I don’t think you can really understand what Final Fantasy 14 players are going through right now if you aren’t one. The launch of a new expansion is a stressful, overwhelming time, and there hasn’t been an MMO expansion as monumental or important as Endwalker since at least 2008’s Wrath of Lich King, if ever. […]

“While Jak is ostensibly a platformer, the gameplay environment is more expansive and cinematic,” Jak and Daxter composer Josh Mancell says. “The playable character [Jak] is able to explore the surrounding areas as well as complete tasks and missions. The soundtrack was created to mirror this dynamic.” Jak is now 20 years old, but the […]

Thanks to Netflix’s Arcane, I have a newfound obsession with the world of League of Legends. I’ve already devoured Ruined King: A League of Legends story and I’m now digging my way through the short stories, comics, and videos on League’s Universe site. There’s no better feeling than discovering rich and complex new worlds in […]

I’ve never finished Skyrim’s main story. It’s boring, the fate of saving the world from legendary dragons and evil empires eclipsed by the menial task of exploring winding caves in search of treasure or establishing my homestead and starting a family far away from the epic destiny thrust upon me. I always allow myself to […]

Rei awakens, dazed and confused within the Ultravoid. She’s a voidrunner, meaning she explores black holes with the help of advanced technology. Unfortunately, the Ultravoid is an exceptionally massive black hole with Rei’s home planet ensnared in its vacuum. Time is of the essence; Rei was sent into the Void as part of a team […]

Halo Infinite is a great game with a lot of problems. The challenge-based progression system incentivizes players to ignore the objectives, the cosmetic system is both overly complicated and creatively limiting, the shop items are absurdly overpriced, the battle pass seasons are way too long and the rewards are underwhelming, the first in-game event is […]

I love a good power fantasy as much as the next person. And if you think I wasn’t fist-pumping the first time I saw Master Chief boogie-boarding an antimatter bomb through space and into a Covenant cruiser, you would be incorrect. But power fantasies are a dime a dozen. The most memorable Halo moments are […]

Remedy Entertainment has a brazen, unadulterated love for cinema. In Max Payne, you evoke all the chaotic action of film noir and thrillers when playing as the titular disgraced cop. You slow-mo your way towards destruction, drifting and gliding fluidly across asphalt and concrete while wantonly spraying bullets on your enemies. Then there’s Quantum Break, […]
