Mindseye, which was released on June 10th, has received the first in what will be a series of emergency hotfixes that are designed to fix the performance issues following the title’s extremely problematic launch. This follows Build A Rocket Boy, the studio behind the game, releasing a public statement saying they were “Heartbroken” by the fact that players were facing issues with the game. That statement, of course, was after a MindsEye preview in which all of these issues were brought up and co-CEO Mark Gerhard began suggesting a campaign by the industry to attack the game. These patches, the…

Capcom has announced that Devil May Cry 5, their 2019 entry in the long-running Devil May Cry franchise, has reached the impressive lifetime sales milestone of 10 million units.

In a press statement released by Capcom, it was stated, “The title has garnered strong support from users due to its exceptional gameplay experience, leading to expanded sales as a catalog title since its release.” This is owing to the success of the title, now six years on from…

Publisher Focus Entertainment has announced that third-person shooter title Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has hit the major milestone of selling 7 million copies of their title in under a year. Developed by Saber Interactive, Space Marine 2 was released in September of 2024, which means that this huge accomplishment was reached in a little under nine months. While this number is impressive, continued success was expected given how well the game performed at launch. During its initial month, the game sold 4.5 million units, accounting for slightly over half the total amount of sales. Space Marine 2 performed so…

Date Everything was one of those indie games that caught my attention from the get-go. With a premise so bizarre and absurd, I was absolutely sure this was going to go one of two ways. I would love everything about it, or I would not. Thankfully, I got my answer when I asked why in a game where I am encouraged to date everything, I couldn’t date the game itself, that’s how much it sucked me in. Hours later, the feeling had only grown. This could have been your standard Visual Novel, this could have been your standard dating sim,…

Cyberpunk 2077 is, in a lot of ways, a showcase of the Nintendo Switch 2’s power over its predecessor. Here we have a big, open world game that used high-quality visuals and struggled to run at launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at the time, leaving the Nintendo Switch in a limbo when it came to receiving a port. In a lot of ways, Switch players are lucky, as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which includes the Phantom Liberty DLC, marked the end of a long road that was taken to fix the game, which took developer CD Projekt Red…

The Rogue Prince of Persia was released last year on PC, in early access, to some rave reviews. Developed by Evil Empire, a studio involved with the very popular rogue-like Dead Cells, in collaboration with Ubisoft, so it was easy to expect this Rogue-like twist on the Prince of Persia franchise to be a Quality experience. After some quiet, the studio announced during the PC Games Showcase that Rogue Prince of Persia has a 1.0, official release of the game, coming later this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c1QFum8GXY Similar to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which was released last year, this game…

Similar to Persona 3 Reload previously, Persona 4 Revival, a remake of the fourth entry in the popular spin-off to the Shin Megami Tensei series using the franchise’s current engine and graphics, was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase by Atlus, albeit with very little of the game actually shown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8wgp9eaQRM All presented in engine, this early development showcases several locations that should be familiar to fans of the 2008 game. We see a field of tall grass with a bridge in the background, a look at the shrine players often frequent, and finally, a look at one of the…
