When going back to an old favorite, you can’t help but hope for the best. Some games are timeless classics, and some can only live in the time they were made. In the worst case scenario, you get a tinge of nostalgia and a few hours distraction. In the best case, you get a time warp that recalls everything you loved about the experience. The SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD Switch port can provide that time warp with ease. Even eight years after its original release, this is still one of the best open-world crime games around, made better by the Switch’s portability. Welcome back to Steelport. Starting off right where Saints Row 2 left it with the Corporate Warfare DLC, Saints Row: The Third sees the popular purple gangbangers in a position of power. They’re multinational celebrities that sell merchandise and star in commercials. Bank heists are mere promotional events to keep up their brand. You play as The Protagonist, the fully customizable and … [Read more...] about Saints Row: The Third Switch Review

Next month, the Saints will make their long awaited return but to a new platform. And Deep Silver is welcoming them with open arms with a new trailer for the Saints Row The Third Switch port that is coming on May 10. This is also the Full Package edition, meaning it has all the DLC. The trailer, which appears below, gives us a good idea of what to expect from the port. It appears to have the same shooting and mechanics that we’ve seen in the previous versions of the game on the previous generation. However, it now has couch co-op, a feature that was exclusively online in the other versions. Here’s the overview of the game, provided straight from the publisher: “The Saints are back. And this time, they’re portable. Put the wildest chapter of the Saints Row saga in the palm of your hands on Switch. It’s time for you to bring the fight to Steelport. This is your City. These are your rules. Saints Row The Third: The Full … [Read more...] about Saints Row The Third Switch trailer debuts and shows off new port

Recently released on consoles and PC, Outward is the debut role-playing game from Nine Dot Studio. It happily wears its inspirations on its sleeves as it features a blend of the classic PC RPGs of yesteryear with survival mechanics. As such, it’s a unique combination of two of the most obtuse and difficult to parse genres.Outward’s Console Ports Are an Afterthought My first impression of Outward was a rough one as I could barely read the game’s text on my television without nearing closer to the screen. Clearly designed for PC first and foremost, the console versions feel like an afterthought in every way. From enemy corpses that glitch out and can’t be looted to a controller layout that makes it way too easy to accidentally lose your backpack (by pressing up on the directional pad) and only notice 30 minutes later, there are problems that make it a frustrating experience. In fact, my opening six hours of the game were mostly spent replaying the opening … [Read more...] about Outward Is Full of Cool Moments But Requires Too Much of a Time Investment

Alternate history “dieselpunk” RTS Iron Harvest will be published by Deep Silver. Developer KING Art revealed the partnership in a developer blog post on its official website.KING Art says over a dozen publishers expressed interest in Iron Harvest. The studio spoke with all interested parties and negotiated with a handful, finally deciding on Deep Silver. KING Art will “retain total creative control” over Iron Harvest, with Deep Silver helping out in areas such as production and first-party relations. In addition, KING Art says Deep Silver’s involvement has enabled them to include a number of features in Iron Harvest which weren’t necessarily possible before. The studio is promising more content, the possibility of a release on more platforms, and (potentially) a level editor. The level editor “won’t be a stand-alone editor” in which people can simply create maps quickly. Instead, editing hopefuls will need to … [Read more...] about Alternate History RTS Iron Harvest Will Be Published By Deep Silver
