It’s odd to think about now, but there was a time when Baldur’s Gate 3—Baldur’s Gate 3—pushed its release date forward by a whole month in order to avoid clashing with Starfield, the game once feted to be the obvious blockbuster release of 2023. Well, things change. It’s downright uncontroversial to call BG3 one of…
When I booted up the Marvel Rivals preview build for Season 3 for the first time, I was, of course, dying to try out Phoenix right away. New heroes are always the stars of the show, and that’s no different here. However, after hours of hands-on with the anticipated update, including the Season 3 patch…

Speaking to PC Gamer in an interview translated by Atlus West staff, Persona team…

The run & gun shooter sees up to four players pick from a selection of…
Starfield was primed to go galactic in the steady countdown to its launch. It was the first big mainline Bethesda RPG in a while. It was big and ambitious—one small step for Bethesda as a studio, one giant leap for gamer kind. Post launch, though, and that hype’s cooled significantly. What we got was more…
