Fortnite launched as a fledgling Battle Royale game, and for years Epic Games consistently added new content to an ever-evolving title. They needed to do this because, to be frank, Fortnite fundamentally did not feel good to play. Fortunately, between its launch in 2017 and now, Epic Games have fixed all of these flaws, making for a game that is not only content rich, but actually good...

Throughout 2021, Sony's first-party studios proved that the PS5 was the next-gen console to have in year-one, with a solid slate of new games with jaw-dropping graphics. Now to kick off 2022, Sony is looking to continue making its mark with Horizon Forbidden West, another incredible graphical showcase, although it is a slow burn for returning players...

Microsoft dropped an absolute bombshell when the tech behemoth announced that they would be acquiring video game publishing giant Activision Blizzard for a whopping $68.7 Billion USD. The console manufacturer has already offered a statement as to what this will mean for Call of Duty - though it is rather confusing. On this week’s KitGuru Games, we will analyse Microsoft's statement, and what we think it actually means for the future of the franchise - all corporate speak removed...

The Game Awards took place a few weeks ago and as usual, there were some questionable winners and nominations in a number of categories. Today, just before the year comes to a close, we are looking back at some of our favourite games of the year and shining a spotlight …

In a previous edition of the KitGuru Games column, we discussed the hardware of the PlayStation 5 and all that it has offered over the past year. Now, we will look at the latest and greatest that PlayStation has to offer on the software front.

When Sony first showed off the PlayStation 5, it did so by choosing to focus on a select number of features which – when combined – informed the next generation of console gaming in the eyes of Sony. These features included the SSD; haptic feedback; adaptive triggers; 3D audio and …

If ever there is an Xbox system on the market, you can bet your bottom dollar that a Halo game will follow right behind. Though one year later than planned, Halo: Infinite’s multiplayer mode has finally been released. But was it worth the wait?

"The collaboration between Fortnite and fashion brand Balenciaga is an interesting case study showing how far Fortnite has fallen down the metaverse rabbit hole. Thanks to this collaboration, you could now spend real money to go to a digital shop to buy a digital Fortnite x Balenciaga hoodie, and then back in the real world spend real money on a real version of a digital hoodie which you already spent real money on. Don’t worry though, the hoodie only costs you $725."

If there was any doubt in what PlayStation’s plans were, they have all been made crystal clear with the announcement that 2018’s God of War is coming to PC. As Kratos himself said: "Now you are ready for a new beginning..."

“Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same f*cking thing... over and over again expecting...shit to change...That. Is. Crazy”.

We’re looking at whether this cult-classic holds up in 2021 and if the remaster is worth the upgrade

With Death Stranding: Director’s Cut arriving today, I have decided to take a look back at the game, and will make the argument that Death Stranding is in fact one of the smartest and most involving games I have ever played in terms of the gameplay, making it in my opinion the best open world game, and one of the few that actually deserves to be an open world.

Sony and Insomniac Games created quite a stir last night when they announced a new Wolverine game. While we fully trust Insomniac to make a great game, there are certain things I do and do not want to see from a Wolverine title - so here's 5 of them...

“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad”. This is a quote that has echoed throughout the video games industry. First said by Nintendo veteran and the father of Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto, the quote has been used and abused over the years when discussing the ever common practice of delaying games. But is it true?

This week on KitGuru Games we’re looking ahead to the future. Due to various delays, the summer months have been a tad slow for major game releases but there is a lot to be excited for in the final months of 2021, so I’ll be shining a spotlight on some of my most anticipated titles for the rest of the year.

Media Molecule made quite the impression with Dreamscom 2021, giving Dreams creators a platform to shine and show off new games, music, texture packs and more, all in a virtual space. In many ways, it felt like looking into the future of video games.

After a middling reception to campaign gameplay in 2020, 343 Industries came back with a bang this summer, revealing Halo Infinite Multiplayer for the first time. Better yet, the studio was ready to begin public playtesting right away, leading to a Technical Preview last weekend. I was fortunate enough to get an invite and after spending several hours in multiplayer matches, I’m pleased to say that so far, Halo Infinite is looking to be a winner.

There once was a time when console generations were defined through the resolution by which the console could output at. One of the biggest selling points of the Xbox 360 and PS3 was the fact that these systems were capable of outputting games in HD. Yet, as consoles support higher and higher resolutions, we have seen developers focus less on offering games at such resolutions, instead using new rendering techniques to create what may be the start of the post-resolution gaming experience...

In our latest KitGuru Games weekly column, I argue that many of the PS5’s features offer a noticeable step up from previous generations - such as the speed, graphics, frame rate and more - for me, the biggest game changer is the DualSense and the way in which it utilises haptic feedback and its triggers...
