It’s a shame that this doesn’t even mention Hunt: Showdown, which is easily the best extraction shooter I’ve played (including DMZ, Tarkov, The Cycle, Marauders, Dark and Darker, and others. I think Deep Rock Galactic is sort of an extraction shooter? I haven’t played that though, so if it’s better, don’t mind me) AND… Read more

They knocked this out in a year. Read more

Thanks for telling me about Hexcells. The first game has been a great 3 hours. I’ll certainly enjoy the sequels too.  Read more

“To me, it suggests that pioneer-minded discovery is perhaps a distraction from addressing real systemic issues in our world.” Read more

Great review. My biggest concern going into Starfield is that they were trying to do too much with it. After spending a few weeks with it, I can confirm my concerns were validated. It’s a game that presents you with so many incredible ideas—maybe some of the most interesting and (more importantly, this being a game… Read more

Someone need to mod these into the game.  When you hit level 2 I want to hear “Aren’t you a big bad player character now” Read more

I need a mod that plays her “Haha you rolled badly” every time you roll a Nat 1. Read more

Oh now I wish there were a ton more of these, these are funny as hell!  Read more

So stoked for Sea of Stars. The Messenger was incredible.  This team’s got the chops Read more

GT7 for me. My buddy beat my qualifying time for one of the online races by like a second and a half (an eternity in racing), so now I gotta get it back Read more

Now that I’ve actually beaten FF16 and even played some of the start again on New Game+ I can tell you that the game’s prologue/demo ends up being a lot less indicative of the rest of the game. The GoT political stuff is a lot less brutal and much more in the background, the main character is WAY less of an emo… Read more

I’ll probably be playing Yakuza: Like A Dragon this weekend since I got it through PS+. No idea how or why I ended up missing this game, but holy hell I am having a blast seeing Kasuga simultaneously be a total dolt and really compassionate through all the shit he’s going through. Easily one of my favorite games I’ve… Read more

I’ve suddenly found myself playing the campaign for StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty out of nowhere. I bought it when it came out and then just never played it. I played the hell out of the first one with friends in high school, so playing 2 now is an unexpected jolt of nostalgia. After all this time, I’m still rubbish… Read more

I finally got my new glasses yesterday; so once I adjust to them I’m gonna try and get Tears of the Kingdom wrapped up. I’ve got what I assume are the four main dungeons done, so I’ll be interested to see how much game is left in this game. Might also play a bit of TimeSplitters 3. Read more

but I’m already playing half of these! Though I do need to go back to Blasphemous...hell that game is hard. Read more

Goodness, I have idea what I’ll be playing. I just finished Steelrising, which was much more fun than I thought it would be, but with family visiting this weekend I don’t think I’ll have much time for games. Maybe Pentiment or Moss: Book II.

The weekend threads are back! Nature is regenerating! Read more

Zelda: TotK, Diablo 4, and Battle Bit Remastered are my current 3 games I’m hooked on. Read more

Thank you for writing about Tim Cain and saying what I struggled to articulate after viewing his video: I love Tim, and he’s right, but it’s also an incredibly scary time to be trans. Also, I really enjoy your work and have been reading you for a long time. Thanks for doing what you do. Read more

I’m younger, but thinking of the old days, heck even up to a bit over a decade ago, it was so damned scary. Afraid of being open to anyone around you, even those technically closest to you. Fearing you’d lose everything. Now most I come across are accepting. Most of the time, I can assume I can be open.
That said right… Read more
