Final Fantasy XVI – Game Review
Even though there have been many mainline entries as well as a bunch of spinoffs, there really isn’t another Final Fantasy game quite like Final Fantasy XVI (16).

New Steam Record for Baldur’s Gate 3, Approaches Hogwarts Legacy
The past few weeks have revolved around the question: How big can Baldur’s Gate III’s successes be? The answer is: quite big! Normally, release figures on Steam set the record that holds. Baldur’s Gate III is not a normal case. During the first weekend, it reached 816,000 players, and now that number has been polished […]
South Park: Snow Day is a different kind of South Park – not a role-playing game
After the wildly charming and ridiculously fun role-playing games The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, our expectations for South Park games have changed. With South Park: Snow Day, we have to revise these expectations. Here, we don’t get a role-playing game with classic South Park graphics, but a 3D game with fast […]

Thirteen years is a long time, and that’s how long we’ve been waiting for Alan Wake 2. Remedy has considered those who haven’t played the original (or any Remedy game, for that matter) and those of us with limited memory. We will play as Alan Wake – and Saga Anderson. The FBI agent is there […]

Titan Quest 2 was revealed during THQ Nordic’s showcase yesterday (Friday). The original was released in 2006 and is considered one of the better ARPGs inspired by Diablo.

Digital Foundry delves into The Order: 1886
The Order: 1886, released for the PlayStation 4 in early 2015, may not have impressed too many due to its fairly generic gameplay that many had grown tired of by that point.

EA is shutting down more servers
EA announced this week that they will be shutting down servers for a number of their older games. Perhaps not very surprising, considering it’s reasonable to assume that the player base for these games isn’t very large anymore.
