Life would be so much better if our digital world was more like the one in Digimon Story Time Stranger. Unlike real life, where logging on can feel like walking straight through the gates of hell, my first trip to the land of ones and zeros in Time Stranger is the happiest a game’s made…
The Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows release date is closing in quickly, but the exact times it’ll reach you depend on where you are in the world. Anyone who braved the horrors in FromSoftware’s multiplayer spin-off will no doubt want to see how the DLC’s new characters, new bosses, and new map work. The…
The Yakuza series has spawned well over a dozen games since it debuted in 2005, and I haven’t included any of the substantial remasters in that figure.

You’ll need to hone your skills even earlier and start with lucky stat rolls in the character creator to turn your Roblox avatar into a mining machine. And if you aren’t blessed by RNG, don’t worry, there’s always…
