I wrote recently about howplaying one CRPG makes me want to play every CRPG. In the case ofBaldur’s Gate 3, playing it is making me want to play Baldur’s Gate 3. All over again. On some level,Larian’s massive role-playing game takes the same approach as a lot of other choice-driven games. Much like inThe Outer Worlds' opening questline, the first act of Baldur’s Gate 3 presents you with two settlements that are at odds with each other: the druid grove and the goblin camp....

After much hand-wringing, complaining, and grumbling, I’ve finally turned my back onStarfieldto return to the game Ireallywant to play –Baldur’s Gate 3. I might go back to Starfield one day, when there are fewer excellent games coming out. With every gaming boom comes a bust, so I’m sure there will be a time in the next few years when we’ll see a schedule less packed with time-consuming triple-A games. But that time is not now, and I’d rather spend the little free time I have playing things that really enrapture me....

Like many gamers, I’ve spent a healthy portion of 2023 revisiting old worlds that have been blessed with a new coat of paint. I started the year off playingDead Space, before moving on toResident Evil 4 RemakeandMetroid Prime Remastered. While I finished Resident Evil 4 quickly, I’ve spent much of the year on Metroid Prime. It’s a twisty, turny game — though the new hint system helps keep you going in the right direction....

Persona 5 Tacticais a strange entry into the series’ canon.Persona 5has already been continued via the traditional extended edition (Royal) and rhythm game (Dancing in Starlight), as well as Q2 Labyrinths that connected Personas 3-5 non-canonically. Then, rather than the fighting game we saw with Persona 4, we instead got a musou game (Strikers), that acted as a direct sequel, although it ignored any changes in Royal entirely. Now we have the TRPG Tactica, which also ignores Royal, and keeps the Persona 5 fires burning....

Pokemonis a phenomenon that has mostly passed me by. When the series started I was a teenager with a PlayStation and neither enough money nor any desire to switch allegiance to Nintendo. I mean it was 1996. I had tombs to raid whilefalling in love with Lara Croft. So Pokemon simply became another iconic series I never played. Now I have kids of my own who talk about Pokemon a lot, I’ve been meaning to pick up one of the many games in our house, but I never got around to it....
