Death Stranding 2's Final Trailer Is Here And It's Amazing But Please Don't Watch it

1 day ago | well-played.com.au | Adam Ryan

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is finally here, and developer Kojima Productions has celebrated by releasing one final trailer. Please. Don’t Watch. It.Now, you might think I’m warning you off a trailer that’s poorly made or wonky, but it’s the complete opposite. This monstrous six-minute trailer is just as cinematic as the game it’s selling you on, and you’ll get a very good look at what to expect from this amazing sequel, but that’s the biggest problem.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Review

“Should we have connected?”Having spent hours manually reintegrating the fractured people of a former United States, I met this sentiment with a measure of trepidation.
Siren's Rest Review

1 week ago | well-played.com.au | Zach Jackson

While I didn’t give Still Wakes the Deep a rave review when it came out, it was still a solid cinematic first-person horror experience with fantastic voice acting that was let down by its gameplay loop. The game’s setting – an oil rig in the North Sea – was an excellent choice for a horror title, and when Secret Mode and The Chinese Room announced story DLC for Still Wakes the Deep, I was excited to dive back in.
Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition Review

1 week ago | well-played.com.au | Kieron Verbrugge

A vertical mouse is something I’ve long been interested in trying out, though for reasons beyond my reckoning I remain bound to the idea of using a “gaming” mouse with my PC at home, despite doing the bulk of my gaming on consoles. My last few have all been Razer, and I’ve largely been very happy with them, so when the gaming tech manufacturer announced it was doing a Vertical Edition of its new Pro Click V2 mouse, well, how could I say no?
TRON: Catalyst Review

1 week ago | well-played.com.au | Jade Garrett

TRON is a franchise I have loved for years, and when I heard that TRON: Catalyst was being made, I was excited to be going back to the Grid. After all, the TRON universe hasn’t had something new in a couple of years. I was looking forward to this game to reignite my love for TRON once again, and it certainly did as I explored the digital world and, well, re-watched the movies. TRON: Catalyst is a story-driven top-down action-adventure game where you play as a courier named Exo.
Near-Mage Review

Just recently, I was gallivanting around Europe and spent some time in Romania, taking in parts of Transylvania and soaking up the beautiful architecture and history. Upon return, I was stoked to return to Transylvania in Near-Mage, the latest adventure from Romanian developer Stuck in Attic since its debut Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure, a title I really enjoyed (so much so that I backed Near-Mage during its Kickstarter campaign).
The Donkey Kong Bananza Direct Showed Off Pauline, Transformations, The DK Rap And...Sculpture?

1 week ago | well-played.com.au | Kieron Verbrugge

After the most recent game-specific Nintendo Direct, for Mario Kart World, was a bit of a fizzer, I think it’s fair to say that expectations for this week’s Donkey Kong Bananza Direct were tentative.
