September packed before GTA 6

Publishers rush five major games to market before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November nineteenth.

Onimusha's combat feels incredible

Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword delivers the best-feeling action game ever, with fluid dodge, parry and counter mechanics.

“Never has a dodge, parry, or frame-perfect counter felt so dang good.”

Onimusha's action like cutscenes

Capcom turned cinematic action from previous games into playable gameplay with choreographed martial arts movie feel.

Onimusha stumbles on pacing

Re-used bosses and half-baked open world design create unnecessary fatigue, unusual for Capcom's typically lean releases.

Dawnwalker fixes open world bloat

Blood of the Dawnwalker from Rebel Wolves uses a clock mechanic to force meaningful quest choices instead of endless map icons.

Day and night shift gameplay

Play as Coen the Dawnwalker, swinging swords by day and transforming into a vampire at night to climb walls and teleport.

Townfall explores Scottish island

Konami's Silent Hill: Townfall is a first-person spinoff set in fog-shrouded St. Amelia in nineteen ninety-six.

Pocket TV scans for monsters

Simon Ordell uses a CRTV pocket television to detect enemies and gather hints while navigating the deserted town.

Townfall's stealth becomes tedious

Weak combat forces stealth, but relentless enemies and the need to scan multiple TV channels turns thrilling into tedious.

Fire Emblem demands time management

Nintendo's Fortune's Weave has you manage four heroes across parallel timelines, spending more time on errands than arena battles.

Fortune's Weave sprawls over 100 hours

More ambitious than Three Houses, with more characters, more story and more drama across a bloated one hundred plus hour runtime.

Control Resonant shifts to Dylan

Remedy's sequel to the two thousand nineteen original puts Dylan as the main character, now wielding shape-shifting melee weapons in a shattered Manhattan.
