Dune: Awakening, despite its larger focus on narrative, is ultimately still an MMO. The game is designed from the ground up to be played with friends, eventually joining or creating your own guild to explore the Deep Desert. Now, if you’re particularly interested in PvP, it’s true that there’s no better way to tackle this area than with a strong guild at your back. However, that shouldn’t deter those who prefer to play alone....
Wuchang: Fallen Feathersis very frustrating. You could argue that this is what makes the soulslike genre so appealing, as you tussle with foes much bigger and stronger than you who will - nine times out of ten - mash you into a fine paste, but Wuchang is frustrating in ways that make it a slog to get through. Whether it be a boss fight that feels a little too unfair, or level design that seems as if it never gets more complex than a scribble on the back of a napkin, there’s always something eating away at your patience....

Depending on how you look at it, video game development is one big pile of deception. From invisible walls and trigger zones to graphical manipulations, the best games make the most of all sorts of tricks to grant the illusion of what’s happening. Not to imply that’s a bad thing. Finding clever ways to manipulate the player experience means richer gameplay and more fun. It also means better graphics to enjoy....
Most cozy games out theretend to congregate in a rather specific set of genres like life sims and farming games and, appropriately, don’t often step out of that little comfort zone. It’s understandable, really. Have you seen the world outside of comfort zones? Seems hardly worth the effort, to be honest. But sometimes, you’ll find some oddly cozy games in the most unlikely places. Who says your average Stardew Valley-like should get to have all the chill fun?...

No, you fools, I’m talking aboutrealBlack Friday. The get up at 4am and stand in line outside of Toys-R-Us for buy-one-get-one-free Amiibos Black Friday.

Between ‘The First Console War’ and ‘The Wider World of Atari’, the impressive 115-game catalog has expanded to 153. Three years later, and Atari 50 is still going strong with ‘The Namco Legendary Pack’....
Baldur’s Gate 3has given us some of the most beloved characters in video game history. Each of them is so well rounded and clearly defined that the community is split on which of them is a clear favourite. Whilethe characters and actors have become extremely popularin the industry, it unfortunately seems Baldur’s Gate 3 hasn’t really boosted their career prospects. We’d all line up in a heartbeat if we got a chance to meet Neill Newbon, Samantha Béart, Jennifer English, Dave Jones, and the rest, but, according to the actors themselves, casting leads aren’t exactly doing the same....

Music in video games has come a long way since the 8-bit era. This isn’t to say that there aren’t plenty of iconic video game soundtracks that have (sand)wormed their way into our ears despite only having a handful of digitized tones at their disposal. But, like most elements of video games, game music has evolved quite drastically, and no game in recent memory bears that legacy better thanDune: Awakening....
Allow me to be literally the first to say:Breath of the Wildis one of my favourite games of all time. Revolutionary take, I know. Back whenTears of the Kingdomlaunched in 2023, I was excited for a darker, refreshing follow-up to its gargantuan predecessor.While I do love Tears of the Kingdom, it’snot quiteas special as its predecessor for a few reasons, but something that always stuck out to me was the performance....
