There are so many different things going on with The Riftbreaker that it’s hard to know where to start: it’s a bit action-RPG, a bit real-time strategy, a bit tower defense with a touch of twin-stick shooter.

Watch Dogs: Legion is powered by astoundingly ambitious technology, weaving together systems that allow you to play as anyone, hack into anything, and do (nearly) anything you can think of.

It’s been a long time coming for the long-awaited return of Destroy All Humans!, the much-beloved 2005 THQ cult nostalgia-mine. There’s a long and interesting story to tell of how the Destroy All Humans! franchise made its return, but that story isn’t for today: I was interested in actually playing the damn thing. And so
