I'm Pretending Every Game Is Another Planet In Starfield

Starfieldwas my most anticipated game of 2023, and I’ve barely had time to play it. So far, I’ve only spent about three hours inBethesda’s space exploration sim. That, in the business, is what we call barely scratching the surface of the surface. But as I spend time playing other games I need to play for work (and, you know, for fun), I’ve found a cool life hack that allows me to also be playing Starfield....

Is Massive Big Enough To Make Avatar, Star Wars, And The Division?

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2is one of the best third-person shooters I’ve ever played. With satisfying gunplay and terrific levels based on Washington DC’s many museums (and some fictional ones too), Massive Entertainment’s shooter stands out as one of the best live-service titles of the last console generation. So, when Ubisoft unceremoniously announced this week that a sequel, titled — you guessed it — Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 was in the works, I was extremely excited....

With the advent of recent HD collections, newcomers have been able to consume all the Kingdom Hearts goodness they can handle in a single sitting....

No, Action Combat Shouldn't Be Added To Baldur's Gate 3

Earlier this week, a tweet made the rounds in which a games writer said thatLarian Studiosshould add a real-time combat option toBaldur’s Gate 3. I don’t want to put this guy on blast, but I think it’s worth breaking down why that’s a bad idea. Most importantly, it would require completely rebalancing the game. Every encounter in Baldur’s Gate 3 feels exceptionally fine tuned and, often, designed to teach you something new....

Path Of Exile 2 Preview

Path of Exileis my favorite ARPG. No other game in the genre offers the level of complexity and endgame variety that Grinding Gear Games has managed to create over the last decade. I find myself coming back to Wraeclast every three months to experience the new League and endgame systems. Yet every time I come back to PoE, I’m always met with the game’s biggest flaw: the campaign. Leveling a new character is an exercise in tedium with how poorly paced the campaign is, compounded by the massive difficulty spikes found in the first two Acts....
