In Halo, “the sandbox” often refers to the weapons and vehicles on a map at any given time: all the toys you have to play with. But for a whole other set of Halo fans, that sandbox is the game itself. Be it through Forge or ambitious modding projects like SPV3, playing with the very core of...

23.11.2022
Like many, my first Witcher game was The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015. I sunk countless hours into it as I fell madly in love with the characters, but after I finished it, I knew I had to go back and play the first one. It’s not uncommon for the first Witcher game to be swiftly disregarded when...
Everyone’s Still Playing Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Even Though It’s Glitchy As Hell

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet continues to ring in its opening week with some solid co-op outshone by destructive glitches, but now there’s a new exploit in town. YouTuber PhillyBeatzU describes what he calls the “Shiny Picnic Reset Method” (it’s more prescriptive than descriptive) in a recent...
The Art Of Victoria 3
22.11.2022
I had mixed feelings about Paradox’s latest grand strategy game, Victoria 3, because for everything cool and funny and interesting it managed to pull off it was as much saddled by an obsession with some truly boring, broken stuff. One thing I loved at first play and will appreciate until the end...
