Metaphor: ReFantazio, the tale of a young outcast’s quest to end racism by clearing dungeon after dungeon of seemingly evil lesser species, is a great RPG and one of the best games of 2024. It’s also like $70, which represents half a year’s savings in games media. Clearly Atlus has become detached from the concerns…
I could reel off a list of products all deserving of a nod in this year’s hardware awards. The ROG Strix X870-I Gaming Wifi and Ayaneo Flip DS, to name just two, are easy recommendations. But neither could have earned my recommendation come September. That was when I first got my hands on the Havn…
Dredge is great. We called it “a fantastic fishing game with a sinister mystery lurking in its depths” in our 89% review, and also named it Best Setting in our 2023 Game of the Year Awards. And now, for the first time ever, you can pick it up for free from the Epic Games Store….

Even going into the final stretch of The Spirit of the Samurai, I was still unsure if I had understood the fundamentals of its combat. Enemies were every bit as twitchy and unpredictable as they had been at the start of the game, but I still had no idea whether my custom combos were good…
It’s been weeks since I’ve seen any shred of light, trapped down below the surface of a group-modded Skyblock server. My so-called friends all roam the top layer of dirt working on their factory chicken farm, but I haven’t been able to see any progress at all—I’ve just heard of all the wondrous miracles being…
