Like many other games in the Soulslike genre, Lies of P refuses to hold the hand of the player. It doesn’t let you pause, the mechanics are unforgiving, there’s no way to load saves, and the quests don’t have a lot of markers for you to find the right path. One such quest is the …
Baldur’s Gate 3 is, if nothing else, a game of fantastic variation. From the choices you have in conversation to the gear you may end up equipping, there’s no one way to accomplish anything in the game. That is part of the brilliance of Baldur’s Gate 3. This also is probably the reason why many …
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Gauntlet of Shar, you’re faced with trial after trial of both enemies and puzzles as you attempt to find the Nightsong. When you finally see a non-hostile Displacer Beast, you might be tempted to follow it as it leads you deeper into the gauntlet. Don’t; it’s leading you into an …
Baldur’s Gate 3 features a seemingly endless amount of Easter-eggs, side quests, and things to do outside the main mission objectives. It’s no surprise that the game can, for some gamers, last for 100s of hours. Players can spend their time getting more personal with their companions, crafting potions and powerful brews, and even just …
Viconia DeVir may be a familiar name to some Baldur’s Gate veterans. She appeared in the previous Baldur’s Gate games as a tense ally, and now in Baldur’s Gate 3 as a potential antagonist. Whether she is friend or foe, she is extremely dangerous. The encounter against Viconia is one of the most difficult fights …
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game loaded to the brim with choices, options, possibilities, and unpredictable outcomes. Each roll of the dice presents a different chance to succeed or fail, to make a friend or to start a fight…and the options start stacking up even prior to the game really starting. Before gamers get down …
Of all the powerful weapons in Starfield, none cut as deep as The Last Priest. The rare variation of the Va’Ruun Painblade is, as of yet, the best melee weapon that has been found in the game. That means the sooner you track it down, the quicker you’ll be able to holster your sidearm and …

Something that is consistently done well in many roguelike games is creating a story that acknowledges the player’s attempt to proceed further. In Hades, protagonist Zagreus dies and resurrects each time he fails to escape, and the game’s cast acknowledges his death and comments on it. Similarly, Skul, the protagonist of Skul: The Hero Slayer, …
I hate horror games. Well, that’s not entirely true. I love them, but only in the daylight, and when there’s someone else in the house, and when I’m not going to need to go down the creepy basement steps to do laundry. I’m kind of a wuss, is what I’m admitting to. And yet, I …
