In a game full of memorable characters, Orin still stands out inBaldur’s Gate 3. As the Chosen of Bhaal, she’s one of the three main antagonists that you have to take down, and she’s almost definitely the most off-putting. She wears an outfit made of flesh, shekeeps her mother’s rotting corpse in her room, and she can even kill one of your party members, just to get to you. So, it’s no surprise to hear that a lot of thought went into how she talks about her favourite hobby - murdering in the name of Bhaal....

Quick Links There is a lot to wrap your head around inDeath Stranding 2: On The Beach. Anyone who dabbled withKojima Productions’ previous game will slide right back into the delivery of stuff ranging from giant parcels to dead bodies, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t new porters to meet, mechanics to master, and enemies to confront. You will find so much to do across Australia and Mexico as you embark on a 40-hour epic in which you make deliveries, battle evil tar ghosts, and definitely stumble down a mountain or two....

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there: staring down another gargantuan, god-like entity inElden Ring, controller slick with sweat, wondering if there’sanyalternative to dying for the dozenth time. What if, instead of dodging massive attacks and chugging flasks, we just… talked? Forget the Wondrous Physick; I’m here to propose the Wondrous Chat! These are the bosses who, I believe, could have been reasoned with, given the right words and maybe a few well-placed bribes....

Last year, THQ Nordic teased that the Darksiders drought might be coming to an end during one of its showcases,giving us a brief shot of The Charred Councilto whet our appetite. Now, almost exactly one year later, THQ Nordic has dropped the secrecy and fully announced Darksiders 4 during this summer’s THQ Nordic showcase....

Death Stranding 2: On The Beachis everything I wanted from the sequel toHideo Kojima’s utterly bizarre post-apocalyptic delivery simulator. In essence, that means it doesn’t change all that much. It instead chooses to iterate upon traversal, exploration, and combat with nice quality-of-life improvements to its myriad systems that make it much more fun to play. After spending 50 hours working on the single-player campaign, I’ve already gone back for more and begun the journey of getting each and every porter to the coveted top ranking....

Hideo Kojima revealed even more about the development and inner workings of Death Stranding 2 during the Sydney Film Festival (thanks,GamesRadar)....
