HBO’s first Game of Thrones series didn’t feature nearly enough dragon scenes, if you ask me. My favorite mythical beasties mostly showed up for a passing greeting or to die within seconds, but it sounds like that’s a problem PlaySide’s upcoming RTS, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, could remedy. “The dragons have been a…
Rainbow Six Siege is having a moment. The tactical FPS is one week into a major update that introduced a new name (Siege X), a wild 6v6 mode, modernized maps, and most consequential of all, a new price point: After holding out for 10 years, Siege is finally free-to-play. Siege X is now more popular…
On an Internet of Shit, a cool website feels newsworthy, and graphic designer Josh Worth has made a very cool website. If The Moon Were Only One Pixel is a “tediously accurate” recreation of our stellar neighborhood you can explore in your browser, and it’s a meditative, thoughtful way to break up the monotony of…
Chinese game company Cognosphere is known for four things: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and its aggressive pursuit of anyone who doesn’t toe the line on its announcement and release schedules. In the latest example of how much it really, really does not like leakers, the company is now suing a guy…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a major hit on Steam: An “overwhelmingly positive” rating across more than 83,000 user reviews on Steam, and concurrent player numbers that keep it high on Steam’s top 100 most-played list—not bad at all for a relatively brief narrative-based singleplayer RPG. And if you’ve played through it all and wish…
Dune: Awakening is off to a great start: excellent Steam reviews, a growing playerbase, and few of the launch problems that regularly plague popular new multiplayer games. There is some trouble brewing, however, as players begin exploring Dune: Awakening’s endgame, much of which revolves around PvP in the deep desert—a massive, uninhabitable zone only traversable…
I had the chance to talk to veteran RPG designer Josh Sawyer (Pentiment, Pillars of Eternity, Fallout: New Vegas) at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference, and alongside other big ticket RPG topics, I had romance on my mind. I don’t want to pigeonhole Sawyer as “the anti-RPG romance guy,” but he’s been a consistent critic…
In what seems like an entirely out-of-nowhere reminder, a surprise message on the Prince of Persia X account has popped up to promise everyone that yes, Ubisoft is still working on The Sands of Time “behind the scenes,” and no, it has nothing more to say about it. It’s all a bit odd, and almost…
Angelos Mako was seven years old when he started playing Dungeon Rampage with his older brother, saving the good guys and slaying hordes of evil minions. A decade later, he also saved the game itself. Dungeon Rampage was a simple Facebook game, a cartoony hack-n-slash that was procedurally generated, so the dungeons were always a…
Lies of P: Overture, the new and impressively lengthy expansion to Neowiz’s “Fairytale of New Yharnam,” is packed with fascinating characters, the juiciest lore, and plenty of glistening abominations covered in a concerning quantity of teeth and eyeballs. But a little feature patched into the main menu during Overture’s release caused a predictable stir: difficulty….
