Inside of me are two wolves. One wolf is looking at Destiny 2: The Final Shape with a critical eye. Ten years of storytelling have all been leading to this, and there’s a lot riding on this expansion. It needs to deliver a satisfying conclusion at an epic scale, tie up loose ends, surprise us, and make up for the shortcomings of Lightfall. He’s looking at every detail, every beat, every line of dialogue, and scrutinizing them....

Summary I didn’t realise that I was holding my breath for the last 20 minutes of theCitizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vectordemo until it finished. My ship was in tatters; my contract, the one thing I’d pinned all my hopes on, broken; and my only route of escape from a relentless hunter had seemingly closed. The Starward Vector demo is less a demo than a teaser, just enough gameplay to pique your interest, explain the new mechanics, and pull you into the story before ripping it all away....

Insert Coin teased a collaboration with CD Projekt Redlast month and followed up on that by releasinga line of merch dedicated to The Witcher.

Summary Cyberpunk 2077’s ongoing development is no more. No developers atCD Projekt Redare working on the game anymore, with everyone now moved over to either its sequel orThe Witcherseries. This was just confirmed by CD Projekt Red’s investor relations page, which has shared its latest breakdown of how many developers are working on each of its products. Here, it’s revealed that the bulk of CDPR’s developers are now working on Project Polaris, the codename forThe Witcher 4....

Summary It’s been four years since we started making jokes about Tesla’s Cybertruck and now the unique vehicle is finally starting to appear in the wild. Between looking like something you might drive in an earlyPS1game and the want of Tesla tomake games playable from inside its cars, it makes sense that a lot of people look at the Cybertruck and think of video games. That’s likely why a company called SS Customs is making Cybertrucks look likeHalo’s Razorbacks....

Summary A formerTwitchtrust and safety employee who worked at the platform during Dr DisRespect’s ban has claimed that the streamer knowingly sent explicit messages to a minor, even after discovering that they were underage. Dr DisRespect then announced he was going on an extended vacation, and that was thought by many to be the last we would have heard about the entire situation, but a former Twitch trust and safety employee has come forward with even more accusations....

Summary It took me several years to appreciate the chaotic beauty ofDragon Age: Origins. There’s so much going on under the hood that determines what kind of playthrough you end up with, and that makes it easy to causea life-altering mistake. My favourite mistake has stuck with me more than a decade later: fumbling my relationship with Alistair. 15 year old me was obsessed. 25 year old me still is, even though it’s significantly more embarrassing now....

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroesexists within a niche inside a niche. It’s a sprite-based JRPG that acts as a spiritual successor to theSuikodenfranchise. As beloved as those games may be, they were never well-known outside a pretty dedicated fandom. While Suikoden seemed happy to exist on the fringes, appealing to a particular brand of hardcore fan, Eiyuden feels poised to make a bigger splash than its spiritual predecessors ever did with its day-one Game Pass launch....

Summary Between the TV show and the irresistible urge you definitely felt to play the games again thanks to said TV show, you’ve probably felt a bit saturated withFalloutcontent lately. So you might have understandably decided to take a break and go play something else for a while. Except, surprise, the next game you jumped to just slapped you right in the moneymaker with a Fallout Easter egg out of nowhere....

Summary Now that theFalloutTV show is here, and fans of the series areunsurprisingly ripping each other to bits over it, uranium fever is at an all-time high. It’s been over 6 years since we last got a new Fallout game - the less said about Fallout 76’s reception at the time the better - but the appetitie for a new title has never been more clear, as several Fallout games have experienced a massive spike in players ever since the show’s release....

Like everyone else, I’ve been mystified by how poorly Bethesda has been able to capitalize on the success of Amazon’s Fallout series. The show has been such an enormous hit that it’s inspiring tens of thousands to return to the wasteland, or in some cases, to play Fallout for the very first time. The renewed interest in Fallout is incredible to see, so it must be pretty disappointing for Bethesda that all it has to offer right now is asix year old multiplayer spin-offthat was widely despised upon release, and a current-gen “upgrade” for a nine year old game that by most accountsmade that game worse....

Summary Baldur’s Gate 3is an amazing game — the sheer number of people who loved it and the awards it received speak for themselves. Along with being an excellent RPG with wonderful characters and writing, it’s also based on the Forgotten Realms, the most popular setting forDungeons & Dragonstabletop games. Because of that, this game is a beautiful way to learn more about this world and get you into D&D or create your tadpole adventurer based on the setting....
