Ranging from the absolutely timeless Psycho Mantis encounter that played with the fourth wall in gaming, to the hordes of Rays and even the patient sniper fight with The End. However, across all of the boss fights in all five games, the one that stood […]

This week on Boss Rush, we’re going to be doing something a little different. As our regular readers will know, this is usually the segment wherein we’ll talk about some of our favourite, unbeatable bosses. However, for the last few weeks, there’s only one unbeatable boss I’ve been facing off with; my own ELO. For […]

These days, the overnight success of Undertale seems like nothing, as this year both Overwatch and Pokemon Go have taken the world by storm two times over. Undertale was my game of the year in 2015, and I wasn’t alone, as the game’s popularity spread like wildfire throughout the Internet, spawning many discussions on the simplistic yet dark […]

Okay, I’m slightly cheating with this article. This isn’t really a boss, more like a specific mechanic in a point and click game, but I don’t care. It involves a fight with someone else, so this is a boss of sorts. And my favourite thing of Monkey Island as well!  For the sake of transparency, […]

La-Mulana is a fiendishly challenging game. When it was first developed back in 2005 as a freeware game, it was intended to be a love letter to the MSX and the games the devs enjoyed as kids, from things like the colour palette and the difficulty aspect. Years later it got a remake with a […]

It’s not often video games achieve such a stellar quality for narrative like Red Dead Redemption. Rockstar have been known for knocking it out of the park on building worlds that are original in design but familiar in nature. The Grand Theft Auto universe is such one built on popular culture’s view of major cities […]

Spoiler Warning for Bastion  It’s hard for me to nail down what exactly counts as a boss character in Supergiant’s Bastion. Creatures like the Anklegator showed their boss form in Queen Anne and the Gasfellas had their Foreman, but they’ll always just be another feather in the cap of enemies you face in the wake […]

Shadows of the Damned has eight bosses over the course of the game and I’m going to talk about two of them in particular. I have to warn you now, though; for anyone who hasn’t heard of or played Shadows of the Damned, the game is messed up. All the stories of the bosses and […]
