Marvel Rivals: The Formula Western Games Can’t Understand

Marvel Rivals is the Heroic Game Changer we Needed Marvel Rivals has smashed onto the gaming scene like Hulk through a wall, leaving a trail of broken records and starstruck players. Yet, despite its undeniable success, there’s a weird undercurrent of criticism coming from legacy gaming media and the "modern" crowd of gamers that....no one's really surprised at anymore. They’re trying to compare it to other hero shooters like Overwatch or nitpick every design choice as if it’s the end of gaming civilization, when in the end - it's just a good game made for people that actually enjoy gaming. Bananas and blasphemy. Let’s cut through the noise. Marvel Rivals isn’t just a hero shooter—it’s a masterclass in how to balance great characters, creative design, and gameplay without pandering to tired ideologies or virtue signaling. It’s also a big, juicy […]

How Black Myth: Wukong Got Robbed at The Game Awards

The Game Awards Show Their True Colors From the first trailer, Black Myth: Wukong captivated the gaming world with jaw-dropping visuals, stunning combat mechanics, and a narrative rooted in rich Chinese mythology. Game Science delivered something we rarely see in AAA gaming—a unique blend of artistry and action that didn’t feel watered down for mass appeal. Now compare that to Astro Bot, which, sure, was charming and polished, but let’s be real—it’s a platformer that could have come out on the PS4 and no one would have noticed. What Astro Bot lacks is the cultural depth and sheer ambition that Wukong brought to the table. Let’s toss some truth bombs into the ring, eh? Sales Figures: Wukong sold over 10 million copies in its first two months, dwarfing Astro Bot’s mediocre 3 million. Player Engagement: At its peak, Wukong had […]

Path of Exile 2 Servers Down: Let’s Have Some Patience!

PATH OF EXILE 2: EARLY RELEASE WOES Patience is a virtue!Let’s be real for a second: early game launches, especially for titles as ambitious as Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), can feel like you’re riding a rollercoaster that’s still under construction. Grinding Gear Games (GGG) recently graced us with the long-awaited early access to their sequel, but things haven’t been entirely smooth.While the studio is known for its stellar ARPG legacy, PoE2’s early release has been more of a symphony of chaos—and not the poetic kind. A QUICK RECAP: WHAT IS PATH OF EXILE 2? For the uninitiated (or those living under a proverbial gaming rock), Path of Exile 2 is the sequel to GGG’s critically acclaimed PoE, an ARPG that’s basically the free-to-play juggernaut to Diablo’s paid shenanigans.PoE2 promises a fresh campaign, revamped visuals, an updated skill gem system, and […]

Legacy Gaming Media’s Hit Job on Black Myth: Wukong?

GAMING MEDIA WENT BANANAS WHILE GAMERS EMBRACED THE MONKEY KING The world of gaming is no stranger to controversy, but Black Myth: Wukong’s nomination for Game of the Year (GOTY) at The Game Awards has sparked a bizarre media pile-on that’s hard to ignore. If you’ve dared to Google “Black Myth: Wukong nominated for Game of the Year,” you’ve likely noticed something suspicious—almost every major gaming outlet seems to be running with the same angle: Black Myth: Wukong is the “lowest-rated game” to get a GOTY nod. Let’s unpack why this narrative stinks worse than a rotting peach. THE "LOWEST-RATED GOTY NOMINEE SMEAR CAMPAIGN Gaming outlets love to harp on Black Myth: Wukong's Metascore, repeatedly labeling it as undeserving of its nomination. But here’s the kicker: that “low score” wasn’t driven by player reviews—it was driven by the very critics […]
