The Long Dark has been in development for a long time. Hinterland’s chilly survival game launched into Steam early access way back in 2014, before formally releasing three years later. But the launch in 2017 only represented the completion of the game’s survival mode. The episodic story mode, titled “Wintermute”, has been grinding glacially forward…

The internet creates a very strange kind of closeness, doesn’t it? There are, on my Steam friends list, numerous people who just dropped off the Earth one day. One guy has been gone for a year. Another, 3646 days. If these were people I knew in real life, this kind of thing would have me…

Despite being a devoted Monster Hunter sicko for well over a decade now, even I didn’t know about Monster Hunter i. And for good reason: The 2006 port of Monster Hunter G wasn’t just a Japan-only release—it was a keitai game, released exclusively for early 2000s Japanese cell phones. It was Monster Hunter’s first game…

As a longtime Oblivion advocate, I wasn’t super interested in Oblivion Remastered. While the rumors swirled and excitement grew I just didn’t see the need for a new edition of Bethesda’s 2006 RPG. “The original Oblivion is still great as it is!” I would yell from my porch at anyone who walked by.

It’s been at least 15 years since I last touched Oblivion, but a few seconds of the triumphant theme Reign of the Septims brings me right back to the menu screen I saw so many times on my Xbox 360. The gentler, almost aching Harvest Dawn conjures the quieter moments I spent wandering around the…
