5 menus and during gameplay. According to the blog post, in addition to being able to listen to their own playlists and over 90 million different songs, Apple Music subscribers will also be able to find recommendations for playlists that match the games they're currently playing as well as a range of music videos that can be streamed in 4k.
The addition of Apple Music to the PlayStation 5 only helps to bolster the current roster of media apps on the console and strengthen its ability to act as an all-in-one home entertainment system. The music streaming service joins a host of third-party apps including the likes of Twitch, YouTube, Apple TV+ and Netflix.

The legendary Persona composer has resigned and will pursue his long-time dream of developing indie games instead.

Everyone knows that Ubisoft games are full of things to do. In Far Cry 6, there’s a lot to see, too. To wit: Last night, while exploring the open-world shooter’s El Este region, I stumbled upon what I’m pretty sure—like, 99 percent sure—is a reference to 2016’s Far Cry Primal, the series spinoff set in the Stone Age.
