You have been warned.I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 last month, and it's still stuck with me, like a bit of food in my molar that's taken time to chew. In a week that turned into...
As a man who writes for a living, I have no actual useful abilities. That means that—while I keep close track of the Bethesda modding scene—I often don't really understand what all the very smart people who work in it are actually speaking about. As far as I'm concerned, a 'script extender' means putting a load of white text into your screenplay to buff up the final wordcount.So it must...
Elden Ring Nightreign is now in the wild, and my experience thus far can be summed up as "wow this game is hard." I had a few runs over the weekend and, masochist that I am, went in fairly blind. Bad idea: Every single one ended when a party member picked a fight they shouldn't have, and we got brutally wiped by something gigantic.But at least in multiplayer it felt...
I've been spooked by plenty of pixel-art horror games, like Signalis or Look Outside. But I can't think of an FMV game that's truly frightened me.

Though we preferred TIE Fighter when it came to listing the best Star Wars games on PC, we did rate X-Wing quite highly on one important metric: it lets you fly a bloody X-Wing. The fantasy of flying to the rescue when a guy with a codename like Red Two shouts "I can't shake him!" is a highly specific one, but if you watched Star Wars at the right age...
You might not have much time to take in the atmosphere in Elden Ring Nightreign while you're speedrunning between boss fights, but more attention and detail was put into the world design than you might expect for a spin-off game that reuses so many assets from the 2022 hit.FromSoftware Environmental Artist Saori Mizuno dug into those details in a recent interview with IGN, where she revealed all the considerations that...
