I wrote 10 years ago that MachineGames did something almost beyond belief with Wolfenstein hero BJ Blazkowicz, turning him from an anonymous slab of bicep into a “magnificently human” character: a man clinging desperately to a dream that he knows in his soul has no happy ending.” Wolfenstein: The New Order and its sequel, The…
The Elder Scrolls Online has had a bit of a rough go, recently, with its initially cool subclassing update not quite hitting the balance mark alongside a brutal rash of cuts at Microsoft, which saw the game’s director quit.
