Once in a long while a game comes along that’s the perfect mix of the old and new. In 2012, that game came in the form of Dennaton Games’ Hotline Miami which was highly praised for its tight gameplay and retro style. Now, two years later fans will get to revisit the brutally violent world that Dennaton has created. Taking place in the early 1990’s, Hotline Miami 2 puts you in the shoes of a group of fans of the first game’s events and as the trailers...
It’s 7 at night and the cold, windy streets of Downtown south Boston are unusually empty. While I’d been used to seeing blue behemoth-clad lanyards dangling around everyone’s neck, this area was different… it was more, normal. Not a single gamer was in site as LevelSave editor Matt Curione and I strolled in to Boston’s Royale Nightclub for Neumond Recording’s Pop Muzik Showcase. Something is weird about this place, though; as we enter the room our ears fill with...
Secrets of Rætikon was recently released on steam and we reviewed it. Being that it is a game all about secrets we decided to put together something that helps those stuck on the secrets. Understand that by continuing to read you are spoiling the game for yourself. So turn back now if you want to enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. In an effort to better help you and to (let’s be honest) be more SEO friendly, we have written this tips post in the form...
While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...
The Evil Within, the long awaited new game from director Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks is looking to be a creep-fest of the highest order. Shinji Mikami, best known for directing the best entries in the Resident Evil franchise, is at it again with his new venture. If you haven’t been keeping up with the story, Mikami is once again in the director’s chair for what looks to be another classic horror experience in the making. From the demo on display...

So definitely stay tuned to LevelSave for the next few days to learn more about Bacon Man, The Evil Within, Evolve, Hotline Miami 2, Noir Syndrome and a mountain of other games.

A few years ago at PAX Prime several, of the LevelSave crew members sat on a couch and played game called Chasing Aurora. We sat there for far too long, passing Wii remotes and the Wii U Tablet to and fro, hooting with dread and joy. My main memory from that couch excursion was playing a modified version of tag with our bird characters. One player would have a lanturn in their talons while the other would try and hunt them down. The Wii Remote players would share a screen...
The second Titanfall patch went live today with a ton of fixes, updates and most importantly, the nerfing of the Gooser regen requirement. In case you don’t know, you must complete specific challenges in order to regen in Titanfall (which is much like prestige in CoD). One of the challenges for the level 5 regen was called Gooser. You were expected to kill 50 ejecting pilots in order to proceed to the next gen. This is a difficult task and the community let Respawn...
Game Informer reported in it’s May issue, that a Batman Arkham Asylum style game featuring Darth Maul was previously in the works, but no more. Apparently Red Fly Games was the developer working on the project. Reportedly the game was to be called Damage, and tie-in to the Clone Wars tv series. Of course a link to a YouTube video featuring, which is supposedly footage from the Dath Maul game, appeared on Reddit. I have not been able to confirm whether this is actual...
