NieR is that, and much more. And it will keep going, surprising you again, even if you thought you'd already seen all (e.g. after completing the first run, and then the second run...) If only they announced a sequel, I'd be wishlisting it the very minute of it.

An interesting quote from Mike Kayatta, game director of Remedy’s upcoming FBC: Firebreak, about games released at a lower price point than we’ve come to expect (aka less than $60 USD) and becoming popular: “I read somebody describe this recently in a very eloquent way as game developers...

Well, a 3/5 is already better than a 0/5, so there is that. DA:O was being written when the Game of Thrones show didn't exist. Gaider was inspired by the actual books by Martin, so you can find a lot of similar approaches (the Knight Commander etc). The whole Grey Warden code of conduct. Back...

Happy 10-year anniversary to The Witcher 3! It feels a bit unreal that it's been 10 years since TW3 release. I played it in 2016, so a year+ later than the release of the game, and essentially, it became the first of my "new" games, starting the whole habit of playing new games (before that...

I agree with Belgarath. You've given it a fair chance, but it is not working; it's ok. I wouldn't be able to imagine what it's like to play DA:O in 2025 blind. For me, it has always come in some context. The context being 2009 and DA:O being the game closest to the games I liked the most, the...

Huh, I wonder if Morgana the character (Morgan le Fay) actually influenced Gaider's decision to name her Morrigan. Probably? It's so fun to read your thoughts on the events, the hints, and what you think about the characters. Morrigan & Alistair banter will continue. If you're worried if it'll...

There is a new article from Jason Schreier highlighting the issues of getting investments for medium games. For the last two years, video-game developers across the world have been running into the same problem: Funding has dried up. With growth flat and interest rates high, investors and...

The game hasn't even launched in Early Access yet, but the dev team has already introduced changes based on the feedback they had received. They redesigned the Temple town screen and the adventure model, and redid the Angels model to match the world of Enroth better. They have added colour...

Not sure how to not spoil it, but actually, a female noble origin might give you probably the most impressive and surprising ending.

Ohhh, that's a good one. What do you think about other "new" Doom games (after the reboot)? How do you think this game will fare against them?

The game I mentioned, Kenshi, is currently on a good sale on Steam (70% off). Looking at your frustrations with BG and DA:O, I think probably a sandbox like that could be a cure...

Well, again, even if your opinions are a bit controversial, you're not far from being right. Turn-based mode won over any RtwP variants, period, and it happened over the last 5 years. Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder games, they all added TB, and it became more popular among fans. And, of course...

Wow, you really accelerated there. It's amazing how a low-level character could reach Act 2 that smoothly. Too bad it didn't work out but I guess it would have happened sooner or later, as this game is balanced for having ~equal levels for your party and enemies.

Finishing moves in this game are really good. You'll notice that different weapon setups lead to different finishing moves for some particular enemies, like dragons. I remember I always tried to make it so that the finishing move in a particular fight was inflicted by my preferred party member...

A neat avatar choice! Not only it's a creature from Berserk, it's also an easter egg in D4 apparently.

I'll try handling my next playthrough with as few reloads as possible, but considering there are still bugs in the game, and I only played through it once, and never tried the extra difficulty, I won't be enabling the Honor mode. Re-rolling once or twice for combat sounds reasonable. As for...

That's sad. It reminds me of how one of your Sorceresses died after teleporting. Seems that is a dangerous thing to do at that difficulty level. Still, the run was fascinating indeed.

Looks like a breeze walk! Also, I need to say this: I really appreciate cropped images. The focus on the item/monster/action, very handy. Well-done!

I'm looking forward to playing Death Stranding 2 when it comes to PC. I can recommend watching this preview by Skill Up, it's mostly spoiler-free and explains what to expect: I liked DS 1 a lot because of its gameplay, it's one of the most unique games. Sounds like DS 2 will be that, but...
