The penultimate episode of The Expanse: A Telltale Series is rather polarizing. In essence, the highs of the episode are probably the peak of The Expanse title so far, but the lows are equally as low. Episode 3 left us—as Camina Drummer—at an old abandoned mining station in deep space. Our oxygen is low and we're all alone after Arlen and Rayen took control of the Artemis and left us.

Photo mode is one of those features that has become increasingly commonplace, now that social integration and sharing images from your game with the wider world is so easy. It's a fun way to stage those perfect shots, and snap pics of your journey through a game world. And photo mode has been a great way to re-engage with Cyberpunk 2077.
With the impending launch of Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty...

Armored Core 6 is an absolute blast to play through, which certainly contributes to players fighting through to the ending. From the combat's blistering pace to the depth of customization, this is undoubtedly one of the best mech games in a long time. It also has a solid narrative about fighting against the odds for your beliefs and survival.
The delivery is more direct than most works coming out...

It often feels as if anime and video games are inextricably linked. I feel as if — inmany, but maybe notallcases — the Venn diagram of anime fans to gamers is a perfect circle.
There are also a metric ton of games based on anime —My Hero One’s Justice,One Piece Odyssey, andDragon Ball FighterZ, to name three. On the flip side, there are even more anime based on games — the recently released...

When Fallout 3 launched, my roommates and I all retreated to our separate rooms to play the intro. When we emerged, we all had different stories. One snuck by the overseer. The other talked to them. As is often the case with me, I shot first and apologized afterward.
Bethesda’s open-world games seem to swing between spectacular introductions or less inspired ones. Morrowindhad you fill out...

There aren’t enough games that you can play as a Centaur. Or Centaurides, I guess. Or Centauresses, if you prefer. There aren’t enough games where you play as people with butts that are also horses. I’d have to think very hard to name a single one, which is why it’s unfortunate that it’s taken me so long to find Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder.
I’m familiar with the Golden Axeseries, but I...

Final Fantasy XIV is celebrating its tenth anniversary since the Realm Reborn relaunch, and the MMO seems keen on making us a bigger part of the decision-making process. So far, we've seen in-game events like The Rising celebrate some old favorites, but now Square Enix is asking what we want to see.
More specifically, they're asking who we want to see. The new FFXIVsurvey inquires about all the...

Romance stories come in all forms, spinning a narrative around charming or chaotic get-togethers. As with any genre, romance stories have plenty of tropes that often pop up. Even when it isn't the focus, weaving in romantic pursuits is common in most forms of media.
Video games are no exception to this and can be some of the best parts if executed well. RPGs and visual novels particularly excel...

Video games and parents often do not go hand in hand. They are often put on the back burner, if their existence is acknowledged at all. Sure, sad-dad games like The Last of Us or God of War (2018) received acclaim, but they're the exception.
Parents who aren't the protagonists of a contemplative journey with a younger person get an even more raw deal. Protagonists often have seemingly absent...

It’s probably not all that controversial to say that Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of 2023’s best games. Between a varied cast of lovable characters and an amazing story with great depth, it is a wonderful RPG that's one of the best in years. But until this week, it was only on PC. That makes its extreme popularityimpressive on its own, but many console players were no doubt feeling left out. With the...

Time is a curious thing. It can strengthen bonds or ideas, but it can also smooth out the edges and bumps we might not overlook today. It makes going back to older and influential games like Chrono Trigger an interesting prospect, as playing the classic in 2023 can be its own little window in time, to see the impact of something right at the moment it hit. And the trial of Chrono Trigger did not...

The early 2010s were a weird time for Sony. As the PS3 started gaining some real traction and the PS4 was around the corner, the PlayStation Vita launched. This little handheld that couldn't served as Sony's last major handheld before the company shifted all its focus onto console games.
It's a sad story of a console with unfulfilled potential because I think it's one of the best handhelds ever....
