There are certain games we’ll be waiting for with bated breath; one of which being theCyberpunk 2077sequel. After clawing it back in a spectacular way, the original CD Projekt Red game has become beloved. How stunning isCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty? We can’t get enough! Since then, news has been sporadic, at least regarding theCyberpunk 2077sequel. Until now, that is.

Dragon's Dogma 2 review: Maddeningly chaotic fantasy bliss

I never likedDragon’s Dogma. Or rather, Iwantedto like it, but for some reason never quite managed to click with the strange, ambitious 2012 RPG. I’m as surprised as anyone, then, thatDragon’s Dogma 2is currently my clear frontrunner for 2024’s game of the year. It’s easily the best RPG I’ve played sinceBaldur’s Gate 3. It manages to make me feel a sense of freedom I haven’t felt sinceThe Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, and a genuine wanderlust no video game has managed to capture for me sinceThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim....

Elden Ring player takes down Malenia with a level 1 character

Some actual beast of a player has managed to beat Melania inElden Ringwith a character still at level one. What’s even more impressive - though this is worthy of praise already - is that they did it while recovering from a broken arm. That’s like saying they can beat Melania with one hand tied behind their back. I can barely clear minibosses with my level 30+ character and this guy is out here just ruining Malenia’s day....
