Look, I now understand why this series is revered like it is. Dark Souls III , much like Bloodborne , is now one of my favorite games of this generation and is likely one of my favorite action games ever made. The secret boss fight against the Nameless King, in particular, is likely one of my favorite gaming moments from this entire year.

Not only did I play Dark Souls III this year, but I also finally played Dark Souls Remastered after it came to PS4 and I dug that a whole bunch as well. While it took me somewhat longer to get to than many others, I'm glad I finally experienced most of this franchise for myself. Even if it's maybe referenced a bit too much, Dark Souls really is as important as it's made out to be and I'm now a FromSoftware fanboy. Bring it on, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice .

I distinctly remember experiencing envy when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was at the peak of its popularity. As someone who played on consoles and didn't own a PC, PUBG became a spectator sport for me. It seems ironic (and totally inaccurate) now, but I then viewed Fortnite as a knock-off "low budget" version, setting for that free game while the "cool kids" played the real battle royale game that started the cr

At the end of the day, as many others have already stated, Mario Tennis Aces is more of a fighting game than a sports game. Like all competitive fighting games, its meta is continually evolving, new content is regularly being added, and its die-hard fans are looking forward to the future. I hope this game sticks around for as long as possible.

It wouldn't be fitting for PUBG to have some of the crazy limited-time events or gimmicks that the likes of Fortnite has—this game is going for a different look and feel. But over a year after PUBG changed the game, I would have expected the powers that be to have come up with something unique to at least give the PUBG platform a competitive e

Enter the Gungeon was my first roguelike. It was the game that inspired me to jump headfirst into the genre and brought me countless hours of exploring, shooting, and most importantly, dying. This year's Advanced Gungeons & Draguns _ DLC brought a ton of great additions to the game and has worked to make every run feel effortlessly unique. Seriously, I have logged over fifty hours in _Enter the Gungeon and I'm still constantly uncovering new things . I can't recommend this game highly enough, especially for Nintendo Switch owners.

I contemplated whether or not I was going to make a year-end list for a while. Unlike literally all of my DualShockers colleagues, I don't own a PlayStation 4, and thus, didn't really play a lot of the capital-B Biggest games of the year.

One of them appears to be the fact that PUBG mobile, unlike its computer and console version , is completely free to play . If you want to experience a simpler version of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds on your Computer without spending a dime, this might be your only cho

Obviously, PUBG: Battlegrounds will be accessible to every Xbox owner for free two days after its removal from Game Pass, so there’s less pressure for subscribers to beat that clock. Due to the battle royale nature of the title, the amount of time it would take to beat PUBG Collectibles is a far more nebulous topic than some of the other considerable time sinks leaving the service in January. Getting a win on Game Pass is likely the barometer that many will subscribe to, and is a feat that’s highly dependent on skill and luck. For the completionists looking for a challenge, it’s worth keeping in mind, however, that getting all of the achievements in PUBG can take well over 200 ho

With more powerful smartphones being announced every year, more and more people are gravitating toward mobile games. One of the titles that have captivated mobile gamers for a while is PUBG mobile . A popular online multiplayer game in the battle royale genre, PUBG mobile successfully captures the essence of the original PC and console game "PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroun

The same went for aiming—holding L2 has you aim in third-person while tapping that trigger will give you a first-person iron sights view. While I was able to adapt to this scheme quicker than I expected, I found it difficult to navigate myself during certain scenarios. For example, if I'm aiming in first-person and want to sprint, my mind leads me to click on the left stick to sprint, but instead that has me lean to the left in first-person, and I disorient myself until my untimely demise in a firefi
