Tactical Breach Wizards, the fantasy turn-based tactical strategy about busting down doors with a team of Navy Seers and Necro Medics, is an excellent game. But did you know it is also an award losing game? Since its launch in 2024, Tactical Breach Wizards has not only enjoyed commercial success and near-universal critical acclaim, but…

It happens multiple times a week in online fantasy reader circles: Someone says they’re new to fantasy, or a former avid reader returning as an adult, or otherwise looking to join the space by asking what they should read first. The answer that fantasy fans love to give, inevitably, is The Hobbit. I see it…

Metal Gear Solid 5 famously released in two highly disproportionate parts, with its short (but highly replayable) prologue Ground Zeroes releasing roughly a year before the full-fat Phantom Pain. This has always struck me as an odd decision. Prior to Ground Zeroes’ release, Hideo Kojima claimed he split off the prologue because he wanted to…

BioShock 2 was a bold follow-up to Irrational Games’ 2007 FPS, putting you in the lead-weighted shoes of a Big Daddy and flipping its objectivist critique on its head. But 2K Marin’s sequel may have been bolder still if some of its developers had their way on the project. Early plans for the sequel included…

Deciding to destroy or release Elpis in Resident Evil Requiem determines which ending you get, and so if you’re here and aren’t near the end yet, begone!

The movie was originally planned for release in only about 60 theaters in the US, but…

There’s a lot going on in the world of videogames right now. The Marathon server slam is the big attention-getter of the moment, but Sony also got the first playtest for Horizon Hunters Gathering going on this weekend for some reason, and of course the Steam Next Fest is wrapping up over the next few…

It might finally be time to accept that a Bloodborne remake isn’t happening, at least not anytime soon. According to a report from Bloomberg, the project almost happened, but FromSoftware are the ones that ultimately turned it down. A Bloodborne remake has been demanded by fans for so long that Sony’s remaster studio, Bluepoint, figured…

There are so many reasons I should be excited for Marathon, and many of them are aesthetic ones. I have a particular weakness for the stark, colorful, striking designs of its vectorheart-inspired art style that pairs cold sterility with bold, borderline-obnoxious color intensity. It’s like someone built a game from the desktop wallpaper I had—and…

MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER (Image credit: Future) This week: Finished the original Mass Effect for the first time ever, and wished I liked it more. I have to grapple with the fact that, when it comes to extraction shooters, I’ve developed Arc Raiders tunnel vision. In 24 hours with the Marathon server slam, I keep…
