Age of Mythology: Retold, in case you're unfamiliar, is a sort-of remake of the classic 2002 strategy game that—as per our Age of Mythology: Retold review, which gave it a solid 75, «walks the tightrope of updating the bits that feel clunky by today’s standards without killing the sense of nostalgia.»
Risk of Rain 2—and the series in general—has enjoyed plenty of success over the years. With the first game made by uni students Duncan Drummond and Paul Morse, and being somewhat of an indie smash hit, the second arrived in 2019 and also sold gangbusters, hitting 500,000 players in early access.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail has arrived to a bit of a mixed reception, thanks to a middling story that has a few glaring flaws and—despite some excellent improvements when it comes to bosses and dungeons—a few persistent issues that, from what I've seen from more critical elements of the community, are frustrating because of how long they've been going on.
I am, unfortunately, a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to videogames—especially ones like Stalker. In my heart, I know that atmosphere has precious little to do with graphical fidelity, that a skilled artist can make a deeply immersive game with naught but a few pixels, some shillings, cardboard, and elbow grease.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League didn't, by most metrics, do what it was supposed to. On paper, it was meant to spin up Rocksteady's pedigree of Batman games into a multiversal live service, aiming for a piece of the pie that games like Fortnite have been scarfing down for years.
World of Warcraft: The War Within is off to a decent start—there's been a bit of a deserved fuss over the new expansion's early access pricing, but a surprisingly good story campaign, gorgeous world, and a continued lean towards alt-friendly flexibility seems to have put the ambitious Worldsoul Saga in good standing.
I had the chance to sit down with the developers of Mouse: P.I. for Hire, a first-person shooter currently in development by Fumi Games. In a hands-off presentation shown to me by lead producer Maciej Krzemień and CEO/Game Director Mateusz Michalak at Gamescom, I was able to see quite a hefty chunk of gameplay, as well as get a little insight into the development process.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a fascinating game if you're into Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, the tabletop ruleset it's built upon—because while it's a decently faithful recreation of those rules, it also has enough homebrew nonsense (in the form of magic items and overall tweaks to the TTRPG's core systems) to stand out as its own thing.
