Dark Souls 2 is widely considered the “worst” Dark Souls game, which is not only wrong (that distinction goes to the greatest hits listlessness of Dark Souls 3) but ignores the fact that it could have had a giant hermit crab with a castle tower as a shell.

The Russian government has reportedly seized…
The critical and commercial success of Baldur’s Gate 3, the singleplayer sequel to a decades-old RPG, has led to one unexpected outcome: the emergence of Larian CEO Swen Vincke as some sort of champion of sanity in the games industry. Singeplayer is dead? Arrant nonsense! Wizards of the Coast hassling modders? Step back, fools! And…
The Elden Ring Nightreign PC system requirements are out, and the good news is that if you’re still rocking the same system you used for Elden Ring, you should be just fine.
