Seven Hours With Dragon Age: The Veilguard: Has BioWare Learned The Right Lessons?
19.9.2024
I have been waiting for Dragon Age: The Veilguard for 10 years. The last game developer BioWare put out was 2019’s Anthem, an ill-fated loot shooter that chased live-service trends and felt like a misuse of the team’s talents. In the years since, there have been reports and admissions from...

Destiny’s Loot Is Great Because It Usually Has A Story To Tell
18.9.2024
