Since the dawn of time a battle has been raging between two equally powerful but opposing concepts. I am, of course, talking about dragons and drugs. And yes, I know all about how Puff the Magic Dragon allegedly tried to bring the two factions together, but it’s all lies. There can be no lasting peace….
“It does seem to run well in some scenarios”. Cyberpunk 2077 had a notoriously rough launch back in 2020. The game is in far better shape today, but memories of five years ago had us feeling slightly apprehensive when the open-world RPG was announced as a Switch 2 launch title — are we going to…
In spite of a very long history, nobody’s ever really gotten tired of pretending to be a ninja. From the distant past of Capcom’s sidescrolling Strider and The Ninja Warriors’ widescreen robo-ninja violence through the still-missed sneakiness of PlayStation classic Tenchu to the lyrical excesses of Metal Gear Rising, no one’s immune to the allure…
Capcom’s been doing rather well for itself, lately—what with Monster Hunter Wilds coming out, hot on the heels of a batch of popular remakes. Dragon’s Dogma 2 may have had its controversies, but I still had a ton of fun with it, so I’m willing to give them a gold star, too. What I might…
Final Fantasy 14 is in a weird spot at the moment. After a huge wave of goodwill following the WoW: Shadowlands exodus circa 2021, the MMO has kinda fumbled it. If FF14 was a gymnast, it would’ve absolutely nailed the landing on a triple backflip with Endwalker’s base story, staggered around a bit during its…
New information about Death Stranding 2 is a little sparse, unless you count all the celebrity appearances on Hideo Kojima’s social media accounts.

“We had a lot of creative freedom”. After rinsing through Blasphemous 2 in 2023, we immediately turned our attention to the future and began to dream about what a potential third game in the series might look like. How little we knew. Of course, another Blasphemous may still be on the cards at some point,…

As I played through the tutorial of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, I started to feel a fear very specific to videogames. You know the one: ‘If I’m already struggling in the training level, what chance am I going to have in the rest of the game?’ I know, I know, get all your games journalist jokes…
Quick! Think of a number between 1 and 10…was it 7? If it was, don’t feel too bad, as human brains are notoriously bad at both true randomness and understanding probability. Even if you’re too galaxy-brained to fall for my tricks and slyly thought of something clever like ‘3 and three-quarters,’ you may still be…
