With each new Dragon Age game, BioWare brings a new evolution of its RPG series that builds on what came before. 2011’s Dragon Age 2 transitioned away from the CRPG roots of its predecessor for a more engaging and real-time action battle system. Then, 2014’s Dragon Age: Inquisition fully embraced gaming’s open-world trend at the time and delivered a story filled with political intrigue.
Nobody Wants To Die has almost every detective noir staple in one game. You play as a hard-boiled detective with a tragic past and a drinking problem. There’s a good-cop/bad-cop dynamic with your partner as you work together to solve a murder case that exposes the city’s morally corrupt underbelly. It takes place in New York City. It’s constantly raining.
During Nintendo’s August 2024 Partner Direct, Bandai Namco announced that Tales of Graces f is getting a remaster for modern platforms. The RPG was originally released in Japan for the PlayStation 3 in 2010, and finally made its way to the West in 2012. Its return this coming January is no surprise. With the critical and commercial success of Tales of Arise, the Tales series has gotten more attention than it ever has before. Now, the series is celebrating its 30th anniversary and producer Yusuke Tomizawa has released a video message about Tales of Graces f and Namco’s wider Tales Remastered project, teasing that there will be more on the way.

The former had a playable epilogue called The Answer, while the latter added a female protagonist.

Helldivers 2 took the world by storm earlier this year with its hilarious emergent gameplay moments and satirical story that took a stab at fascism. While that felt like a breath of fresh air, it’s not the first game to tackle those ideas. The Earth Defense Force series has been around longer than Helldivers has, bringing Starship Troopers-like action to players. Earth Defense Force and Helldivers share a lot in common, from their story premises to their gameplay styles. Both involve killing waves of monsters and having an absolute blast while doing so.
