In an interview withGame Rant, Neil Newbon says that he is well aware that many of the characters he plays are a little “unshackled”, but he never judges them....

“We hope that gamers can experience the atmosphere of martial arts, the essence of martial arts,”Where Winds Meetlead designer Chris Lyu tells me in the first of four interviews I recently had at the NetEase campus in Hangzhou, China. It’s a theme central to the game’s premise, and one I experienced first-hand duringmy three-hour preview. Set to release later this year, Where Winds Meet follows hot on the heels of other Chinese successes, likeBlack Myth WukongandWuchang: Fallen Feathers, but the Everstone Studios development team paid no attention to that....

Quick Links With the addition of four new characters,Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Editionrounds out its roster of AI opponents at twenty. They’re designed to have a range of difficulties and strategies, so your approach to fighting one Lord or Lady won’t necessarily work against another. If there are multiple characters on a team against you, you’ll need to contend with all their personae at once. You don’t have any control over who you fight on Skirmish Trails, but if you set up a Custom Skirmish you can fight against whomever you want....

TheBaldur’s Gate 3cast is brilliant. That’s hardly a controversial statement,given all of the awardsand nominations they’ve scooped up between them, but truly, there are so many fantastic physical performances and line deliveries in there. We would be here all day if we debated which scene showcases these performances the best, but I’m going to go ahead and put forward my candidate:a romanced Karlachtelling her partner that she loves them. However, that does not do it justice....

Summary Some games are famous for their difficulty—but let’s be real, hard doesn’t always mean punishing. Not everyone enjoys games where one mistake costs you an hour, your progress, or your sanity. Permadeath, scarce checkpoints,brutally limited resources, or irreversible choices? Those can make a game feel less like a challenge and more like a test of emotional endurance. And hey, not everyone wants their gaming session to feel like a bootcamp....

Summary You can expect certain things in every Mission: Impossible movie, from breathtaking stunts to someone pulling a mask off their face to reveal their true identity. One of the most essential ingredients, though,is a great villain. Someone that audiences can root against while our heroes attempt to outwit them before their evil plan comes to fruition. Unlike other franchise films such as Star Wars, which is anchored by a couple of iconic bad guys, there is a different villain in every Mission: Impossible until the last two movies....

Crisol is the Spanish word for Crucible, a word we all know from reading Arthur Miller’s play about the Salem Witch Trials in seventh-grade English. I believe Webster’s dictionary defines crucible as “some really messed up stuff that happened a long time ago”, which is a nice segue into Crisol: Theater of Idols’ dark fairytale world that blends Spanish history, folklore, and religion into a delightfully macabre survival horror. My hands-on preview of Crisol took me through the winding abandoned streets of Tormentosa, an island in the fictional country of Hispania where bloodthirsty living statues lurk around every corner....

Bloombergrecently released a comprehensive report on the troubled development cycle ofDragon Age: The Veilguard. The report was extensive, confirming that publisherElectronic Artsforced BioWare to pivot to a live-service title mid-development, and then back to a single-player game at the final hour. The constantly changing leadership structure of Dragon Age: The Veilguard resulted in a haphazard end product, tonally inconsistent and bearing the scars of the failed live-service iteration of the project....
