Metal Gear Solid creator and ex-Konami developer, Hideo Kojima, always tends to keep his fans eagerly waiting and frothing at the mouth via subtle hints towards his upcoming games. His most recent work, Death Stranding, has produced some riveting and mostly confusing footage thus far, but has yet to reveal any release window.

While a few teases towards when the game will release have been fluttering around the web recently, Kojima himself has recently put any rumors to rest with his tweet regarding the upcoming sci-fi adventure game.

Many fans have been crossing their fingers in hopes that the star-studded PS4 exclusive would finally hit this year, but so far there have been no conclusive reveals determining when launch day will actually be. Kojima’s tweet doesn’t exactly rule out a 2019 release, but it also paints a much broader picture for when we’ll actually get our hands on the highly-anticipated title.

Death Stranding is a sci-fi, mystery-riddled action-adventure title full of big name Hollywood stars. The Walking Dead actor, Norman Reedus, plays the protagonist, Sam, during a twisted journey between life and death. Other stars working with Kojima on the game include Mads Mikkelsen, Troy Baker, Lindsay Wagner and film director, Guillermo del Toro.

Death Stranding is the debut title from Kojima Productions since leaving Konami. There’s no official release window for the game, but it’s releasing exclusively on the PS4.

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).

Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.

Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.

What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.

Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list.  The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.

The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.

According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:

  1. Sony Interactive Entertainment
  2. Paradox Interactive
  3. Activision Blizzard
  4. Focus Entertainment
  5. Take-Two Interactive
  6. Capcom
  7. SEGA
  8. Annapurna Interactive
  9. Humble Games
  10. Devolver Digital
