2021 has been a tremendously odd year. It has also been my first year with a real job as a games writer. This means that I have a lot of pent-up feelings from the past several years about video games that I love, many of which are embodied by this very strange and messy list–which, yes, includes...
The Best RPGs Of 2021
22.12.2021
There was, I would argue, no genre-defining role-playing game this year, but there were still a hell of a lot of good ones.

Shin Megami Tensei If… Was Persona Before Persona
23.7.2021
Despite being a spin-off of a spin-off, Persona’s runaway success made it the most recognizable of the Shin Megami Tensei RPG series. But in 1994, two years before the very first Persona game arrived on PlayStation, the blueprint for those future games was laid down in another lesser-known side...
