Before Esoteric Ebb, before Disco Elysium, and before Baldur’s Gate, there was Ultima. One of the earliest CRPGs in our favored medium’s history became a sprawling series, and if you want to learn more about it, arguably the best way to do so is through YouTuber Majuular’s excellent retrospective series, which we covered at length…
Voxel sandboxes like Minecraft and Hytale have player creativity firmly in the spotlight from the jump—not just because you can make whatever you like out of cubes, but also because modding is such a prominent part of the scene. Modders have had a field day with Hytale so far to say the least, and developer…
Do you ever wonder if Crazy Taxi is just a little too crazy? Wouldn’t it be nice to explore those beautiful Dreamcast-era cityscapes at your own pace, practically feeling the sun on your skin as you pass every Pizza Hut, KFC, and Fila sportswear store? If your response to that is ‘yes’ and not ‘wow,…

How it not only elevates the experience of playing a game, but…
I don’t necessarily want someone to come into my house and immediately know that so much of my spare time is spent sitting in front of a screen—there, I said it. So many video game posters and prints you can get are so garish and obvious, sometimes you just need something a bit more subtle….
We’re in a golden era for the CRPG. Disco Elysium set a new standard for narrative driven roleplaying in 2019, while Baldur’s Gate 3 did the same with pretty much everything in 2023. Even the ‘B-tier’of modern CRPGs like Rogue Trader and Solasta: Crown of the Magister offer rock-solid roleplaying adventures of dizzying depth. The…
Cooperative physics-platformer Human Fall Flat is one of my favourite back-burner games, something I check in on once every six months or so to see what nonsense has been added, eagerly play through the new levels, and then memory hole the thing until Christmas or whenever.
