Perish is basically the weird love child of DOOM Eternal and Hades, combining the intense action and heavy-metal riffs of the former with the roguelike structure and mythological storytelling of the latter. But just like real-world genetics, just because you combine the best DNA possible does not mean you’re going to end up with something better than the sum of its parts. Perish isn’t even close to being as awesome as either of its parents, but if you take it out of the shadow of those two Titans it’s a decent budget roguelike shooter in its own right.

Helldivers 2 was so popular this weekend it broke. Again.
A few days ago, Arrowhead’s CEO mentioned that the team was worried that the upcoming weekend would be too much for the game to handle, and it seems those fears have come true. Over the weekend the servers buckled under the influx of players, once again resulting in people unable to play.
Helldivers 2 Warbonds & Microtransactions explained
Helldivers 2 has exploded onto the scene and made a fairly large impact, quickly becoming the biggest Sony Studios game on PC. But like so many games released in the modern age, Helldivers 2 is monetized in more ways than just the price you pay to buy it. So let’s explore exactly how Helldivers 2 is monetized, shall we?

Hundreds of Discovery shows will be deleted on PlayStation, and unwatchable even if you paid for them
Hundreds of Discovery TV shows will disappear from PlayStation and become unwatchable even if you paid for them. It’s the exact scenario proponents of physical media have worried about – digital content simply vanishing, and sadly it seems many people don’t yet understand how digital rights work.
Gotham Knights PS5 Review – Standing in the Shadow of the Bat
It has been nine long years since Warner Bros Montreal last released a game. Batman: Arkham Origins was the forgotten child, shoved to the side as people referred to the Arkham “trilogy” developed by Rocksteady. And while it was certainly true that Arkham Origins didn’t hit quite the same highs, Warner Bros Montreal still delivered a rock-solid Batman game. With that success, the future seemed bright for Warner Bros Montreal as they were primed to take over the Batman license while Rocksteady moved on to other things. But then they released the Batgirl DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight and…vanished. Reports of canceled projects such as an Arkham Knight sequel starring Damian Wayne and a Suicide Squad title threw the entire studio’s existence into question. Nine years is a long time for a studio to expend money without putting anything out. Here we are, though; Gotham Knights, a brand new Batman game that isn’t set in the Arkham universe, a chance for Warner Bros Montreal to don their cape and cowl again, an opportunity to prove themselves the heroes we deserve.
Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Revew – A Solid Indie Action-Adventure
Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is yet another game in a long line of games that wants to liken itself to the “souls” genre despite actually having very little in common with From Software’s desire to beat people into submission. Aside from a lack of a map and losing some resources when you die, Asterigos has nothing to do with Dark Souls or its ilk, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking in good qualities. While it might not offer anything new or groundbreaking there is a solidly designed action-RPG here that offers a lot of content for a relatively low price, and for the right person that’s going to be a killer deal.
Dakar Desert Rally – And Dabike and Datruck and Daquad
The Dakar Rally is one of the coolest motorsport events in the world, an epic race across the vast expanses of Saudi Arabia that tests not only pure speed but also navigation skills and endurance. Cars, trucks, quads, bikes and buggies blast along tracks, leap over dunes and slide around bends in a bid to get the best time in stages that span hundreds of kilometres. It’s also a testament to just how crazy and arrogant humans really are – we see an endless desert and think to ourselves, “let’s drive some stuff over it!” Dakar Desert Rally from Sabre Interactive is the latest attempt to capture the magic and epicness of the event and I’m happy to be able to tell you that it’s quite a step up from the 2018 game. This can be a rewarding game for anybody willing to put in the time, but some rough edges keep it from being truly great.
Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed Review – Bring On A 3rd Game
The massive monstrosity that is the Embracer Group continues to gobble up more and more developers and intellectual properties, and regardless of how you feel about that one good thing has come of it; a willingness to mine their extensive catalogue via remasters and remakes, many of which seem to designed to test whether there’s an audience for a brand new game. In 2020, Black Forest released their remake/remaster of Destroy All Humans, a cult classic from the Playstation 2 days where you played as an alien invading Earth. Now, the much-beloved sequel has gotten the same treatment from Black Forest, making me wonder if we might finally get to see Destroy All Humans 3. That’s the future, though – let’s focus on the here and now; is Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed still fun in 2022 and has Black Forest done it justice?
