You play as a cybernetically enhanced killer who is seeking their kidnapped brother, and the game has been celebrated for its beautiful brutality and huge arsenal of futuristic weapons. You can also ditch the laser rifles, ultrasonic guns, and lightning canons in favor of a katana or pipe, if the mood hits.Ruiner received an 8/10 in our original review, and reviewer David Rayfield praised the game's story and gameplay. "Through the endless bodies that fall by your hand, the grim layers of the story peel away to divulge a few surprises about the meaning of life, death and revenge. It is a revealing journey that's well worth taking but it is apparent from the opening scene to the mysterious finale, the only thing that is pure and absolute in the world of Ruiner is murder."Info from Gamespot.com

It may have taken six years to happen, but Star Wars: The Clone Wars is finally back for its seventh and final season. As the show's creative team begins wrapping up a story that first began with the 2008 animated film, a new group of heroes is joining the foray for this Disney+ original series.Warning: The following contains spoilers for the Season 7 premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, entitled "The Bad Batch." If you haven't watched the episode yet, look away now.Early in the episode, a new group of "defective clones" are introduced. They call themselves the Bad Batch and are essentially soldiers for hire when there is a mission that might be harder to pull off. What's interesting about the Bad Batch, though, is who they resemble. It might not be easy to see at the beginning, but once it's explained that these particular clones have "desirable mutations," it becomes clear.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Blackbird Interactive, developers behind Homeworld 3 and Deserts of Kharak, have a new intergalactic game forthcoming. Titled Hardspace: Shipbreaker, the game is in first-person and casts the player as a shipbreaker, who apparently has some hefty debt and needs to repay it by scavenging parts off of dead space ships.Players will get to use a laser cutter and other cool tools to complete the job, with the caveat that electrocution, being blown up, and asphyxiation are all hazards of the occupation. (Resurrection adds more to the debt.)If you're looking to get a taste of the gameplay, Hardspace: Shipbreaker will be available through Steam's Early Access sometime this summer at a currently unknown price. The Early Access version will include Act 1 of the campaign, which will require around 15-plus hours of gameplay to complete, and a "freeform sandbox mode" that allows for hundreds of more hours of gameplay. Players will have the choice of two types of spaceships to scavenge from and lots of salvaging tools and suit parts that they can upgrade. The total debt to pay back in the campaign will be 999,999,999 credits.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Rainbow Six Siege's explosions are about to get a whole lot better, or worse, depending on if you get caught in the blast radius. Walls and barriers will still be your friend, but they might not be enough to say save you from the deadliest grenades.Beginning with Rainbow Six Siege Year 5 Season 1, a new shrapnel system is factored into explosions. Destructible objects will not limit the range of an explosions' damage, and shrapnel hole swill be visible in cover to make it clear where the initial blast came from. This should not only make grenades more effective, but reduce confusion among players. Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
