Highguard Flops: When Free to Play is Still Too Expensive

There’s hype. Then there’s Highguard...the game that somehow closed out The Game Awards 2025 in the best reveal slot only to deliver one of the most unhyped receptions in recent gaming memory. What could have been a triumphant showcase for basically any other game became a collective eyeroll, meme fodder, and (hilariously) a “Concord 2: Electric Boogaloo” moment for the already oversaturated hero shooter genre. But let’s start with the basics: Highguard is yet another free-to-play hero shooter born from a questionable team with credits on games like Titanfall and Apex Legends, landing what they really really wanted to be the industry’s “next big thing” moment,  only to be greeted with blank stares and memes questioning why this game was even the finale. I mean, you had a new Mega Man game announcement...and if you showed Mega Man Dual Override in Highguard's spot […]

Demonologist v2 Update is Here! Notes and Cursed Chapel Guide

Demonologist v2 Update Is Massive…With a Few Issues After a bit of radio silence, Demonologist just dropped Update v2 and hell yeah - it’s a big one. New game engine, revamped visuals, a brand-spankin' new map, over 190 new jump scare sequences, and enough lighting changes to make even familiar maps feel like they’re actively plotting against you. On paper, this is Demonologist’s biggest leap forward yet. In practice? It mostly delivers, but not without tripping over a few big issues that the community has been begging to see fixed for way too long. Let’s talk about what v2.0.0 does right…and where it still drops the cockroach out of the EMF reader. Unreal Engine 5.6 and Lumen: Is it Worth It? The jump from Unreal Engine 5.3 to 5.6 is the backbone of this update, and visually, it shows. The addition […]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review and Drama

A New RPG King is Crowned If you’re a fan of classics like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn’t just another RPG - it’s the RPG that finally feels like a real successor to those legends. From the moment it’s booted up to the last credit roll, this game hits all the notes we crave: deep story, awesome characters, gorgeous visuals, insane builds, and a soundtrack that actually deserves a spot on your daily playlist. And the absolute kicker? A tiny indie studio like Landfall Interactive made it...which makes its domination of The Game Awards (a record haul, by the way) feel like sweet, sweet poetic justice. But of course, the haters showed up too, complaining about AI art use and dragging the title into petty politics. Let’s break it all down. Clair […]
