(AfroGamers.com) The worlds of Super Mario always make me wonder about how is anyone living and thriving here? It’s going to be a bit of a thing, so grab a snack and a drink. I’ve been playing Super Mario games since the late 1980s and when you’re a kid; new ...
(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes. The game came out in early 2013, over a year before Bungie released the first Destiny game. I mention Destiny because Warframe comes off as something of a third-person version of Destiny—which is ...
(AfroGamers.com) The year was 2020 and one of the games I wasn’t paying attention to was Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater. I remember seeing Maneater on the PSN and not being particularly interested in playing an action game featuring a shark. I didn’t even think it was about hunting the shark, just ...

(AfroGamers.com) I’ll just start off with this: the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War is the best gaming mechanic of all time for open-world games. I’d say that in 2023, it’s a necessary feature got big, breathing worlds where combat is a constant reality. Now, some ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’ve touched on Focus Entertainment’s Vampyr and The Surge and we’ve explored reviving Outriders but amazingly, we’ve never touched on The Technomancer. It’s interesting because we went into what made Kairosoft such a great studio on mobile and one of those three strong features is the gameplay formula. Focus ...
(AfroGamers.com) In gaming today, bringing back old games is just as popular as coming out with a brand-new game for some strange reason. Maybe it is because we know what we are getting with the old games or maybe it’s just nostalgia. Either way, Nintendo has a massive number of ...
