Mass Effect: Andromeda’s First Big Sidequest Is A Let-Down

One of Mass Effect: Andromeda’s earliest sidequests is called “First Murderer,” and it is a total flop.

Ubisoft Makes More Of Watch Dogs 2’s Remaining DLC Free

The Walking Dead‘s Third Video Game Season Feels Too Safe

Dating Sim Asks What You Are Doing With Your Life

At first glance, Date (Almost) Anything Simulator is your average dating sim. But where most dating sims are fluffy and comforting, this one is confrontational. There’s nothing about Date (Almost) Anything Simulator that makes it immediately obvious what kind of ride you’re on. It is aggressively normal at the outset, and pretty cliche. You play…

Civilization VI’s AI Gets A Much-Needed Fix This Week

One of the most annoying issues with Civ VI’s AI since launch has been the severity of warmonger penalties. Raise a finger against another Civ ever, even in defence, and you’re in trouble for the rest of the game. That’s not very fair, so it’s getting a fix. The game’s Spring Update will scale warmonger…
