Part of the reasonAstro Bothas beensuch a smash hitis because of how approachable it is. No matter your age or your gaming experience,Astro Bot offers a delightful time. This universal appeal is why I consider itthe front runner for Game of the Year. A few games this year can claim to be excellent, even if perhaps none hold a candle to 2023’sBaldur’s Gate 3andTears of the Kingdom. But only one can claim to be excellent and easy for your grandma to enjoy....

Summary It’s no secret that theStar Warssequel trilogy remains the most divisive of the series' mainline movies. The original trilogy has the baked-in nostalgia, the prequels have the memes, but what do the sequels have, aside from a flawless litmus test for YouTube channels? What they’ve got is some truly excellent moments that will absolutely stand the test of time (please don’t quote this). Whether it’s from their thrilling action, dazzling effects, or even poignant drama, the Star Wars sequels boast plenty of high points that deserve just as much praise as their predecessors....
Summary For a franchise as iconic and long-running asCall of Dutyis, there are very few universally agreed upon opinions.Yes, Modern Warfare (2007) is iconic. Yes,Modern Warfare (2019) was an excellent reimagining. Yes, the Dual Rangers were OP. And, yes,we can 1v1 on Rust any day of the week. That said, there are tons of unpopular opinions. The kind of unpopular opinion that would likely get you thrown into the gulag. But these COD fans were willing to share their takes in a massive Reddit thread, and while some are controversial, others are perfectly acceptable....
Summary It was only last week thatI wrote about how much pressure was on Final Fantasy 14’s Patch 7.1to deliver. With the patch now live, it’s safe to say it succeeded. The added Main Scenario Quests build upon the new story arc superbly, while the new duties offer new challenges for us to sink our teeth into. I’ve always said the narrative is one of the most important aspects of FF14, and the new batch of MSQ gave us plenty to chew on....
I’ve been playing fighting games all my life, which is why it’s so surprising that I’m not very good at any of them. My first ever games console, thePS1, came withTekken 3, and it has remained my favourite series ever since as I dipped into previous entries and kept up with new ones. But many other games have been close to my heart too. I’ve never gotten on as well withStreet Fighter, the other contender toTekken’scultural might....
Summary As soon asDragon Age: The Veilguardwas re-revealed to the world, fans were divided on its visuals. Character and monster designs were noticeably more stylised than they were in previous titles, and the overall aesthetic was much brighter - both in terms of tone and colour palette. Now that the game is in our hands, there are certainly darker areas of Thedas, but one thing that’s unavoidable is all of the purple everywhere....
I’ve been enjoying many things aboutDragon Age: The Veilguard: the stylised visuals have grown on me, and I’m a fan of the class progression system, even if I feel the combat is a tad one-dimensional. However, as a long-time fan of the series, I have my gripes with some of the storytelling and writing in Veilguard, especially when it comes to how the game treats the lore the series has built up over the last 15 years....
Dragon Age: The Veilguardhas been received pretty well. BioWare was in desperate need for a win after Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem proved to be less than satisfactory. While it’s a departure from the gameplay of previous Dragon Age games, The Veilguard’s combat mechanics and overall story have been appreciated by fans. However, BioWare is still missing the interpersonal relationships and character interactions that made the studio so beloved. While fans love the game, many havecriticised the bland romanceoptions andeven just regular conversations with NPCs....
Summary As pointed out by Reddit user IbuprofenAbuser, during an incredibly emotional reveal about Bellara’s backstory inDragon Age: The Veilguard, there’s a distracting problem. Rook won’t stop mewing. With the time skip, and especially compared to Varric andEmmrich, Rook has to be the Thedas equivalent of an iPad Gen Z kid. It’s canon, I’m afraid. The dialogue wheel even has choices like “oof” and “ick”. The dialogue wheel gets a one on the boom meter, though....
Summary Fallout Season 2 is filming now, and judging from the ending to the first season, it’s going to be heavily inspired byFallout: New Vegas. Now, director and producer Jonathan Nolan has confirmed this, namedropping the game - and its fans - in an acceptance speed at The Game Awards. “I wanna thank fans of Fallout: New Vegas for not burning my house to the ground,” he joked, accepting the Best Adaptation award for Fallout Season 1....
