It’s a little embarrassing to admit but I am sometimes paralyzed by choices in RPGs. In fact, I am currently in the midst of a Very Big Situation in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (if you’ve played it, you’ll know what I mean, and if you haven’t I’m not going to spoil it), and it is…
For Destiny 2, the afterglow following The Final Shape, last summer’s saga-capping expansion, has long faded. Those players who have stuck around (like me) for the next phase now have a shopping list of complaints about the episodic format that has followed, exacerbated by how buggy the game has become in the wake of the…

Ballistic plays…
Spending hours passing the time in a colorful life sim by farming, crafting, decorating, and exploring is great—but it’s even better with some friends along for the ride. In upcoming cozy MMO Loftia, that’s just what you’ll do: build a house on a floating island in the sky and connect it up with your friends’…
You’re gonna have to sleep sometime (we recommend the second half). Here’s the thing about The Thing: Remastered; it’s still very much 2002’s The Thing. Which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how much you like your The Thing. 2002’s The Thing, you see, which was developed by Computer Artworks…
Marvel Rivals and Concord are both hero shooters, but they couldn’t be more different in the one way that really matters: Concord was one of the most notorious flops in videogame history, while Marvel Rivals—at least in the early going—is a big hit.
