Dragon Age: The Veilguard still isn't an open-world game, but new gameplay footage makes the RPG look way less linear than we feared
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is ditching Inquisition's open-world structure in favor of a "mission-based" approach. That's more similar to the structure of the first two entries in the series, but our first look at gameplay earlier this year showed what amounted to a combat-filled crawl through a glorified tunnel, leaving some fans fearing The Veilguard might be far too linear. Luckily, a new extended look at gameplay is putting those fears to rest.

Unfortunately, despite the substantial overhaul, he apparently caught Steam on a bad day when he submitted Influx Redux for build review.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom takes the right cues from Tears of the Kingdom
The only constant in the Legend of Zelda series is change. From its perspective to its art style, Nintendo takes some surprising risks when it comes to one of its most valuable franchises. That often pays off. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for instance, was a bold open-world reinvention of the classic adventure formula that put an emphasis on flexible gameplay and emergent moments born from creative thinking. That design didn’t just influence its direct sequel, the excellentThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It’s very much present in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom too.
