FromSoftware spent years making its biggest game world ever in Elden Ring's Lands Between, and now one fan of this massive open-world RPG spent roughly 500 hours making a tinier, still-massive, low-poly version of it. And man, it is cool.
Former and longtime Bethesda developer Nate Purkeypile says his new "heavy metal open world horror game" is five times as big as Skyrim, and in doing so riffs on an iconic Todd Howard moment.
If you've played a Bethesda RPG in the past decade you've seen plenty of Nate Purkeypile's work. The developer worked as a world/lighting artist on Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Skyrim, was lead artist on Fallout 76, and designed several iconic locations like Diamond City, Little Lamplight, and Paradise Falls.

The PC Gamer work chat has been buzzing about Metaphor: ReFantazio, and contributor Lewis Parker had nothing but praise for the game in his 95% review.

Even as someone who has followed every major update to Diablo 4 over the last year, the release of Vessel of Hatred feels like the launch of a whole new action RPG. The bulk of the new expansion is like upgrading to a new phone: all the familiar stuff is still there but it's faster and easier to use. And the new campaign has plenty of moments that I wouldn't have ever expected to see in a dark fantasy story where you're hunting yet another demon from hell.
