Baldur’s Gate 3's Challenge Is A Big Part Of Why It Works

InBaldur’s Gate 3, it’s extremely easy to get yourself killed. At the very least, it’s easy to find yourself in a situation where you are forced to save scum your way out of a battle because staying will end with everybody bleeding out on a dungeon floor.

With the Zowie EC-CW series, BenQ provides a refreshing alternative to the LED-laden peripheral scene. The three mice, labelled EC1-CW, EC2-CW, and EC3-CW respectively, are plain black, with a lone red squiggle denoting the Zowie logo....

Broken Roads' Morality System Is Part Baldur's Gate, Part Disco Elysium

There’s only so much choice a video game can give you. Open world games have borders because you can’t actually explore forever, only so far as the game is designed for. Likewise, while games like to claim they present endless choices, they only offer specific ones they have planned for. In most games, you can’t pull a gun on an annoying NPC withholding information even though you have the arsenal of a small army in your pockets....

Detective Pikachu Returns, Please Never Say That About Licktung Again

One of my favourite things aboutDetective Pikachu Returnsis the funky descriptions it gives to eachPokemon. I’ve never been much of a fan of the Pokedex entries, because they don’t feel real. The ones that aim for tragedy make no sense -all Banettes are haunted dolls that were thrown away?- and with the creepy ones it brings the character of their trainers into question. If we know Hypno goes into little kids' bedrooms and Drifloon abducts (skinny) children, what does that tell us about a trainer who has both of them in their party?...
