These days, a typical Google Search feels like an obstacle course. Type out ‘upcoming PC games 2026‘ and your gaze has to swerve around a chunky AI overview which recycles the work of human writers in a bid to kneecap efforts to click away from Google. It’s a bleak state of affairs for what was…
Shipwrecked and alone, I soon find myself stumbling through cobbled streets and blazing fires. Energy-sapping gaps in the floor must be avoided, and violent bats fought off. My reward for successfully navigating all of this stress and hardship is a one-on-one battle against the oversized mace-swinging brute standing between me and safety. By the time…

What a wonderfully bleak age we live in!…

What’s that coming over the hill? Rounding out Dragon Quest’s 40th anniversary showcase, we got our very first peek at the next entry in the Dragon Quest monsters spin-off series: The Withered World.
