It’s been a quarter of a century since I kicked up a ruckus in the Colony, the setting of Gothic, the classic eurojank RPG that would go on to inspire CD Projekt to develop The Witcher. It’s been so long my bones feel creaky just thinking about it. This might also explain why my first…
Unsurprisingly, Forza Horizon 6 has a metric truckload of cars—even more than the last game, would you believe it? In fact, the car list is over 550 vehicles long. Set in Japan, FH6 leans into even more Japanese icons, though you’ll still have the usual manufacturers spanning decades of automotive history, from Ford to Ferrari….
When’s the last time you emptied the recycling bin on your PC? If the answer is right this second because you got self-conscious, then you’re not alone. However, if you haven’t waited nearly a decade to do so, you aren’t quite as bad as one Redditor. As user Illuminated Autocrat shared on Reddit, they just…
The next big crime drama game from RGG Studio is called Stranger Than Heaven. It’s a single-protagonist historical epic spanning the first half of the 1900s, following main characters Makoto and Yu as they rise in power as showmen and gangsters through mid-century Japan. That explains the codename from prior to its reveal: Project Century…
Falco[mparison]. After many whispers and rumours, Nintendo has lifted the lid on Star Fox, a full Switch 2 remake of Lylat Wars from the N64. We’ve all seen how it looks by now, right?
