The game portrayed a sprawling open-world set in the American countryside, with impressive foliage rendering, vast draw distances, and detailed texture work. It was a big step up from prior games, packing excellent support for the PS4 Pro and Xbox…

[ad_1] Resident Evil 4 is perhaps the most highly anticipated remake of the year – and it’s not hard to see why, promising a full redesign of a highly decorated game with a ton of new content and reworked mechanics. It’s an excellent-looking game too with fine-grained indirect lighting and attractive artwork. However, recent…

[ad_1] Hi-Fi Rush is superb. Announced at Microsoft’s Developer_Direct showcase last week and released immediately thereafter, the game is a wildly creative effort from developer Tango Gameworks.
