May 16, 2022VG247

If your business with the Erdtree is finished, it’s time to return to the roots. So, you’ve finally completed Elden Ring. After dozens of deaths to every one one of dozens of bosses.

The completion of a From Software game can be a strange time, the initial elation of victory fading…

The Elder Scrolls 6 should have the charm of Oblivion, not just the scale of Skyrim

March 18, 2022VG247

Bethesda’s long-running fantasy RPG series should allow itself to be sillier – and more colourful! – moving forward. By Azura, is The Elder Scrolls 6 far away! With Starfield set to arrive near the end of the year, the sixth main entry in Bethesda’s iconic saga might as well not exist right now. Of course, we’re not short on massive open worlds – especially now that SSDs are taking over and rewriting what can be done when it comes to level design – but you just can’t fill that Skyrim-shaped hole, can you? What makes The Elder Scrolls so captivating?…

Dragon’s Dogma is the perfect game to play before Elden Ring

February 14, 2022VG247

Playing Capcom’s most underrated action RPG might help us better understand (and wait for) From Software’s newest. It’s wild to think Elden Ring is almost here. With hype reaching all-time highs and diehard FromSoft fanatics crawling up the walls in anticipation, it might be time to consider revisiting (or trying out for the first time) an overlooked game that could help us better understand the Lands Between. Dragon’s Dogma, initially released back in 2012, was jointly directed by Devil May Cry veteran Hideaki Itsuno and Monster Hunter’s Kento Kinoshita, and it shows: there was a really strong focus on hack-and-slash…

The PlayStation 3 Is Now Fifteen Years Old

November 11, 2021Kotaku

Can you believe it? The PlayStation 3 launched fifteen years ago today. It was an expensive console and a messy launch, with hype overload and some truly bad press conferences. But Sony didn’t give up on the PS3, and neither did gamers. The PS3 was home to a slew of great exclusives, such as The Last of Us, Demon’s Souls, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Yakuza 4. It’s easy to look back at the PS3 as something that was always a terrific game console, but it didn’t start that way. I remember sitting in the audience at…
