I’ve been playing Pokémon Pokopia for under three days, yet I already clocked almost 20 hours. Support. As anyone with internet access knows, the game is turning heads around the world—whether it’s the creative ways players are bending its systems to build ridiculous super-structures, or the fascinating (and slightly eerie) post-apocalyptic mood that fills its … Read more

One comparison you’ll hear often when people talk about Solasta 2 alongside Baldur’s Gate 3 is how closely they resemble each other visually—fair point, because they do look alike. Both titles tap into Dungeons & Dragons themes, use an isometric perspective, revolve around party-based play, and lean on turn-based combat. They even share a few … Read more

I genuinely get a kick out of Monster Hunter; and by that, I mean a great deal of Monster Hunter—seriously, I can hardly believe how many hours I’ve poured into the series over the years.

When I think about the prospect of the best Souls entry—one that keeps returning to my mind time and again—Dark Souls 2 is the one that most often wins out. I know that’s a contentious claim, but I genuinely have a soft spot for it, flaws included. I’m drawn to its wildly ambitious streak, even … Read more

Ever since age limits started being applied to video games, few examples have been used as consistently as one franchise when people discuss the risks of underage play in society: the crime series Grand Theft Auto. Even though every Grand Theft Auto title I can find is listed with a PEGI 18 rating in Europe … Read more

I have to admit, I was a bit stunned when I checked my Pokémon Pokopia playtime on Monday and somehow saw that I’d logged close to 24 hours across the weekend. Still, that didn’t stop me from snorting when coworkers started trading stories about giving up sleep for the game. Absurd, I thought! Unthinkable! Which … Read more
