The Last of Us still has some hurdles to clear. I like the game enough, but I don’t think the story is quite as affecting nor as originally brilliant as advertised. Part of this is personal preference, but then I’m talking about my own enjoyment of the show, so personal preference is all that counts. I think the sequel is far more nuanced and resonant, and even then I don’t feel The Last of Us is head and shoulders above all other video game stories in the way it has implicitly advertised itself as....

Quick Links Lyriumis a topic introduced in the very firstDragon Ageas a way to give the player mana potions, but it has since exploded in the lore as something with so many implications that one can hardly keep track.

I’ve been playing a bit of Hi-Fi Rush since its surprise shadow drop earlier this week, but as ever with a rhythm game, ‘playing’ is a strong word. There are various categories you can be scored in across the game, and I keep getting ‘B’ or higher in most of them, but for ‘Timing’ I’m lucky to get a C. Hi-Fi Rush mainly relies on rock and punk music, and it makes sense to lean into something so rhythmic, where the best is crucial to the music’s overall composition....

Quick Links It’s arguable that one of the more distinctive features of theDark Soulsseries is not its ruthlessness but rather its intrigue.
