Warning: Narrative spoilers below for the first act of Death Stranding 2. Death Stranding 2 is as bizarre as any of Hideo Kojima’s games. Maybe even weirder? It trades Metal Gear’s cloning and nanomachines for aging rainfall, interdimensional beaches, magical tar, and all sorts of other stuff you might kinda understand by the time you…
Kan Naito is bringing ‘Lady Stalker 2D’ to Nintendo’s 8-bit console. It has been announced that Kan Naito is developing a new NES / Famicom RPG called Lady Stalker 2D, and that it will feature character designs created by the late Yoshitaka Tamaki, who sadly passed away in 2023.

When Crimson Desert launched last week, it was quickly inundated with reviews both positive and negative on Steam. Players…
The Sanctum of Benediction puzzle isn’t the hardest I’ve come across in Crimson Desert, but it certainly isn’t the easiest either. It’s plain to see how someone could find this sanctum confusing, especially when one of the parts you recover doesn’t seem to fit onto the central device you’re trying to repair. Thankfully, though, it’s…
