A Horror Game That Commits So Hard To Consequences, It's A Knockout

31.3.2022
The most fascinating aspect of Weird West’s design is how friendly the game is to my fuck-ups.

Tales of Arise, the 17th mainline entry in Bandai Namco’s series of JRPGs that’s basically as old as human history by now, was one of September’s biggest games.

Look At All The Ways You Can Kill People In Deathloop

Some games have tried to mask this artifice in the service...

Deathloop’s Villain Group Chat Is A Perfect Mess

17.9.2021
Deathloop does a lot of things right. One of those things is chat logs. When you’re not going on a murder spree, you’re reading through the private DMs of those you just killed. Arkane has done a superb job of imbuing its villains with flair and personality from beyond the grave, thanks to one...
