How to be behave in a Japanese arcade without looking like a tourist

Polygon icon 14 days, 15 hours, 43 minutes ago by Chris Plante

Visiting Japan without stopping at a game center is like flying to Rome and forgetting to eat pasta. Unlike America, where arcades peaked with that scene in Terminator 2 in which a grown man stiff-arms the kid from Salute Your Shorts, the game center remains a popular hangout spot in Japan’s major cities. However, much...

Cthulhu The Cosmic Abyss is a new investigative horror game channeling Outlast

I vividly remember the first time my cousin and I played Outlast. "It'll terrify you," she said. "It's like that FEAR game we played, but worse." As we climbed into Mount Massive Asylum, sneaking our way through its corridors, there's that iconic moment where a body drops from the ceiling. We quickly switched the game off and watched Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg play the rest of it. Yet, investigative horror games are a genre I can't help but go back to - despite the inevitable screams and panic,...

Hearthstone card reveal - Warlock deathrattle package

Players will have to pick a side: will you choose to protect the Emerald Dream, or work with dark forces to turn it into the Emerald Nightmare?

The Power Rangers movie, now on Netflix, shows a better path forward for big franchises

Polygon icon 14 days, 15 hours, 58 minutes ago by Austen Goslin

A reboot of Power Rangers made in 2017 has absolutely no right to be good. In fact, it shouldn’t even be tolerable. It should be unnecessarily dark and gritty. It should be violent and mature, and completely embarrassed of the IP it’s based on. And yet, somehow, none of that is true. Instead, the 2017...

The MagicX Zero 40 handheld features a vertical display for DS emulation

The Nintendo DS is one of the toughest consoles to emulate, for an obvious reason. It’s the two screens. This is even an issue with ports. Some developers avoid the problem by mushing everything together onto a single traditional screen, like the recently-released Castlevania Dominus Collection. However, gamers may finally have an affordable emulation solution, thanks to the MagicX Zero 40 handheld console. On its surface, it’s yet another handheld emulator, but this one features a four-inch ver...

Everything about Sorry We’re Closed sets my little punk heart ablaze, from its low-poly 3D graphics and banging original soundtrack, to its casually epic storyline starring heartbroken club kids and horny demons.

Michelle, an existentially lost and effortlessly cool twenty-something, is introduced to the spiritual world by The Duchess, an archdemon with thigh-high boot...

Review: Sorry We're Closed (Switch) - An Ethereal, Colourful Survival Horror Like No Other

Love is hell. To call à La Mode's Sorry We’re Closed a survival horror is certainly accurate in many ways, but it also does a disservice to just how unique and fresh this debut title really is. While it absolutely borrows a few elements from genre classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill (including the obvious PS1-inspired visuals), Sorry We’re Closed is quite unlike anything we’ve ever played before, and it’s bloomin’ marvelous. The basic premise sees you take on the role of Michelle as she ...
