Street Gods preview (Gamescom)
VR has had its fair share of action roguelites by now, but Soul Assembly’s Street Gods takes a particularly bold swing. By colliding Norse mythology with a fractured, urban New York setting, it sets itself apart right from the start. The big hook, of course, is Mjolnir itself – the hammer of Thor, placed in your hands with convincing physicality. After going hands-on with the game at Gamescom, it’s clear this one has both spectacle and ambition, though it might also ask players to get over a bit of a learning curve before it really clicks.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando preview (Gamescom)
With John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are looking to combine the pulpy fun of 80s action horror with the kind of large-scale co-op chaos that made games like World War Z so addictive. It’s a premise that sounds tailor-made for Carpenter’s legacy – equal parts gruesome horror, tongue-in-cheek humor, and cinematic explosions – and our hands-on at Gamescom showed us how those elements are shaping up.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword preview (Gamescom)
Capcom’s Onimusha franchise has been dormant for well over a decade, but with Onimusha: Way of the Sword the series is making a striking return. We had the chance to go hands-on with the game at Gamescom, and what we experienced suggests this is more than just a nostalgic revival. It’s shaping up to be a dark, cinematic action-adventure that feels modern in its execution while still honoring the series’ roots. Continue reading “Onimusha: Way of the Sword preview (Gamescom)”
