Many of us at Destructoid have been looking forward toHawkenfor a very long time now. How could we not? The mech genre was seemingly dead in the water until Adhesive Games revealed the teaser video which showed us a mech game that’s bringing triple-A quality to the free-to-play PC market. We’ve been followingHawken‘s progress very closely, and at gamescom I sat down with Khang Le, Adhesive Games’ CEO and creative director, to talk about what’s new with the game, the fear of meeting expectations, whether or not giant mechs wielding melee weapons feel realistic, and how indie companies are able to take on risks....

How to defeat the Imurah and Chaos Demon final boss in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

The final boss inWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2is a rematch with Imurah, but he’s brought a friend with him. A portal to the Warp has been opened, and thanks to it, a Chaos Demon can join this fight at full strength. Afterbesting Imurahearlier on in theWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2campaign, I thought the second battle with him would be tough but pretty much the same. I couldn’t have been more wrong because this bos fight features the biggest foe you’ll directly fight in the game, a Chaos Demon of epic proportions....

I didn’t think I’d enjoy Bayonetta this much

Know your limits Fighting angels as a witch dressed up like Samus Aran is a fun way to spend an evening. I’m several years late to playingBayonetta, a game I might have never sought out had Nintendo and Platinum not packaged it in with its Wii U-exclusive sequel. I’m picky about which games I’m willing to drop $59.99, but two for the price of one? Can’t turn that down. I skippedBayonetta‘s debut on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in part because I’m not great at 3D action games....

The best ways to start a game A great weight rests on the shoulders of the opening area of a game. Be it a level, a mission, or the first quest in a role-playing adventure, this zone, barring any opening cutscenes, marks the first time players will get to experience the world developers spent tireless months and years creating. In our current era of widely available and disposable games, that first sequence is so important because if it’s poor, the player has a million options it can substitute it for....

Just check out Matt Razak’stwo-part analysisonthe true meaning ofNo More Heroes 2for some more proof. Lollipop Chainsaw, with its focus on comedy and balls-out insanity, is perhaps the hardest Grasshopper Manufacture game to scrutinize....
